Respect! The 'proper England' stood up - Hemp

The Lionesses will now reach the quarterfinals with victory over Wales in St Gallen tomorrow night and the mood in camp is decidedly more jovial than it was following their opening loss to France, which had left them in a perilous position.

Even boss Sarina Wiegman admitted she was surprised by Wednesday night's 4-0 scoreline, increasingly being branded "proper England" football by the Lionesses and their coach. “It was important we turned it around and we proved to the fans, we proved to everyone, that we're here to compete and we're here to win,” said Hemp.
