Euro 2025: Wales Fans Still Have Euros Pride Despite France Defeat
WALES, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 9 – Jess Fishlock scored Wales' first-ever major tournament goal as France secured their 10th win in 10 matches in 2025, leaving Wales needing a nine-goal swing to advance.
- Wales lost 4-1 to France in their Euro 2025 Group D match in St Gallen, following a 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands in Lucerne on Saturday.
- Wales entered Euro 2025 as the lowest-ranked team and faced a difficult group including England, France, and the Netherlands, with high expectations after qualifying for their first major tournament.
- Wales' preparations were disrupted by a team bus crash en route to training the day before the France match, though all players and staff were reported uninjured, and coach Rhian Wilkinson emphasized refocusing on football.
- At 38 years and 176 days old, Jess Fishlock became the oldest woman to score in the European Championships and netted Wales' first-ever goal in a major women's international tournament after a VAR decision overturned an offside call; coach Wilkinson described the achievement as a moment worthy of celebration.
- Although Wales has suffered heavy defeats and faces near elimination, both the team and their supporters remain proud; Fishlock expressed that she has never felt prouder. Looking ahead, Wales must defeat England on Sunday and significantly improve their goal difference by nine goals, while also hoping for a French victory over the Netherlands, to keep their tournament hopes alive.
