The Women’s Nations League is a qualification route for the Olympics and the Lionesses represent Team GB. They need to top the group and make it to the final, or at least finish third overall and hope France make the final, to claim a sport at Paris 2024.
England’s women beat the Netherlands 3-2 on Friday, but they didn’t win by the required two-goal margin to lead Group A1. It means Sarina Wiegman’s side must beat Scotland and hope that the Netherlands do not beat Belgium.
The Lionesses put in a terrible first-half performance at Wembley. They did eventually display the kind of style that won the Euros and got to a World Cup final in the second 45. Lauren James remains a constant threat and there is plenty of goalscoring power elsewhere in the team from the likes of Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone.
Bizarrely, there will be some Scots hoping for an England win as players such as Erin Cuthbert and Martha Thomas might be in the Team GB squad. Don’t expect them to go easy though. We’re all set for a rollercoaster evening with eyes on scores elsewhere too.
