The marquee matchup, which France won 2-1, drew 690,000 viewers, a 329% spike from the previous group stage average.

England and France agreed Thursday to “coordinate” and “cooperate” with each other’s nuclear programs for their own safety and the defense of Europe.

England's bid to defend their Euros title took a major hit, as France outclassed the Lionesses on a night where the midfield battle proved decisive.

The Lionesses, however, thought they had taken the lead inside 16 minutes at the Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich, only for Alessia Russo’s goal to be disallowed for a marginal offside ruling on Beth Mead. It was a decision England’s head coach described as a “huge surprise” — so what exactly happened, and why didn’t the goal stand?
