England Crush Wales 6-1 to Reach Euros Quarter-Finals

England secured a dominant 6-1 victory over Wales in their final group stage match of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, with goals from Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp, Alessia Russo, Beth Mead, and Aggie Beever-Jones. Despite this commanding win, England finished second in Group D after France's dramatic 5-2 comeback win against the Netherlands, which placed France at the top. Finishing second is seen as potentially advantageous for England, as it means they will face Sweden in the quarter-finals rather than a tougher route involving Germany and possibly Spain. Sweden, ranked just below England, pose a significant challenge, having topped their group with a strong win over Germany. This altered knockout path has sparked discussion about whether finishing first or second is preferable, with some fans relieved by the safer bracket. England will now look to extend their impressive tournament form as they prepare for the quarter-final against Sweden.
