dreams. game to go out there after the world cup semi—final defeat in 2019, results dipped, but sarina wiegmanch took thejob 19 games ago, the lionesses are unbeaten. they have scored a remarkable 104 goals with just four goals conceded. victory on sunday would seal an astonishing turnaround in fortunes in under a year in thejob. most of all what we wanted to do, of course, to make a difference, to have done, a little bit. we just hope we do really well and win the game and have a party afterwards. is it "coming home"? that's something english, too, i learned. i know the fans are singing it in the stadium, and it's really nice because we get so much energy from our fans, and they have supported us so well. i hope we win the trophy. let's keep it with that. a wembley showdown against germany in front of the largest crowd seen for a women's european final. if that doesn't inspire a generation, nothing will. natalie pirks, bbc news. and our sports editor dan roan is here with me now. so much top quality sport, we are spoilt for choice.— spoilt for choice. absolutely. ever since we knew— spoilt fo

i think serena wiegman's done a fantasticjob. yeah.s got the experience there. these fans, these players, in serina they trust. it's been less than a year she's been in thejob, but the impact she's made is clear. 13 years it had been since england had been in the final of a major tournament. who would bet against them now? natalie pirks, bbc news, sheffield. last night's match was watched by a peak television audience of 9.3 million on bbc one with a further two million in streams online. that goes to show the real swell of support around the nation for this team and how their performance at this home euros has really captured the imaginations of many. the jubilant scenes that women's football craved. across the country, from trafalgar square to pubs in bristol, millions of fans roared in support of the lionesses as they swept sweden aside. going through my mind was, because, when i'm older i want to be a footballer, so i was looking at how they were celebrating and thinking of how i was going to celebrate. with only 63% of schools cur

sarina wiegman testing positive for covid. that's ri . ht.nager will be leading out the team. this is effectively a dead rubber because england have already qualified. also, sarina wiegman will be able to give instructions from her hotel room to the assistant coach. this is a matter of pride for northern ireland. yes, their success really is getting to this tournament because they are the lowest ranked country in the euros, and most of the players are not professional footballers. 13 of them play in the irish league, which is not professional. only two have professional. only two have professional contracts. for them to get here and score their very first goal in a major tournament has been a huge success and their manager kenny shields said he thinks england are going to go on and win this tournament, but regardless, they will want to make their mark against another home nation country. so it is a matter of pride for northern ireland. kick—off is in a few hours and there are relishing the challenge. and there are relishing the challenge-— an

keeping an eager eye away from the cameras was head coach sarina wiegman.h manager played it typically cool. most of our youth talk about pressure all the time and we talk about football. so what we're trying to do is just play football, play at our best and try to use our strengths and try to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent. close! and the rebound is in! norway know this all too well. record—breaking, _ history— making, barnstorming performance from england. the last time england were in brighton, the 8—0 thrashing was a euros record which sent a clear message to their rivals. what a night. but as swashbuckling and ruthless as that performance was, spain will be a step up in class. they might have lost a couple of players to injury but they dominate possession. patience will be key. wednesday, tomorrow is the biggest game on horizon and after that, you know, we will see where we are and hopefully it will be the semi and then the final. so, yes, it is easy to put to the back of your mind when you're here but yeah, it's definitely something i've been

after the world cup semi—final defeat in 2019, results dipped, but sarina wiegman�*s reign has been transformativer a year in thejob. final question — and i know you love this phrase — but is it coming home? that�*s something english too, i learned. i know the fans are singing it in the stadium, and it�*s really nice because we get so much energy from our fans, and they have supported us so well. i hope we win the trophy. let�*s keep it with that. a wembley showdown against germany in front of the largest crowd seen for a women�*s european final. if that doesn�*t inspire a generation, nothing will. natalie pirks, bbc news. i�*m joined now by our sports editor dan roan. we�*re spoilt for choice, aren�*t we? for quality sport. so much to look forward to. _ for quality sport. so much to look forward to, reeta _ for quality sport. so much to look forward to, reeta just _ for quality sport. so much to look forward to, reeta just after- for quality sport. so much to look forward to, reeta just after the i forward to, reeta just after the captivating opening ceremony last night there has been so much act

the team's head coach sarina wiegman was holding the lionesses last news conference before the game ande team had prepared to get to this stage. we want to get all these experiences, so what we are trying to do before this tournament, in the preparation to try to figure out, what can we expect on and off the pitch? and if you prepare really well, then you... some of those situations will occur, too, and we at least know how we can react on that and how we can take that. i think the team has done really well and i think we even, we grew throughout the season but i think we grew even more in this competition so far. the england captain was also at the news conference and described the enormity of tomorrow's final. i think what we have seen in the tournament already is that, you know, this hasn'tjust been a change for women's football but society in general, how we are looked upon, and i think tomorrow is not the end of a journey but the start of one. and i think, regardless of the end result of that game, there will be a nice moment for reflection. naturally, it is myjob to go out for 90

they missed some chances in that game at old trafford but head coach sarina wiegman insists they're not being the host, i think about the game and how we want to play and the strength of our team that we want to show tomorrow, so it's all about football and tomorrow and what's norway like, how do we prepare for that game and how can we bring our best game on the pitch tomorrow? england held on for a consolation victory in the third twenty20 against india despite a sensational century from suryakumar yadav at trent bridge. england set a target of 216, thanks to a swashbuckling 77 offjust 29 balls from dawid malan. in reply, the tourists were 31/3 after five overs before suryakumar�*s 48—ball ton — his first for india — gave them real hope. but it wasnt to be. chrisjordan closed out the final over with a final ball wicket as india ended on 198/9. england winning by 17 runs but losing the series 2—1. he's a man on fire — america's xander schauffele picked up his third successive victory after topping the leaderboard at the scottish open at the renaissance club, just east of edinburgh. the

while england have never won the euros, they have a manager who has winning with holland, sarina wiegmane a solid, experienced side. but england are scoring forfun. solid, experienced side. but england are scoring for fun. goals from across the team with eight against norway. and i can watch this alessia russo backheel forever. i think england can go into this final with a lot of confidence. it has been an incredible tournament for england are more important, a showpiece for the women's game. thank you. let's take a look at some of today's other news. spain has announced a second death from monkeypox, one person has also died in brazil — these are the first known deaths outside africa. there have been more than 20,000 cases worldwide recorded in the current outbreak. last week the world health organization declared monkeypox a �*global health emergency�*. at least 19 people have died, including six children, following flash flooding in the us state of kentucky. hundreds of homes and businesses have been submerged in the flood water and the state's governor says he expects the death toll

mean the stars in the squad are quickly becoming household names, but the woman in charge, sarina wiegmanords what it would mean for women's football in this country if the lionesses were to win on sunday? i think it would be a landmark moment, as far as i'm concerned, for women's sport, for women's football, but probably most importantly for the players. i mean, sarina has done an outstanding job as head coach. she is remarkable. she's a one—off. she's very special. i enjoyed it... ten years to the days since london 2012 began, there is a real determination to harness the legacy of this home euros, acknowledging that youngsters inspired by alessia russo's moments of genius or mary earps's gravity—defying deflections need to be able to play the game they've fallen in love with. the second semifinal is coming up later, that is between france and germany and the lioness will be watching at their hotel behind me to find out who they will be playing on sunday in a final that is set to break records. a sell—out crowd at wembley will be the biggest attendance any euros final as england's women
