LEAH'S SWEDE THING

Lionesses captain Williamson won't underestimate 'fantastic' Sweden

- FROM TOM VICTOR in Zurich

LEAH WILLIAMSON feels England's Euro 2025 quarterfinal opponents Sweden have been 'disrespected' by being left out of conversations about the tournament's biggest threats.

Peter Gerhardsson's team won all three of their group matches, including a statement-making 4-1 victory over Germany on Saturday.

But the likes of Spain, France and England have dominated most of the talk about potential champions in Switzerland.

Reigning European champions England face the Swedes (coach Gerhardsson, below) in the last eight on Thursday in what could be an explosive tie, with the two teams scoring 19 goals between them in the group stages.

The Lionesses booked their place in the quarters with a 6-1 win over Wales on Sunday, but Williamson is not getting carried away.
