Englandâs heaviest defeat for decades does not signal the end for Sarina Wiegmanâs European champions It was a tough night for Sarina Wiegman and her charges at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
Englandâs biggest loss since a 6-2 defeat by Germany in the Euro 2009 final and their first loss in a qualifier since 2002 shattered their ambition of securing top spot in their 2027 World Cup group and automatic qualification for the finals in Brazil.
The 4-0 scoreline was bruising, but the performance against Spain even more so and there was no sugar-coating by Wiegman. Her England side âdidnât play good enoughâ, âcouldnât get into another gearâ and âhardly got into the 18 yard boxâ.
