England vs Netherlands live updates: Euro 2025 game buildup, team news and more

Starting a major tournament with a defeat is uncharted territory for Wiegman’s England. The last time the Lionesses were beaten in their opening group stage match was at the 2015 World Cup — against France.

England did recover in 2015 and reached the semi-finals, but they find themselves in a particularly tough group this time around.

Wiegman’s former side, the Netherlands, are up next, who impressed in their 3-0 win over Wales in the day’s earlier game. Matches between England and the Netherlands have been typically tightly-contested in the past, with a win apiece in the 2023-24 Nations League.

“I think everybody takes responsibility for themselves today,” Williamson said to ITV. “What areas could they have had an impact on the game more? I will. But then tomorrow, we have a new gameplan [against the Netherlands], different spaces available, a different type of opposition, but we’ll look at what we did today, and improve.”

Wiegman’s side will need to take all three points today to ensure their fate remains in their own hands heading into their final group fixture against Wales. If England loses to the Netherlands and France avoids defeat against Wales, the Lionesses will exit a major tournament at the group stages for the first time since Euro 2013.
