Wales excited for 'biggest rivalry' as they get set for England

Forward Hannah Cain says Wales' rivalry with England adds an extra dimension to Sunday's key group D know a victory over Wales will take them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2025, with Wales' hopes of progressing resting on an improbable four goal victory over England and the Netherlands losing to who was born in England and represented them at youth level, says a win would be "unbelievable," for Wales at their first major tournament."It's our biggest rivalry and something we are so excited for," Cain told BBC Sport Wales."A win for Wales could really upset the group and that is what we will go for."We know it could be historic for Wales and damaging for England and also we're not actually out of the group yet either, so we've also got that to play for." Cain says Wales' players have not yet accepted elimination from Switzerland, even though the odds are stacked against them."It's mathematically difficult, but it's not mathematically over," she said."As much as it could be devastating for England, it could be absolutely unbelievable for us. We won't be going into the game thinking anything other than play your heart out, leave everything on the pitch and I firmly believe that if we do that, we will get every opportunity to get the result that we want."England is the biggest rivalry that we have and for me it's exciting. I love it and I like the pressure that comes with it." Fellow forward Ffion Morgan says Wales want to show that they are "not just the little one next door," as they chase a first ever victory against a top 10 ranked nation."We're neighbours and Wales have always been the smaller country, or seen as the smaller country, and we're definitely not that," she explained."So from a Welsh point of view we want to show who we are and what we can bring. We're not just the little one next door, we are just as important as England and that's kind of the fire in our forward Lauren Hemp says the reigning champions will not take the threat of Wales lightly, despite them being the lowest ranked side in Switzerland."We definitely won't go into the game complacent," she told BBC Sport."Wales have done well in this tournament and deserve to be here. We have so much respect for them."They have a lot of great players who I have experienced playing against week-in, week-out in the Women's Super League."They have a good team but we also know we have a good team as well and have so many strengths. We have looked at their strengths and what we can do to make sure we can deliver the best England performance."
