England are currently playing the qualifiers for the 2025 Futsal World Cup. They played Finland yesterday and lost 5-2 however that was a very strong Finland team (ranked 10 in the world) and it was England's
first ever international match having thrown the squad together in the last few months and having had only one weekend for squad practice.
They play their second group match today at 4 pm and it should be shown live on YouTube (their first match was).

Feel free to give it a watch, I was very impressed by the skill levels shown in the first match and there was no play acting, cheating or swearing at the ref either, most un football like!

Essentially Finland will win the group, to qualify we need to beat Moldova today and then probably beat Slovenia (who beat Moldova 7-0) on Saturday.
Good luck ladies!

Even so, I'm sure you are still very proud of Emma & Alicia.
