Ella Toone describes England's upcoming friendly match against Australia as a 'revenge' game for the team. The midfielder admits that the two teams last met at the 2023 Women's World Cup, where England defeated Australia in the semi-final. Toone says it will feel like revenge for both sides when they face off again in Pride Park on Tuesday.
Toone is expecting a physical game from her teammates as England look to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat by Brazil last weekend. The match against Brazil was a close one, with the Lionesses trailing at one point before fighting back to win. However, Toone believes that her team will be able to put in a strong performance despite the absence of key players due to injury.
Steph Catley, Australia's defender, admitted that their defeat to England in the 2023 World Cup was the "most heartbreaking" of her career. The match saw several Australia players concede red cards and ultimately cost the team the game.
England manager Sarina Wiegman says that both teams have moved on since the 2023 World Cup, with changes made to both squads. Wiegman is confident in her team's ability to start strongly despite their slow start against Brazil last weekend.
The match against Australia will be played in front of a sell-out crowd at Pride Park Stadium, with England looking to prove themselves once again after their impressive victory over Switzerland in the 2025 Euro tournament.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE THESE TWO TEAMS PLAYED EACH OTHER AND EVERYONE'S SO HYPED FOR THIS MATCH!!! 
ELLA TOONE'S REVENGE GAME THING IS PRETTY COOL, I GUESS IT'S ONLY FAIR AFTER THAT BLOWOUT WIN OVER AUSTRALIA LAST YEAR 
BUT SERENA WIEGMAN SAYS THEY'VE MOVED ON AND MADE SOME CHANGES SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PANS OUT!!! 
! Toone's expecting a physical game from her teammates and I gotta agree, with Australia coming for revenge after that heartbreaking loss in the 2023 World Cup 
. But England has proven they're a force to be reckoned with, especially after that epic comeback against Brazil last weekend 
. Sarina Wiegman's squad has made some changes since then, so I'm curious to see how it all shakes out 
. Australia's Catley is looking for redemption too, but let's be real, England's been on fire this season 
! Bring it on Tuesday!

Toone is low-key killing me with her "revenge" vibe lol. I mean, its true tho, both teams are gonna be hungry for a win. I've been following Australia's squad and Catley seems like such an underrated player - she got ROASTED in the 2023 World Cup 
. And can we talk about how proud England is looking with that new squad? Wiegman is doing something right! 
also, Pride Park stadium is gonna be ELECTRIC! who's your money on tho? 
and now they're facing off again, which is just gonna make things worse for them. And England is expecting a physical game from their teammates after getting taken down by Brazil last weekend... poor thing 
. Still, I gotta say, Pride Park Stadium is gonna be PUMPED UP 
๏ธ
and it's gonna be intense!
So I think it's gonna be a wild one on Tuesday 
! Both teams are gonna bring their A-game and make it feel like that epic semi-final match from the 2023 World Cup all over again 
. Toone's got that right, it's definitely about revenge for both sides, but I'm rooting for England to take it 
. The crowd at Pride Park is gonna be electric though! Can't wait to see which team will come out on top 
. plus, who doesn't want to see a sell-out crowd at pride park?! the energy's gonna be electric 
, especially with England bouncing back from that tough loss against Brazil 
. Catley's words are pretty raw 
, but let's hope she and her team can put the past behind them 
and I'm expecting England to come out strong 
! 
. And can you believe Australia is already talking about how much they're hurting from that loss? 
. But both teams have moved on now, so let's see how it all plays out at Pride Park! The energy's gonna be electric with a sell-out crowd and all - can't wait to see what these Lionesses are capable of! 
. england's all like 'we wanna prove ourselves' and australia's all like 'hey, remember that time you beat us in the WW cup?' 
. team england vs australia is always a thrill ride, and i'm here for it 
gotta say i'm hyped for this one lol england's squad is looking solid despite some injuries and stuff. tho its crazy how a game that felt like revenge back in 23 can still have such an impact today 
steph catley said her loss was the most heartbreaking of her career? that's just savage 
. Pride Park Stadium is gonna be electric, I guess, but at the end of the day, it's just another friendly match... we'll see how long that "revenge" lasts 
And Catley's comment is so relatable - I bet she's been replaying that game over and over in her head 
This is gonna be so intense! Both teams are super motivated for this game and I can already imagine the energy in the stadium
