Who Looks Good Going Into The Euros With Showtime In England?
Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji
All eyes next week will be on the CONCACAF Women’s Championship, but don’t sleep on the Euros, which should be a dream competition for neutrals and fans alike.
More Details
England is hosting this year’s tournament, from July 6-31.
The usual suspects for tournament favorites include 2020 silver medalists Sweden, hosts England, club game powerhouse Spain, and dark horse Italy.
Sweden proved resilient on Tuesday against Brazil. After falling behind 1-0 off a strike by Debinha, the Swedes came back in quick succession to win the match in front of their home crowd 3-1.
England dominated the Netherlands over the weekend, 5-1, and will have their final tune-up match against Switzerland today.
Spain dropped seven goals on a rebuilding Australia on Saturday but will have a much firmer test against Italy before the Euros kick-off.
