Zurich – So, what were you worried about? England Were fantastic because they were swept away Netherlands 4-0 In Zurich, four days after being very poor in his defeat France But Euro 2025If there were any veins in the England camp, they hid them well against Dutch as the lioness once again proved that when her back is against the wall, they can distribute.
It was a major performance, of course his best performance when it matters since his victory Australia In 2023 Women’s World CupEverything was clicked, and Sarina Wiegman’s strategic Twixes paid dividends.
England focused on improving the quality of his death, and eradicating errors. They moved Lauren James Right wing at the cost of Beth Mead And brought me Ella Tone, Jessica Carter Was switched to the center-peet and Alex Greenwood For left-back. England looked very strong with the formation, and from there, they know this team that this team has. James was outstanding, the match in the palm of his hand, who was playing in his best, but it is worth mentioning the player’s incredible workplace. Alesia RussoControl of Keira walshHow else Georgia Stanway And Carter performed.
They are talking about 2015 this week. Lucy bronze Reminded the team that they lost their opening match of the Women’s World Cup a decade ago and still managed to reach the semi -finals, where they lost by their goals a late. JapanBut the reality is that, this match was built on the foundation founded by Wiegman, which has taken this team to more heights. It was a demonstration of controlled anger and urgency. So now with this impressive win under his belt, the true tremors of the France match can be compiled on such levels as unwanted – this was not a sign of imminent decline and destruction.
Wiegman and England – Defending European Champion, let’s not forget – sent a reminder to the rest of the tournament that they are still contenders.
England Under Wiegman has developed a habit of responding to poor performance with a great response in the next match. Exhibit A: He lost to the same opponents as last week after winning 2–1 against France in St.-Katten in June 2024. Exhibit B: 1-0 win Spain In February, he prepared 1-1 after a week PortugalAnd now this.
The squad’s mood suggested that it could come; It was rare to see a player clearly hack as a stanway “Fed up with talking” About their prediction. But after a poor performance from her vs France, she had to return those words. Like the rest of his colleagues, he did this.
So for some time, premature exit can be interrogated, this team is clearly planning to stay here for a while.
England could score more than four. Russo and both Lauren Ganja In the first half, march on your markers but saw the header wide. As Ruso said on the eve of the match, they have many players in this team who can change the match in an eye. And it also includes his goalkeeper Hannah Hampton,
Spotlight Hampton was coming to the tournament after England’s number 1 and subsequent retirement. Mary earpsFor so long, EarPs was one of the faces of this team, the group’s unwavering confidence symbol. Hampton is not like earps, but we saw enough to show in this match why Wiegman’s trust is kept so well. His passing limit is extraordinary and it was his near which cut the Dutch defense for the first of England.
The Russo ran on the through-ball, cutting the ball back into James, which then moved the ball to his left leg and turned it to the top corner. Stanway responded to his criticism with a great shot on half a time stroke. Work done.
The Netherlands made three changes in the brake but made it very low to reduce England’s tide. While some of the lioness passed the back of the lioness, they were given the reason for catching their breath one or two times, in all, accuracy was seen against France till now. It was like seeing two different teams.
It was not surprising to see England adding two more (yet after another controversial offside call, where Russo’s target was rejected Lih Williamson Close). James scored his second score in the 60th minute, when Tone was blocked a shot, and then Tone added his own mark to the match after Russo’s incredible work rate and Endeavor helped him to T seven minutes later. Work done.
By the end of the match, that old, familiar rendering of “Sweet, Caroline” came out of them behind the target of Hampton. It was a 2022 song, and while England is not yet as a favorite of the tournament at those levels or at the bracket, the victory has given the hope of The Lynisis. they face Wales On Saturday, knowing about a win, he will be booked in a knockout and from there, who knows? Wiegman is the best coach in female football for one reason, and she must be quietly missing it.
