A clearly irritated Sarina Wiegman gives her verdict to ITV. “They scored three goals and we scored two ... that’s the simple [answer] … we should have been tighter on the ball … we created lots of chances, we still dominated the game totally … but at moments we lost the ball … we knew they were so dangerous … they were gone on the counter attack … it was really us that made it so hard … they played tough … they played compact … as soon as they won the ball they played on the counter … that’s something we really have to get out of our game … we have to do better in the final third … we were sloppy on the ball and they were ready for that … we have to be tight … we have to win with more than one goal against the Netherlands at Wembley … then we have to win another game too because Belgium is in a good place too … we know we have work to do … we have put ourselves in a hard position at the moment.”

Wiegman also reports that Alex Greenwood is “alright and walking”, such welcome news given how scary her injury looked when she was carried off in a neck brace.
