Wembley, 56 Years After
56 years after the World Cup 1966, England could again play Germany in a final at Wembley. The Lionesses defeated Sweden 4-0 in Thursday’s semifinal in Sheffield. On Wednesday France and Germany will meet in the second semifinal of the Euro 2022 at Milton Keynes.
The final will take place on Sunday evening!
The English women’s team have so far twice reached a Euro final, but are yet to win one. In 1984 they lost a two-legged final against Sweden in the penalty shootout, and in 2009 they lost 2:6 to Germany in Helsinki.
The men’s team have lost last year’s final at Wembley to Italy in a penalty shootout, and in 1996 the Three Lions were eliminated in the semifinal at the same venue (old Wembley Stadium) by Germany, also in a penalty shootout.
