England dominates Greece 8-1 in Women's World Cup qualifying play-offs
Summary

England achieved an overwhelming 8-1 aggregate victory over Greece in the Women's World Cup qualifying play-offs. This match followed a trend in which top European teams displayed dominance over lower-ranked opponents in the playoffs. The qualification structure has come under scrutiny due to these one-sided matches. England manager Sarina Wiegman emphasized the focus on upcoming matches against Ukraine, the first of which is scheduled for December 1. The upcoming rematch with Ukraine follows a previous league phase where England defeated them 9-1 on aggregate.
