Gone are the days when this tournament took place and attracted a paragraph or two in the media with no actual tv coverage to call owt .
Many of the Lionesses are now household names and that comes with different things attached to it and not always good either .
Let's just say it was a slow start and the lionesses need to improve if they are going to lift the world cup .
