The highly-anticipated match between England and the United States women ended in a 0-0 draw at Wembley. Former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes was denied victory on her return to London, as the USA had a goal ruled out for offside and a penalty overturned by VAR. Despite being more solid defensively, England struggled offensively in front of a 78,000 crowd. Hayes expressed pride in coaching the USA, while England coach Sarina Wiegman saw the match as a sign of progress towards their Euros defense next year. Both teams are focused on improvement and have upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and the Netherlands respectively. The match showcased both teams at a developmental stage, with the USA defending Olympic gold and England preparing for the Euros. While the game fell flat in terms of excitement, it highlighted the ongoing progress and potential for both teams.
