Enjoying Olympics key for Stoney

Team GB women's football captain Casey Stoney has urged her side to embrace the pressure of kicking off the Olympic Games on Wednesday.

Hope Powell's side meet New Zealand in their Group E opener at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as the Games get under way two days before Friday's opening ceremony.

The fixture's timing puts the spotlight firmly on the women's game and is a great opportunity to raise the sport's profile.
