But for me, having the chance to win the penalty shootout, three or four times for Sweden, for me, you have to have a little bit more composure in them moments.
It looked like everyone was trying to score the perfect penalty whereas you look at Lucy Bronze just smash it down the middle. I felt the other girls looked like they hadn’t made their mind up on what they wanted to do.
(Sweden) Some of the decisions, sending an 18 year old to take a penalty when you’ve got senior players, the goalkeeper taking the fifth… it was difficult to see what the ideas were but obviously I’m happy about that.
