The Lionesses returned home and vowed to come back stronger.
We created history but we wanted more. So much more. This tournament has brought some unbelievable highs but ultimately we fell just short. Thank you so much for the support back home and in Australia we felt you. It’ll hurt for a while but we’ll come back even stronger. Proud🤍 pic.twitter.com/tSO5gx7K99
