Women’s Euro 2025: England reach another final and await Germany or Spain – live
All the latest news and reaction from SwitzerlandTop scorers | Player guide | Mail TomSome reactions from within the England camp. Sarina Wiegman has described this run as “like a movie.I feel relieved, happy, it feels a bit surreal making a final again but we’re here, and now we need to recover a bit”. Asked what the secret to her tournament success is, she replied: “I’m the lucky one to work with so many good people, good players, good staff, but I also I think I’m always myself.”The teenager of the hour Michelle Agyemang heaped praise on the squad atmosphere. Her heroics, she said, were rooted in “the character of this team and my teammates.They have been so supportive because I’ve only been here a short amount of time, but every single person has taken me in. But I Didn’t think it would be this dramatic oh my goodness.”Legends are made on nights such as this. England’s travelling supporters celebrated deliriously long after the final whistle; huge sections of the venue had already dissolved into a mush of limbs when Agyemang struck. Those fans will be able to march proudly, expectantly, one last time before the tournament decider in Basel.Hundreds of them had assembled at a fanzone near Lancy-Pont-Rouge station to take the mile-long walk towards the stadium, counting down before setting off at 6.45pm to trumpets and beating drums. There had been plenty to entertain them while they waited, including an impromptu limbo dancing competition between tied-together English and Italian flags. This being Geneva, food stalls selling chips and hot dogs were joined by another offering oysters, salmon tartare and moules frites. Continue reading...

Football transfer rumours: Brentford exodus continues with Wissa to Newcastle?
Today’s rumours have left it lateBeing on a pre-season tour can make or break a player’s future. Yoane Wissa has left Brentford’s after the club turned down a £25m bid for his services from Newcastle, as he is eager to have a natter with the head honchos at the Gtech Community Stadium to sort out his future. The forward wants to test himself in the Champions League and does not want to be held back by something as minor as a club being unwilling to pay his full valuation. It is expected that the Magpies will up their offer in the coming days to a fee in the region of £30m plus add-ons. The Bees are not particularly keen on losing another striker days after selling Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United.Mateo Joseph has told Daniel Farke and Leeds that he wants out of Elland Road. The Spain Under-21s striker did not travel with the rest of the squad for their pre-season jaunt to Germany. Joseph was the subject of a bid in excess of £10m from Real Betis but Leeds want more for their young striker. “He came to me and to us and said that he wants a new challenge and would like to have a move,” Farke said. “He has also hinted that he prefers a move to Spain due to his Spanish roots. And yes, obviously that was more or less his call.” Continue reading...

England fans made to sweat on another hair-raising night of drama for Lionesses | Nick Ames
After the nail-biting Sweden quarter-final, it was the same again as England somehow battled back to beat Italy and reach the Euro 2025 finalThis time they needed only one penalty, although even that came with complications. England are through to the Euro 2025 final and, in keeping with the white-knuckle nature of their tournament, that tells only a fraction of the story.Sarina Wiegman’s team were moments from losing against an unfancied Italy who had played the role of underdog to perfection, holding on to their first-half lead with an exemplary tactical performance. England looked down and out until Michelle Agyemang, the young Arsenal striker, seized on a loose ball and finished clinically in injury time. The Lionesses had got out of jail again and the breaks did not end there. Continue reading...

Kelly and Agyemang fire England into Euro 2025 final after comeback against Italy
Remember the name. Remember the day. Chloe Kelly may have scored the winner, poking in the rebound from her saved penalty deep into extra time but it was Michelle Agyemang, whose surname literally translates as “saviour of a nation” who stepped up when it mattered most, scoring the goal to keep England in it against Italy and force extra time.The banner held up in the small block of Italians fans behind the goal read “football’s coming to Rome” – “home” bruisingly crossed out – and for much of the 90 minutes it looked like it was, until wonderkid Agyemang’s late strike forced 30 more minutes and Kelly stepped up to deliver the late extra time winner.

