"The pitches and jungle gyms and parks of this nation won't be filled as ever before with young ladies and ladies who know for certain that football isn't only for young men - it truly is for everybody," Johnson wrote in a letter addressed to Wiegman, Williamson and the remainder of the England crew.

 

Strain ON ENGLAND

Germany supervisor Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said all the tension was on England as they attempt to manage the heaviness of assumption from the home group.

 

Regardless of the possibility of confronting a threatening climate, Voss-Tecklenburg said she could never have wanted for the eight-time victors to confront anybody other than England in the last.

 

"We've longed for this, a last against England at Wembley.

 

"I couldn't say whether there is a greater second for our players. We need to remain present and embrace everything."

 

Competition coordinators Uefa are likewise under the spotlight after the turbulent scenes around last year's men's European Championship last at Wembley and the Champions League last in Paris in May.

 

Britain's men had to play a game in secret last month after rough conflicts damaged the finish to Euro 2020 as fans charged the entryways in a bid to see the Three Lions' loss on punishments to Italy.

 

A severe no liquor zone has been set up around the arena with fans without tickets emphatically encouraged to not to venture out to the arena.
