Group D, known as the group of death, is full of star teams whose players are among the biggest stars in women's football. This was proven on their previous match day, where we saw Vivianne Miedema score her 100th international goal. And not one of them was from a penalty. Who to focus on today?

The Netherlands - Daphne van Domselaar

Arsenal's number one only recently arrived in North London, but she has already fought her way to the top spot and helped the Gooners win the Champions League title. She is also the clear first choice for the Dutch national team. She didn't have much work to do in the first match against Wales, but today she will have to work harder against England. Especially since England's star striker is her Arsenal teammate Alessia Russo.

England - Grace Clinton

The young player did not enter the match against France until the 77th minute. But she quickly showed Sarina Wiegman that benching her was a mistake. The Euro debutant had a very successful season at Manchester United, scoring 8 goals in 21 games and helping the Red Devils qualify for the Champions League for the first time.

France - Élisa de Almeida

The PSG defender caught the eye in the match against England, where she put in an outstanding performance and did not allow striker Lauren Hemp to get a single shot on goal. In addition, as a defender, she had a few very nice actions that could have ended in a goal. De Almeida showed that she can score beautiful goals in the Nations League against Switzerland, for example.

Wales - Ffion Morgan

Wales is considered the underdog in the group of death, but that doesn't mean there aren't any great players on their team. Among them is Bristol City striker Ffion Morgan, who is definitely ready to give the French defense a hard time. She has scored six goals in 18 WSL 2 games, which is a very good scoring record.

The European Championship began a week ago, and the first quarterfinalists are slowly emerging. Today, Sweden and Germany, Spain and Norway may be joined by France or the Netherlands if they manage to win. However, The Lionesses are definitely not giving up. We can look forward to some exciting matches.

On the seventh day of Euro 2025, Group C will take center stage once again. Germany, weakened by the absence of captain Gwinn, will face Denmark, led by Pernille Harder. Sweden, who won their opening match, will take on Poland, who are making their debut in the competition. Here is today's selection of players to watch.

Sweden - Nathalie Björn

At Chelsea, she forms a center-back pairing with Millie Bright, and she shone in the derby against Arsenal, with her performances earning her the Blues' Player of the Season award. She also put in an amazing performance in the opening match against Denmark, where Sweden kept a clean sheet, and we can expect her to continue in the same vein against Poland. Probably with her traditional center-back partner Magdalena Eriksson.

Poland - Kinga Szemik

Poland did not have an easy time against Germany in their opening match, but they managed to keep a clean sheet until halftime. Kinga Szemik deserves credit for this. The trained psychologist will have a tough time today against the very experienced Swedes. However, she knows their strikers Blackstenius and Rytting Kaneryd well from the WSL, which could be an advantage.

Germany - Jule Brand

The scorer of Germany's first and absolutely beautiful goal in the championship will certainly want to make her mark again against Denmark. At 22, Brand has had a very respectable career. She is leaving Wolfsburg for Lyon, where she certainly did not come to warm the bench, and her performance so far confirms that a big star is heading to France.

Denmark - Sara Holmgaard

he plays for the Danish team alongside her twin sister Karen, with whom she has played in all clubs so far. Now their paths are diverging, as Sara is leaving for Real Madrid. Not only her decent performance against Sweden in the first match showed that the Madrid scouts were right and that a good player is heading to Spain.
 

Time has flown by, and we are already on the seventh day of the European Championship. The Germans, weakened by the absence of captain Gwinn, who unfortunately got injured in the first match against Poland, will face the Danes. Sweden will face debutants from Poland. The question remains whether teammates from Barcelona will meet on the pitch. On one side is Poland's captain Ewa Pajor. On the other is Fridolina Rolfö (since yesterday former Barcelona Player), whose start is still uncertain.
