If you want to learn more about any individual player at this year’s tournament, the Guardian have the perfect tool for you. This is a guide to all 368 players at the competition:
While Denmark manager Andrée Jeglertz has said:
We still have it in our own hands, and that’s our focus, not on speculation about whether a point would be useful or anything like that. We believe we are in a good place as a squad.
Against Sweden we defended in a good way. There were three shots on target for them and three for us. Of course they had possession but we gave it to them where they should have it, so the defensive shape was good.
Christian Wück, Germany coach, has said before his side play Denmark:
[Denmark] were unlucky to lose against Sweden. They were very compact and were able to pose a threat on the counter, and we’re expecting a similar style of play against us.
We will need to be patient again. We will play against a compact team that won’t afford us much room, so we will need to be patient in possession and wait for space to open up, which we then need to take advantage of. We will have to be more clinical in front of goal, in order to finish the chances that we create.
Exactly three years ago today Germany beat Denmark 4-0 at Euro 2022. The two nations compete again this evening, thought the Danes will be bidding for a different result.
I have done my good deed for the day. Either a bee or a wasp, I can never tell the difference, flew into my flat and I managed to get it into a glass and back outside. Phew, that was a bit hairy at times there but the bee/wasp is free. Any good deeds yourself today? Let me know by emailing me.

The FAW, Wales’ football association, have released this statement about the crash:
The Cymru National Team bus has been involved in a road traffic accident whilst travelling to Arena St Gallen for their matchday -1 training session ahead of Wednesday’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 match against France.
All passengers on the Cymru National Team bus and in the other vehicle are unharmed. The FAW’s priority has been to remove the players from the scene and return to the Cymru training base to complete their preparations for tomorrow’s match.
Some breaking news for you from elsewhere in the tournament, Wales’ team bus was involved in a road collision on their way to St Gallen. Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson said she believed everyone is okay, including those in the other vehicle but other reports suggest the driver of another vehicle involved was receiving medical treatment at the scene. Wilkinson and captain Angharad James were not in the bus after travelling down earlier to take part in a press conference. Wilkinson said after confirming tonight’s training has been cancelled:
Yeah, football is secondary and I think, yes we are shaken because we are away from the team right now knowing that they’ve had to experience that.
But equally we have a great group and I have been assured that everyone is fine. We have practiced for the unexpected, that’s what we can call this. We will check in with everyone and make sure they are all in a good spot and we can focus on the football again after that.
