Scotland boss Shelley Kerr has no doubt there is greater pressure on England than her side ahead of their Womens World Cup clash.The teams meet in Nice on Sunday in what will be Scotlands debut appearance in the competition.Asked if England would be under more pressure, Kerr said: 100 per cent.Scotland boss Shelley Kerr (right) and captain Rachel Corsie face the media (John Walton/PA).Its our first World Cup. Our journey so far has been fantastic and were playing against a formidable England team who are ranked third in the world.Phil Neville (the England manager) apparently the reason he took the job was to win the World Cup.Its going to be a tough task for us but its one were really looking forward to.I think theres no doubt that theres certainly more pressure on England than there is on Scotland.Its going to be a tough, tough match for us. But we are certainly looking to get a good result However, the pressure we have will be the pressure the players put themselves under.In terms of end results, of course were hoping to win the game. I think any footballer and any coach, you go into every game hoping to win it.Its going to be a tough, tough match for us. But we are certainly looking to get a good result.Its a tremendous honour and one Im immensely proud of."Congratulations to #SWNT Head Coach, @Kerr5Shelley, who has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.Read more: https://t.co/CzKDcE6PXM #OurGirlsOurGame pic.twitter.com/UVVEFcNFhY Scotland National Team (@ScotlandNT) June 8, 2019Kerr, who was awarded an MBE in the Queens Birthday Honours list, has a fully fit squad to choose from.She added: Ive been very honest and open about our target and that is to get out of the group stages.As much as its going to be difficult, thats certainly our target.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
