‘A win will change everything’… World Cup victory for Spain would kick out sexism, say fans

Slicing sourdough on the stainless-steel counter of a London tapas restaurant, Ana Lorenzo hopes victory for La Roja will banish the sexism she says still stalks women's football in Spain.

It's so sexist in Spain compared to here. The attitude to women's football is many years behind. And despite doing so well, the women's team hasn't really gripped the media," she says, shaking her head.
