Also, "her coaching team went on a 'deep dive' to evaluate its benefits" - you've been coaching two decades and you don't know the benefits of a back 5?!

What's most hilarious to me about this ridiculous self-own is that she thinks she's being all coy and secretive about which games she used it for, like a team set up in a back 5 isn't something we can see with our eyes

Arrived at it organically | Internal Break Round-up & England Talking Points

New episode 📢

News, learnings and musings from the international break 🌍

(Mainly about England)

🤔 The CB/RB debate rumbles on
⚡ Do we need to have a chat about strikers?

Listen here and wherever you get your podcasts 👇🏻

@girlsontheball.bsky.social do you have any intel on Heather Payne and why she's not in the Ireland squad tonight? From a concerned Leicester fan. 😅

Never really liked ABJ out wide. She's good cutting in but quality isn't there on the crosses. Much prefer her through the centre.

Props to Sarina for trying to style this Le Tissier narrative out by starting her at RB in the last game then moving her to CB when Bronze came on, then starting her at CB in this game as if she's landed on this organically 😅

Yup. Lots of fans not happy as they can't bring their kids who play football on a Sunday morning. Impacting our attendances which were on the up towards the end of last season.

Every single one of Leicester's kick offs this half of the season is/has been 12pm 😅 with the exception of Everton which was, inexplicably, at 11:55

Slow start, couldn't control midfield, same old, same old

Esme Morgan banger incoming

🚨🚨MAYA LE TISSIER AT CENTRE BACK FOR ENGLAND🚨🚨

Lionesses 'have to move forwards' says Sarina Wiegman - The Halfway Line Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses want to 'improve' and 'learn from' upcoming friendly against Brazil, with all sights set on the 2027 World Cup.

She's still in camp, trained with the other goalkeepers, just wasn't doing any catching or diving!

You'll never sing that 🥲💪🏻

Should clarify Sophie Baggaley has been called up and is also available.

Sarina Wiegman confirms Hannah Hampton will not be available for tomorrow's game as she has a slight elbow complaint, meaning a senior England debut for either Anna Moorhouse or Khiara Keating.

At SGP this morning for @thehalfwayline.bsky.social to hear from Sarina Wiegman and Alex Greenwood ahead of England's friendly against Brazil tomorrow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

England need to stop trying to go long and get the ball to Olivia McLoughlin's feet. Am I biased? Yes. Would it work? Also yes. #EnglandWU23s

I just can't believe someone would lack self awareness to that extent. Mind. Your. Business.

I told her we had decided we were no longer moving but when we were it was nothing to do with who had moved in next door. I lost my mom earlier this year (which she knew) so felt a change of scenery would be nice.

She then proceeds to interrogate me about why we're leaving, do we know if the woman next door is "Ofsted inspected" because she's "running a nursery" (she's a childminder). Do we know about the guy buying up all the property? Isn't a shame that house wasn't sold to a nice family (read: white)?

A woman who I see and chat to exclusively on dog walks and is a notorious gossip just came and knocked the door while I was cooking tea. Had a face like she was about to tell me someone had died. Thought something and happened to our cat.

We've been hit and miss in the cup last couple of seasons, if nothing else should hopefully continue to boost the confidence and serve to sharpen up Rantala and Mouchon as they work their way back.

Jesus, PCL is rare in football. It's the ligament at the back of your knee so takes some force to rupture it. My husband doesn't have a PCL in this right knee because he got run over by a truck. Can't believe she carried on for 10 minutes after it happened.
