The English “Lionesses” (Lionesses) successfully launched “their” Euro with a narrow but precious victory against a valiant Austria on Wednesday at Old Trafford, in front of nearly 70,000 people, a record for a match in the competition. Arsenal striker Beth Meade scored the only goal of the game with a clever lob on the Austrian keeper (1-0, 17th), but the English lack of realism will have to be resolved if the hosts of the competition want to go to the end of the tournament which promises to be very open.
