Hosts England waltzed past Sweden, the second-ranked team in the world, with a 4-0 win on Tuesday and will face the eight-times European champions at Wembley in the highest attended edition of the tournament. "I don't think I have ever seen a team approach a major tournament and basically destroy every team that comes in their path," Neville told reporters.

"The English FA must take a lot of credit for the investment that they put into the women's game but those players and that manager are very special."
