A goal difference of 14-0, including an 8-0 drubbing of Norway proved that the hosts&#8217; challenge for the title was serious. In the quarterfinals England conceded their first goal, but 2 late strikes from Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway helped them overcome tournament favorites Spain and booked a semifinal spot where once again the hosts&#8217; team effort and dominance proved too hard to handle for Sweden in an eruptive 4-0 win, including a superb back heel goal from Alessia Russo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alessiarusso7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@alessiarusso7<\/a>, that is ?????????? ?\u200d?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WEUROVision?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WEUROVision<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WEURO2022?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WEURO2022<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HisenseSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hisensesports<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i0BMDsxoa9\">pic.twitter.com\/i0BMDsxoa9<\/a><\/p>\u2014 UEFA Women&#8217;s EURO 2022 (@WEURO2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WEURO2022\/status\/1552051383838203909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Martina Voss&#8217; Nationalelf also finished top of their group grabbing 9 points from 9 possible and also without conceding a goal, setting their goal difference at 9-0 including a 4-0 win over Denmark. In the quarterfinals, Lina Magull and Alexandra Popp&#8217;s goals were enough to sink Austria and n the semifinals France were swept aside as Popp rose to the occasion once again with a wonderful brace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead of the highly-anticipated head-to-head clash at Wembley, both teams have high hopes of lifting the coveted trophy. The Lionesses have been runners-up on two occasions before, once in the inaugural tournament in 1984 where they lost on penalties to Sweden, and once again in 2009 in a one-sided 6-2 defeat at the hands of their upcoming rivals. The fact that this specific team is looking better than any team we&#8217;ve ever seen from England&#8217;s ladies combined with the backing of the home crowd is making everyone once again dream that &#8220;It&#8217;s coming home&#8221;. But of course if, a year ago the same could have been said for the Men&#8217;s team, and we all know how that one ended&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany on the other hand are firm favourites. After not participating in the first two editions of the Women&#8217;s Euros, they have been ever present in the following 11, including this year, and out of the other 10 tournaments they have won 8! In fact, their Women Euros Finals record is a perfect 100% success rate with 8 wins from 8 finals played. The only 2 times when the German Women&#8217;s National team participated in the Women Euros and didn&#8217;t win it were in 1993 where they finished 4th and the previous tournament (In 2017) where they surprisingly crashed-out in the quarterfinals. Here&#8217;s another alarming stat for England: In the previous 27 official meetings between the two, Germany have won 21 times! England have only won twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">27 &#8211; England have faced Germany on 27 previous occasions and have won only twice, losing 21 times (D4).
