    More from England manager Sarina Wiegman on ITV: "Of course there are areas to improve but you need big games. This is a game that you know you are going to win, you always have to work hard and can't take things for granted.

    "Next up we have a very good opponent in the USA so we'll have to do well in all the areas, in transition, in defence to be successful."

    Former England striker Ian Wright, speaking on ITV: "What winning the Euros does is show them that they can take the final step. That's the main thing.

    "If you get to that many semi-finals and don't do it, you will start to question yourself. You saw how close we came in a couple of those games, especially in the final against Germany but we got over the line.

    "Once you've done that, you believe that you can do it again. It's a mindset."

    Former England midfielder Karen Carney, speaking on ITV: "After the semi-final in 2019, the US kind of said to our team, 'we know you're coming for us.' Now that England have won the Euros, they're definitely coming for them.

    "This is a big barometer. How close are we? How good are we? European champions up against world champions. It's a great test for Sarina and the squad."

    England manager Sarina Wiegman, speaking to ITV: "The difference between England and Luxembourg is so big that you have to make the game yourself with the tempo.

    "But I thought we played well, we had some great goals with some things we want to do as a team like one-touch and cut backs. It was nice to see and I hope the people enjoyed it, too.

    "It is hard in these games to keep the tempo up so towards the end we slowed up but we managed to get the two goals in the 92nd minute. Overall, over the whole qualification we've done really well."

    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes, speaking on ITV: "What a game [England v USA], first of all.

    "It's the sort of game that would have been a shoo-in for the United States over the years but for them to face England, not just as Europeans champions but playing well and being in season, I think it'll be a cracker of a game."

    England forward Beth England, speaking on ITV: "We knew after a big summer, we had to show up. We did well against Austria and we just wanted to continue that good form. Being clinical in front of goal was the most important thing and we did that.

    "I'm absolutely buzzing. It's a team sport and I could not be prouder to be part of this team so to be able to get two at the end and make it 10, I'm really happy.

    On the battle for the number nine spot: "It was always going to be tough, Ellen White led the line for a number of years tremendously and Alessia Russo, I can't praise her enough for what she did in the Euros. I'm so proud of her.

    "I know it's tough but we're here together and we fight for each other while we're on the pitch."