Euro 2025 semi-final updates from the 8pm BST kick-offFull draw | Top scorers | Player guide | And email ScottYou could argue that Italy are betting with house money tonight. According to our pre-tournament preview, their realistic aim was to “reach the knockout stage and if they succeed they will look to make their mark among Europe’s elite”, so in that respect all of their goals have already been met. England, as defending champions and second favourites, don’t have that free-hit luxury. “I suspect we’ll have some sort of an idea of what kind of evening we’re in for after about 62 seconds,” writes Adam K. “I’m hoping England are switched on from the start this time.”If England are to progress, they’ll need to keep tabs on Cristiana Girelli. The veteran striker has scored 61 goals for her country in 122 appearances, the last two coming last Wednesday to secure victory against Norway. Sophie Downey profiles Le Azzurre’s talisman.

Germany coach warns his players that they will ‘have to suffer’ against Spain
Head coach, Christian Wück, expects Spain to dominateGermany head into semi-final missing four key playersThe Germany coach, Christian Wück, has said his players must “do a lot of chasing” and “suffer” in order to beat Spain in Zurich on Wednesday and reach the Euro 2025 final.Spain, the world champions, are clear favourites after winning all of their four games in Switzerland, scoring 16 goals. Germany lost 4-1 to Sweden in the group stage and had to go the distance against France in the quarter-final, winning on penalties despite having had Kathrin Hendrich sent off after 13 minutes.

Big-spending Liverpool aim to build on their Premier League title success | Andy Hunter
It appears a radical departure by FSG to build so ambitiously from a position of strength, while sending an ominous warning to their rivalsAlmost £300m worth of talent added to a squad that cruised to the Premier League title last season and Liverpool may not be spent yet. Whatever they’re smoking in Boston is having an unusual effect on a global fanbase.Big-spending Liverpool, blowing competitors from Bayern Munich to Newcastle out of the water with their pulling and spending power, may be a strange reality for supporters who not so long ago sang: “The Reds have got no money, but we’ll still win the league.” The chant can be retired now that the first part is demonstrably untrue. It always was. Continue reading...

Women’s Euro 2025: England v Italy, semi-final news and buildup – live
All the news before the big match at Stade de GenèveMail Tom | Russo’s rise | Italy icon Girelli | Power rankingsTime was when an England semi-final would be a standalone Event, a relative rarity, something to force a nation to sit up. Now, it feels utterly routine, across both the men’s and particularly the women’s teams. So today we count down to the Lionesses’ sixth consecutive major tournament semi, though the manner of their progress has been lacking in serenity and over-full of drama. Let’s face it, England were not the better team in their quarter-final against Sweden – just as they weren’t in their opener against France – but their resilience, belief and strength off the bench proved crucial and here we are.They’re up against an Italian side who have probably exceeded expectations this summer and have certainly been good to watch. Excellent and deserving winners against a star-studded Norway last week, they’ve also given Spain their toughest game so far. Talking of the world champions, we’ll also be keeping an eye on the buildup to their semi-final tomorrow against Germany, another side who like England have progressed through digging in and shootout-related pandemonium.

Manchester City’s record £1bn deal with Puma and the value beyond bottom line
The 10-year contract is worth £1bn but it has also opened the door to increase the club’s global profile with other lucrative partnershipsManchester City had a billion reasons to celebrate the new kit deal with Puma announced last week, yet beyond the bottom line the value of the contract may prove priceless.The Guardian has learned that the 10-year deal, worth £1bn, contains clauses giving the German sportswear manufacturer options to extend the partnership way beyond that, but most significant to City may be what Puma’s endorsement and huge financial commitment say to independent brands and the Premier League about the club’s value.

