England pair have messaged clubmates throughout tournament ‘They’ve got world-class players but we’re looking forward to it’
Keira Walsh, Lucy Bronze and their Barcelona teammates have been messaging each other throughout the World Cup. The running joke? “We’ll see you in the final.” The draw and results have delivered the punchline: a mouthwatering tie between the European champions England and a technically gifted Spain.
“We message before each game saying good luck, and obviously the idea was hopefully we would see each other in the final – but we didn’t actually expect it to happen,” Walsh said.
