Iniesta was always driving the ball forward, so I tried to do that. Today I feel I have the same way of understanding the game.

With this latest success, Spain is now the world champion at U17, U20 and senior level. A feat that has never been accomplished before in the women&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Wiegman, the history-maker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As for England, it, unfortunately, proved to be a game too far, their manager Sarina Wiegman became the first manager in World Cup history to reach a final with two different nations (as four years ago she took her native Netherlands &#8212; also then Euro champions &#8212; to a final showdown with the United States). In fact, before today, only three foreign coaches played for gold: George Raynor (1958), Ernst Happel (1978) and Pia Sundhage (2011). In the end, history wasn&#8217;t made as every women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s football world champion to date has been led by a native of the winning nation.<\/p>\n<p>This was also painfully England&#8217;s first competitive defeat under Wiegman, having gone 29 such games without defeat since losing against Spain in the SheBelieves Cup in March 2020, embattled La Roja head coach Jorge Vilda was also in charge back then. Despite all the off-field controversies that have surrounded them Spain are the fifth team to win the FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup, after USA (4), Germany (2), Norway (1) and Japan (1). Prior to this year&#8217;s edition, they had only ever won one match at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Even more impressive, Spain, who lost 4-0 to Japan 20 days ago, is only the second side to be crowned champions of the WWC despite having lost a group stage match during that tournament, after Japan in 2011. The future looks bright for both nations, but right now Spain has well and truly conquered the women&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain are celebrating their first Women&#8217;s World Cup after running out 1-0 winners over England in Sydney, Australia.
