England's Women Face Defensive Dilemmas as Le Tissier Conundrum Lingers
The Lionesses' recent 2-1 loss to Brazil in their Homecoming Series opener has raised questions about the positioning of midfielder Maya Le Tissier. With her versatility being questioned, coach Sarina Wiegman will need to find a solution that works for the team's defense.
Le Tissier's defensive exploits were overshadowed by England's struggles, as they conceded two goals in the match. The 22-year-old has been playing in various positions throughout her career, including right-back and right-midfielder. However, Wiegman may need to settle on a specific position for Le Tissier to avoid confusion.
Meanwhile, teammate Khiara Keating made history with her landmark debut, becoming the first England player born in 2005 to earn an international cap. The young midfielder's impressive display has sparked hopes that she could be a key player in the team's future.
In other Women's Football news, the Republic of Ireland edged closer to promotion to League A by beating Belgium, while Spain cruised past Sweden. In Wales, Jess Fishlock bowed out in style, retiring from international football on a high note.
Additionally, Germany has invested €100m in women's football, with Fifpro's World XI team missing several prominent players. The Guardian also received emails from fans around the world, including those from Canada and New Zealand.

. I mean, with Khiara Keating making her debut and all, it's like the future of women's football is looking so bright! 
And can we talk about Germany investing €100m in women's football? That's AMAZING 
! They're really taking this sport seriously now. It's so inspiring to see more countries supporting their teams 
. Can't wait for the next match and seeing what England comes up with to tackle those defensive dilemmas 
but seriously sarina wiegman needs to figure out how to use that girl and not make her defense go from 
to 
ASAP 
also kudos to khiara keating for smashing the debut record and giving us all hope for the future 
. If they can settle on one position for her, it could make such a big difference in the team's defense 
. The thing is, Le Tissier's been playing around with different positions before, and it seems like she's struggling to commit to just one spot 
.
It's also awesome to see Jess Fishlock retiring on a high note – she's had an incredible career 
.
. The fact that Fifpro's World XI team is missing so many prominent players says something about how far women's football has come 
.
But seriously, it's kinda cool that Khiara Keating made history with her debut, and Spain beating Sweden sounds like a decent win for them. I'm loving the investment Germany is putting into women's football too - €100m is no joke!
