England v Spain
UEFA Women's European Championship
Qualifying Round, Group One
6pm, Sunday 25 November 2007
Shrewsbury Town FC




The match will be the third qualifier in England's campaign to make it to Finland in two years' time, following their 4-0 triumphs over Northern Ireland and Belarus.

The one change to the squad from the last encounter at Walsall sees the return of Carly Telford following the retirement of Vicky Exley.

England last played Spain in 2001, when two of the current England squad were on the score- sheet; Sue Smith scoring a hat-trick and Kelly Smith the other goal in a 4-2 victory at Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road

Spain are currently ranked 20th in the world and despite some impressive performances at youth international level – they won the UEFA European U19 Championship in 2004 – they haven’t yet transferred that promise at senior level.

Spain secured a 3-0 away victory in their first Euro 2009 qualifier against Belarus, before earning a hard-fought draw away to Czech Republic in October. Those performances will ensure England guard against any complacency, whilst the current crop of Spanish U19s recently demonstrated their prowess, scoring 26 goals and conceding none in three games, including a 0-0 draw against England.
