France are on a high after beating England and Wales, but there is no room for letting up. Coach Laurent Bonadei made big calls ahead of the tournament, leaving out icons Wendie Renard and Eugenie Le Sommer, and he has so far been vindicated.

The Lionesses, however, thought they had taken the lead inside 16 minutes at the Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich, only for Alessia Russo’s goal to be disallowed for a marginal offside ruling on Beth Mead. It was a decision England’s head coach described as a “huge surprise” — so what exactly happened, and why didn’t the goal stand?

England midfielder Georgia Stanway said they "underperformed" in defeat by France but there is "no crisis" at Euro 2025.

England and France agreed Thursday to “coordinate” and “cooperate” with each other’s nuclear programs for their own safety and the defense of Europe.

England set a number of unwanted firsts as it began the defense of its Women’s European Championship title by losing to France on Saturday.

The midfielder added that England are looking to 'put things right' against the Netherlands in their second Euro 2025 match on Wednesday.

England's bid to defend their Euros title took a major hit, as France outclassed the Lionesses on a night where the midfield battle proved decisive.
