Your @teamsnap #SKFANCARD Player of the Match v Germany was STEPH HOUGHTON.

Steph got better and better throughout the tournament and put in a commanding display at the heart of the defence, as well as often acting as an important element in the team’s offensive threat too.  She picked up 36% of the vote. Lucy Bronze continued her good form to collect 16% and Laura Bassett was just behind her with 15%.
