Sarina Wiegman is one of the most obnoxious coaches in the womens game. No charisma, no personality and no tactical nous. This lucky chancer will be found out big time as her squad fail later this year. Treated Steph terribly. The poor standard of womens football and injuries to key opposition players has allowed this lucky coach to get away with it so far.
The idea that a team with Earps, Bronze, Bright, Carter and Zelem could be world champions……WTF. Wubben-Moy!!!

Wow that's harsh! I think she's brilliant. She's won back to back European championships with different coubtires and fostered a brilliant team spirit compared to under Neville.

The big calls she's made have all paid off. Be that choosing a relatively young Leah Williamson as captain, picking Earps over Roebuck and making some in game changes during the euros that raised a few eyebrows at the time.

Houghton missed out last season because of injuries ultimately and by all accounts (but understandably) took the news v badly. That combined with her age meant it was ways unlikely we'd see her in an England shirt again. That doesn't make Weigman a terrible person though.

Not a terrible person but a very very lucky coach….crucial injuries to both Spain and Germany bailed her out. Her first choice 11 were never good enough and she was bailed out by the poor quality opposition and the energy and pace of Toone and Russo. Daly and Bronze were very poor full backs who were constantly tested by the opposition and found out but were constantly bailed out by the centre backs and goalkeeper. To start Ellen White in every match was a joke.
This current squad is not up to winning the competition. Semi-finals if they’re lucky. Katie Zelem selected?? God help them if injuries to Walsh or Stanway happen.
interesting that so many Lionesses actually credit Phil Neville with improving their game and fostering a real team spirit.
If you really think that the majority of defenders that she has chosen for this squad are better than a now clearly fully fit Steph Houghton and that Millie Bright is a better captain (never been one I believe) then good luck to you.

The only thing I'll comment on is I don't think Millie Bright is good at all at football. A little trickery and pace and attackers leave her in the dust. In my opinion she made the team because she's mates with Rachel Daly. Maybe not many other options but she's not good.
 
She is only good when opposition wingers roast Bronze and Daly (who cannot defend) and whip in high crosses to diminutive strikers. Pretty much the last Euros. Popp of Germany would have revealed all of Millie Bright’s inadequacies but as we all know Popp was injured and missed the final…..lucky Sarina Wiegman. With her more talented centre back mate Leah Williamson missing who is going to pair up and direct this extremely limited footballer?? The genius Wiegman played Alex Greenwood as a substitute full back in the Euros!!
Houghton and Greenwood or Greenwood and Morgan or Houghton and Morgan is such an obvious set of combinations.
Wiegman will go with Bright and liabilities……Wubben-Moy, Jess Carter and Niamh Charles………….

Rose Lavelle will absolutely torch Bright for the 83 1/2 time if England plays the USA. I would not be surprised if Bright has nightmares about Rose Lavelle.

You're correct. Daly is a terrible defender. She can't do it. However, to me, that stems from not wanting to learn when she was young.

Defending is HARD. It takes work to get good at it and you have to be tough physically and mentally. So many who think of themselves as attackers don't ever care to learn.

I see it with U11 girls on my daughter's team. Oh, I'm an attacking midfielder. I don't need to learn to defend. Great young lady, keep giving away cheap fouls because you haven't a clue as to what you are doing.

The USA should easily win this World Cup……but are in transition. When England beat the USA the last time they played it was possibly the worst USA team ever. The NWSL is now in full swing and the quality of the USA players is obvious. Picking the best squad is the key for the coach…..but their attacking players have so much pace.
That England defence is poor…..midfield only marginally better…but attack is good. Daly was only ever played consistently as a full back by Wiegman…….huge mistake and WHY??
Rose Lavelle was one of the most disappointing signings by City. Entirely down to the totally useless Gareth Taylor.
