Yankey is one of six female centurions for the Three Lions.England manager Hope Powell has watched and managed Yankey over the course of her career and has awarded the Arsenal forward all but one of her 125 caps.And she added: "I would love to go to the Euro's and play and do well with this team, so hopefully that can happen.And as one of the most recognisable faces in the the women's game, Powell believes Yankey has done her country proud. It's great to be playing great opposition who came third at the Olympics and it's great to get this preparation before the Euros. We've another win under our belts and the consistency going into the Euro's. I think we're all really pleased.England completed back-to-back wins over Canada, with Sunday's 1-0 win coming after victory by the same scoreline at the Cyprus Cup in March , with Yankey scoring the winner in that competition.She's dedicated a lot of years to the sport and to the England team and has got her just rewards. She's done really well and as she's getting older, she's getting better in my opinion.The squad is currently preparing for Euro 2013 and Yankey believes they are on the right track ahead.
