It isn’t supposed to be like this. England have waltzed and whistled their way through a major tournament semi-final like it was nothing…
England were magnificent because they were not always magnificent, if that can still make sense. This was not the stroll of Norway and Northern Ireland, nor was it the gutsy, make-do victory over Spain. Sweden are legitimately brilliant and they troubled England. And yet England ended it by making a quadruple substitution to save players for the final and passing the ball at walking pace because their opponents were broken.
We’re going to have to start with The Goal, and we’re not even talking about Beth Mead stopping a cross almost dead, swivelling and firing the ball on the turn to make it 1-0. Not when Alessia Russo is backheeling the ball through a goalkeeper’s legs from wide in the six-yard box. Hedvig Lindahl will wish to return home and sit in a dark room for a while. She was nutmegged, chipped and rifled past, surely the goalkeeper’s version of hung, drawn and quartered.
