On August 16th, the heated 2023 Women's World Cup semi-final saw England come back to beat hosts Australia 3-1 to surge ahead and lock up a place in the final, where they will face Spain's women's football team in the title race.
After the game, the outstanding Russo was overwhelmed with emotion: "This is an incredible victory. We had dreamed of reaching the semi-finals and when the moment finally came, my heart was full of anticipation. Australia's goal ignited a comeback, but Shipp's goal solidified the game, and the 3-1 scoreline allowed us to keep our composure until the end of the game. I can't tell you the joy of celebrating the victory, standing side by side with family and friends.
"Beat Spain in the final? Why not? Of course, challenging Spain will be more daunting. But every game is at an all-time high and we have to give it everything we've got. Winning the World Cup has been a dream of ours since we were young, and now that it's come true, everyone is passionate about it, and the next thing we need to do is stay healthy."
The highly anticipated final of the Women's World Cup will be played on August 20 at 18:00 GMT.
