England had a surprising start with a 1-1 tie against Sweden. However, they recovered nicely with a 2-0 triumph over the Republic of Ireland. If they are victorious tonight, they will take first place in the group. Their rivals tonight are France, who have won both of their matches with 1-0 scores against Ireland and Sweden. The French team is eager to maintain their perfect record against the current European champions.

Stay tuned for all the updates during the Euro 2025 qualifying match between England and France.

In the Euro 2025 qualifiers, England will play against France.

The Lionesses managed to secure a draw against Sweden in their previous match before successfully defeating Republic of Ireland in their most recent game.

Mary Earps had to leave the game due to an injury that occurred early on and had to be substituted.

The 68th minute marks a very exciting moment for France as Katoto successfully scores a goal and brings them into the lead. The score now stands at ENG 1-2 FRA. This is a significant event in the game and the French team must be feeling quite pleased about it.

At the 45th minute and 3rd second mark, there was a great save made! Peyraud-Magnin stopped Mead's shot right before the halftime break. The score was tied at 1-1 between England and France.

In the 41st minute, De Almeida managed to score the equalizing goal by hitting the ball on the volley, leading to a tied score of one goal for both England and France.

In the 33rd minute, Hampton made a brilliant save by jumping towards the left side to stop Lukrar from scoring. As a result, England is currently leading France 1-0 in the match.

The Lionesses take the lead with Mead's composed finish after 30 minutes of play (England 1-0 France).

In the 23rd minute, there was a missed opportunity as Toone made a curling shot that went wide for England. The score was still tied at 0-0 against France.

It is currently 9:53 PM according to Mike Jones.

As the clock hits 90+3 minutes, France has now shifted their focus to managing the game. They are holding onto the ball, preventing England from getting any opportunities, and using up the remaining time.

Is it possible for the Lionesses to generate another opportunity?

At 9:51 pm, Mike Jones wrote the blog.

There are an additional five minutes of extra time left to play after the game ends. England has a chance to tie the score in those five minutes.

At 9:47 PM, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

In the 86th minute of the game, Kelly and Bronze cooperate within the penalty area, while the right-back moves gracefully into the six-yard box. She attempts to serve the ball on a platter for Russo, but Lakrar manages to come back and stop the ball from being passed to her.

At 9:43 PM, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

After 83 minutes of play, De Almeida passes the ball over the England defence with a well-executed chip. However, Diani is a bit offside as she tries to dash into the open space. At this point in the match, France is dominating and it's up to England to generate some offense late in the game.

At 9:40 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

After 80 minutes into the game, Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly entered the field for England, receiving a thunderous ovation. The players who made way for them were Beth Mead and Georgia Stanway.

Will the replacements make the proper effect for Sarina Wiegman?

At 9:39 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

With only 77 minutes left on the clock, England is running out of time. France is doing a good job of keeping their lead and defending their goal without much trouble.

At 9:35 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

In the 74th minute of the game, Katoto committed a foul against Stanway inside the French half. If Katoto had not fouled, France could have had a higher chance of winning the game. The English team then passed the ball to the right side and attempted to make a pass through the French defense.

The ball is extremely weighty and Russo doesn't have any possibility of reaching it.

It's currently 9:32 PM according to Mike Jones's latest update.

After 71 minutes, it seems England require a reaction. Can they elevate their performance and find a new level?

The task for Hemp on the left is complete as she delivers a great cross towards the center of the box. Mead manages to connect with the cross using her head, but unfortunately, her shot goes wide of the closest post.

After 68 minutes, England faced a major setback.

England once again didn't handle the set piece correctly. The ball is played in again and Russo heads it to the edge of the box.

The English team took their time to advance forward, allowing Diani to pass the ball over to Katoto. With quick reflexes, she shot the ball on a turn and skillfully placed it into the corner of the far bottom of the net.

