Players at the European Championship experience significant pressure to perform as successes raise the profile of women's football. Lucy Bronze emphasizes that while winning the tournament is their primary goal, the positive impact on the sport's growth is an important consideration. She notes that England's recent success has greatly expanded interest in women's football. Additionally, players from Sweden and England have familiarity from previous encounters, leading to expectations of a competitive match with both teams fully committed to winning.
Every single player that puts on a shirt in this tournament probably feels that... really boost women's football and we know that success comes from that.
My main reason for winning the tournament is to lift the trophy, but a part and parcel of success is that it helps build the women's game.
It's always a tough game. England have a lot of talented players whereas our biggest strength lies in the way we play as a team.
Both teams are at the top level, no sitting back, and everything that you think of in a football game could happen.
