"Leah Williamson stated it was "slightly disrespectful" that Sweden had flown under the radar after a strong start to their Euro 2025 campaign, acknowledging their history of performing well at tournaments."
"Williamson recognized that England's quarter-final matchup against Sweden would be challenging, remarking, "Sweden are a fantastic team, they're relentless in the way they go about their game.""
Leah Williamson criticized the perception of Sweden being overlooked despite their strong start in Euro 2025. England advanced to the quarter-finals after defeating Wales 6-1, placing them second in Group D behind France. Both England and Sweden had high expected goals during the group stage, with England scoring 11 goals and Sweden 8. Pre-match predictions favor England slightly, yet Williamson expresses caution, acknowledging Sweden's consistent threat and historical performance. The upcoming match recalls their 2022 Euro semi-final where England won decisively 4-0, despite Sweden's previous unbeaten record against them in the Euros.
