The Tactics - What Makes Women's Football Unique
Episode 10
Thursday, 6 November, 2025
Women’s football isn’t a simplified version of the men’s game — it’s a tactical laboratory. In this episode, we explore why the women’s game often demonstrates greater collective intelligence, discipline, and creativity than its male equivalent. Guided by the principles of Sarina Wiegman, the only coach to lead two nations to World Cup finals, we break down how tactical philosophies differ across the elite landscape — from Spain’s positional mastery and Barcelona Femení’s fluid rotations, to England’s intelligent directness under Wiegman, and the Netherlands’ adaptable, opponent-specific flexibility.Discover how these contrasting styles shape the game’s identity — and how to replicate them in Football Manager 26 using the new dual-phase tactical system. Learn why set pieces are more decisive, pressing is more coordinated, and transition moments define success.This is football, stripped of assumptions and built on intelligence.---Check out our site!
