England’s warrior Lucy Bronze pushes through pain to burnish her legend
Right-back has written herself into Lionesses folklore with her fearless performances despite a fractured tibia“It’s very painful,” Lucy Bronze offered up as her attempt to add the Understatement of the Year award to her European Championship winner’s medals. After a gruelling tournament ended with euphoria, the England defender could finally admit that she had been playing with a fractured left tibia. Apart from the odd grimace in matches and the need for medical treatment, no one would have known the right-back was carrying the injury. Was it worth it? “Absolutely,” Bronze said.Winning major honours is hard enough but doing so with only one fully functioning leg adds a level of extremity that would break the vast majority of sportspeople. Nor is Bronze the sort of player who breezes through matches, hiding from view; she is a marauding full-back, committed to every challenge, unwilling to show any weakness as she gets up and down the pitch to wreak havoc on opponents, whether defending or attacking.

England has finally found a way to banish all the 'years of hurt'. It’s called women’s football and the Lionesses | Ava Vidal
Even now, some want to downplay last night’s historic win, but the facts are plain. We yearn to be the best: palpably, our women are doing thatIt felt like deja vu when Chloe Kelly smashed the ball into the back of the net, winning the game for the Lionesses and signalling the end of the Women’s Euro 2025 final. England beat Spain after a tense penalty shootout. The word of the tournament was “resilience”, declared presenter Gabby Logan after the game. It is hard to argue with that.It was as though the team had written a list of milestones they were ticking off as the tournament progressed. They are the first English senior team to defend their title, and the first to win a major tournament on foreign soil. Their coach, Sarina Wiegman, simply said: “A team is what we really are. We can win by any means.”Ava Vidal is a standup comedian based in London and patron of the charity Show Racism the Red CardDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Lionesses head for for home; parade set for TuesdayEngland stun Spain on penalties | And mail DanielI really enjoyed the pithy detail in Sophie Downey’s player ratings:I wasn’t looking for comparators to the Lionesses, because there aren’t any, and even if there were, they merit celebrating on their own merits. But last evening, towards the end of extra time, the sense of unstoppable destiny I felt – of when you know the power of a team is celestial and supernatural – reminded me of watching Manchester United in 1998-99. And this morning, I’m reminded of something Alex Ferguson – of whom Sarina Wiegman reminds me, a lot – said of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s Champions League winner:The celebrations begun by that goal will never stop. just thinking about it can put me in party mood.

How to stop Viktor Gyökeres? ‘We’d have to foul him just to slow him down’
Opponents from the striker’s time in Portugal on how they attempted to contain Arsenal’s new signingStopping Viktor Gyökeres was arguably the greatest challenge in Portuguese football over the past two seasons. Every time the new Arsenal striker stepped on to the pitch, defenders, goalkeepers and managers braced for 90 relentless minutes. Across his two years at Sporting, he scored 68 goals in 66 league appearances – and added another 29 in other competitions. But what is it really like to face the Swedish forward? And how can Premier League teams hope to contain him?For Kewin Silva, the name stirs up difficult memories. In April, the then Moreirense goalkeeper was forced to fish the ball out of his net three times during one of Gyökeres’s standout performances for Sporting. Earlier in the season, the modest northern club had stunned the Lisbon giants with a 2–1 home win. Gyökeres did score from the penalty spot that day, but Moreirense’s defence managed to keep him quiet otherwise. In the return fixture, however, with the title race intensifying, nothing could stop him. Continue reading...

Euros win one of the most magnificent heists in the history of English sport | Jonathan Liew
Lionesses are escapologists who have secured what no other football team from these islands have before: a dynastyThey thought it was all over. Quite a few times, in fact. Written off after their opening game against France; knocked to the canvas in their quarter-final against Sweden; behind with seconds remaining of their semi-final against Italy; a goal down against the world champions in the final. England have cheated death so many times in Switzerland this month to have become basically uninsurable.But these Lionesses are also escapologists. And on a breezy night in Basel it was once again the strains of Sweet Caroline playing over the stadium sound system. Once again Leah Williamson holding aloft the European Championship trophy. Victory was secured on penalties against Spain, the final plot twist of what will surely be remembered as one of the most magnificent heists in the history of English sport. Continue reading...

Matildas hope to avoid potential pitfalls at Women’s Asian Cup draw
Tournament hosts Australia will avoid AFC heavyweights Japan and North Korea in the group stage but other tricky opponents awaitAustralia have begun a new era under head coach Joe Montemurro but are about to find out that life comes at you fast with the much-celebrated 2023 Women’s World Cup a distant memory and the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup now just seven months away. The continental tournament will be the second football showpiece on home soil in less than three years with the Matildas under pressure to build on the glorious heights of their semi-final run two years ago.Montemurro has a short runway to prepare for the tournament after taking the reins of the national side in June and immediately casting an eye toward the longer-term as much as the near future. But the focus will turn firmly back on the Asian Cup with the draw to decide the group stage and match-ups taking place on Tuesday evening. Continue reading...

Football transfer rumours: Chelsea and Manchester United battle for Kolo Muani?
Today’s rumours are the very modern manIt is very difficult to find a top quality No 9 in the game and with Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani available, a fun three-way battle could be heading the way of rumourmongers. Juventus have already had a bid rejected, although they are expected to return with a second offer. While they are crunching the numbers, Manchester United and Chelsea may sneak in with a superior financial package and steal the France international from under the Old Lady’s nose.João Felix is on his way out of Chelsea after making absolutely no impact at the club for a second time, leaving many to wonder why they bothered signing him in the first place. It looked as if he was heading back to his boyhood club Benfica but Al Nassr have stepped in with a €50m bid to lure the benchwarmer to Saudi Arabia, where he will join his international colleague Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.
