(Reuters) - England must first win the women's World Cup before they can start a discussion on equal pay with their male counterparts, Lionesses forward Fran Kirby said. "Ultimately we need to grow the women's game," Kirby told reporters on Friday. "We need to win the World Cup to have a leg to stand on in those situations. "They've won the World Cup and have some of the best players in the world in their team. England begin their World Cup campaign in Group D against Scotland on June 9 before taking on Argentina on June 14 and 2011 champions Japan five days later.
