“Sarina Wiegman is brilliant at responding to the flow of a game and making changes in both players and tactics,” reckons Anil Patel, en route back from Basel. “Something Southgate was rarely able to achieve. That skill is even more important with the advent of ‘goalkeeper time-outs’ where the goalkeeper goes down with an ‘injury’ and the rest of the team rushes to the sidelines for a word with the coaching staff.”

I agree, though it’s fair to note that, during the last men’s Euros, Southgate’s subs made crucial interventions, even if their performances were poor. But, though we’re still enjoying the moment, I’d be pretty surprised if, during the party, no one mentioned the World Cup, coming up in 2027 – in Brazil, too. There, I think, Wiegman and England’s challenge will be to keep winning, but to develop their style into one that is more dominant. This triumph was one of personality and heart – as well as skill under pressure, of course – but the talent and depth is there for them to move up yet another level.
