England on track for 2026, but with offensive regrets

England dominated Greece in the first match of their women's playoff for the 2026 World Cup, winning 2-0. However, the Lionesses could have inflicted a heavier defeat against a porous Greek defense. This victory offers a comfortable advantage for the English ahead of the decisive second leg. The ticket to the United States is taking shape favorably, but England's attack will need to show more clinical finishing in the final tournament.
