England Women's manager Sarina Wiegman has told Sky Sports why she is optimistic about the Lionesses' Euro 2022 hopes, how good she believes the WSL has become and why maternity pay is long overdue.
England have won all six games since Wiegman took the reins in September, scoring 53 goals in the process, but they have faced little competition of the kind they will encounter when they host the European Championships this summer.
The upcoming Arnold Clark Cup, where the Lionesses will face Spain, Germany and Canada in three games at the Riverside, Carrow Road and Molineux, will also provide a tough test.
Wiegman told Sky Sports she believes her squad are well on the road to being ready for the finals - but this month's trio of games will go a long way to determining just how close.
"I think the England team is pretty far [prepared]," she said. "We started in September, I think we had three very good camps and very good games. And now we need the tournament in February in which we play Canada, Spain and Germany. Those are top-level teams. And then we know where we are.
