Northern Ireland’s manager, Kenny Shiels, believes England should be deemed “failures” if they do not win Euro 2022. Shiels made the assessment after watching the hosts beat his side 5-0 to rubberstamp their place in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Shiels was proud of his team’s first appearance in a major tournament. However, after goals from Fran Kirby, Beth Mead, two from Alessia Russo and an own goal by Kelsie Burrows took England’s tally to 14 goals for and none against in three Group A games, he said the pressure was piling up on Sarina Wiegman’s side.
