BARCELONA - England women’s forward Toni Duggan says her nation must match the achievements of three-times world champions the United States and “put trophies on the table” before they also ask for equal conditions as the men’s team.
“I can’t sit here and say we’re going to get to that stage, we need to be putting trophies on the table. Hopefully one day we’ll be like that, but fair play to the U.S. team because it is what they deserve.” She is also confident her side will be able to continue the feel-good factor Gareth Southgate’s men’s side provided back home with their run to the last four in Russia, which she said began with the women’s excellent 2015 World Cup campaign.
“We need people like Phil who have experienced winning trophies to share that experience with us,” she said. “The standards he sets are important to him, everyone’s enjoying life under him and the new style we play, hopefully we can see that in the summer.”Before the World Cup, Duggan can look forward to a thrilling end to the season with Barcelona, who are involved in a close-run title-tilt with Atletico Madrid and meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.
