Germany's Klara Bühl: ‘You can see the sparkle in everyone's eyes. We are ready'
'Maybe I did the homework, but maybe I didn't – the important thing was to get out on the pitch again.' Klara Bühl is describing her time at school when she would come home, eat, possibly do some schoolwork before heading out again. 'Football was everything for me. We played at school and then next to the school there was a small astro pitch. I played there until training began at five o'clock and so it was every afternoon.' Bühl is one of Europe's best, a left-winger who is as two-footed as she is electric. The Bayern Munich player is in form, without any injury concerns and looking forward to the Euros. 'You can see the sparkle in everyone's eyes. We are ready,' she says. At 24, Bühl is reaching her peak years and believes her skills were honed during that formative period in Münstertal. 'I learned everything I can there,' she says. 'Shooting, with both my feet, dribbling because it was so small and also how to push through because I was always the youngest – and the only girl there.' At the start of the year the Germany coach, Christian Wück, spoke to Kicker about Bühl's capabilities with both feet, which makes her incredibly difficult to defend against. 'I don't know anyone who is as two-footed as she is,' he said. 'For her it makes no difference if she takes a free-kick with her left or her right. There are only a few players, in men's or women's football, who are capable of doing that.' So where did that come from? 'My brother, who is a year and a half older than me, was left-footed and there aren't that many left-footed players so I simply thought it was a bit cooler,' she says. 'I was 10 or 12 so I thought about it and decided I would rather be left-footed. There were a few months when I went to training and just did everything with my left.' Bühl stood out at an early age, soon swapping SpVgg Untermünstertal for Freiburg, where she made her Bundesliga debut at the age of 15. She rose through the German under-age teams before being called up to the senior squad in 2019. She was mainly used as a substitute at the World Cup in France that year as Germany went out in the quarter-finals, meaning that Euro 2022 was her first major tournament as a key player. The showpiece in England, which had been delayed for a year because of the pandemic, had been going well for Bühl until, before the semi-final, disaster struck. She grimaces slightly as she describes what happened. 'One evening I had a bit of a headache and then I could feel my throat as well so I went to bed early to sleep it off. Then in the middle of the night I woke up and thought 'OK, this is not good'. The next morning I had a test and it was positive.' Germany beat France in the last four and were looking forward to playing England at a full Wembley in the final. Bühl, however, was in isolation. 'I spent a week on my own in a hotel room hoping that I'd test negative. Your only wish is that it is finally over. You see what the other girls are experiencing and you are there on your own.' The negative test did not come soon enough for Bühl to play in the final, which England won 2-1 after Chloe Kelly's extra-time goal. 'I was just happy I could be in the stadium to take it all in. Even on the morning of the final I didn't know whether I'd be able to be there so I just tried to use all the energy I had collected in that hotel room over a week and take it to the girls.' Does she look back and think what could have been? 'I knew it was important to work through what had happened and to do that quite quickly. I also learned you should always enjoy being on the pitch because you never know what is going to happen. 'The coronavirus was really something different but it could be an injury or something else. I learned to enjoy being able to play in a big tournament, so that was a lesson, and this time I hope to be able to play from start to finish.' Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion Germany are in a tough group in Switzerland, facing Sweden, Denmark and Poland. They arrive in a confident mood having won five of their six games in 2025, scoring an impressive 26 goals along the way. Their final two warm-up matches were 4-0 and 6-0 victories against the Netherlands and Austria. 'We are a bit more carefree and think less about how the goals are going to come and then they seem to come naturally,' says Bühl. 'We are a bit more attack-minded now as well. Scoring a lot of goals gives you confidence that you will score. 'Does that make us one of the favourites? I don't think it is in our mentality to say that, but we have a lot of quality in the team and we have also built a good atmosphere. But the fact is that everyone has to be 100% on top of their game in every game, otherwise it won't work.' Bühl – who is also known for her crocheting, having made the team's mascots, a koala and an otter, for the past two tournaments – will come up against several Bayern teammates at the Euros. In the group phase there will be games against Pernille Harder's Denmark and the Swedish trio of Magda Eriksson, Linda Sembrant and Julia Zigiotti Olme. Then, there may be a quarter-final against England and Georgia Stanway. 'Georgia is super honest, very direct,' Bühl says. 'That is really the English mentality that she has got, very funny On the pitch she is very good in the one-on-one duels and is a fighter. She is a real playmaker. She always wants the ball and she distributes it all the time. That includes the dangerous balls that can cut through two lines of a defence.' Stanway is also a budding tattooist. She has inked a few teammates, including Zigiotti Olme, so would Bühl let Stanway loose on her? Bühl laughs. 'I have thought about maybe having one done. I would like a smiley here [she points to her left wrist]. But there hasn't been the right moment yet. But I would say I can picture it happening. She does it really well.' On a more serious note, does she feel England have improved or gone backwards since beating Germany three years ago? 'It will be hard to top the last Euros as that was at home and there was an incredible hype around the team that took the players along with it. If you know what it can be like, and it is not like that, it can be hard to get in the same flow. 'Because of that I would say that they are not quite as good as with the 2022 Euros.' She pauses, then says, with a smile: 'Without wishing to tread on any toes of course.'

