]Be interesting to see what happens to Sarina Weigman, as she's only contracted to 2025 and USA reportedly chasing her signature. Who knows if there are a few defeats in the next upcoming matches.
Wiegman seems quite adamant about staying until at least 2025. Next up for England is the Nations League. England are in a group with Netherlands, Belgium and Scotland and will be favourites to progress to the final 4. This, rather than the World Cup, is being used as qualification for the Olympics, with the finalists (or 3rd place team if France reach the final) qualifying. If England do make it, it's almost certain Wiegman will be asked to lead the GB team. It would be good if the FA are able to get her to commit beyond 2025, but having done almost everything there is to do with England, it would be understandable if she looks for new challenges after the next Euros.
Slightly off-topic - Anyone got the latest odds for BBC SPOTY?
As usual, some wild variation in prices and even in terms of who you can actually get a price for with certain bookmakers, but these are the best prices available:
13/8 Stuart Broad
9/2 Frankie Dettori
5/1 Katarina Johnson-Thompson
14/1 Ben Stokes
20/1 Mary Earps
25/1 Keely Hodgkinson
33/1 Millie Bright
40/1 Zharnel Hughes
50/1 Lauren Hemp
50/1 Jos Buttler
Worth remembering that we have the Cricket World Cup starting soon (which England have a genuine chance of winning again) and a Rugby Union World Cup (which England have absolutely no chance of winning).
