Erik's two reasons for supporting the Lionesses

The Lionesses are set to take on Spain in the all-European showdown at 11:00 BST on Sunday, as the month-long tournament, staged in Australia and New Zealand, comes to a close.

The chance of glory for England comes with the prospect of making history in several different ways, including becoming only the second nation - after Germany in 2003 and 2007 - to win the FIFA Women's World Cup as reigning European champions.

Three Reds are in the Lionesses squad: goalkeeper Mary Earps, United skipper Katie Zelem, and midfielder Ella Toone, who scored in last summer’s Euro 2022 final victory at Wembley, over Germany.
