From the tweets of Daisy Wildsmith, the Impetus contributor offers her opinion on last night’s Lionesses’ game with Germany in front of a record breaking Wembley crowd.
The accuracy of Steph Houghton, that pass from Keira Walsh and the finish from Ellen White – the high spot of a historic night at Wembley.
White’s trademark poacher’s finish set things up for a second half with all to play for, although it was not to be in the end. Houghton shone again in the second half with a cracking header to protect our goal, and consistently put her body on the line along with Lucy Bronze and Lauren Hemp in her cameo appearance as a substitute.
The result itself was a huge shame and left me heartbroken. England worked so hard and never gave up, it was a great game of football to watch. Germany were the stronger team in parts when it mattered. The huge crowd and the large number of post-match opinion online makes it like women’s football is being taken as seriously as men’s.
The important thing is that it doesn’t impact on the Lionesses’ mindset for the game in the Czech Republic on Tuesday night, where the hope is they will end the year on a high.
