Yeah, my wife spotted it.
England should be 2 up, magnificent headed goal given offside when the England player was clearly level

England football (both men and women) is in fine health at the moment. Some great victories at various levels.

Nobody will agree but well done to the FA. It's working.

I'd agree with the younger players and ladies doing well, but will we ever see the senior men's team do anything of note?

I always feel like there's a limit to what the FA (or anyone who isn't a player) can actually do.

You can have the best facilities, the best coaches and the best people coaching the coaches, but ultimately it's about sending 11 players out on a pitch to win a match in 90 minutes.

The only people who can control those moments are the players themselves. Each of them is an individual human, capable of making decisions, doing brilliant things and making mistakes.

They're not robots, so nothing in sport can be guaranteed (unless you worked in FIFA). There are upsets, shocks, comebacks... it's why we love it.

We've long suspected the success of the men's England team is down to mentality. We could have the best psychologists in the world but they can't be out there with the players.

There will always be a bit of sport that's in the lap of the gods. We may never win anything because we just don't get the breaks or the luck when we need it.

Current team is just a bang average group of players but the younger age groups look to have more about them so fingers crossed in 5-10 years the mens team can start replicating the success of the yoofs.

The same thing we've been hearing for years. There's a great group of players on the way and we'll be successful in the future, only we never are. We always seem to be building to some distant tournament, all the while, the French, Spanish, Italians and mostly the Germans keep winning all the silverware.
