vivianne miedema with her 50th goal in the wsl! 50 goals in 50 games! once i hang up my boots, i think these are all moments that you'll really look back on and can be proud of as a player. to be honest, it was a bit disappointing because i didn't even get a wee medal or cup or anything from it. i mean, obviously, as i said, i felt really good at the olympics. i think everything i touched just went in. i was really confident and it was just a shame that, as a team, we obviously went out on penalties against the usa. first of all, i genuinely didn't think it was on because there was no beeping light or anything on it, so i was like, "let's just have a look." then i thought i turned it on, which obviously... ..didn't do anything. and i've actually looked it back now, but i wish i could take it back. i think before that, you just continuously were in the cycle that you have to play games, have to play football, and i think once it falls away, then you realise what you miss. coming back and has been tough, not being able to see the family, not being able to
