Reigning Champions England Lose 2-1 to France in Women's Euro Opener
England's defense of their Women's European Championship title began with a 2-1 loss to France, marking the first time a reigning champion has lost its opening match at the tournament. France's Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore scored quick goals near the end of the first half, while Keira Walsh scored late for England but it was insufficient to avoid defeat. The loss also ended England coach Sarina Wiegman's perfect record in the Euros, which included 12 consecutive wins with the Netherlands and England. England struggled with an offside call that disallowed a goal by Alessia Russo, sparking fan controversy over the marginal decision. The Lionesses now face a difficult path to advance from their tough group, with upcoming matches against the Netherlands and Wales. France aims to secure a knockout stage spot with a win over Wales, while the Netherlands lead the group after a 3-0 victory over Wales.
