England and Italy go aside to the tip in Geneva for a spot in Euro 2025 decide

Women in England have the most difficult tests against their Italian counterparts on Tuesday if they want to go to the European Championship final.

This is because during six previous meetings of the tournament or qualifications, dating back to 1987/88, England never won.

A draw and five losses with a difference in goals of 13-6 in favor of the Azzurre means that the story is very contrary to the lionesses.

A small comfortable crumb on which the title champions could be able to shoot before the semi-final is that they were winners 5-1 in a friend of February 2024 against them in Spain.

In addition, Italy has never reached the final only twice in 1993 and 1997, losing both.

During their last appearance in the semi-finals, Italy was 2-1 against Spain in 1997; However, it was only their second victory in their last six equalities.

Last husband of Italy

It was only thanks to a winner of the 90th minute of Cristiana Girelli in their 2-1 victory against Norway that they were also able to progress in this year’s competition.

Her three goals in the tournament came to the Geneva stadium, where the semi-final takes place, and her quarter-final splint meant that at 35 and 84 days old, she became the oldest player to score two goals in a female match in the Euro final.

The 35 -year -old man, playing his last European championship and clearly wants to bow down at the top, is in a confident form.

“They are (England) reigning champions and we have great respect for them because they have players who can change the game when they wish,” She said.

“But we have a lot of faith that we can get a result against any team.

“He (Andrea Soncin, manager of Italy) always tells us to play with courage and play football because we have the quality of doing it, and the results and performance at the moment show that.”

England hardened by the battle is ready for the challenge

After the chaotic sparkle of victory in the quarter -final of England against Sweden, the first time that a team has canceled a deficit of two goals in an equality of Knockout for women, there is no doubt that Sarina Wiegman and her staff would prefer a much easier path in the show against Spain or Germany.

“I just think of the way this team has further overturned and how this team showed resilience”, “ She said after “mad” Match against the Swedes.

“Sometimes we say that we have never finished. Well, tonight, we have shown that we have absolutely never finished.”

The hemp Lauren accepted: “It just shows the depth of the team. We have a fantastic group of players – anyone can come to change a game. It’s amazing to have players like that in the group.”

It is this spirit without die that highlighted the race of England towards the semi-finals, and that they hope will serve them in good place as they seek to rewrite history.

Wiegman hoping for the hat -trick

Wiegman, in charge since September 2021, remains the only coach to win the euros with two different countries after his success in 2017 with the Netherlands, and hope to make a hat-trick of titles if his team continues to challenge the chances.

Until now, 13 different lionesses have presented themselves on the score sheet and, in doing so, England has become the first team to score more than 10 goals in three stages of distinct female euros groups, which previously did it in 2017 and 2022.

Alessia Russo, as planned, has found the net at the tournament, and is also currently common for most of the assists after establishing three goals against the Netherlands.

Lauren James, Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone each have a splint, although everyone is late on Spain Esther Gonzalez, who has four to date.

By coincidence, the two teams present themselves in their seventh semi, although England has reached this scene in four of the last five tournaments. They have also reached at least the semi-finals of each European female championship and the World Cup since 2015.

In four of the six previous participations in Italy in euros for women, they did not leave the group – and this includes 2017 and 2022.

Practically guaranteed objectives

Italy has opened the scoring in its four games to date in the 2025 tournament, and with the last 38 games of the England female final presented at least one goal, the lionesses should be on their care for a quick start.

For a number of reasons, there is another fascinating game in Prospect. Do lionesses come to their second succession final, or will the Azzurre take the path they have succeeded about 28 years ago? Game!
