England’s Beth Mead says head coach Sarina Wiegman has made ruthlessness “part of their DNA” as they prepare to face Sweden for a place in the final of the Women’s Euro 2022 tonight.
The Lionesses reached 100 goals in just 18 matches under Wiegman with last week’s dramatic quarter-final win over Spain, but they will have to buck a trend at Bramall Lane tonight, having failed to get beyond the final four at their last three major tournaments.
