Let’s see some game time from the talented Kathrine Kuhl – please!
The forgotten footballer
She justifiably looked v sad on the bench this evening – a perfect game for her to get some time on the pitch!
3-0 up, a perfect time to get some well deserved game time. Her national coach said it’s not ideal for her not to be getting match time.
Mariona is a big loss, she was very good in the last game. I’m not convinced this is our strongest lineup even accounting for her absence.
Well we are 3-0 so far 👍
Mariona is here. Thought she might have needed to be Spain, when she wasn’t named as playing
