ENGLAND vs GERMANY

Is this the day England win their first major football tournament since 1966? Join Daniel Harris for all the buildup before kick-off.

But if we factor in her missing Euro 2013 and 2017; that she got hurt again at the start of this year, before contracting Covid in June; then her work these last few weeks is just rrrridiculous. Wiegman’s ability to affect games from the bench is a big part of what England got here. The ability to amp the players up, at the same time as calming them down, is one bestowed on very few, but every interview with her that I read or watch advertises that in very big letters. She’s made a grand total of 0 changes during the competition, even when England were through the group with a game to spare, so it’s not hard to predict what’ll happen today. They will, though, start properly, and England need to ensure they get themselves in the right frame of mind: not to nervous, not too excited. “The final is not the end of a journey but the start of one. I’m probably biased, but I don’t know if I can see beyond Ella Toone’s late equaliser for England against Spain. The drama and ecstasy of the hosts saving themselves was really special, but beyond that, a possession side being undone by high ball into the big lass up top, followed by a knockdown she doesn’t even win, followed by a third-person run reaching the second ball first to finish? Obviously I’m forever dazzled by the skill of which sportsfolk are capable, but the ability to avoid convulsing in tears at the sheer joy of where they find themselves is the aspect that amazes me most. And now back to Williamson, though she wears a no8 but plays centre-back – an infraction that might interest the Hague – it’s with good reason: her range of passing and composure on the ball means she’s a pretty nifty midfielder too. “I’ve only ever been in this football workplace but, in most workplaces across the world, women still have a few more battles to face to try to overcome. Back to Zelem, she notes that Germany are a very physical side, and that’s an extremely exciting observation because England aren’t behind the door either. Nonetheless, I’m still going with her because I think Kirby and Russo have the feet to be brilliant in confined spaces.

The 2009 championship match has been the last time the two rivals have met at the Euros. However, Germany has England’s number in the tournament, winning all six matchups. They competed in the first championship match back in 1984, losing to Sweden. In their second appearance in 2009, they fell to Germany in the middle of their impressive win streak. Dating back to their history under the West Germany banner, Die Nationalelf have never lost a championship match at the Euros, posting an 8-0 record. The star’s sixth goal of the Euros ended up being enough, as Germany would go on to their ninth final with a 2-1 win. In their semifinal match against France, Captain Alexandra Popp continued to shine, scoring first in the 40th-minute. England poured it on in the second half, with Lucy Bronze, Alessio Russo and Fran Kirby finding the back of the net.

The Women’s Euro summit clash between England and Germany will be played at the Wembley Stadium in London.

They truly believe they are equals and can get the result." "You feel so much more invested in it, knowing what the players have had to do to get themselves to that point and were in the same shoes as me. "If it had been France, I think I would be a lot more comfortable because I wouldn't have had the history I would've had with Germany, the disappointment over my career and how dominant they've been. The belief they have with Sarina too, that she's been there and done it and has got everything singing from the same hymn sheet. "No matter what happens, it has already been a huge tournament for England. It's one of the best performances I've seen from an England Women's side and we should have a lot of faith in Sarina. As much as we can talk about players, she is the key to this success. "The last win came in February, which is great, but it was against a Germany team missing 14 players through illness and injury in a friendly tournament. It's put us in a place to do it now and the team needs to be ready to do it." "I do think that England will win, but I am concerned that the start needs to be good. We're not going to know the real impact of these Euros for a little while yet - maybe months or years - but the impact on English football and in the UK if they win is massive. "We've got substitutes that come on and take the game to another level. As a fellow former players, it's a joy to watch [Alexandra] Popp's journey and to see the emotions. "We didn't win it in 2009 for various reasons and we've been to three semi-finals now, but it's all about timing.

Before that, the Lionesses cruised through the group stage, winning all their games and scoring 14 unanswered goals. Once again Wiegman’s faith in her starting XI will be tested. While Wiegman’s side have been free-scoring throughout the competition, this looks like a real step up in opposition. For 90 minutes, all the talk of legacy and TV records will be shelved. While not exactly the force of old, the Germans boast a huge amount of experience and top-level nous, making it the most difficult final England could have been drawn. Destiny awaits Sarina Wiegman’s England side in just a few hours’ time.

