ENGLAND will be determined to push their World Cup final heartbreak aside as they face Scotland in a thrilling Nations League opener TONIGHT!
The Lionesses reached their second major final in as many years under head coach Sarina Wiegman.
However, Olga Carmona's first-half strike ruined the Lionesses' summer as it was enough to see Spain clinch the World Cup in August.
Wiegman's side must dust themselves down and now re-channel their minds on what they hope to be a successful Nations League journey.
And England open up their campaign against British rivals Scotland – a fixture that they have dominated over the years.
