Fran Kirby says the record-breaking television viewing figure for England’s World Cup victory over Scotland on Sunday shows that those who dismiss the women’s game are “a minority”. England's win over Scotland in the #FIFAWWC was the UK's most watched women's football match of all time! “We’re not playing to try to show these people that people do care about women’s football, that’s not what we’re trying to do. “We’re trying to win a World Cup for our country, and I think everyone who supports football can get behind that. At the previous World Cup (Canada 2015) we lost our first game, against France (1-0), and we went on to win a bronze medal.
