Phil Neville joined Drive on Thursday

Sometimes as you get closer to an event, people start to get a little bit nervous because of the expectation and people go, Actually, we might have a good team here and we might have a chance.We should be proud and we should attack this type of situation. Were going to a World Cup and were probably one of five or six teams who can win it.And you know what? Were not going to hide away from the fact that we are a good team. And yes, we have got an unbelievable opportunity.The Lionesses beat Japan 3-0 in their final round-robin game to lift the SheBelieves trophy after also beating Brazil and drawing with world champions USA.And it was the result against the Americans which showed Neville how far his team have come under his reign.2

A 3-0 victory over Japan sealed the SheBelieves Cup for the Lionesses

Twelve months ago, I was stood on the touchline against the USA and I thought we fell below them. We were deficient in certain areas.And twelve months further on weve gone to the same competition and improved in that space of time.Were in a brilliant place. Were confident, the momentum is with us, and weve got to take that into the World Cup.
