Saturday’s friendly match between the England Lionesses and the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) is much anticipated for a number of reasons, but it holds extra significance for Emma Hayes.

The friendly, which will see the top two sides in the FIFA women’s rankings face off, is expected to have more than 83,000 in attendance at Wembley.

When it comes to the privilege of being spoiled with success, few can claim it as much as the fans of the USWNT. With four World Cup victories and five Olympic gold medals under their belt, anything short of triumph is often deemed a failure or letdown.