She scored the only goal of their opener against Austria and she got the scoring underway in their semi-final against Sweden. If neither forward scores today the Golden Boot will go to Mead as she has more assists than Popp. We will find out if both start, it would be a shock if either didn’t, soon with the team news imminent! It is a different story for the Lionesses, they have never won the title but today they have the perfect stage in which to do so. Just for the record, for me this is a football match, the fact that it is women’s football is irrelevant. The team news is in and England and Germany are unchanged. Germany’s Alexandra Popp and England’s Beth Mead are level in the Golden Boot standings with six goals a piece. The level of skill and athleticism is out of this world! You’re also in my neck of the woods in the south west. I’ll be watching the final with friends, my girlfriend and 18 month old, who will be wearing a hopefully lucky kit. I feel so surreal seeing the huge crowds at Wembley for this final. I think it’ll be an absolute classics and finish 3-2 to England.” A lot of people predicting a high scoring final, what a thriller it would be if it is. I put this fun fact in the build-up blog but I want to pop it here too because I love it so much. Sarina Wiegman, England’s manager, has never lost a Euros match as a manager but Germany have also never lost a Euros final.

England face Germany in the final of Euro 2022 on Sunday.

Before the tournament, to play at a Euros, let alone score in one, signified a remarkable feat of perseverance. England kick off the final of Euro 2022. As Popp arrived into the box to score Germany’s opening goal against France in the Euro 2022 semi-finals, the sense of inevitability masked the wonder that it was happening at all. She runs at Kathrin-Julia Hendrich before cutting inside and curling a cross over to the back post for Ellen White.

Sarina Wiegman's team are at their best when they're able to dominate the ball, but that's also the way Germany play, and from what we've seen so far it's Voss-Tecklenburg's side that possess the greater tactical versatility.

The UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final is here and Wembley plays host as England face Germany in the showpiece event.

2hrs to kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final! If she does, they would be the first team in European Championship history (men’s and women’s) to name the same starting line-up in every game from the group stages to the final. If Popp scores again today, she'll be just the second player to score in every match from group stages to the final at a EUROs (after Michel Platini). 6th min: Lucy Bronze whips in a cross from the right and it forces goalkeeper Merle Frohms into an awkward catch on her goal line. A combination of Mary Earps saves and a couple of England blocks eventually sees the goalkeeper claim it. 18th min: England have another dangerous free-kick from the right and Germany's defence head clear for a corner off Bright's cross. Germany are just settling a bit now and enjoying more possession in the final third. White attempts to put her under pressure by following up and clatters into the shot-stopper... Germany may be unbeaten in Women's EUROs finals, but England manager Sarina Wiegman has an unbeaten record as coach full stop. England hold their breath as a German corner lands right in the middle of their six-yard box and it's a goalmouth scramble. 45th min: Stanway is late on a tackle again and she has to be careful here, already on a yellow. She takes a battering off the striker but there was no malicious intent there.

Despite tackles flying it she keeps her feet before a Germany defender came in to clear At the opposite end Germany have looked physical and ruthless. Germany have been very physical in the first half but only Felicitas Rauch has been booked. Moments later Ellen White is booked for dissent. Fans were then treated to a spectacular 4-0 win over Sweden in the semi-finals which saw them comfortably through to today's final. She has now won all eleven matches she has overseen in this competition, with her team having scored 20 goals while conceding just one this year.

England took the field at Wembley seeking its first European women's soccer championship. Germany was chasing a record ninth title.

The host should be the favorite. LONDON — Sarina Wiegman and her players know, deep down, that the most significant victory has already been won. But her getting three against a Germany team that has conceded only a single goal in the tournament would be a shock. Injuries had kept her out of the two previous editions, and a knee problem nearly ruled her out of this summer’s event, too. But it has been personally rewarding for a different reason: Until this year, Popp, 31, had never played a game in the Euros. She padded her goals total with a hat trick in England’s 8-0 rout of Norway in the group stage. It’s really easy to scoff at the brief, and mostly fairly ill-conceived, opening ceremonies UEFA and FIFA absolutely insist on holding, but that one felt pretty well-judged. 10’ Sara Dabritz gets Germany’s first great chance, controlling alone in the penalty area after a nice cutback finds her. And like clockwork, Germany’s rock-solid defense scrambles back two players to break it up at midfield. 38’ Just as Rory notes the game has slowed after 30 hard minutes, England breaks in and White whistles a shot over the bar. A yellow for Germany’s Rauch, who runs over Mead on the touch line. The game had, until that point, been threatening to drift from “fractious” into something closer to “brutal” as both teams did their best to stop their opponent playing.

