"What I've taken is a baseline,' she said. "There's one thing to be training and doing what we're doing and players executing what we're asking of them in a training session, and it's another to do it in a match and in a match with that context behind it.
"So I think I have a good baseline now to understand where we're at, and some areas of work in order for us to progress to where we want to be.'
Andreatta added, "I think you could tell by the fans, there was a frustration, but I think the key part that I take from that is that we had players that took on the information at half-time and made some adjustments to what we were doing and trying to do, and they did that well.

So while it was frustrating not to get some reward from, that impact and those changes, I know where we are now, and it's given me some ideas, moving forward.'
Scotland captain Rachel Corsie, who this week announced she will retire from international football following the meeting with the Netherlands, came on in the second half of the match to win her 155th cap for her country.

Andreatta is confident the Aston Villa player will be fully focused on the team performance in midweek.
'I'm sure there would have been a lot of emotion for her having friends and family there for sure,' she said. 'But what I know about Rachel is she's a real team person and she'll be more hurt for the team that we didn't get the result that we all want.
'I'm sure she'll quickly refocus as the leader and professional that she is and help the team to bounce back because that's what we need to do now.'

Julie Abbot, from Aston Villa Women's Fan Club, said there was such a "vibe" in the stadium she couldn't put into words how she felt, adding: "It was one of those where the match was going to be decided on a piece of bad luck or outstanding skill and the longer it went on, the longer I thought 'this is ours tonight, it's here for the taking'."She said Hampton came in after Mary Earps announced her shock retirement earlier this year, and had proven herself worthy, adding: "To see her so happy and the whole team is just amazing – just amazing for football and amazing for English football and promoting the game in this country." Hampton grew up in Warwickshire, and attended Erasmus Darwin Academy in Burntwood, her home village of Studley, pub landlord Daz White has screened all the games at The Swan. He said everyone always believed England could win, even when they were one goal down."There was always confidence," he said. "You couldn't move in the pub, it was absolutely heaving." Sian Osmond, assistant manager at Rugby Borough Women, said she hoped England's win would continue to drive interest in women's football in this country. "Hopefully, it inspires the next generation as well, because seeing is believing," she aged 13, an aspiring goalkeeper from Coundon, near Coventry, said: "This definitely shows how women are pretty much as good as the men, like this is inspiration for the next generation."The Rugby Town player said she had her "fingers crossed" she might one day play at a national level herself.

Hannah Hampton was told she would never play football due to a serious eye condi
Hannah Hampton produced more penalty saving heroics to inspire England's historic win over Spain. After her dramatic and decisive contributions in the quarter final win over Sweden, the Chelsea No.1 was back in the spotlight after the Lionesses battled over the course of 120 minutes to hold favourites Spain to a 1-1 draw in Basel. The 24-year-old, who usurped Mary Earps prior to the tournament, saved two more spot kicks in a dramatic shootout that was finally settled by Chloe Kelly's typically emphatic effort from the spot. Hampton will now be catapulted to national fame as a result of her astonishing agility and composure under pressure, but her story is a far from straightforward one. The former Aston Villa and Birmingham star suffers with an eye condition called strabismus which she was diagnosed with since birth that could have ended her involvement in the sport before it even started. 'I was told from a young age that I couldn't play football, that it wouldn't be a profession I could pursue. But here I am,' she told the BBC prior to the win over Sweden. Back in 2021 she told ex-England goalkeeper Ben Foster's Fozcast podcast: 'When pouring a glass of water, I'll miss the glass if I'm not holding it. 'The girls do it to me all the time at training: 'Can you make me a cup of tea?' And hold the cup, saying, 'Can I have some milk, please?'. 'I'll just spill it on their shoes and then they moan at me. 'Well, it's your own fault, isn't it?'' Hampton's lack of depth perception represents an issue she has clearly overcome, although she revealed the shrewd advice of Sarina Wiegman played a part in boosting her confidence against Spain prior to penalties. 'This is England!' Hampton revealed Wiegman said. 'I think this is our moment. 'We've dug in for the 120 minutes, done what we've needed to do to keep Spain out. It was just one kick and that was it, we did that this time. More Trending 'Better pens than the last time, let's be honest!' She added: 'This team's just unbelievable, incredible. We've shown throughout this tournament we can come back when we go a goal down. 'We've got that grit, we've got English blood in us, we never say die and we just keep going and we did that again today.'
