<p>Sarina Wiegman's side face a must-win game at the European Championship after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-women-player-ratings-france-leah-williamson-jess-carter-epitomise-lionesses-atrocious-defending-sarina-wiegman-begin-euro-2025-historic-loss/blta134122682edfa95" target="_blank">opening up with a disappointing defeat to France</a>. The loss means the Lionesses can be eliminated from the tournament if they lose their next game to the Netherlands and France are not beaten by Wales in the group's other game.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>England's preparations for the tournament were rocked by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-villainised-england-retirement-euro-2025/blt4beb3f246711f4d0" target="_blank">Earps</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/millie-bright-opens-up-on-decision-to-snub-england-duties-euro-2025-prioritising-mental-health-tough-campaign/blt120b146c16df67de" target="_blank">Millie Bright</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionesses-retirement-fran-kirby-mary-earps-england-sarina-wiegman-euro-2025-squad/bltcc2245a5263b56e6" target="_blank">Fran Kirkby</a> all retiring from international football shortly before the start of Euro 2025. The announcements took many by surprise, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-villainised-england-retirement-euro-2025/blt4beb3f246711f4d0" target="_blank">Earps subsequently claiming she was "villainised" for her decision</a>. Yet the PSG star is still thinking of her former team-mates and posted a message to the team ahead of the big match.</p>
