That’s not on the coach.

Sinclair was on the pitch and nobody was taking that ball from her if she wanted it. She’s the captain, she’s the best player this country has ever seen (Men or Women), and she is chasing the record of greatest international goal scorer of all time.

She needed to grab that ball, smash it into the roof and the net, and carry on in her usual dominating fashion.

Coach probably was as shocked as the rest of us when Beckie stepped up to take that, but if that’s Sinclair’s decision on the pitch the coach can’t really force Sinclair to take it at that point.