At 9:27 PM, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

After 66 minutes, England put up a commendable performance. They executed some smooth passes that got the ball to Georgia Stanway, who was in the box. She had an opportunity to attempt a shot but instead opted to pass it out to Lucy Bronze.

Bronze kicked the ball in a diagonal direction hoping to find Alessia Russo, but Pauline Peyraud-Magnin jumped to catch the ball in mid-air.

At 9:23 PM, Mike Jones wrote in his blog:

After 63 minutes, Beth Mead stepped up to take a corner for England. She tried to find a teammate with her curled set piece, but unfortunately couldn't. Fortunately, Lucy Bronze was able to retrieve the ball and maintain possession for the Lionesses.

at 9:22 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog

It has been 60 minutes since the game started at St. James' Park. The Republic of Ireland is currently losing against Sweden in the other group match today. This indicates that England and France will still maintain their higher rank in the table if the scores remain the same.

If England were to lose, they would fall to third place.

After 57 minutes, the performance from England improved significantly. They appeared to have more confidence and managed to maintain control, particularly evident when executing passes between Leah Williamson and Millie Bright in the back.

Bright sends a lengthy pass to Georgia Stanway situated on the right wing. Upon receiving the ball, the midfielder secures a throw in.

Rewritten: At 9:14 PM, Mike Jones wrote the blog post.

After 54 minutes, Hemp placed a corner kick with a curving trajectory towards the box where Russo was positioned. She used her head to direct the ball towards the goal but Millie Bright blocked the attempt. This resulted in France successfully avoiding any potential scoring threat.

The second half of the game has seen England make a good start.

At twelve minutes past nine in the evening, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

In just 51 minutes, Leah Williamson moves forward to intercept the ball before making an impressive pass out to the left wing, leaving plenty of space for Lauren Hemp to run into.

As the game played on, Hemp made a bold move and skillfully kicked the ball towards the middle of the field, curling it expertly in towards the goal. The ball was only met by Alessia Russo as she desperately tried to catch it but unfortunately, Wendie Renard also got in the way, appearing to be a hindrance and causing the ball to go flying over both their heads.

Sandie Toletti was gifted the ball by England after they made a careless mistake in possession. With France in control, Toletti made her way to the front of the box, where she skillfully maneuvered around the area while maintaining possession, before unleashing a powerful low shot straight into the waiting hands of Hannah Hampton.

At 9:03 pm, Mike Jones wrote in his blog.

England is currently leading in the statistics department, with more ball possession (56% compared to 44%), higher number of shots taken (6 as opposed to 4) and a greater number of touches made inside the box (15 to 7). However, the crucial statistic to note is that both teams have only managed to score one goal each.

Sarina Wiegman will have the ability to detect the indications that her team is capable of winning this game. However, England will have to step up their game to ensure an effortless victory.

England And France Tie At Half-time

At 8:51 PM, Mike Jones wrote on the blog.

At the 45+5 minute mark, the teams were evenly matched with no clear advantage. Although England began the match sluggishly, they managed to rally and take the lead with a goal by Beth Mead.

During the final third of the game, France seemed to be lacking inspiration until Elisa De Almeida decided to take a risk and execute a volley from a corner, ultimately scoring the equalizing goal.

There's still a lot of opportunity for both teams to win in the second half.

It is currently 8:50 PM, according to Mike Jones.

Wow, Pauline Peyraud-Magnin did a great job! Lucy Bronze skillfully advances the ball and then passes it to Beth Mead. Beth confidently takes the ball and moves it towards the goal, where she looks to the left and expertly curves the ball towards the far post.

Peyraud-Magnin positions herself and jumps to the right before pushing the ball away from the target!

At 8:46 PM, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

The game has been extended by an extra five minutes due to Mary Earps' injury at the beginning of the match.

Jess Carter was penalized for pulling Delphine Cascarino's shirt during the match. The French team was in a position to make a counter-attack, and the defender took action to prevent the situation from escalating.

At 8:44 PM, the author of this article is Mike Jones.

