Bronze, who has no plans to retire at the end of the European Championship, could well go on to surpass Fara Williams as the most-capped player in English history.

Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old Arsenal forward, came off the bench in both the quarterfinal and semifinal matches to score brilliant and decisive goals. But it was Kelly, England’s hero from the last European championship, who came on as a late sub and provided a spark that carried her team to those victories.
