‘Tears will flow’: England look to lift nation’s first World Cup since 1966

Al Jazeera  

Excitement grows as Lionesses get set to face Spain in the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup. London, United Kingdom – The 2023 Women’s World Cup will conclude when England take on Spain in the final in Sydney on Sunday, with the Lionesses desperate to win their nation its first World Cup since 1966. Support for the Lionesses has steadily grown since last year’s European Championship, in which they beat Germany in the final to lift their first major honour in front of a sold-out Wembley, and before the World Cup final, England has again eagerly united behind the Lionesses. But England’s World Cup preparations were marred by a string of injuries to key figures such as captain Leah Williamson and star goal-scoring forward Beth Mead – both out due to ACL injuries – and Fran Kirby, the driving force behind the Lionesses creativity from midfield, who required surgery for a knee issue. ‘Doesn’t matter if it’s men or women’ The Lionesses have naturally drawn comparisons with the England men’s team that went on to win the 1966 World Cup.
