Crossing has been one of England's go-to moves at Euro 2025. The defending champions have attempted the most crosses of any side so far (152), and their 51 crosses against Italy in the semifinals was a single-game record since Euro 2013.

England are set to give Lauren James as long as possible to prove her fitness for the European Championship final. Chelsea forward James was brought off for Beth Mead at half-time during Tuesday’s semi-final against Italy and was seen with ice around her right ankle during the second half.
