The Cyprus Cup has also allowed Signeul to fully identify the depth of talent she possesses within her squad. All 21 players in the Scotland squad got game time during the tournament. The quality of player at the coach’s disposal has also been one of the major positives from the tournament, Brown believes. She said: “The Cyprus Cup this year has given us the luxury of being able to give these players chances. The tournament gives opportunities to players, and the depth of our squad has meant that we can rotate players throughout the four tournament games.” Scotland won two and lost two of their four matches in Cyprus, with the victories coming in the final matches against Korea Republic and the Netherlands and Brown, who’s club side play Frankfurt in the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals at the end of the month, feels that these wins were crucial in reflecting the progress the squad has made. Brown said: “The fact that we have ended the tournament well is crucial for momentum going into the EURO 2017 qualifiers. The entire tournament has been extremely positive, but it is important that we got those two wins at the end to reflect our progress. “We’ve learnt lessons from the defeats against Canada and Italy, but we definitely have a lot to look forward to.”
