«Germany making the final was not necessarily to be expected after the disappointing 2019 World Cup and the rebuilding of the squad; they have already achieved more than was expected and can approach the final relatively relaxed.» While the Lionesses' form has been impressive, Gaber adds that the pressure will be on England in front of an expectant Wembley. «England won 4-0 in the semi-finals and will play in the final in front of 90,000 fans,» added Gaber.
