The Netherlands looks to keep its Euro hopes alive on Sunday as it faces France in its group stage finale at the UEFA Women’s European Championship. France has already locked its spot in the knockout stage, but now has to focus on securing first place in Group D in order to have a better seeding in the quarterfinals.

Georgia Stanway says England are determined to “put things right” in their second 2025 European Championship match against the Netherlands and move on from the France defeat, which she described as “like a bad night out”.

The Lionesses, however, thought they had taken the lead inside 16 minutes at the Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich, only for Alessia Russo’s goal to be disallowed for a marginal offside ruling on Beth Mead. It was a decision England’s head coach described as a “huge surprise” — so what exactly happened, and why didn’t the goal stand?

England and France agreed Thursday to “coordinate” and “cooperate” with each other’s nuclear programs for their own safety and the defense of Europe.

England had their backs against the wall ahead of their clash with the Netherlands, but they delivered a performance of quality and determination, shredding the Dutch 4-0. Now a win over Wales would guarantee a spot in the quarter-finals, and the Welsh have understandably found the leap to this kind of level a step too far.

The marquee matchup, which France won 2-1, drew 690,000 viewers, a 329% spike from the previous group stage average.

In a game of soccer or any sport Wales always want to beat England. At the Women’s European Championship on Sunday, Wales can eliminate the defending champion English just with a draw in the final round of Group D games.

Forward Hannah Cain says Wales' rivalry with England adds an extra dimension to Sunday's key group D clash. England know a victory over Wales will take them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2025, with Wales' hopes of progressing resting on an improbable four goal victory over England and the Netherlands losing to France.
