Women's Euros: 'We're all sold out!' - Stanway reveals England's men made final ticket requests

By Sports Desk July 30, 2022

Georgia Stanway revealed England's men's team have made ticket requests for the sell-out Women's Euros final between the Lionesses and Germany.

England have the chance to be crowned European champions for the first time with victory at Wembley on Sunday.

However, they face a formidable foe in Germany, who have won the tournament a record eight times.

A Women's Euros record crowd of 87,200 will be in attendance for the mouth-watering showpiece, just over a year on from England's penalty shoot-out defeat to Italy at the same venue in the final of the men's Euros.

Speaking during a media conference ahead of the final, Stanway - scorer of a stunning extra-time winner in the quarter-final against Spain - said: "Quite a lot of the England men have been in touch, just wishing us well and asking if they can have a ticket.

"Sorry lads, we're all sold out!

"They've been at us, just giving us all the information they can. They reached this point last year and we're just trying to make sure we can do one better.

"We've had so much support, whether it be footballers, people around the hotel and it's mad how many people actually recognise us."

Stanway will be playing her football in Germany next season, having left Manchester City for Bayern Munich in May.

And she knows cool heads will be required if England are to prevail and end their wait for a European title.

"The biggest thing we need to bring on Sunday is calmness, composure," added Stanway

"We know that Germany like to get out the traps and they like to put people under pressure and challenge their decision-making. We just need to be even better on the ball, it's down to us really."

  • Brentford 3-1 Southampton: Bees begin life after Toney with comfortable win Brentford 3-1 Southampton: Bees begin life after Toney with comfortable win

    Brentford began life without Ivan Toney with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Southampton.

    Bryan Mbeumo’s brace and a Yoane Wissa goal proved to be the difference between the two sides and condemned the Saints to their third straight loss since promotion back to the Premier League.

    With departed striker Toney watching in the stands after his move to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, the hosts proved too strong for Russell Martin’s men. They created the superior chances and capitalised on an error-strewn performance from Southampton’s backline.

    Mbeumo opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time before doubling the lead halfway through the second period and Wissa then got on the scoresheet moments later to continue Brentford’s strong start to the campaign. Yukinari Sugawara bagged a consolation in injury time for the Saints.

    Brentford sit in fifth place ahead of the first international break, while Southampton are second-bottom of the league table with zero points.

    Data debrief: Wissa continues to prove effective at home

    Wissa now has five goals and two assists in his last seven matches at the Gtech Community Stadium.

    Brentford have recorded consecutive home league wins for the first time since last November, and the first time in their opening home games since August 2018.

  • Pirlo sacked as Sampdoria head coach after dismal Serie B start Pirlo sacked as Sampdoria head coach after dismal Serie B start

    Andrea Pirlo has been sacked as Sampdoria's head coach after just over a season at the helm.

    Pirlo, who managed Juventus for the 2020-21 campaign, has been relieved of his duties after an underwhelming start to their Serie B season. 

    After finishing seventh in Italy's second tier last term, the 45-year-old was given the green light to try and return to Serie A at the second time of asking. 

    However, an opening day draw with Frosinone was followed up with back-to-back defeats to Reggiana and Salernitana, leaving them second-bottom in the division. 

    During his time in charge, Pirlo won 18 of his 45 matches in charge (D10 L17), averaging 1.42 points per game, a total only bettered by his time with Juventus (2.15).

    Sampdoria return to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris this weekend in search of their first three points of the season, welcoming Bari to Genoa on Saturday.
