Beth Mead was taken off
Beth Mead was taken off immediately after suffering a head injury in the 1-0 victory over Ajax

"I've never experienced anything like the trip to Amsterdam, where we qualified for the group stage of the Women's European Championship," said the manager.

The goalposts were 10 cm smaller than they needed to be before kick-off.

The fourth official told Eidevall that the rules of concussion substitute were incorrect.

It has been a strange experience being here.

We had to measure the goals before the beginning of the game. I have never seen anything like that before.

We can only control what we can control.

The first leg of the second-round qualification tie was held to a 2-2 draw and the winner was scored by the Netherlands international.

England international Beth Mead was forced to leave with a head injury after Souza injured her ankle.

We don't get anything for nothing on the field. Eidevall said that they get a lot of free-kicks against them.

The level of play that has been allowed to be played against us has been a challenge. I am not surprised that we have had two injuries.

There was a lot of confusion as she was taken off as a precautionary measure.

According to Eidevall, he was told he could make a concussion substitution but was later told he couldn't and the game was finished with 10 players in the last minute.

State teams are allowed to make five substitution in a match, but only during three intervals, and there are no concussion replacements.

Two permanent replacements can be made in the event of a head injury, even if replacements have already been used.

There is no question that Beth Mead needs to go. I asked the fourth official if we could do a concussion substitute, and she said "yes".

When we were going to do it, she said no. We were about to get her ready.

We would have talked to the players about how to defend. I don't know what's going on with that misinformation from the referee. It's very easy to answer yes or no.

The challenge on Mead was worthy of a red card as it was dangerous.

It can impact the rest of your life if you hit the head. It's important. He said that the decisions have to be very good.

It's carelessness if that is not a red card to go towards someone's head. I hope Mead is doing well.
