Lionesses Thrash Netherlands 4-0 in Zurich Euro 2025 Group Match

The England Lionesses secured a crucial 4-0 victory over the Netherlands in their Women’s Euro 2025 group D match in Zurich, greatly improving their chances of advancing to the quarter-finals after a tough opening loss to France. Lauren James starred with two goals, supported by Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone, while the team's defensive adjustments helped contain Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema. The win was celebrated passionately by the 'Barmy Army' of England fans, who filled the Letzigrund stadium and took to Zurich's pubs afterward, creating a vibrant atmosphere of support. The Prince of Wales, a longtime patron of the Football Association, attended the match, enthusiastically cheering on the Lionesses and reaffirming his support. England's head coach Sarina Wiegman urged her team to focus on their performance despite the pressure of a must-win game, facing her native Netherlands with which she won Euros in 2017. England now look forward to their final group game against Wales, aiming to maintain their momentum and stay in the tournament.
