ENGLAND COMING TO TOWN
England women's 10-match unbeaten run was ended by a 1-0 loss to Norway in La Manga.
Norway went ahead midway through the first half when Andrine Hegerberg sent a free-kick into the box for sister Ada to head past Siobhan Chamberlain from close range.
England's best chances against Norway fell to Fara Williams and Lucy Bronze, who saw efforts from the edge of the box go over the crossbar.
They are next in action on Tuesday when they face Sweden, the Olympic silver medallists from Rio, in Murcia.

FINAL SCORE
ENGLAND 0 SWEEDEN 0
Played at Pinatars ground
Siobhan Chamberlain saved a penalty as England ended their pre-season training camp in Spain with a battling goalless draw against Sweden.
The visitors had a goal disallowed in the first half when Stina Blackstenius' header was ruled out for offside.
Gilly Flaherty then tripped Lotta Schelin in the area but Chamberlain saved Kosovare Asllani's penalty.
England manager Mark Sampson had made 10 changes to the side that lost to Norway on Sunday.
The Lionesses looked sharp and enjoyed good passages of play but found clear-cut chances hard to come by against the Rio Olympics silver medallists.
England's best effort fell to captain on the night Jordan Nobbs, whose powerful shot from the edge of the area curled just wide of the post

England ladies take on Germany at 10.00 p.m. (Spanish) tonight in the final round of games in the She Believes Cup in the U.S.
Following their 1-0 win over the U.S. on Saturday, England need to win by more than the U.S.A beat France (played later at 1 a.m.)
If France win that game they take the plaudits. Germany, with a draw and a defeat, cannot now win the competition.

And England go in at half-time 0-1 down. Goal just been scored.
And that's that. Final score 0-1.
No trophy for England.

MAGPIES NO LONGER FLYING
Notts County Football Club has announced it will be folding the most successful women's club in the East Midlands.
Alan Hardy said he "reluctantly admitted defeat" in his bid to save Notts County Ladies, which currently plays in the FA Women's Super League, the top tier in the English women's football league system.
The Notts owner faced a near-£1m bill to keep the club afloat this season and had hoped to restructure debts inherited from the club's previous chairman Ray Trew.
Despite interest from two Premier League sides to take over the business, the FA would not sanction the transfer of licence to safeguard the future of the club under a new ownership structure.
