THE BIGGER PICTURE

A mixed start to another major tournament has been made, with a disappointing defeat to France being followed by a crushing 4-0 victory over the Netherlands. Wiegman is trying to ensure that her players remain relaxed and occupied behind the scenes.

DID YOU KNOW?

That process has included a spot of basketball, with everyone happy to get involved with “trick shots”. Chelsea defender Bronze set an early standard when juggling three balls and tossing all of them into the net.

Manchester United midfielder Toone bounced a ball in, Arsenal forward Kelly was involved in wild celebrations with club colleagues Beth Mead and Alessia Russo, while captain Leah Williamson went dead pan before cracking a smile alongside Alex Greenwood.
