Sweden embraces its underdog status at the Women’s European Championship but could change perceptions if it defeats England in Thursday’s quarterfinal in Zurich.

Kosovare Asllani said Wednesday that Sweden should be getting more attention for their performances at the Women's Euro 2025 as the Scandinavians prepare for a blockbuster quarter-final against England.

She reflected on triumphs past, hope of glory in the future but also the size of the task facing England right now. The teams have played each other twice since, both matches ending in draws with Sweden the unluckier.
