England internationals training ahead of Saturday’s EURO final in London. On Sunday evening it’s against Germany in a sold-out Wembley Stadium. Sarina Wiegman’s highly professional team has made a name for itself in a very short time and has inspired the whole country with their football skills, their intensity and their positive attitude on and off the pitch. The German players are looking forward to meeting hosts England in the final of the European Championship as the two teams share a long history and a great football rivalry, Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said on Saturday. And: “For me it’s football anyway, I don’t make any difference whether it’s a men’s game or a women’s game. It’s a football festival, both teams are rightly in the final. And that’s why I think everyone is happy millions across Europe will be watching. So again, if we could have dreamed it beforehand, we would have said exactly: We want to be in the final here at Wembley against England and nobody else.” “Yes, we’re definitely looking forward to it. And the stadium is impressive even when it’s empty. It will be the next big challenge for us, but we’re happy to face it,” said national player Svenja Huth. England fans are hoping the women can repeat what the men did last year when they knocked Germany out of the tournament in the last 16. Germany are eight-time European champions, while England are yet to lift the trophy after two runners-up. Will that change? Kick-off is at 6 p.m.
