I'm also sharing this again because the narrative that the #Lionesses had a poor 2024 is reductive and ignores the competitive nature of European women's football:

The Lionesses in 2024: Nowhere near as bad as the critics would make you believe

Here's an alternative bunch of stats to counter the cherry-picked assertion that the #Lionesses have only won 2 of their last 6 games:
- only 2 losses in their last 10 games, which included France x2, Germany, the USA
- unbeaten in 4, since October last year

A goal for Norway made in Manchester, as Bizet sets up Terland.
Both were on the bench until 73 mins in. The goal was scored a mere 4 minutes later.

She also considers whether as fans we are too obsessed with the idea of young players being game changing.

Anyone else still recovering from last night? 😂
Rewatching that second half, as sloppy as we were, Portugal got away with a lot!

The #UWNL results today are quite interesting. No massive scorelines, 3 draws and the rest winning by 1 goal.
We talk a lot about development in the women's game - you only have to look at tonight to see it.

Also, people saying we need a new manager:
You do realise Sarina won the last 2 Euros, right?
She makes mistakes like every manager does, but there is no easy game anymore. You cannot expect us to win 10-0.
Today's second half was poor. But I want us to peak in July, not February.

Ok do we need crisis aversion talks?
England have a lot of positives to take from tonight. The first half was good, our attack looked solid (if needing to be more clinical).
I think Walsh missed having Georgia next to her - that is going to take time to work out.
Sloppy second half...

A few sloppy passes aside, best England have played in a while?
Let's not pretend Portugal are a roll over. Our last game against them was a draw and they haven't lost a game in ages.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed Luis Rubiales' appeal against FIFA on his 3-year suspension from any football related activity. The CAS Panel ruled that the sanction imposed is reasonable and proportional.

Not that I don't like Ian Wright and Karen Carney, but do ITV ever think of mixing it up a bit with their Lionesses coverage? 😂

People going on about England's form in 2024 in the press conference. Way over the top. We lost 2 games, against France and Germany.
That is less losses than Spain, Netherlands, France had. Yet the British media and fans seem to think everyone else is on fire and we have been awful?
