England\u2019s Beth Mead celebrates with team-mate <\/b>Georgia Stanway<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
England hammered Scotland 6-0 at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening but it was not enough to overtake Netherlands at the top of their Nations League group, meaning Team GB will not play in the women\u2019s football competition at Paris 2024 Olympics.<\/p>\n
The Lionesses were the nominated team to qualify Team GB for the Olympics and had to reach the Nations League final to take one of the two available spots.<\/p>\n
Netherlands headed into Tuesday night\u2019s final round of group stage matches level on points with England, but with a superior goal difference by a margin of three goals. So for England to top the group, they either needed Belgium to take points off the Netherlands in the night\u2019s other match, or to pin back that goal difference with a commanding win in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
England had done enough to sit on top of the group as both games moved into added time until Damaris Egurrola scored for Netherlands in the 91st minute, which put the Dutch back into first place on goal difference. Moments later, Lucy Bronze\u2019s goal put England 6-0 up, which was going to do the job and the final whistle blew.<\/p>\n
As England\u2019s players stood around waiting for the other game to finish, Egurrola netted again in the 95th minute to seal a 4-0 victory, and in the process win the Nations League group for Netherlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed,\u201d said England manager Sarina Wiegman, who would have coached Team GB at the Olympics. \u201cI felt we delivered tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team showed lots of character but we started really well. I thought when Lucy scored, we\u2019re going to get this. Then the Netherlands scored, and that\u2019s how close it was. I was really proud of the performance, but we\u2019re not through, and it\u2019s very disappointing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t get through on goal difference, it\u2019s not enough. I still think what we\u2019ve done, the Euros, getting to the final in the World Cup, having hardly [any] rest, going into the first Nations League campaign and yes we had moments we struggled but we had moments where we did really well, but that\u2019s football.\u201d<\/p>\n
