ZURICH (AP) — England defender Jess Carter says she has been subject to racial abuse online at the Women’s European Championship. Carter came in for a lot of criticism for her performance during England’s opening loss to France. And some of that has crossed the line even as the 27-year-old and the Lionesses have reached the semifinals at Euro 2025.

England roared into the semi-finals of Women's Euro 2025 on Thursday after coming back from two goals down and then beating Sweden 3-2 on penalties to continue their title defence. England scored 10 goals in their final two Group D matches to reach the last eight but showed none of that attacking flair in the early stages at the Letzigrund Stadium.
