England vs Sweden

England are into the final of the European Championship after a 4-0 victory over Sweden with goals from Mead, Bronze, Russo and Kirby.

If anyone deserved to get in on the act, it was Kirby. After everything she has been through, nobody would have blamed her if her speculative effort from distance had gone nowhere, but after an awkward bounce it ended in the net. Fortunately, the sky had turned black, and the night was all but over from a Swedish perspective. This was an occasion that called for the attack behind Ellen White to use their imagination and Kirby, in particular, has it in abundance. At 2-0, England were sat deep, holding on for dear life when two saves in as many minutes – the second at full stretch – thwarted the danger. Just as Spain showed in the last eight, squeeze hard enough and it is possible to cut off England’s blood supply. Sweden targeted the space between Lucy Bronze and Millie Bright, Jakobsson had time to get her shot away, and were it not for the legs of Mary Earps Sweden would have broken some hearts.

Being the top-ranked team in the Euros meant that expectations of Sweden were always going to be sky high. Not in the UK right now? Russo in particular has done everything in her power to earn a starting role. Daly had a torrid night against Spain's Athenea del Castillo in the last round, and is likely to be targeted by Kosovare Asllani, who's been one of the tournament's brightest stars. After freewheeling their way through the group stage, Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses were pushed to within an inch of their lives last week, and the Blågult will feel that they've got the tools to make them pay.

The defensive-minded midfielder was able to score a brace against Portugal in the last game of the group stage. In attack she will need to position herself in the right position and offer her teammates good passes. Sweden attacked early in the game and put England on the defensive. The England striker and No. 9 has failed to deliver in most of her matches this tournament. It didn’t take Sweden long to get back into the game as captain Victoria Sandell Svensson equalised things.

Against a powerhouse side in England they will need to bring it all and leave nothing out on the pitch. Sweden dominated the game from the opening kick-off all the way to the end whistle. “For all of us, it would be amazing to get that win in the semi-final. As a squad with elite players across all the top leagues, they won’t give Sweden a chance to breathe. Coming off a good win against Spain, the Lionesses will be eager to continue their good form.
