💨 Abstract
Ian Wright criticized Sarina Wiegman’s decision to start Lauren James, who was unfit, on the left wing in the Women’s Euros final against Spain. James, despite an ankle injury, was substituted after 40 minutes. Wright believed this was a risky move, especially given James' usual position on the right or center. England trailed 1-0 at half-time but equalized in the second half, thanks to Chloe Kelly, who replaced James.
