‘I have said England will win Euro 2025 from the start’published at 14:54 British Summer Time 27 July
England v Spain (17:00 BST)
I have said England will win Euro 2025 from the start and I am not changing my mind now.
I’ve not just been backing them blindly as they have gone through the tournament either. They’ve essentially been playing knockout football since losing their opening group game to France, but have had the mentality to solve every problem they have faced.
Their progress has not exactly been straightforward but Sarina Wiegman keeps coming up with a way of winning, and I believe she will do the same against Spain.
It is going to be extremely close, of course, because there is so little between the two teams, but I think the Lionesses will win by one goal.
After needing penalties in the quarter-finals and extra-time in the semi-finals, this time I can see them getting the job done in 90 minutes.
Brown-Finnis’ prediction: 2-1
