England make it two out of two in Women's World Cup qualifiers: what we learned

"This camp, I've been a lot higher in general. I've been a lot more in the pocket and my responsibility is to stand still a little bit more. Whereas I know in the past I feel like I'm the energy and I feel like I get around the pitch a lot whereas I can do that defensively. I feel like it was effective in both games."

"For the second half, though, and against Iceland, she was inverted on the right flank, cutting inside on to her left foot, and the results were impressive. She registered an assist and created six chances."

England won their first two World Cup qualifiers with a 6-1 victory over Ukraine and a 2-0 win against Iceland. Georgia Stanway emerged as the standout performer, scoring three goals and demonstrating improved positioning in a more advanced role. The midfielder emphasized her new tactical positioning higher up the pitch, allowing her to focus on attacking and creativity in the final third while maintaining defensive responsibilities. Lauren Hemp proved effective when deployed as an inverted right-winger, cutting inside onto her left foot to create chances and register an assist. These experimental tactical adjustments provided valuable insights ahead of England's anticipated April meeting with world champions Spain at Wembley.
