England boss Sarina Wiegman said she was "very proud" of the Lionesses after they beat Austria 2-0 on Saturday (3 September) to secure their place at the World Cup.
"It looks so easy but it was pretty hard," the Dutch football manager said, adding it's a "relief" for the team to qualify.
Wiegman added: "We had some parts where we weren't tight enough and made some mistakes, and they created some chances, but still, 2-0 is 2-0.
The Lionesses nabbed the top spot in Group D in next summer’s showpiece in Australia and New Zealand.
