After comfortably escaping the potentially challenging Group D, England will play Sweden in the quarterfinals of Euro 2025.
Sweden defeated Denmark, Poland, and Germany to win all of the points and take first place in Group C. With a 4-1 victory over a team regarded as one of the top four candidates to win the trophy this month, they defeated Germany in the most spectacular match.
With just one goal given up in their three games, Peter Gerhardsson’s team had the best defense in the group stage. Our Euro 2025 team advanced to the group stage thanks to goalie Jennifer Falk and center defender Nathalie Bjorn. After a dismal start, England rallied to take second place in Group D. The Lionesses may benefit from their 2-1 loss to France because it means they can play tournament favorites Spain as early as the final.
Sarina Wiegman’s team defeated Wales 6-1 and the Netherlands 4-0, both of which were devastating. England will be confident after scoring ten goals in their last two games, but Sweden has advanced to the semi-finals of their last three major competitions.
