With a year to go until the World Cup starts in Brazil, this was a concerning scoreline that gives Wiegman plenty to ponder.

Facing world champions Spain away is arguably the toughest test in football, but to lose so comfortably was not an easy watch.

Former England midfielder Fran Kirby said Wiegman’s players looked “deflated” at full-time and she “hurt just watching it”.

“They will learn from it, and they have to rise up to put in a good performance against Ukraine,” Kirby told BBC Radio 5 Live.

Just the top team from their group automatically qualifies for the World Cup and even if England beat Ukraine on Tuesday they will likely miss out, with this defeat by Spain the only blotch on their otherwise solid campaign.

So what damage did the 4-0 defeat have on England?

“Of course, it’s not a great scoreline. It’s hard, it’s dispointing, and I think there was a difference – a big difference – between ourselves and Spain,” added Wiegman.

“We review this, recover, stick together, play a good game and then move forward.

“We know if we qualify [automatically] that there’s a different preparation than if we don’t qualify. Let’s first see what hpens on Tuesday.”

England midfielder Keira Walsh, who ctained the side in the absence of injured centre-back Leah Williamson, conceded they “just weren’t good enough”.

“Spain played incredibly well but I think there are a lot of things we could have done better. It felt like they had bodies everywhere,” said Walsh.

“It was very difficult to get out of our own box. I don’t have solutions right now. Obviously we’ll look back but right now the emotions are very high.

“It was a dispointing game. We’ve still got a small chance to qualify automatically. It’s out of our hands. We can hope Iceland do us a favour.”

NASCAR Hall of Famer Ned Jarrett, a two-time Cup champion and longtime broadcaster, died peacefully Thursday of natural causes at his home in Newton, North Carolina, his family announced. He was 93.

Jarrett won 50 races during his career and was the champion of NASCAR’s top series in 1961 and 1965, when he won 13 races and finished in the top five in 42 of 54 races despite breaking his back in a June wreck at Greenville-Pickens (SC) Speedway.

During the 1966 season, Jarrett lost his manufacturer support when Ford Motor Co. pulled out of the sport. Jarrett opted to retire while on top at just age 34 and spend more time with his family.

“Our father was a devout Christian and a devoted, loving family man,” the Jarrett family said in a statement. “He was a friend to everyone he met and NASCAR’s oldest living champion. By all accounts, he was a true NASCAR legend. While we mourn his passing, we celebrate the remarkable life of an amazing man and truly the best father anyone could have wished for. Rest in Peace, Dad.”

Jarrett was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011 as part of the second five-member class.

He returned to the sport as a radio broadcaster with MRN in 1978, and he later moved to the television booth with CBS and ESPN. One of his signature moments came at the 1993 Daytona 500, when he called the finish to the race and openly rooted as his son, Dale Jarrett, took the checkered flag ahead of Dale Earnhardt.

“Despite his calm demeanor, ‘Gentleman’ Ned Jarrett was as fierce a competitor as NASCAR has ever seen,” NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell said in a statement. “His on-track accomplishments speak for themselves with wins and championships across several NASCAR divisions. But it was his off-the-track persona that separated Ned from his peers. He was as kind as his nickname indicated. And his endearing personality helped him excel in his second career as a broadcaster. Ned was an outstanding ambassador for the sport for more than six decades, and he will be dearly missed. On behalf of the France family and all of NASCAR, I offer my deepest condolences to all of Ned’s family and friends on the loss of a NASCAR legend.”

The Jarretts were the second father-son combination to win championships at NASCAR’s highest level, and both are members of the Hall of Fame.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Seth Jarvis scored on the power play in overtime after Carolina erased a deficit in regulation only to give up a late tying goal, and the Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night.

The series is now tied 1-1. Game 3 is at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday in Vegas.

Jarvis’ heroics 3:56 into OT came after a thrilling third period that included four goals being scored and another getting called off because of goaltender interference.

“It was a Iot,” said Jarvis, who scored for just the fourth time this playoffs. “We did a great job controlling our emotions. We never got too high, never got too low. Just kept responding, and that’s what I love about this group is we always bounce back.”

The Hurricanes had almost nothing going for the first 45 minutes, falling behind by two goals as the Golden Knights took advantage of a couple of scoring chances and locked down defensively. A couple of strong shifts in the offensive zone just before the midway point of the third brought the crowd back to life because the Hurricanes were buzzing.

Logan Stankoven made a terrific individual effort to get Carolina on the board, taking the puck away from Rasmus Andersson, going to the net and banking a shot off Jeremy Lauzon and in with 9:40 remaining in regulation. Less than three minutes later, Mark Jankowski fired a shot past Carter Hart to tie it, flipping the script from Game 1, when Vegas erased a multigoal deficit and won.

