It was more just about the evolution of the game like I said. When the Brazilians added their flair to it and Happel and the Dutch began perfecting Totaalvoetbal in the 70’s football changed forever. Coincidentally it’s never “been home” since. The game requires too much athleticism now. As much as I’m sure big goofy Brits like Harry Maguire wish it was still 1950 it’s just not.
Definitely not a “pop” to the England women’s team. They’ve had a very good showing and are a very good squad. I was very happy to see the level of talent so widespread at this women’s World Cup. They made the right choice expanding to 32 teams. It was fun seeing some of the smaller teams have such great showings.
