England looks to end lengthy international drought with win at Women’s World Cup
The rallying cry “It’s Coming Home” is one game away from reality and the end of England’s 57-year drought in global soccer.
It has been a magical ride for both teams: England has been on top of the global game since winning the European Championship last summer, and Spain is in its first final less than a year since 15 players quit the team in protest. Wiegman is after her second major trophy at the helm of England after guiding the Lionesses’ to their first European championship last year.
Spain, meanwhile, has defied expectations in the World Cup by reaching the final despite a near mutiny by players last fall. Spain saw 15 players quit the national team citing mental-health concerns. The players called on the federation to create a more professional environment. At the start of practice on Friday, 19-year-old Paralluelo was treated for what appeared to be a cramp in her left leg. Also absent was forward Alba Redondo, who was riding a stationary bike off to the side.