In the span of 44 minutes, England has been consistently attempting to send Lauren Hemp through the lines. However, their central midfielders, namely Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone, have been repeatedly missing the mark with their passes to her. This has given Elisa De Almeida the chance to easily gain possession of the ball.

"England Equals France With De Almeida's Goal "

At 8:41 PM, the blogger with the name Mike Jones wrote a section.

Wow, what an amazing goal that was!

The ball is launched from a corner of France towards the center of the box. Keira Walsh fails to prevent Elisa De Almeida from separating herself and perfectly striking the ball mid-air.

She kicks the ball a little bit late, but despite that, she still successfully puts it into the highest corner, making it impossible for goalkeeper Hannah Hampton to catch it while flying. This goal helps France catch up to the other team.

At 8:40pm, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

It's been 39 minutes and France almost made it happen. They initiated a counter attack with Kadidiatou Diani leading the way by driving the ball towards the goal. Diani then passed the ball to Delphine Cascarino who sent a cross into the middle of the box.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto raises her leg and successfully reaches the ball, however, her shot goes too high and misses the goalpost.

As per the timestamp, it is currently 8:35 pm according to Mike Jones' observation.

It has been 36 minutes and England's team is looking to score another goal to feel more comfortable. Even though they are currently winning, the players have had difficulty finding a consistent flow and are only displaying brief moments of talent and speed.

A diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Eating healthy also helps to maintain a healthy weight, which can help prevent a host of health problems including joint pain, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Maintaining a healthy diet can help keep our bodies functioning properly and reduce the risk of serious illnesses. This can be achieved by consuming foods that are good sources of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, and by avoiding processed and sugary foods that can cause problems. A healthy diet can also help control our weight and prevent health issues like joint pain, high blood pressure, and sleeping problems.

Can France bounce back after conceding a goal? This question arises after 33 minutes into the game.

They earn a corner kick which is passed by Selma Bacha into the center of the penalty box. The intended recipient is Maelle Lukrar, who powerfully heads the ball towards the goal.

Hannah Hampton skillfully moved to her left and successfully blocked the ball, preventing it from entering the goal. Her impressive action resulted in a fantastic save.

England Leads 1-0 Against France

At half-past eight in the evening, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

In just 30 minutes, the Lionesses have managed to score and take the first position in the game!

Lauren Hemp scores a goal by swiftly moving into the box from the left. After receiving the ball, she makes another move by redirecting it towards the center where there is ample room available.

Ella Toone aims to receive the pass but is obstructed. However, the ball manages to pass to Beth Mead who controls it and smoothly kicks it into the goal past the goalkeeper!

At 8:28 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

In just 26 minutes, Millie Bright makes an impressive cross-field pass that reaches Lauren Hemp on the left wing with precision. The England team takes advantage of this and advances towards the goal, passing the ball along the perimeter of the penalty area.

Alessia Russo maneuvered her way behind Maelle Lukrar and got a hold of the ball, eventually firing a powerful strike over the upper edge of the goal.

At 8:23 PM, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

After 23 minutes of play, there was a near miss! Russo managed to regain the ball in an advanced position and passed it to Hemp, who was inside the box. Hemp then made an inward pass to the middle of the box, creating an opportunity for Ella Toone to strike the ball immediately.

She tries to pass the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately, the direction of the ball is outside the far post.

At 8:22 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Ella Toone requests a free kick after a handball committed by France within their half. However, the referee does not grant the request and allows the game to continue as England aggressively progresses forward. Georgia Stanway maneuvers the ball and sends it over to Lucy Bronze who is positioned on the right side. The defender skillfully launches a tempting pass towards the penalty area.

She's looking for someone to play with, but Pauline Peyraud-Magnin gets to the ball before her and manages to handle it without any trouble.

At 8:19 PM, the author (presumably named Mike Jones) wrote this blog post.

