The Lionesses won all three games, scoring 14 goals without conceding a single one themselves. While they were always favorites to progress as the highest rank team in Group A, even the most optimistic England fan probably didn't expect to make such easy work of qualifying for the knockout rounds. However, the real work starts here as England now face their toughest test of the tournament yet in the form of a very dangerous Spanish side. Don't let their second-place finish in Group B fool you, this Spain is stacked with quality and will test England in a way they haven't been so far at Euro 2022. Both teams will feel they can progress to the semi-finals, but both have faced disruption that could impact on-pitch performance. England have had to deal with their head coach, Sarina Wiegman, testing positive for Covid-19 and therefore forced to isolate. While just days before the start of Euro 2022, Spain lost Alexia Putellas to an ACL injury. With Jennifer Hermoso also sideline, Spain are currently without their two top goalscorers which has blunted their usually potent attack. This is expected to be one of the most intense games of Euro 2022 with both teams desperate to advance further.
