Sarina Wiegman was insistent after England's Finalissima penalty drama against Brazil that their second half performance wasn't a "wake-up call."
But those watching on in the pouring rain as the Lionesses were beaten 2-0 by Australia just five days later, would struggle to describe the game as anything else. The hosts were blunt in attack, sloppy in possession and lost to a better team.
At full-time both the team and Wiegman looked a little lost, unsure how to react to a defeat, something they hadn't experienced for two years and such a dour display. There was no Sweet Caroline, no lap of honour, nothing for the home support in the 14,489 crowd to enjoy.
