Tamara Prenn Host commentator Ed Carruthers Host commentator 22:53 Sarina Wiegman has always been a trailblazer... having reached FOUR consecutive major finals, the former PE teacher stands on the precipice of World Cup glory with England Sarina Wiegman is a legend. It's as simple as that. A legend . Four consecutive major finals reached. Let that sink in, because before we blink it could become five, six, whatever she wants to achieve. Wiegman never has been one to look at a history book and leave it unruffled.

But to be crowned world champions little more than 12 months later would catapult this team — and women's football in England — into another stratosphere. We could then finally stop talking about 1966 being the last time an England side won the World Cup. This Lionesses team have already inspired a younger generation of girls and boys, but beating Spain to go all the way would be the ultimate tribute to their progress under Sarina Wiegman.
