Yesterday, an English national football team won its first major trophy since 1966
Then, 56 years ago, the Men’s team beat West Germany 4-2 after extra time, at Wembley to win the World Cup
One day ago, the Women’s team beat Germany 2-1 after extra time, at Wembley to win the Euros
Three things stand out for me:
1. The Coach - Sarina Wiegman was appointed England coach in September 2021 – just 10 months ago - having previously led her native Netherlands to Euros victory in 2017. She was spot on with her substitutes, motivation, and game management throughout the tournament
Action: If you want a job done, go to someone who has done it successfully before
2. The Fans - Sang and supported the national anthems, with no booing
Respect: The FA's 'Respect' programme, started in 2008, delivered in full in 2022
3. Scale: This tournament will accelerate the growth of women’s football in the UK, and around the world – with national teams playing in bigger stadiums and bigger crowds
Thought: That’s the BBC’s Sports Personality of The Year Team Award done then, in July
With my love and best wishes to you all
