England women's boss Sarina Wiegman conceded "it's a good time to be English" even after Gareth Southgate's men booked a trip to the Euro 2024 final at the expense of her native Netherlands. The Lionesses, who were successful in their quest for European glory two summers ago, on Wednesday night gathered in Norwich ahead of their own Euro 2025 qualifier with the Republic of Ireland to watch their male counterparts' final four meeting. Wiegman was as diplomatic as a retired 104-cap Netherlands player could possibly be when asked how it felt to watch Ollie Watkins' 90th-minute winner in Dortmund.
