In an impressive display of skill and teamwork, the England women's football team triumphed over Belgium, achieving a 5-0 victory in the Women's Nations League. This result builds significant momentum for the Lionesses as they prepare to defend their title in the upcoming Euro 2025 tournament. Coach Sarina Wiegman noted that “something is happening” within the squad and expressed her satisfaction with their recent performances.

The match at Ashton Gate saw England dominating the field from the start. With goals from Lucy Bronze and Millie Bright, followed by substitutes Aggie Beever-Jones and Jess Park, the team exhibited both determination and tactical prowess. Keira Walsh capped the night with her first international goal, reinforcing the team's confidence as they head toward the Euros opener against France on July 5.

Wiegman praised the team's ongoing development, particularly following a challenging end to 2024, which included losses to Germany and France. “We need to keep having these connections,” she affirmed, highlighting the importance of player synergy and effective communication on the pitch. England is currently at the top of Group A3, having bounced back from earlier results, including a draw with Portugal and a narrow victory over Spain.

As the team looks ahead to the Euro tournament, Wiegman is determined to capitalize on their progress: “If you get the opportunity to see many players that are knocking on the door and different combinations, that’s really nice,” she remarked. The Lionesses will also face competition from the Netherlands and Wales in their group, but their recent form suggests they are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
