After meeting in the quarterfinals of the Women's Euro in 2022 (England 2, Spain 1) and again in the final of the 2023 Women's World Cup (Spain 1, England 0), another tournament comes down to England vs. Spain today in Basel, Switzerland.
This time, Spain is a massive favorite over the Lionesses, as oddsmakers expect Spain to dominate.
It's worth noting, though, that in the semifinals, Germany managed to keep Spain scoreless and force extra time despite allowing Spain to dominate the possession and shots battles.
England's ability to generate late goals is the biggest reason they've reached Sunday's final.
The reigning Euro champs took down Sweden in PKs in the quarterfinals after trailing 2-0 for 75-plus minutes before equalizing with goals in the 79th and 81st.
In the semis, England trailed Italy until the 96th, when sub Michelle Agyemang forced extra time just before the final whistle.

England vs. Spain Betting Analysis
England are better in the midfield than anyone Spain has faced in this tournament. Still, I expect La Roja midfielders Aitana Bonmati, Patricia Guijarro and Alexia Putellas to win their battle vs. the English trio of Georgia Stanway, Keira Walsh and Ella Toone.
The latter group helped England keep the possession battle in the 2023 Women's World Cup final respectable, with Spain controlling possession just 56-44. But Bonmati was the only Spain starter in her team's starting XI that day, as Guijarro was not in that squad and a hobbled Putellas came on late as a sub.
The question today is whether (and when) Spain will be able to turn control of the ball into quality scoring opportunities and/or goals. Switzerland held Spain scoreless until the 66th in the quarterfinals, and Germany managed to shut out Spain despite allowing a slew of shots, including several big chances.
England vs. Spain Pick, Best Bets
To me, oddsmakers are giving this scrappy England side too little credit, as I expect Spain to win, but not dominate. If you like England to keep this close (we've seen in the last two rounds how hard it is to pull away from anyone in knockout soccer), there are a few tempting plays we recommend.
Given that Spain's last two matches were 0-0 at halftime, the halftime draw at +120 (DraftKings) is well worth a look. Related, "first half correct score 0-0" is also enticing, especially at +210 at FanDuel.
Yet another tempting pro-England bet would be the Lionesses in the double chance market. If you'd like to make a low-risk play on the underdogs A) getting a stunning win in 90 minutes or B) grinding out a draw, "England or tie after 90 minutes" (+105 at DK) is worth a sprinkle.
Personally, though, I think Spain will find a way to win this game in 90, though I wouldn't be surprised if England keeps a clean sheet for 60 minutes or longer.
Taking the heavy favorites on the three-way moneyline is not the boldest way to go, but it's the safest play here, in my opinion.
For some upside, let's also go with the halftime draw at +120 and parlay a halftime draw with a Spain win in 90 minutes for a big payout at nearly 4-to-1 odds.
Best bets:
Spain three-way moneyline (-135 at DraftKings) -- 1 unit
First half three-way moneyline draw (+120 at DK, FD) -- 0.75 units
Half time/full time: Draw/Spain (+390 at FD) -- 0.25 units

Red Bull Confirms Yuki Tsunoda's Future Will be Decided After Summer Break

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Red Bull Racing senior advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed that Yuki Tsunoda's performance will be evaluated after the summer break, which will decide his future with the team. Tsunoda's current Red Bull contract expires after the current season. The Japanese driver was promoted from Racing Bulls to Red Bull after the Chinese Grand Prix, replacing Liam Lawson, who was demoted to take his seat in the junior F1 team. Despite the positive move for Tsunoda, he has struggled to adapt to the RB21 F1 car, much like Lawson and his predecessor, Sergio Perez. Red Bull's challenger is reportedly suited to Max Verstappen, and thus, his teammates have found it difficult to get used to an otherwise sensitive car. Despite securing just 7 points in the 12 rounds since his promotion, the positive point for Tsunoda is that he is getting closer to Verstappen's pace. The previous Hungarian Grand Prix weekend saw him get knocked out in Q1 in qualifying, but his pace was three-tenths off of Verstappen's, who qualified in P8. Tsunoda ended up starting from the pit lane due to an engine penalty, as Red Bull fitted a fifth power unit in his RB21 exceeding the prescribed limit of 4 power units. Marko explained that the decision to swap power units in Hungary was a strategic one. He said: Yuki Tsunoda of Japan and Oracle Red Bull Racing on the drivers parade prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 03, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Yuki Tsunoda of Japan and Oracle Red Bull Racing on the drivers parade prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 03, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary."Because he would have to change at maybe Monza or Zandvoort. And I think because of his starting position, it was strategically better to do it here." The 82-year-old advisor confirmed an improvement in Tsunoda's pace in qualifying as he closes the gap to his four-time world champion teammate. He added: "He was as near as never before, one-tenth he was behind. But unfortunately, he was dropped out in Q1. He's moving up." However, Tsunoda's future with Red Bull is still unclear for the 2026 season. Marko confirmed that the team is looking at all aspects for a future decision. He said: "Our driver evaluation traditionally takes place after the summer break. At the moment, everything is open. We're looking at performances – both positive and negative." Tsunoda opened up about the challenges he faces with the car, but remains confident about overcoming them. He said: "I didn't see yet so far the driver who probably got used to it in that car straight away. So that's probably the fact. But at the same time, I feel I'm in the right direction, at least on the short runs. "Also in terms of the whole package, I know there's something to come as well into this year compared to Max. So once I get the full package, I still have good confidence that I can be in a level that they want. That's what I'm working hard on. "In terms of the long run is exactly the place that I'm still probably struggling at, but I'll find a way. I saw a couple of driving styles that I can try that I never tried in my career in Formula 1. It's just the learning stuff."

Roman Anthony Return? Red Sox Reveal First Lineup After $130M Extension

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It was easily lost in the excitement of the Boston Red Sox rookie's extension, but Roman Anthony is dealing with a minor injury concern. Anthony was scratched from the Red Sox lineup moments before their season opener against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. It was classed as "mid-back tightness," and the 21-year-old was held out of action on Tuesday as well. Wednesday had been a joyous day already in Red Sox Nation, as Anthony agreed to an eight-year, $130 million extension, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. But a fast return to the lineup was the cherry on top. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 11: Roman Anthony #19 of the Boston Red Sox walks to the plate during the first inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Raysat Fenway Park on June 11, 2025... BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 11: Roman Anthony #19 of the Boston Red Sox walks to the plate during the first inning of a game against the Tampa Bay Raysat Fenway Park on June 11, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. MoreIn advance of the 7:10 p.m. ET first pitch against ex-Red Sox starter Michael Wacha and the Royals, MassLive's Chris Cotillo published the Boston starting lineup to X. "Roman Anthony is leading off tonight with Dustin May making his Red Sox debut," Cotillo wrote. "Anthony LF, Bregman 3B, Story SS, Duran CF, Gonzalez 1B, Abreu RF, Yoshida DH, Rafaela 2B, Wong C" Anthony became Boston's regular leadoff hitter against right-handed pitchers on Jul. 27 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has an on-base percentage of exactly .400 in his 46 games since his June debut. Meanwhile, the Red Sox will look to sweep their second consecutive series at Fenway Park, where they've won 16 of their last 18 games. They're only three games out of first place in the American League East, after trailing by as many as 10 1/2 games earlier in the season. Life is pretty good for Red Sox fans right now, and Anthony showing no ill effects from the back issue would be the best possible follow-up to the news of the extension.
