Ella Toone, England's midfielder, expects a physical game against Australia, following their World Cup semi-final defeat last year. The Australian team has made several changes since then, and Toone is aware of many of the opponents from their time in the Women's Super League.
For Toone, this match feels like "revenge" after England beat Australia in the 2023 World Cup semi-final. The stakes are high as both teams have moved on with new squads and coaching staff. The team has made some significant changes to its squad due to injury, but they've also got a boost with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton returning from her minor elbow injury.
Toone says that when England plays Brazil, who had 10 players on the field for almost 70 minutes, it's a challenging game. Toone expects Australia to play physically and put up a strong fight, making every game feel like a "revenge" match.

! I think Ella Toone's right on the money, Australia's gonna come out swinging 
️. They've made some big changes since last year's World Cup and they're not gonna go down without a fight 
. It's like that old saying, you can't dwell on past losses, so England needs to be ready for anything 
. Plus, with Hannah Hampton back in the mix, our goalkeeping situation is looking solid 
. Toone might feel some "revenge" vibes, but let's not forget this one's all about execution 
... bring it on! 
she's got some serious beef with the Aussie team after that World Cup semi-final loss last year 
I mean, you can tell from her words, it's not just about winning or losing, it's personal now. And honestly, I think she's right to feel that way - the Aussies have made some big changes since then and they'll be looking to take down the English team with everything they've got 
! Ella Toone is totally right that the stakes are high since both teams have made so many changes. but you know what's even better? the opportunity to see some new faces and strategies on the field 
. and yay for Hannah Hampton coming back from her injury - that's like a breath of fresh air 
! it's gonna be such an intense game, i love how Toone is framing it as "revenge" though... but honestly, it feels more like a chance to prove themselves all over again 
. can't wait to watch this one go down! 
The hype around this match is probably just because they're both moving on to the final and the stakes are high. Let's see how Australia performs without any of their key players from last year... 
. But, like, they've made some changes since then, right? And Hannah Hampton's back from injury which is awesome 
?
I'm so hyped for this match!! Ella Toone is bringing that fire 
! Australia is gonna come at us hard, but our squad has been working hard and we got some new blood coming in 
. I love how Toone is talking about revenge, it's like she's fueled by the Aussie girls' tears 
. Our goalkeeping situation was a mess after Hampton went down, but now she's back and that changes everything 
, can't wait to see how it all goes down! 
... I mean, it's only natural after that tough loss last year 
. But what really gets me is how much the Aussies have changed since then 
. Like, they're not just gonna roll over this time 
. And with Hampton back in goal, England's got a solid chance 
... still, gotta give it to Toone for being all hyped up about revenge 
but also i get it, every game feels like that when there's so much on the line... and bradley chukwelu is out with an injury so england has to step up... does anyone know how hampton's elbow injury affects her game tho? isnt she supposed to be a pretty solid goalie 
Ella Toone is bringing that fire 
, including Hannah Hampton back from injury 
Hopefully, their squad being a bit depleted won't be too detrimental in the big games.
The fact that she's expecting a physical game from Australia is already having me hyped for some intense footy action. 
. I'm more worried about my fantasy football team, did anyone think Ella Toone would be back from injury so soon? 
. And I love how she's calling out their physical game - Australia's definitely not holding back! It'll be a tough match, but I'm all about Ella's determination
