There will be no Team GB in Paris next summer after a dramatic final round of UEFA Nations League games, but they didn't earn their spot on the pitch across six matches...
Just adding Rachel Rowe to the list of Welshies Sarina might have had to deliberate over, she was outstanding for Wales v Germany yesterday, my POTM personally.
"Yes, players will now gain what is probably a much-needed rest if you’re looking for a silver lining, but the reactions of those England players on the Hampden Park turf showed they are not interested in a rest."
its incredible that this point is being used so widely as more of a "actually, this is a good thing" by much of the media in the aftermath.
the sentence quoted above is as much as it should be given mouth service which i appreciate given the knots others are tying themselves into to all but call this a sly tactical move by the Lionesses to give themselves some rest before the Euros. absolute nonsense.
ask 32 year old Bronze if she would have preferred a summer break in Ibiza or a chance to go to one last Olympic games? next time the Guardian interview Mary Earps, i hope they ask her if she thinks - as the Guardian do - that theres a massive silver lining to missing out on perhaps her only chance to compete in an olympics at 31 years old.
we've seen current media who have credit in the bank in this space cop to "the Olympics has never been important to European nations anyway". like, give us all a break. Beth Mead just missed one world cup in her later prime and now will not have a chance at competing for a gold medal in France next summer as she returns to full fitness & smart people are celebrating that 18 players won't be playing six games next summer as some sort of win for players wellbeing. no time for that & i appreciate how little you allow that nonsense into this review.

Definitely more fun that watching someone win 15-0.
Long live The Arnold Clark Cup.
