Winners Don't Need Reasons (Free)

Sarina Wiegman can justify whatever she wants. And thus ends perhaps the most fascinating tournament run to a title ever. Maybe Greece in Euro 2004? Except Greece in 2004 wasn't all that exciting. Upset result, for sure, but Greece did exactly what they wanted, which meant turning most

Euro 2025 Final Preview: Going Through Changes (Free)

Sunday's final will be hinge on what England change and what they don't. With a team as good as this version of Spain is, it makes things pretty easy. We know what they're going to do, we know they're going to do
