England, a selection of changes

he England team It has been known for running in the past eurocupSince then, coach Sarina Wiegmann has lined up the same eleven in the six games that led her to the final victory. Without exception, without differences. A year later, four of the 11 downed starters—three of them forwards—were penalized for their injuries. Absences that reduce euphoria and partially nominate professionals; A turn for the worse in a team that tomorrow will open its mouth against Haiti and take the cotton test against Denmark and China. But England, Megaphone and Jiminy Cricket have also made the best changes.

It turns out that After winning the European Cup at Wembley – 2 to 1 against Germany –From the ensuing cheers and celebrations, the team sent an email to candidate and incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as well as to his predecessor Liz Truss. A cry for help was devised by defender Lute Woopen Moi, a social awareness message, a statement signed by all England players and spoken by captain Leah Williamson expressing their concern to leave a legacy after their victory. They asked that all girls be able to play football in schools and not repeat the mistakes they made in their childhood. “We are asking you and your government to ensure that all girls get at least two hours a week of physical education. Not only must we show football to all girls, but we must also invest in and support physical education teachers.” More than anything else, because the graphs indicated that only 63% of girls could play soccer in physical education classes.

And after seven months, and after many hours of dialogue between the players, the Football Association and government institutions, an agreement was reached, to the point where the government announced a huge investment in school sports and extracurricular activities. In figures, nearly 700 million euros so that all girls in the country receive at least two hours of physical education per week to ensure equal access to all sports, including football, and to encourage women’s sports. “The magic of winning Euros can live on with a legacy that has the potential to change the future of women’s football and positively impact society,” said Mark Bullingham, chief executive of the FA.

A measure hailed by the de-masculine society, women were until 1971 banned from playing football on the premises of FA clubs. The decision was approved by the Corporation in 1921 because, as the reactionary chiefs of the time understood, women’s football was very popular. A century later, they were the best in Europe at a packed Wembley with 87,192 spectators. It remains to be seen if he too is of the world, now that the typical alignment has been noticeably distorted.

In defense lies the low capital Williamson, who occasionally played as a midfielder. But a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in April denied him the bracelet and the World Cup. And although the midfield is still intact with Stanway Walsh – the best player in the European final -, the attack has completely peeled off, leaving only winger Hemp. There was no loss as telling as that of Beth Meade, the best player and top scorer in the European Cup, who was also punished by tearing the cruciate ligament in her left knee. Although the team will also miss access and a starting point on turnovers represented by Fran Kirby, who since February has been battling another knee injury. He tried it with platelet-rich plasma, but after noticing it wasn’t improving, Chelsea’s medical team advised him to have an operation. The last shot he lost, though in this case because he hung up his boots after the European victory, is that of striker Ellen White. A significant lack of goal for a team other than women’s football in England.