“Stanky did a great job getting it going and Janks with a great shot, and it just carried on from there,” Jarvis said.

This is the first time each of the first two games of a Cup Final featured a team falling behind by more than a goal and winning.

A big decision by Vegas coach John Tortorella with five minutes left paved the way for it to hpen.

Frederik Andersen initially went full extension to deny Ivan Barbashev with the paddle of his stick, and a scrum ensued in the crease that ended with the puck eventually in the net. Referee Jean Hebert waved it off immediately, saying Andersen was pushed into the net and ruling it was goaltender interference.

Tortorella after some deliberation opted to use his coach’s challenge, and the on-ice officials in consultation with the NHL’s situation room confirmed the call on the ice stood.

The punishment for a failed challenge is a two-minute minor penalty. The Hurricanes went on the power play, where they had been so ineffective all night and most of the playoffs.

Not this time. Jordan Staal redirected Shayne Gostisbehere‘s point shot in on the power play with 4:35 left in regulation.

The Hurricanes killed off a penalty in the intervening time before allowing Mark Stone to tie it with 1:21 left at 6-on-5 with Hart pulled for an extra skater. Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin actually knocked the puck into his own net on the play.

Early in overtime, Tomas Hertl tripped Staal to put Carolina back on the power play. That allowed Jarvis to score just Carolina’s ninth power-play goal of the playoffs.

“That’s a step in the right direction,” Jarvis said. “Our power play found our groove tonight. It started with Jordo in the third, and they’re just making the right plays, playing smart and being aggressive and it worked out.”

INDIANOLIS — Just about the only thing that went wrong for the Indiana Fever on Thursday night was Caitlin Clark vomiting at halftime.

Bouncing back from a two-game losing streak, the Fever had their best defensive performance of the season in an 83-71 victory over the Atlanta Dream.

Clark turned the hallway corner for her postgame media session with a white towel dred over her shoulders as she held it across her mouth. The Fever star’s voice sounded gravelly as she told reporters she was a little ill at halftime. That, however, didn’t stop her from playing on and finishing with 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.

“I haven’t puked that much in a really long time,” Clark said. “But then I felt fine. I felt light. So, I was running around feeling good in the second half, but [I] feel OK. Obviously, I’m losing my voice a little bit. But I’ll be good.”

At the end of a six-day stretch filled with drama, from a heated sideline exchange between Clark and coach Stephanie White to a team meeting to discuss recent troubles, the Fever (5-4) had their best win of the season, leading to what felt like a teamwide exhale of relief.

It was also the fewest points the Fever have allowed this season after they entered the day 13th in the league in defensive scoring at 89.0 points per game. The Dream, who were held to 29 first-half points, had their lowest-scoring game of the season.

“I liked our activity level,” White said. “Figuratively, of course, we hit first. We were the aggressor. We were active. We were anticipating. They felt us; they felt our energy. Our grit and our toughness was as good as it’s been all year long.”

On Monday, a day after a 100-84 loss to the Portland Fire that marked the low point of their season so far, the Fever had a heart-to-heart in what proved to be a productive team meeting free of intrasquad bickering. The session was used to identify shortcomings and deal head-on with other lingering issues.

“I think it speaks to our culture,” said Kelsey Mitchell, who scored 25 points on Thursday night and surpassed 5,000 career points. “Over the last couple of days … our energy shifted as a group. I think that our culture constantly made changes. When you have hard conversations as a group, you pour into one another. You get days like this because you actually poured in. We did the work the right way.

“Talent gets us there, but team camaraderie and just being honest about where we are as a group keeps us there.”

The matchup was the opener to Commissioner’s Cup play for Indiana. Atlanta was already 1-0 in Cup play with a 91-75 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday.

The Fever are the reigning Cup champions and knocked the Dream out of the 2025 playoffs in the first round.

So, there was plenty of juice inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a game that featured two of the league’s biggest names in Clark and Dream center Angel Reese, who was booed from the start of pregame introductions.

“Any small little championship, we want to have and we want to take,” Reese told ESPN at shootaround. “All of us are competitors and … all of us want to win as many games and as many things that we can get. Atlanta hasn’t won a Commissioner’s Cup championship before, so we want to do that.”

Nothing went well for the Dream on the offensive end as they shot a season-low 34.3% and were 6-for-21 from behind the arc. Three-time All-Star Rhyne Howard (eight points) and Eastern Conference Player of the Month Allisha Gray (13) were both held to season lows in points.

Aliyah Boston finished with 19 points and seven rebounds for the Fever.
