The England women’s national team took on an important behind-closed-doors match against Canada. With the highly anticipated FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner, these games play a pivotal role in determining the final starting line-up for the tournament.
Head coach Sarina Wiegman is leaving no stone unturned in her quest to select the best possible XI for the World Cup. She acknowledges that the team is progressing closer to identifying the starting line-up: “We’re getting closer, that’s clear. But we’re still trying out some things. In some positions, I don’t know what the starting line-up will be. There’s still healthy competition going on within the squad.”
These challenging fixtures against Canada and today’s game will provide valuable insights for Wiegman and her coaching staff in making their final decisions. The team’s performance and individual player contributions during these matches will undoubtedly shape the starting XI. However, Wiegman also emphasizes that the subsequent game could witness a tactical alteration or a different player stepping onto the field, given the constantly evolving dynamics of the squad.
