England were minutes away from exiting Euro 2022 before a dramatic turnaround at The Amex
progress. Their tournament history has been pockmarked by misfortune, but luck was a long way down the list of defining factors as they were outplayed by Spain, if not quite from start to finish than for long enough to choke those in white who found their breath in the last 10 minutes and then turned the screw with their majestic substitutes in extra-time.
Here England knew that they could not simply sit off and allow Spain to dominate the ball. They were the hosts, they had another bumper crowd in to watch them and they were intent on making a statement that they merited taking over Spain’s mantle as tournament favourites partway through last week. And it spooked England. They struggled to make connections in midfield, fearing the pressure from behind and rushing first touches. They were frequently pushed onto their weaker foot by intelligent opponents. They were sucked towards the ball and then passed around. Sarina Wiegman’s team were not humbled, but they were certainly hurried. Keira Walsh, supreme in her first three matches, was swamped and flailing in the first half.
