England's Euro 2025 campaign seemed to teeter on the brink of disaster as they trailed Sweden 2-0, but a remarkable display of self-belief saw them through to the semi-finals. Despite a "shambolic" performance, the Lionesses stubbornly refused to relinquish their European crown, showcasing an "entirely unwarranted calmness".

Even when the "obituaries" for their Euro 2025 campaign were being written, there was a sense that the team still trusted that everything would work out. This faith seemed detached from the "available visual evidence," requiring "a pretty significant leap of faith" after Sweden dominated the first half-hour.

The match was described as a "hugely flawed yet gloriously chaotic quarter-final triumph". After the tense matches against Colombia and Belgium in the past, this victory was a rare treat. As the game progressed, England grew in confidence, especially after realizing that Sweden lacked a cutting edge.

England's ability to focus their efforts and do just enough to win has been a hallmark of their tournament performances. They have shown an expert ability to concentrate their efforts where they are most needed. This may be the worst time to play them, as goals can come from all areas of the pitch.

The unpredictability of England makes them a team to be feared. In 2022 and 2023, they exhibited an expert ability to focus their efforts where they would be most needed, the ability to do just enough to win. There are goals coming from all areas of the pitch. This may just be the worst time to play them.
