Sheffield – The women's European Championship 2022 has caused enthusiasm in the past few weeks.

The tournament is now entering the home stretch.

The semifinals are coming up.

Hosts England take on Sweden at 9pm on Tuesday, before Germany meet France on Wednesday.

The English want to take the euphoria with them and make the first final since the EM 2009 clear, but at that time there was a 6-2 defeat against the DFB team.

At the 2015 World Cup, the 2017 European Championship and the 2019 World Cup, it was all over in the semi-finals.

However, the Swedes are also on a roll.

Nearly 30,000 fans will turn Sheffield's Bramall Lane stadium into a madhouse should the hosts reach Sunday's final at Wembley.

"We're so thankful that the fans are so supportive, whether it's at the stadium or at home.

We want to make everyone proud, to be an inspiration for the next generation," said Ella Toone, who saved England from imminent defeat against Spain in the quarter-finals.

The English association FA sincerely hopes that the period without a title since the men's World Cup triumph in 1966 will be ended by the women's team.

The course of the tournament so far definitely gives hope, because the English women walked through the group stage with three wins and 14-0 goals.

Coach Sarina Wiegman knows how it's done - five years ago she led the Dutch women to the European Championship triumph in front of their home crowd.

But Sweden also feels strong enough to reach the final, even if the home advantage speaks for the English.

"We need a good plan, maybe an extreme and very good plan," said Swedish coach Peter Gerhardsson: "It will be an interesting challenge for us."

Apart from the defeat against Canada in the Olympic final on penalties, the Swedes have not suffered a bankruptcy since March 2020, although they struggled against Belgium (1-0) in the quarter-finals and only scored the golden goal in added time.

But 34 shots on goal also showed that the Swedish team has a lot of offensive power.
