Wales, almost eliminated, wants to finish the Women’s European Championship well against England on Sunday. Star player Jess Fishlock promises to make an attempt to help the Netherlands.
Wales lost 4-1 to France on Wednesday, leaving the European Championship debutant with zero points after two matches. The Netherlands lost 4-0 to England, which means elimination is looming for coach Andries Jonker’s team.
The Netherlands must hope that England loses points against Wales in the final round. If England wins, the Netherlands must beat France by three goals on Sunday to reach the quarter-finals.
“The match against England is extremely important for us,” Fishlock emphasized after the defeat against France to the NOS. “We want to end this European Championship with a highlight. We will not give up against England.”
“We scored our first European Championship goal against France and perhaps the first European Championship victory will follow on Sunday,” said goal scorer Fishlock, who realizes that Wales can do the Dutch national team a huge service.
“It’s nice to still have an influence on the group. The Netherlands can know that we will do our utmost on Sunday. Promised. There is no need to doubt that. It is an important match for us anyway because of the rivalry with England.”