In 20 minutes, Sarina Wiegman appears contemplative while on the sidelines. She is clearly reflecting on her team's performance and it doesn't seem to be a source of satisfaction for her.

France hasn't been able to perform well enough in the attacking zone. Although they've been dominating the game, their failure to score is hindering their success.

At 8:16 pm, Mike Jones wrote in the blog section.

In just under twenty minutes, Walsh attempted to pass the ball through the center of the field to set up Hemp for a play. However, Elisa De Almeida thwarted her efforts by blocking the forward, giving Pauline Peyraud-Magnin ample time to retrieve the ball.

At 8:15 PM, Mike Jones wrote this blog post.

The initial 15 minutes were sketchy, and that's the most accurate description of it. England strived to attain ball possession while France attempted to assert themselves over the Lionesses.

Both teams are being stubborn. Currently, Kenza Dali is closely marking Keira Walsh, making it difficult for England to move the ball forward.

At 8:12 PM, Mike Jones wrote the blog post.

It's been 12 minutes and England hasn't fully engaged in the game. They're committing some basic errors while France aggressively attacks. Alessia Russo gets a free kick in France's final third, providing a chance to pass the ball towards the box.

Beth Mead crosses the ball and searches for Millie Bright. The defender in the middle jumps to hit the ball with her head, but unfortunately, she cannot reach it.

At 8:09 pm, the blogger named Mike Jones wrote the following post.

In just 9 minutes, Hannah Hampton substituted Mary Earps, who had to leave the pitch due to an injury. The England team kicked the ball towards the left and it was collected by Lauren Hemp who was standing near the box. She then passed the ball to Jess Carter, who unfortunately faced some difficulties while running.

France has successfully cleared their area of any potential danger by removing obstacles or hindrances that may have caused harm or interference.

At 8:07 PM, Mike Jones wrote:

In just six minutes, Mary Earps had to make a quick clearance up the field but suddenly stopped. Unfortunately, she couldn't continue playing because she was very uncomfortable. As a result, Sarina Wiegman had to substitute her off the field.

Hannah Hampton is preparing on the edge of the field. Except for the injury, England's defensive performance is lacking as Leah Williamson and Millie Bright seem to be struggling to keep up.

At 8:04 PM, Mike Jones

In just four minutes, Earps managed to get up from her fall, but she appears to be in pain and limping. Despite that, she still pushes herself to keep moving and receives a well-deserved round of applause from the audience.

Selma Bacha whips in the corner kick, but it gets headed away from the center of the penalty box.

At 8:02pm, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

In just two minutes of play, Mary Earps made a regulation pass and then immediately went down off the ball before the corner could be taken. As a result, the physios ran onto the field to treat her. From the stretches they performed, it appears as though Mary might be having issues with her hip.

It wasn't the beginning she would have preferred for her 50th time playing for England.

England Vs France Scoreless Draw

At 8:01 PM, the blogger known as Mike Jones wrote the following section.

Alessia Russo initiates the important Euro 2025 qualifying game. England hasn't had much success against France in the past, but they are optimistic that they can overcome this history at St. James' Park tonight.

When Delphine Cascarino plays, she pushes hard and stresses out Millie Bright. She stops Bright's pass and succeeds in granting France a corner kick.

At 7:50 PM, Mike Jones wrote the blog post.

In the recent past, Fran Kirby managed to score in England's two matches against France. She has only scored more goals in her career for the national team when playing against Sweden - a total of three times. The most recent English player to score in a home game for the Lionesses was Lauren James who achieved this feat in February 2023, in a match against Korea Republic while playing for Chelsea.

At 7:45 pm, Mike Jones

In the time that Sarina Wiegman has been coaching England, Beth Mead has scored the most goals for the team. However, Alessia Russo has also been a strong player, scoring a total of six goals in the six qualifying games that she has played for the Lionesses. Out of those six goals, five were scored during four World Cup qualifiers while one was scored during two Euros qualifiers.

