The 2009 championship match has been the last time the two rivals have met at the Euros. However, Germany has England’s number in the tournament, winning all six matchups. They competed in the first championship match back in 1984, losing to Sweden. In their second appearance in 2009, they fell to Germany in the middle of their impressive win streak. Dating back to their history under the West Germany banner, Die Nationalelf have never lost a championship match at the Euros, posting an 8-0 record. The star’s sixth goal of the Euros ended up being enough, as Germany would go on to their ninth final with a 2-1 win. In their semifinal match against France, Captain Alexandra Popp continued to shine, scoring first in the 40th-minute. England poured it on in the second half, with Lucy Bronze, Alessio Russo and Fran Kirby finding the back of the net.

2hrs to kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final! If she does, they would be the first team in European Championship history (men’s and women’s) to name the same starting line-up in every game from the group stages to the final. If Popp scores again today, she'll be just the second player to score in every match from group stages to the final at a EUROs (after Michel Platini). 6th min: Lucy Bronze whips in a cross from the right and it forces goalkeeper Merle Frohms into an awkward catch on her goal line. A combination of Mary Earps saves and a couple of England blocks eventually sees the goalkeeper claim it. 18th min: England have another dangerous free-kick from the right and Germany's defence head clear for a corner off Bright's cross. Germany are just settling a bit now and enjoying more possession in the final third. White attempts to put her under pressure by following up and clatters into the shot-stopper... Germany may be unbeaten in Women's EUROs finals, but England manager Sarina Wiegman has an unbeaten record as coach full stop. England hold their breath as a German corner lands right in the middle of their six-yard box and it's a goalmouth scramble. 45th min: Stanway is late on a tackle again and she has to be careful here, already on a yellow. She takes a battering off the striker but there was no malicious intent there.

The team made some adjustments during the semifinal with winger Klara Buhl unavailable due to Covid protocol, and there is a possibility she could return for the final, but the inclusion of Jule Brand in the front line only showed off Germany's depth across their roster this tournament. Meanwhile, the tournament hosts England defeated Sweden in a lopsided 4-0 victory that marks the return of the Lionesses to the Euros final for the first time since 2009 when they also faced Germany. England will face Germany in the 2022 UEFA Women's Euro championship final on Sunday as the two titans of the women's game battle for the title of Europe's best.

It's England vs. Germany for the final of the 2022 UEFA Women's Euro, which takes place at Wembley Stadium in England on Sunday, July 31 (7/31/2022).

Last year, the FA signed a three-year deal for broadcast rights to the Women’s Super League, increasing funding and exposure for the game. So all of this is helping,’’ Newsham said of the funding. The women’s game flourished during and for a few years after World War I, when teams like Dick, Kerr Ladies Football Club filled the sporting gap created as top men’s players went off to the trenches to fight. “It’s not that long ago that girls, you know, top players, were paying for their own travel to get to matches and then having to get up to go to work the next day. Women organized their own football association in 1969, and soon after the FA ended its ban on women. “We want to inspire the nation,’’ Wiegman said after the team’s semifinal victory. Now the women’s team has a chance to do something the men haven’t done since 1966: Win a major international tournament. That helped push total tournament attendance so far to 487,683 — more than double the record of 240,055, according to tournament organizer UEFA. Instead there is teamwork, artful passes and stunning goals like Stanway’s 20-meter (22-yard) screamer in the quarterfinal victory over Spain and the backheel from Alessia Russo in England’s 4-0 semifinal win against Sweden. The odds of a draw are +225. The march to Sunday’s final against Germany has energized people throughout England, with the team’s pinpoint passing and flashy goals attracting record crowds, burgeoning TV ratings and adoring coverage.

England took the field at Wembley seeking its first European women's soccer championship. Germany was chasing a record ninth title.

The host should be the favorite. LONDON — Sarina Wiegman and her players know, deep down, that the most significant victory has already been won. But her getting three against a Germany team that has conceded only a single goal in the tournament would be a shock. Injuries had kept her out of the two previous editions, and a knee problem nearly ruled her out of this summer’s event, too. But it has been personally rewarding for a different reason: Until this year, Popp, 31, had never played a game in the Euros. She padded her goals total with a hat trick in England’s 8-0 rout of Norway in the group stage. It’s really easy to scoff at the brief, and mostly fairly ill-conceived, opening ceremonies UEFA and FIFA absolutely insist on holding, but that one felt pretty well-judged. 10’ Sara Dabritz gets Germany’s first great chance, controlling alone in the penalty area after a nice cutback finds her. And like clockwork, Germany’s rock-solid defense scrambles back two players to break it up at midfield. 38’ Just as Rory notes the game has slowed after 30 hard minutes, England breaks in and White whistles a shot over the bar. A yellow for Germany’s Rauch, who runs over Mead on the touch line. The game had, until that point, been threatening to drift from “fractious” into something closer to “brutal” as both teams did their best to stop their opponent playing.

A champion will be crowned Sunday night at Wembley Stadium. Will it finally "come home" for England?

Both sides have sharp goalscorers in the mix for tournament golden boot, as England's Beth Mead and Germany's Alexandra Popp are both level with six goals apiece.

Honestly the best moment of my career, best moment of my life. Wassmuth sent a low cross into the area, and Magull side-footed home at the near post to temporarily silence England fans. The legacy of this team is winners and that is the journey. Her right-footed shot clattered off the crossbar, before Schuller failed to turn in on the rebound. Germany almost went ahead in the 25th minute after a goalmouth scramble from a Magull corner. "Listen, the legacy of this tournament is the change in society.

Popp started out as a full back at now-defunct FCR Duisburg and won her first European club title aged 18. After missing the 2013 and 2017 European Championships with injuries, Popp is making up for lost time as the joint top scorer with England’s Beth Mead on six goals.

Euro 2022 as a whole will be easily the best-attended ever. Kickoff from Wembley is at noon Eastern.

The goalscoring issues go back to earlier this year. But no matter the situation at halftime, expect head coach Sarina Wiegman to have this team locked and loaded out of the locker room, ready to leave no doubt about the final result. Facing adversity against Spain, England rocketed to the finish line with incredible pressure, producing nine of their 10 shots on target after the 60th minute mark. They were second-best for large swaths of the semifinal win over France, especially down the stretch in the final minutes of the game, only surviving thanks to the opponent's extremely poor finishing. The wins against Norway and Sweden are true statements of intent: two extremely high-quality opponents with decorated players were put to the sword in dominant fashion. Germany are right on their heels, though, having similarly powered through the competition en route to Wembley.
