Karen Farley scored two goals for England women at the 1995 World Cup in Sweden.
“I’ll be the first one to admit that five years ago I’d turn the girls’ football on the TV and turn off after a little while, because it wasn’t as exciting as you wanted it to be.
Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo head into the final in sparkling form, having both scored in the quarter-final and semi-final games, but Farley said a goal from any position would do. “I don’t care who puts the ball in the back of the net – as long as one of us does! I think they’re all playing out of their skins.”
She said she hoped coach Sarina Wiegman would stick with the same formation for the final and keep Ella Toone in the starting line-up.
