PARIS: Germany joined already qualified France in the Women\u00b4s Nations League semi-finals as England knocked Portugal for six at Wembley on Friday.<\/p>\n
Euro 2022 champions England shrugged off the shock international retirement of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Mary Earps this week to sweep aside Portugal 6-0 and set up a tantalising decider for Sarina Wiegman\u00b4s side in the final group game against world champions Spain in Barcelona on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Spain eased past Belgium 5-1 and top their group by two points from England with only the winner of the four top-tier mini-leagues advancing to the semi-finals in October. Germany booked their ticket to the two-legged semis with a 4-0 rout of the Netherlands. That left them three points clear of the Dutch.<\/p>\n
In the event of the two sides ending up level after Tuesday\u00b4s closing games the Germans will go through on the basis of their head-to-head results – they drew when they met in the opening game in February.<\/p>\n
At Wembley the star of the show was Aggie Beever-Jones, who will forever remember her first ever start at the iconic stadium.<\/p>\n
The Chelsea forward scored in the third minute, again in the 26th with a header from Lucy Bronze\u00b4s cross, and then completed her treble in the 33rd minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u00b4m absolutely shattered,\u201d the 21-year-old Beever-Jones told ITV.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing into this today after a busy season and I got told I was starting and I wanted to help the team as much as I can. I\u00b4m absolutely delighted right now,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Joining her on the scoresheet were her club teammate Bronze, whose father is Portuguese, the Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner Beth Mead, and Chloe Kelly.<\/p>\n
France, who secured their path to the semi-finals on the last matchday, maintained their perfect record beating Switzerland, hosts of July\u00b4s Euro 2025, 4-0 in Nancy.<\/p>\n
Les Bleues were runners-up to Spain in last year\u00b4s final.<\/p>\n
At Euro 2025 their group stage opponents include defending champions England and 2017 winners Netherlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aggie Beever-Jones (number 9) is mobbed by her England teammates after completing her Wembley hat-trick. \u2014AFP\/File PARIS: Germany…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5310],"tags":[393,2000,299,1824,33175,256,6695,9197,63555,28222,20296],"class_list":["post-148323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-germany","tag-england","tag-eu","tag-europe","tag-germany","tag-hit","tag-in","tag-league","tag-nations","tag-qualify","tag-six","tag-womens"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114605729020239784","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
