England Women haven't lost a qualifier since 16 November 2002

 

It is ten years to the day since the England Women’s team last lost a qualifying fixture.

That defeat came against France in a play-off for the 2003 World Cup, but since then Hope Powell has overseen 25 victories and seven draws on her way to guiding the Three Lions to two World Cups and three European Championships.

In those 32 games England have scored 105 goals and conceded just ten.

A 3-0 win over Croatia in September sealed a place at Euro 2013, where England have been drawn in Group C alongside France, Russia and Spain.

Next year’s Euros will take place in Sweden between 10 – 28 July.