Honours even as Akhter leads Gloucestershire fightback v Glamorgan
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (day one)Gloucestershire 279-7 (96 overs): Akhter 58, Bracey 57*, Bancroft 50; Crane 3-55 Glamorgan: Yet to batGlamorgan 2 pts, Gloucestershire 1 ptMatch scorecard Gloucestershire recovered to 279-7 thanks to half-centuries from Zaman Akhter and James Bracey after Glamorgan leg-spinner Mason Crane had put them in was a day of sharp momentum swings after Cameron Bancroft's 50 took the visitors to 97 before the second wicket put the brakes on during the afternoon with the Kookaburra ball, with Crane (3-55) inducing a mini-collapse as the batters got bogged down and the run-rate slowed to a Akhter took the attack back to Glamorgan in the final session before falling for 58 in the penultimate over of the day, with Bracey unbeaten on 57 overnight. Gloucestershire had the better of the first and third sessions despite being put in after Glamorgan turned the screw in the afternoon. Glamorgan's decision to bowl first, with Andy Gorvin in for Ned Leonard the only change on either side, looked to be due to the early cloud and the likelihood of the pitch losing its green tinge under the sun on the second Cameron Bancroft and Joe Phillips had few alarms against Glamorgan's four-main seam attack with the half-century coming up in the 18th Ben Kellaway made the breakthrough when he had Phillips smartly caught behind by Chris Cooke down the leg-side for 38, but Gloucestershire had 90 on the board by lunch as Bancroft ran well between the reached 50 off 96 balls but could not go on as he fell over a Timm van der Gugten delivery and was adjudged Hammond tried to keep some momentum going before he steered Crane to slip for 31 with the leg-spinner getting turn and then having Graeme van Buuren caught behind for four as scoring became more difficult against the older Price batted 93 balls for an obdurate 24 when he pulled James Harris to mid-wicket and Gloucestershire had become thoroughly bogged down by tea with Gorvin's medium pace particularly economical. Bracey and Ben Charlesworth stopped the slide temporarily but Crane trapped Charlesworth lbw for 16 at positive approach switched the momentum back to the visitors again as Glamorgan delayed taking the new ball without further dividends for the spinners. He rode his luck slightly but fared better than most of the top order as the new ball went harder off the bat. Akhter had faced just 67 balls and struck 10 boundaries but was pinned leg-before by van der Gugten to take the edge off Gloucestershire's revival.

