“That hasn’t happened yet,” England coach Sarina Wiegman said with understatement. The Netherlands almost brought England to their knees at Wembley but turned a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 win in the second half.
Tuesday is D-Day when the Netherlands host Belgium in Tilburg and England visit Scotland in Glasgow. If both the Netherlands and England win, goal difference will be decisive, which is still +4 to +1 in the Netherlands’ favour.
Only the winner of the group will advance to the semi-finals, where tickets to the Olympic Games can be purchased. Now Scotland can theoretically help neighbors England by conceding as many goals as possible. Scotland’s best players can also help themselves because England need to get England tickets to Paris.
Wiegman already knows: “Thou shalt not give anything away.” “Scotland will do everything to ensure a good result.”
“The Netherlands had a hard time”
A 4-2 win against the Netherlands at Wembley Stadium was still in the air but it didn’t happen. This is why Dutch National Team Coach Andries Jonker felt a visible sense of relief after the match. “I can imagine it,” Wiegman said. “The Netherlands has had a hard time. “We were threatening to finish fourth.”
Check out the game’s synopsis here:
After the match, which the Netherlands won 2-1 in Utrecht, England left the Netherlands behind 4-2 with mutual results. “All in all, I’m happy with 3-2,” Wiegman said. “When you go down 2-0 you have to be happy about it.”
Wiegman is not giving up hope of qualifying for the Olympics. “You should always have hope. “We saw this once again today.”
