ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (Reuters) -The Lionesses' Dutch coach Sarina Wiegman has read up on the fierce rivalry between England and Wales and knows that it will be fuel for the Welsh women when they face off in a pivotal Euro 2025 game on Sunday at St. Gallen.

But Wiegman said her players will not get caught up in emotion and instead approach Sunday as another big game in defence of their European championship title.
