England Women World Cup squad announcement
England head coach Phil Neville on why they’ve chosen this unusual way to announce the squad.
“We wanted each player to have a special moment when their name was revealed, knowing they are going to a World Cup, as I never did as a player.
"It is the biggest thing in their lives and something they’ve dreamed about.
“We have to make these players visible, we want everybody around the world to buy in to what will be the biggest Women’s World Cup of all time.”

Anne Wall: Demi Stokes played really well in the FA Cup final. Beth England has been really good for Chelsea.
James Holden: I know she has been playing in the championship this season but Alex Greenwood is the best LB England have. Definitely deserves a spot.
TheGirlWithTheBird:If Birmingham's Aoife Mannion isn’t picked for Lionesses it will be shocking and frustrating.

Speaking earlier in the season, Toni Duggan said success at this summer's World Cup can improve crowd numbers in the Women's Super League.
"We've reached an unbelievable standard at the minute. Hopefully England can have some success in the summer and we can build from there."
"I've been at Barcelona two years now and to see the strides that have been made already is amazing," Duggan added.
"Hopefully it will be England next and they'll do the same for a league game."
