She suggested that the lack of screens to review the plays may have influenced the decisions.\n\nRegarding the alignment, captain Millie Bright was a substitute, with Nathalie Bj\u00f6rn and Naomi Girma taking her place in central defense.\n\nBompastor acknowledged Bright&#8217;s frustration with this decision, but highlighted her commitment to the team.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>She was frustrated, of course, and not happy with the decision, but that&#8217;s normal.
