00:00 You join me here outside the stadium in Brisbane where it is very much a case of the calm after the storm and what a storm it was.
00:09 England are through, that is the good news for the Lionesses but boy did they have to work hard for it against Nigeria.
00:15 Serena Beeman in the press conference yesterday was stressing how Nigeria would be no pushovers,
00:20 she made the point that they're far better than their ranking of 40th in the world and she was absolutely spot on.
00:25 They were fantastic really, unlucky to be going home, losing on penalties is a horrible way for anyone to lose but for Nigeria particularly,
00:32 given how well they played, it felt really cruel.
00:35 For England, I think the overall emotion is just relief for getting through, Lauren James sent off,
00:40 there'll be the fallout from that over the next coming days, she'll definitely be suspended for one game but it could be more than that
00:45 and they'll have to wait and try and work out a plan of what they can do to fix it.
00:48 England felt like they had stumbled upon this great new formation, the 3-4-1-2, Lauren James the 10
00:55 and now it's going to be back to the drawing board for Serena Beeman because she's got selection in the leagues again.
