"I really have to say I love women's football, it's outstanding. The quality of the tournament is insane. England is doing exceptionally well. I saw three games of Germany too, they've been doing really well as well. It's a really good final - two intense teams facing each other. As much as I love England, my heart is with the German side. At a sold out Wembley with an English crowd, it will be a massive challenge for Germany. England are slight favourites playing at home, but Germany has a chance. Most important is the face women's football showed, it's a fantastic game. Women's football, over the last few years, exploded in their development. It's tactically and technically on an incredibly high level. The intensity of the games - physically it's really, really good and I love watching it. Congratulations to all the teams that were a part of it because it is a commercial for football, not only women's football."
