ST. GALLEN, Switzerland — In a game of soccer or any sport, Wales always wants to beat England. At the Women’s European Championship on Sunday, Wales can eliminate the defending champion English just with a draw in the final round of Group D games. Group leader France plays the third-placed Netherlands at the same time.

A place in the quarter-finals is up for grabs as defending champions England and tournament debutants Wales go head-to-head.

Wales captain Angharad James said the motivation to beat England and knock the holders out of Euro 2025 is “in our blood and DNA” as the rivals prepare to meet in the final round of the group stage.
