Le Tissier at full back is Wiegman’s version of Tuchel starting Jordan Henderson. Genuinely it would be more logical to play Beever-Jones there.
The way Sarina treats younger players is another major frustration. Why can’t she give Godfrey her debut tonight? Just ridiculous to leave her off the bench.
You’ve got Kendall and Beever-Jones on the bench and you are still giving the minutes to the likes of Kelly or playing Walsh until the very end. Why is Hemp still the on the pitch after playing the whole game in Spain? Don’t even know why I bother to question Sarina’s nonsense.
Quite a boring match. On to the playoffs we go. The first round will be one of these teams Hungary, Greece, Romania, Belarus, Kosovo, Lithuania, Croatia and Kazakhstan. The second round is the more challenging one - I hope we avoid having to play Switzerland, Portugal, Wales, Scotland, Belgium or Israel (Due to the politics for that one). But all those will matches where we favourites.
Lauren Hemp named #Lionesses Player of the Match, connected by @ee 👏 pic.twitter.com/ptMGBfaApk— Lionesses (@Lionesses) June 9, 2026 Wiegman on Freya Godfrey being left out of the squad: “That’s hard but at the same time I gave a clarity while I made a decision and that's the way it is right now. She’s come into our environment not so long ago and she’s learned about it and she where she needs to step up.”— Kathryn Batte (@KathrynBatte) June 9, 2026 Sarina Wiegman on whether she will think about future beyond 2027 during summer break: "Probably. First I’m going on holiday & then I’ll watch some football. We’re in conversations all the time. The future, I don’t know yet what that looks like."— Emma Sanders (@em_sandy) June 9, 2026

We have drawn Greece in the #FIFAWWC play-off draw 👊We will play them across two legs in October.

If we can’t get through this playoff then we don’t deserve to be anywhere near the World Cup.

Understand England goalkeeper Khiara Keating has turned down a contract extension offer at Manchester City and is uncertain about her future this summer with an eye to getting regular game time. No decision made yet. Other WSL clubs interested. ✍️👇 #mcfchttps://t.co/xWbosqlfyk— Emma Sanders (@em_sandy) June 22, 2026 This should come as no surprise but Liverpool one of those clubs interested. In the market for a GK with Jennifer Falk’s loan move not being turned into a permanent deal. Gareth Taylor admires Keating & worked with her at Man City. But other clubs also in the mix. #lfc #mcfc https://t.co/yTYQFTJ2kG— Emma Sanders (@em_sandy) June 22, 2026
On Khiara Keating’s contract, we’re told it actually runs out this month despite the City website saying 2027. That was an error and it means she is available on a free this summer. #mcfc https://t.co/yTYQFTJ2kG— Emma Sanders (@em_sandy) June 23, 2026
