England Lionesses: Sarina Wiegman's analysis of France loss at Euro most important of career

England manager Sarina Wiegman's analysis of the defeat by France is "one of the most important ones in her career", says former Lionesses midfielder Fran Kirby.

Wiegman's side were beaten 2-1 in their Euro 2025 opener as they became the first defending champions to lose their first match of the next tournament at a women's Euros.

Kirby retired from international football a month ago, after Wiegman told the 31-year-old Brighton midfielder she was not going to make the squad.

"It was very different to the Lionesses team I am used to playing in and watching," Kirby told BBC Radio 5 Live about Saturday's loss.

"There were too many errors, too many sloppy passes. Defensively we looked shaky and disjointed. It was really tough to watch.

"We always do analysis after the game but I think this analysis probably has to be one of the most important ones of Sarina's managerial career."
