Daily News | Women’s World Cup: England shows its championship mettle with a comeback win over Colombia
Such talk doesn’t come as naturally to Wiegman, and not just because of her roots. She is as calm under pressure as you’ll ever see, and that rubs off on her players.
“A lot of it, definitely,” said forward Chloe Kelly, the title game star of England’s European Championship triumph last year.That is the mark of a potential champion in the making.“I think that’s one of the strengths of this team, that we do stay calm,” Wiegman said. “We conceded the goal, and you don’t see any panic. We just tried to speed up the game even more, create chances, and score goals. So far, I think we have done that really well, and I hope we keep doing that.
But it’s OK to enjoy a little bit of the hype at a moment like this, too. This is the fifth straight major tournament where England has made the semifinals — the 2015, ‘19, and ‘23and the 2017 and ‘22 Euros — and the Lionesses might be the favorites to win it all. Spain and Sweden will contest the other semifinal Tuesday in Auckland .
“We’re definitely enjoying it now,” midfielder Ella Toone said. “But we’re a really focused team, and we want to make sure that we’re 100% right going into the next game. We’ll enjoy the moment now, but our focus now is on the semifinal.”“I just think it’s going to be really big,” she said after an English reporter asked what she knows about the England-Australia rivalry’s history. “But now I’ve had a couple of questions about that, so it’s probably going to be bigger than I imagined now.
