The England coach should not have changed a winning formation that put key players out of position
I have incredible admiration for USA and the determination they possess as a unit of 23 players and staff to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Winning means everything to them. England came up against a better and more experienced team and now need to think about how they can make a difference to get to the same level.
The tournament has been hugely positive in terms of how we see the women’s game and there is no disgrace in losing to the holders and favourites in the semi-finals but England were, in the end, tactically deficient and fell short.