At 7:40 PM, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

Sarina Wiegman will soon lead the England team for the 50th occasion, placing her among the top four managers to reach such a milestone. The other three managers who have achieved this feat for the Lionesses are Hope Powell, Martin Reagan, and Mark Sampson with 161, 68 and 59 matches respectively. With her current record of W37 D8 L4, Wiegman is just one victory away from tying Mark Sampson's record of 38 wins. While Hope Powell sits at the top with 85 wins, Wiegman has the chance to be the second-most successful coach in the country's women's soccer history.

It's now 7:35 pm according to Mike Jones.

England's upcoming match at St. James' Park will mark their debut at the venue. This will be the 87th location where England has played as their home ground. In their recent games at newly-featured stadiums, England has emerged victorious in four out of five matches. However, they did suffer a 2-0 defeat against Australia at the Brentford Community Stadium in April last year.

At 7:30 pm, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

England has not lost any of their previous 28 European Championship qualifiers since their defeat of 8-0 to Norway in June 2000. They have won 22 games and had 6 draws, scoring a total of 85 goals and only conceding 9 goals.

He also assured his readers that he will keep them informed as he goes through the process of revising the work.

In the recent past, France has been successful in four out of their five games played away from home in every competition. During these victories, they managed to maintain a clean record by not allowing their opponents to score in three of their wins. The only defeat they faced in this run was against the reigning World Cup champions, Spain, in the city of Sevilla.

At 7:20 PM, Mike Jones wrote the blog.

Under the guidance of manager Sarina Wiegman, England managed to win 12 out of the initial 15 matches played at their home base (excluding neutral venues) across various competitions. However, in the recent past, the team has not been performing as well as before, and has only managed to win three out of seven home matches (excluding neutral venues), with three draws and one loss.

The time is 7:15pm and the author of this blog goes by the name of Mike Jones.

France had suffered a defeat in their first visit to England in 1974 by a score of 0-2. However, since then they have managed to remain undefeated in four games played as visitors against the Lionesses, without giving the opposing team a chance to score. The last two encounters ended with a goalless draw, including the most recent one in October 2016, which was a friendly match.

At 7:10 pm, Mike Jones wrote a blog post.

In the past, England has not had much success against France, winning only two out of their last 23 games against them. They had to settle for nine draws and 12 losses during this period. However, things have picked up recently, with England managing to secure victories against France in two of their most recent four meetings (although they lost two as well). These wins came during the 2017 European Championships and the 2018 edition of the SheBelieves Cup.

At 6:50 pm, Mike Jones wrote in the blog.

After recuperating from an injury that took her out for a while, Leah Williamson has made her way back to the England squad. As the captain, she is thrilled to step back onto the field with her fellow Lionesses.

According to her, there has been significant alternation in our team lineup. However, she believes that we possess outstanding capabilities in our gameplay, so it allows us the privilege of maintaining our unique approach regardless of the players on the field.

I believe that it's simpler for other players to take on a role in our team because we have a strong understanding amongst ourselves. Therefore, I have faith that anyone taking on this role, including Millie Bright, will perform admirably.

Aggie Beever-Jones comes across as self-assured, yet also very considerate - a quality that earns my admiration. I sincerely hope she recognizes her own merit and realizes that she rightfully belongs within this group of individuals. During our training session today, I couldn't resist teasing her that she's not hesitant to give us a good challenge.

She possesses excellence and appears comfortable in her surroundings. In my opinion, she is more advanced in the way she has adapted compared to when I was a new member.

In my opinion, they have consistently demonstrated strong performances. However, due to the fact that we have not competed against them in the Euros and World Cup, we have not deeply examined their gameplay. Nevertheless, we have been closely monitoring their progress throughout.

The team is highly skilled in athletics and their players display an eagerness to possess the ball. Although they have made a few minor adjustments to their playing technique, it is evident that their primary goal is to advance forward while keeping the ball in their possession.

"They are also not hesitant to take a more straightforward approach."
