Hosts England set for Sweden semi-final in Euros
BBC Sport says England will attempt to reach the European Women’s Championship final for a third time when they face 1984 winners Sweden on Tuesday.
The Lionesses, one of the pre-Euros favourites, have never won the trophy but their performances have raised expectations they could win a major tournament for the first time.
England thrashed Norway 8-0 in the group stage and reached the last four after coming from behind to defeat Spain in extra time.
Sweden, second in the Fifa rankings behind the USA and therefore the top-ranked team at Euro 2022, scraped through to the semi-finals courtesy of an injury-time goal against Belgium.
The match takes place at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane (kick-off 20:00 BST) and is live across the BBC.
