After losing their tournament opener to France, England rebounded with convincing victories over the Netherlands and Wales. They qualified for the quarterfinals against Sweden after finishing second in Group D.

Sarina Wiegman’s team appeared to be out of the quarterfinals in the 78th minute, trailing 2-0. However, two goals in two minutes forced the game into extra time, and the Lionesses held their nerve in the penalty shootout to advance to the semifinal.

Italy’s route to the final four has not been without drama. They advanced to the knockout stages for the first time since 2013, taking four points from a difficult group with Spain, Portugal, and Belgium. Le Azzurre entered their quarterfinal against Norway as underdogs, but came away with a stunning win courtesy of a 90th-minute winner.

The 35-year-old Italian football legend is in the midst of an Indian summer in Switzerland. England’s defense will need to work hard to keep the game from going past Tuesday.
