England's Lionesses will roar in Australia in a matter of days.
They will try to add the FIFA Women's World Cup trophy to their Euro title and they will have plenty of Wearside reasons to feel confident.
Sunderland stars have done themselves proud on the world stage and ex-Lasses players Lucy Bronze, Lucy Staniforth and Jordan Nobbs will all be in the squad.
Then there's Jill Scott, Steph Houghton, Demi Stokes, and Carly Telford who have all worn the red and white.
It's less than 3 weeks to the World Cup. Haway the Lasses.