Honestly the best moment of my career, best moment of my life. Wassmuth sent a low cross into the area, and Magull side-footed home at the near post to temporarily silence England fans. The legacy of this team is winners and that is the journey. Her right-footed shot clattered off the crossbar, before Schuller failed to turn in on the rebound. Germany almost went ahead in the 25th minute after a goalmouth scramble from a Magull corner. "Listen, the legacy of this tournament is the change in society.

It represents the most influential touch of her career to date, and there will be many more to come from the 24-year-old. There is every chance it will go down as one of the best goals to be scored in a women's Euros knockout game. She also made a game-saving intervention in the 114th minute, lunging to divert the ball behind as Svenja Huth attempted to squeeze it between her and the post. She deserves all the plaudits for two goals of immense quality, and importance, at this tournament. Not against England. Walsh won the day at Wembley. She picked the pocket of Lena Oberdorf and co at every opportunity and then had the presence of mind to look forward and pick a clever pass. Had a chance to break the deadlock in the fourth minute after being well found by Kirby at the back post. Unfortunately, after launching herself into a heavy tackle in the 64th minute she was forced off early but left the field to a rapturous applause from the crowd inside Wembley. She finishes the competition as joint top scorer, alongside Popp. England scored 22 goals at Euro 2022, a record by a team in a single edition of the championships (men's or women's) - Mead netted six of those. She was a useful out-ball when the Lionesses needed a willing runner, particularly in the second period. She worked tirelessly for the cause and had to remain disciplined after getting booked early in the first half. Wasn't so much of a threat going forward - certainly not as expressive as she was against Sweden - but had much more defending to do. Lina Magull nipped in front of her at the near post to poke home a cross from Tabea Wassmuth. But the goal cannot be attributed to the Chelsea defender's marking, it was a product of sustained Germany pressure combined with intricate wide play from Wassmuth and a well-timed run from Magull - arguably Germany's player of the tournament. It seems to be an opposition tactic to target the space between Bronze and Bright in the opening exchanges of games.

Chloe Kelly toe-poked the winner in extra time at Wembley as England beat Germany 2-1 for their first European Championship triumph.

Wiegman’s players were forced to come from behind against Spain in their quarter-final to progress and a more clinical Sweden could have done some serious damage in the first 30 minutes of the semi-final. England pushed for a second but, as the clocked ticked, they sank deeper and deeper. For England it was a chance to prove the gap between the European powerhouse and the home team had closed in the 13 years since their 6-2 final defeat at the hands of Germany. Germany almost took the lead in the 25th minute, with Mary Earps fumbling a corner that bounced around before she fell on it, relieved. It was a bruising exit for the enigmatic Popp, who has more than 100 caps but had never played in a European Championship before this because of injuries. Amid the carnival-like vibes were whispers of nerves and heightened emotions from those deeply invested in the development of the women’s game – including the families of some of the players who had ducked out of the ground to soak up the atmosphere.

Football was an intrinsic part of the nation's identity for years while women were excluded. After winning Euro 2022, they have reached the top of the ...

For those who have been following the dream for a while, it’s been quite a ride. For decades Germany has derided the English style of football as mere “kick and rush”. This was a perfect retort: a sublime long kick, and a rush that felt like nothing else on earth. Women officiating, women coaching on the touchline, women bellowing in the stands. And in a sense this was the perfect metaphor for women’s football itself, a game that for decades has always been on the cusp of something, some distant promise over the next horizon, a tomorrow that always seemed to get closer without ever actually arriving. There was a moment a few seconds before the end when England realised they were going to win. The second is a journey with no maps, no driver and no end in sight. It is a team of many stars and none: tournament top scorer Beth Mead, goalkeeper Mary Earps, captain Williamson, and rising stars Alessia Russo and Lauren Hemp are world-class in their positions but ultimately submitting their talent to the collective in the way of all great sides. On came the Manchester United pair of Russo and Ella Toone, opening the game up, giving England an injection of pace and elasticity they so badly needed. Naturally, it was nothing of the sort. And in front of 87,192 delirious, sweat-soaked fans at Wembley, they beat Germany 2-1 to become champions of Europe for the first time. The first, an undying struggle for resources and respect, for parity and a platform, is finally complete. And yet for most of that time women have been excluded from this club and its perks: shouted down and shut out.