What is the longest gap between European top-flight football derbies? | The Knowledge
Plus: Isaac Price’s strange goalscoring record, strange trophies and who remembers Rodrigo Defendi?Mail us with your questions and answers“Paris FC’s promotion means that Paris will have its first Ligue 1 derby since 1978-79. Is there any European city that has had a longer gap between top-flight derbies?” queries Steve Whittaker from Frankfurt (which hasn’t had a top-flight derby in the Bundesliga era).We’ve touched on this before, many years ago, when we found a 44-year gap between the meeting of Hertha Berlin and FC Union and a 48-year wait for FSV v Eintracht in Steve’s home city. However both derbies reconvened in the second tier and don’t count here. So it is well worth us having a drill down into some top-flight derby deserts. The 46-year wait for Paris bragging rights to be earned is indeed a long one, particularly for a capital city.Valencia had no derby between Valencia and Levante in La Liga between 10 January 1965 and 8 January 2005 (40 years).Berlin had no Bundesliga derby between 1977 (Hertha Berlin v Tennis Borussia Berlin) until 2019 (Hertha Berlin v Union Berlin – 42 years). There were Berlin derbies in the old East German league, but teams from West Berlin would not have been able to participate in those.Cologne has no league derby since 1974 (FC Köln v Fortuna Köln) but those two did meet in the 1982 DFB Pokal Cup, but that doesn’t count. So the gap is active at 51 years.Finally, Naples has never had a Serie A derby at all. To get close to one, you need to venture back to the pre-Serie A days of 1921 when the Italian Championship involved a series of mini-leagues leading to a final round-robin. In the last round before it entered the final phase in 1921, three teams from Naples played each other in a mini league – Bagnolese, Internazionale Napoli, and Naples Foot-Ball Club. Bagnolese have since dissolved, and the other two merged in 1926 to form what is now Napoli. So that could be 105 years and counting. Continue reading...

Lionesses stumble into final through blind luck but Agyemang offers glimpse of future | Jonathan Liew
This generation of great England footballers has had its time with Wiegman’s staunch loyalty to the class of 2022 exposing limitationsHannah Hampton is up for the corner. It’s the fourth minute of injury time in the Euro 2025 semi-final. Every England player bar Chloe Kelly is within 20 yards of Italy’s goal. And as blisteringly underwhelming as England have been all night, this is still a team with an unerring sense of their own narrative, a belief in themselves, a taste for the dramatic climax.The noise builds to a roar. The roar builds to a scream. Kelly puts her corner straight into the side netting. Hampton hangs her head and gallops back into more familiar territory. End of the road. England are done.

‘Disrespectful’: players hit out at Conmebol over issues at Copa América Feminina
Having to warm up in cramped rooms with opponents, along with no VAR at the group stage, shows just how much needs to be done before the 2027 World Cup in BrazilIn Europe the summer has been marked by record attendances, a smooth operation and some outstanding performances at Euro 2025. But the picture from the 2025 Copa América Feminina, played in the South American winter, is less rosy with criticism from players, coaches, fans and media regarding the poor organisation, low attendances and questionable refereeing.With the fiasco of the Copa Libertadores Feminina last October, another tournament blighted by organisational problems, fresh in memory the hope was that Conmebol would raise their game for this year’s Copa América in Ecuador. However, the tournament feels years behind its European rival and that is worrying in the extreme as the continent prepares to host its first Women’s World Cup, in Brazil in 2027.This is an extract from our free weekly email, Moving the Goalposts.

Football transfer rumours: Manchester City to win race for James Trafford?
Today’s fluff is naming its priceManchester United are stopping at nothing in their efforts to win the transfer gossip column inches Club World Cup. With the summer-long saga of Bryan Mbeumo’s future finally settled in their favour, they’ve set about linking themselves with a whole range of new targets. Among them, Nicolas Jackson. The Senegal forward has been nudged down Chelsea’s pecking order in recent months but United reckon he could be just the man to illuminate some mid-table scraps. According to the Metro, United have intensified their interest in Jackson but Chelsea will want a whopping £80m-plus to top up their profit and loss stats. Jackson has rebuffed Milan and Napoli but wants to stay in the English top flight.Also in Ruben Amorim’s sights is Emiliano Martínez. With André Onana ruled out for the start of the season, United need some goalkeeping resource and Aston Villa’s Argentinian World Cup winner fits their needs. Villa, however, will want at least £40m.
