Blackstenius is so good at running in behind. The way she took the first goal in Sweden's 4-1 win over Germany showed a real intelligence to keep onside. It was top-level forward play. She has been accused of missing clear-cut chances, but she executed that perfectly. That will have given her a real boost.

She reflected on triumphs past, hope of glory in the future but also the size of the task facing England right now. The teams have played each other twice since, both matches ending in draws with Sweden the unluckier.
