BARCELONA (Reuters) - 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.
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." "I believe we can, we've got to two semi-finals at major tournaments, we've beat all the tough opponents. So it's possible but it's OK saying it, it's about doing it," Duggan said.
"There was a dip in the past few years but the buzz is back and I'm sure everyone will be behind us this summer." Barca have missed out on the last-four stage on three occasions and last year were beaten in the quarter-finals by eventual winners Olympique Lyonnais. Duggan has already made history with Barca, scoring in a 2-0 win at title rivals Atletico in front of 60,739 people at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium which smashed the world attendance record for a women's game.
