England v Greece: Women’s World Cup qualifying playoff, second leg – live

* World Cup playoff, 7.30pm BST kick-off (first leg: 3-1) * Read today’s edition of Moving the Goalposts on Japan More than 22,000 tickets were issued for this match. It looks like scarcely half of that figure are here inside this stadium at the moment. The atmosphere is certainly livelier than it was in Crete on Friday, at least, and there was a very loud roar for Ella Toone when her name was read out among the list of substitutes, which was interesting. There was a slight feel of England going through the motions on Friday – hopefully they will have a bit more zip and style about their game tonight, to entertain those who have turned up. [On the debutant Lexi Potter] I hope she will bring what she has done for Chelsea and in our training sessions. She’s impressed me, the staff and the team. She’s a big talent. [On the inclusion of Jess Carter] There’s a lot of competition in that position. We will probably be one v one a lot in defence, which is something she’s good at. Continue reading...
