As one BBC Sport live text reader, Brian, wrote: "What is the point of this match? It is a waste of England's time."
It was a harsh assesment after such a dazzling display - which the 74,611 inside Wembley Stadium no doubt enjoyed - but could Wiegman have given more minutes to some of England's unfamiliar stars?
Former England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley told BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra 2: "I think the opportunity may have been missed to start a few more debutants or give players more caps - maybe make some changes a bit sooner.
"We knew it was going to be comfortable maybe a quarter of the way through the first half.
"This felt more like an opportunity for the fans to come and see the players as opposed to anything they are really going to glean from a tactical point of view."
Lucia Kendall impressed on her debut in a 3-0 win over Australia last month so to experience a sold-out Wembley from the start would have been invaluable. She did come on, but not until the 68th minute with England already leading 6-0.
Forward Freya Godfrey, 20, was an unused substitute after earning her first call-up this week, while Taylor Hinds picked up her second cap, but only played 15 minutes.
The one player who was handed a debut - goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse - had little chance to impress because of the dominance of her side.
It was a very experienced midfield and frontline in the starting XI with Aggie Beever-Jones having to sit out for regular number nine Alessia Russo.
An injury-hit defence did see changes, though Arsenal centre-back Lotte Wubben-Moy was still on the bench.
Ian Wright said on ITV before kick-off: "At some stage, that has to happen [to see more youngsters]. We want to see more of those players.
"I think with the World Cup in 2027, we need to know that there are players who can come through and make the step up."
These friendlies are the opportunity to do that.
Stiff competition lies ahead with World Cup qualification starting in March - and a double header against world champions Spain in 2026.
It is rare that Wiegman does not have pressure on her shoulders and England, while an 8-0 win should be applauded, does not have much to gain when connections are being strengthened between players who may not feature in two years' time.
Could Wiegman have changed things up even more when England's lead was so dominating, so early on?
"We take every game seriously and when we substitute three players at half-time I think that's enough," she said.
"We have a squad of 25 and there are many players that are knocking on the door. Everyone wants to play.
"Some players are just coming into the squad and finding their feet. Other players have done a great job for us and are competing for starting positions. Changing one or two players, I didn't want to do that."
