SK Stats & Facts: Arnold Clark Cup preview
She Kicks, issue 71, February 2022 pp.50–52
A She Kicks Stats & Facts feature by Natalia Sollohub previewing the inaugural Arnold Clark Cup, contested by England, Canada, Germany and Spain across the Riverside Stadium, Carrow Road and Molineux in February 2022. Head-to-head records are set out for every pairing, including England’s 26 meetings with Germany yielding a single win, the third-place match at the 2015 World Cup settled by a Fara Williams penalty. On-this-day entries mark Karen Carney scoring on her England debut at 17 in 2005, England’s Euro 1995 semi-final defeat in Bochum, and Ella Toone’s debut goal in 2021 alongside first caps for Sandy MacIver, Ebony Salmon and Lotte Wubben-Moy. Trivia notes that Christine Sinclair has never scored against Spain and that Kelly Smith broke Kerry Davis’ record almost ten years earlier.
