Wales suffered a huge defeat to crash

Wales’ Euro 2025 adventure is over after losing against England – but fans and former players hope that it is not the end of the journey.

The lioness’s 6–1 victory on Ryan Wilkinson’s side confirmed the exit of Wales after the third straight loss.

The results ensured that the England lioness progressed in the quarter -finals, where he would play Sweden.

However, despite the scorline, Wales players were told that they could keep their head high after the historic first appearance in a major final.

Former striker Helen Ward said the huge loss was “how we wanted to eliminate it” but “the red wall is still behind them.”

East-Wales International Katie Sherwood said: “This was the first step-but we don’t want it to be the last time we are worthy.”

Wales – who has never defeated the old rivals in England – an unexpected four goal victory was required to give themselves any chance to progress in the knock -out stages.

But those slim hops saw only after 13 minutes when Georgia Stanway scored from the penalty spot, before the poor Welsh allowed Ella Tone (two) and Alessia Russo to save Russo and made it 4–0 in half a time.

Beth Mead, before the break, finished something to cheer a packed Wales before Hanna Cain, although the Egnes Beaver-Jones had said the last sixth late.

Cain’s goal was a moment to celebrate with consolation, which means the first Wales target against England in 45 years, some former forward ward called “a Moment of History on a Tuff Night”.

The results faced a 3–0 defeat by the Netherlands and 4–1 against France to complete the first major final for Wales women.

But Switzerland and home fan at home may be grateful to experience and impact may be qualified.

Amy Pal, 20 -year -old Amy Palmer of Aberrdare, Rondda Sinon TAF watched the game in Cardiff and said: “I think all those women on the pitch feel that they have created a legacy for people in Wales.

“They have left a legacy for women’s football, and hopefully it will grow.”

Earlier, thousands of supporters had mixed at Swiss Sunshine in the official Fanzone in the Markatgase area of the city.

Competition organizers confirmed that Wales had sold all 2,400 of its allocation, while England had sold 2,100, although it was expected that both sides had more fans who helped fill the 18,251-ability Arena St. Gallon, where tonight was stable.

Welsh Culture Minister Jack Sergeant was among them and before the game, reporters reported that Wales fans “took” St. Gallon.

“Switzerland is our home later and the end of this week, and first when we have a better way to celebrate in a major tournament than bringing Red Wales and Simru to Switzerland, what is better way than this,” he told Sky Sports.

Vicky Morgan, 40 -year -old England fan from Serbiton in South West London, traveled to 39 -year -old Welsh friends Hannah Maddy and Panth 43 from Panth, who had traveled to Switzerland with Glamorgan’s Well.

Vicky said, “We have been friends for a very long time. We met while staying in Cardiff University but still stayed and stayed in Switzerland for two days.”

“I was in the last final that we won [England are the defending champions]It was a huge game and the game has just increased and increased since then.

“It is very good to see so many young fans looking at the lioness. I am a teacher myself, so it has also enhanced the game in schools.”

The estimated 3,500 welsh fans at St. Gallon had a representative of the Women’s Walking Football Squad.

The 58 -year -old is from Jane Clamens, Cardiff and traveled to Mountain Ash, Rondada Sinon TAF and Juliet Payne with Lean Williams, the colleagues of the 47 -year -old team, Lean Williams, who lived in Merthiir Tidefill for 27 years.

Prior to the match, Jane said: “We have gone to Sweden for the world football championship representing Wales in various age categories at the end of last week. More than 40 came to the semi-finals and reached the quarter-finals of more than 50. It reached a difficult three-day play, three or four times in a day.

“We traveled by train and boat to reach here through Munich in Germany. You see children walking with the names of women on the back of your shirt, we did not have the case. It is very high in the last 30 years.”
