What England and Wales need from Women's Euro 2025 clash to qualify for next round
Two home nations will battle it out for a place in the Women's Euro 2025 knockout stages. England and Wales will face each other at 8pm on Sunday in the Swiss city of St Gallen in the final game of Group D at the tournament. A win against Wales - the lowest-ranked team in the tournament - would be enough to book defending champions England a place in the quarter-finals. But it is not going to be easy. Wales have form when it comes to showing up against England. During their 2018 World Cup qualifier, they held out against the Lionesses to frustrate them in a goalless draw. The Welsh also have work to do in order to stay in the competition, the first ever major tournament the team has qualified for in its history. Use our slider below to see what both teams have to do in order to remain in with a chance of the Euros 2025 title.

Wales finally wins after 19 rugby tests and 644 days
KOBE, Japan (AP) — Wales' misery is over. Wales finally won a rugby test and snapped an 18-match international losing streak when it held off Japan 31-22 on Saturday. The Welsh looked like they were going to blow it again when their 24-10 lead was cut to 24-22 by Japan with 17 minutes remaining. But Wales used a Josh Macleod ruck turnover to get back into the Japan 22 and pressure and desperation earned a 74th-minute try for flyhalf Dan Edwards. The first-time test starter converted his try and was a perfect five-for-five off the tee. The nine-point margin and sterling defense in sweltering heat were finally enough to get Wales to fulltime, when it celebrated with hugs and cheers. Many of the team had never tasted victory for Wales. Wales had gone 644 days since its last win in October 2023 against Georgia in the Rugby World Cup. It's 18-match losing run left it tied with France's losing streak from 1911-20 as the longest by a major team in test rugby history. ___ AP rugby:
