England stand on the brink of greatness. The European champions are one victory away from being the best team in the world. However, this has not been an easy tournament for Sarina Wiegman and her players.
While the Euros saw emphatic victories – the best being 8-0 vs Norway and 4-0 vs Sweden in the semi-finals – and exultant home support, England have got into gear in a slower, more controlled way in this tournament (they did beat Sunday’s opponents Spain 2-1 in extra time in their toughest match in 2022 excluding the final, in case anyone had forgotten, but that was a rather different Spain team).
