INTERVIEW: Laura Bassett looks forward to crucial Mexico clash

Posted on June 13, 2015 in Interviews and Profiles, Women's Football

England midfielder Laura Bassett says her team ‘need more goals’ as they prepare to take on Mexico this evening in a crucial Women’s World Cup Group F encounter.

England lost their first match 1-0 to one of the favourites in France and will need a win against the Latin American nation to ensure they have a better chance of qualifying for the second round.

Notts County midfielder Bassett picked up her landmark 50th cap for her country against France, picking up a black eye in the process after an elbow from Camille Abily.

But the experienced 31-year-old is optimistic ahead of the Mexico game and spoke about the upcoming game on Friday night.
