England vs Sweden

England are into the final of the European Championship after a 4-0 victory over Sweden with goals from Mead, Bronze, Russo and Kirby.

If anyone deserved to get in on the act, it was Kirby. After everything she has been through, nobody would have blamed her if her speculative effort from distance had gone nowhere, but after an awkward bounce it ended in the net. Fortunately, the sky had turned black, and the night was all but over from a Swedish perspective. This was an occasion that called for the attack behind Ellen White to use their imagination and Kirby, in particular, has it in abundance. At 2-0, England were sat deep, holding on for dear life when two saves in as many minutes – the second at full stretch – thwarted the danger. Just as Spain showed in the last eight, squeeze hard enough and it is possible to cut off England’s blood supply. Sweden targeted the space between Lucy Bronze and Millie Bright, Jakobsson had time to get her shot away, and were it not for the legs of Mary Earps Sweden would have broken some hearts.

Being the top-ranked team in the Euros meant that expectations of Sweden were always going to be sky high. Not in the UK right now? Russo in particular has done everything in her power to earn a starting role. Daly had a torrid night against Spain's Athenea del Castillo in the last round, and is likely to be targeted by Kosovare Asllani, who's been one of the tournament's brightest stars. After freewheeling their way through the group stage, Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses were pushed to within an inch of their lives last week, and the Blågult will feel that they've got the tools to make them pay.

Ellen White is emotional for a reason, the support, interest and growth of the game is amazing. England eventually clear their lines but Sweden have started dangerously. It looks like it will come to nothing but from an angle which defies belief she is able to produce a backheel which nutmegs the 'keeper. Growing up the boys didn’t want to play with a girl, the coach of the boys team would never play me. It's her sixth goal of the tournament and gives England a great platform in this semi-final. The ball is flashed across the face of goal and just evades the boot of Ellen White - Lucy Bronze picks up the pieces and crosses for Beth Mead to turn and find the back of the net. Fran Kirby gets the goal she deserves as she tries to chip the 'keeper, she gets a hand to it but is unable to lift it over the bar and the ball lands in the back of the net. Mary Earps produces a moment of magic to keep out a certain goal - superb reflexes from the England 'keeper to maintain a two goal lead. Fran Kirby manages to produce some creativity when England do get the ball and forces a corner from which Lucy Bronze manages to squeeze a header home. Special praise for a brilliant creative performance from Fran Kirby and a marvellous cameo from Alessia Russo which saw her score a goal of the tournament contender. It was a memorable night for English football, with a brilliant performance from Fran Kirby and a moment of genius from Alessia Russo the highlights. England beat Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night with a stunning performance to reach the final of Euro 2022.

So it's going to be a totally different game, very different from Spain because they have a different style of play, but we've prepared." And we just hope we do our style of play and that gives us the win." I think we are very strong and we can handle the setbacks." m. m. m. m. m. m. m. m. m.
