Carly Telford Explains Emotional Scenes With Fran Kirby After Making First World Cup Appearance

More than 12 years after being called up for the 2007 Women's World Cup, Carly Telford played her first match at a major tournament on Friday night – keeping a clean sheet in England's 1-0 win over Argentina in Le Havre.

Speaking after the match, Telford opened up on an emotional night for her and her Lionesses teammate Fran Kirby.

"I've been to three World Cups and some European Championships, so I was ready. I've waited for this moment a long time, when you've done the miles and the hours that I have...I couldn't have felt more prepared.
