This is a much better start than Belgium. They remember the goalkeeper’s goalkeeper Lisa Lichfus, thanks to some of the initial work, while Tassa Velart shows good in the movement as she goes a little deeper.

Excellent pressure from Aggie Beever-Jones gets the ball in a good area for England, but Winger Left and Nikita Paris are completely unable to connect.

Well, after exposure to limited resistance on Friday, it will concentrate the English mind. Belgium seemed to be broken beyond them, there – working there for Sarina Wigman.

What a start for Belgium! The clinical end of Tessa Wullart!

Next to and back between goals! Niamh Charles is very deeply caught because the rest of the ENGLNAD rear line tries to play offside and allow the skipper to be released on the right. Hannah closes the angle, but Wullart is good enough to make an end, a friendly kiss in the post that gives the hosts the fastest start.

Some of the neat games on the left of England work well with Jess Park and Nickel Charles, but Grace Clinton is not completely a combination that can use a forward pass.

Nikita Paris is through the center of England, which is supported by Beth Mead and Aggi Baver-Jones at the forefront. As we anticipated, three or five for the hosts appear again.

In the Levon era, players appear, the temperature decreases slightly and a proper population is in place. The last overseas defeat in Dan Draif came here – those who have traveled to Flander (and there are a few of them) hope not to be repeated.

Now afterwards – a beautiful statement by Sarina Wigman before starting work, confirming what her recent choices have shown: Hannah Hemepton is now England No. 1

“At this moment, he is a little ahead [of Mary Earps,]Wigman tells ITV. “We have two goalkeepers worldwide and a group of four goalkeepers are really good, so it’s a difficult choice. But now, Hannah is a little ahead.”

One of the great winners of the British trip to Bristol was Beth Mead, perhaps with the emergence of other talents, but it gives a timely reminder of his quality on the right. He may be more important tonight in a front line than Elsia Rousseau and Loren James – though Nikita Paris has a lot of experience.
