1 week ago England wildcard Michelle Agyemang in a hurry to make Euro 25 impact

Teenage forward scored on her debut for the Lionesses and is ready to make the difference in vital Netherlands game“It’s easy to look at the time and think there’s not enough left,” says England wildcard Michelle Agyemang. “That’s the beauty of the game. It only takes 10 seconds to make an impact. Any time is good enough for me so I’m grateful for that opportunity.” The 19-year-old forward is true to her word – it took her only 41 seconds to score on her England debut, reducing the deficit against Belgium from 3-1 to 3-2 in April. On Saturday, she was given four minutes of normal time against France to make a difference. She made an impact but, despite a battling final 10 minutes, the Lionesses couldn’t salvage a point.“There’s fire in the belly,” says Agyemang of the mood in camp since that opening-game defeat put their European title defence in jeopardy. “You can see that everyone’s willing to go and get the result that we need in the next game. It’s been the same goal from day on...

Norrie faces Alcaraz in quarter-finals after five-set epic‘These moments are the icing on the cake’Cameron Norrie said his ­spectacular run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals, where he will face the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, has been made even more satisfying by his recent struggles with form and injury, which led to him falling down the rankings.Norrie, the last British singles player standing, held his nerve to defeat Nicolás Jarry 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (7), 6-7 (5), 6-3 in an epic four-hour 27-minute battle to reach his second quarter-final at the All England Club. The left-hander had held a match point on his serve at 6-5 in the third set tie-break before Jarry turned the match around with his enormous serve, eventually forcing a five-set shootout.

1 week ago Ruthless France take advantage of Wiegman’s gamble on Lauren James | Nick Ames

Decision to play Chelsea forward left England outnumbered in midfield during damaging opening defeat at Euro 2025 The hour mark was approaching when Sarina Wiegman rolled the dice or, perhaps more accurately, reached for the comfort blanket. A salvage operation of this scale had not been part of anyone’s masterplan, but at least Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly knew exactly how to move the dial at a European Championship. They were the history makers at Wembley in England’s most recent appearance on this stage; if it was going to be anyone, it surely had to be them.There were to be no heroics this time, even if Selma Bacha’s late clearance was ultimately all that came between Wiegman’s players and a draw. That statement is, in itself, illusory because the manager must face questions about her selection here. She had plumped for Lauren James’s explosive gifts in the No 10 position, sticking to the claim that the Chelsea forward was ready to ramp up her recovery from injury, but the call ba...
