"They are history-makers again, the third ever England team to get to a semi-final," said Sampson.
"We now join the 1966 and the 1990 club, and I'm very proud of the whole group."
Yeah, this is probably why England never win anything. When Germany get to a semi-final the supporters complain. When England get to a semi-final the side is hailed as historic and goes down into the history books. And apparently getting to the semi-final of a women's world cup equals winning the men's world cup. I don't think the women's game is ever going to be taken that seriously until people in the women's game stop wanting to compare it at every turn to men's football.
It does stink a bit of "we've achieved our goal", you don't want that kind of mentality with 2 games left between you and the Cup.