Set to kick off on Tuesday, women's football fans are now counting down to the hours until the beginning of this summer's Women's Euros tournament in Switzerland. Set to begin on July 2 in St Gallen, the seventh edition of the tournament will see England Lionesses look to hold onto their crown following their success in the record breaking European Championships in England three years ago, with over half-a-million tickets already sold for the event. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Undoubtedly the toughest group at the tournament is Group D. Including both the 2022 and 2017 champions England and Netherlands respectively, one of the tournament favourites, France, will also join the party alongside tournament newcomers Wales. New to the women's game and want to pack in as much knowledge as possible before the tournament kicks-off? Then you're in luck, as we've put together a handy guide to preview the tournament, group by group, in the run up to the tournament. Can England make their third successive major tournament final this summer? | AFP via Getty Images England The reigning champions enter the tournament as one of the big favourites to retain their title, but have been rocked by the international retirement of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby, while Millie Bright also ruled herself out of the tournament due to concerns about her mental and physical well-being. That said, the Lionesses are still one of the most experienced squads at the the tournament, with Lucy Bronze, Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp all playing huge roles in the last two major tournaments, where England have made it all the way to the final of both. There's bucket loads of young talent to add to the experience too, with Grace Clinton, Lauren James and Maya Le Tissier included in Sarina Wiegman's squad for the tournament in Switzerland. Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly and Mead also enter the tournament on a high, having won the Champions League with Arsenal in May. Head coach: Sarina Wiegman Key player: Lauren Hemp Fixtures: July 5 - England vs France (5:00 PM, Zurich) July 9 - England vs Netherlands (5:00 PM, Zurich) July 13 - Wales vs England (8:00 PM, St Gallen) Best ever Euro's finish: Winners (2022) Tournament odds: 7/2 with SkyBet Prediction: Quarter-finals Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Can they Dutch make it out of the group of death? Netherlands The winners of the competition in 2017, the Dutch have struggled to get beyond the quarter-finals in their last two major tournament appearances. Inconsistent form in Nations League will have been a frustration too, as they look to build up momentum for the Euros. Taking all of that into account, the Netherlands are still a force to be reckoned with. Arsenal goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar is one of the best stoppers in Europe. Vivianne Miedema, Victoria Pelova and Jill Roord may have had their injuries of late, but their technically quality is undeniable, with an ability to unlock defences at will. Wieke Kaptein is the team's rising star at 19, with Wolfsburg striker Lineth Beerensteyn one of the most deadly strikers heading to the tournament. She bagged 17 goals in just 20 games in last season's Bundesliga. Head coach: Andries Jonker Key player: Lineth Beerensteyn Fixtures: July 5 - France vs England (8:00 PM, Lucerne) July 9 - England vs Netherlands (5:00 PM, Zurich) July 13 - Netherlands vs France (8:00 PM, Basel) Best ever Euro's finish: Winners (2017) Tournament odds: 16/1 with SkyBet Prediction: Quarter-finals France forward Marie-Antoinette Katoto is one of the best strikers in Europe. France Joint-third favourites to win the tournament, France are yet to win a major tournament, but have quickly developed into one of Europe's best sides. Laurent Bonadei has made some very bold selections in his squad, with notable omissions of veteran players, signalling a shift toward a new generation. Regular captain Wendie Renard and all-time leading goalscorer Eugenie Le Sommer have been left at home. Young stars Maëlle Lakrar and Lou Bogaert will be trusted to make an impact instead. France's forward line of Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto is one of the best at the tournament, while midfielder Grace Geyoro's ability to run the game in a box-to-box role will be crucial. Clara Mateo will provide the creative spark, having scored 18 goals and provided seven assists for Paris FC in the 2024-25 Première Ligue season. Head coach: Laurent Bonadei Key player: Marie-Antoinette Katoto Fixtures: July 5 - France vs England (8:00 PM, Zurich) July 9 - France vs Wales (8:00 PM, St. Gallen) July 13 - Netherlands vs France (8:00 PM, Basel) Best ever Euro's finish: Winners (2017) Tournament odds: 16/1 with SkyBet Prediction: Group stage Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jess Fishlock will be Wales one to watch this summer. | Getty Images Wales A proud moment for the Wales national team as they head to their very first major tournament as a nation. Rhian Wilkinson's side fought off the challenge of Republic Of Ireland in the Euro 2025 playoffs, and will be desperate to prove they've got what it takes to go deep in the competition despite their inexperience at the level. The draw has not been kind to them though, with a trifecta of England, Netherlands and France being as tough as it possibly gets for the Dragons. Hayley Ladd, Gemma Evans and Sophie Ingle offer bundles of high-level experience and nous from their years in the Women's Super League, though they'll be plenty of trust placed into youngsters Safia Middleton-Patel, Carrie Jones, and Esther Morgan. Jess Fishlock is the team's standout player, though.
