Defender Lily Woodham insists Wales will not be too down and come back fighting following defeat by the Netherlands in their opening game of Euro 2025. Wales, making their debut at a major finals, were beaten 3-0 by the 2017 European champions in Lucerne. Woodham said of the defeat by the Dutch, "It was a big occasion for us, and not to make excuses at all, we were a bit shaky." She emphasized the importance of reviewing their performance and remaining positive for their next match against France.
