England captain Millie Bright gives classy interview after World Cup final defeat

England captain Millie Bright showed her class in an interview immediately after losing the World Cup final to Spain.

Sarina Wiegman's were looking to follow up last year's Euros triumph by becoming world champions and bring football home in front of 75,000 fans at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Many members of the squad were seen visibly distraught having come so close and Bright, who led England in the absence of regular skipper Leah Williamson due to an ACL injury, was gutted.

But the Chelsea defender spoke well in a chat with the BBC immediately after the final whistle was blown.

"This is really hard to take. We gave it everything. Hand on heart we can say we gave it everything," Bright said.

“In the first half we weren’t at our best. Second half we bounced back, showed our fight, showed our character.

"We had chances, we hit the bar, but we just didn't have the final edge today and they got theirs in back of the net.

"We're absolutely heartbroken. We gave everything. Unfortunately we just weren't there today."

It remains an outstanding achievement from the crop of players, who will continue to inspire the next generation of girls to play football.

It could be the final World Cup for veteran right-back Lucy Bronze, who was almost inconsolable.

Bronze did not make eye contact with Infantino and limp-looking handshake, with the exchanging coming after his bizarre, tone-deaf remarks about women's football.
