It was as they prepared to face Germany in the quarter-finals of the 1995 World Cup finals in Sweden that England women were last on the threshold of taking their game through the doors of domestic acceptance. It was as they prepared to face Germany in the quarter-finals of the 1995 World Cup finals in Sweden that England women were last on the threshold of taking their game through the doors of domestic acceptance. They lost, slipped off the precipice of tournament football for six years, and only this week are they picking up the pieces at that level once again. The wheel has come full circle and today's encounter with Germany in Jena is also likely to mark their exit from the European Championships.
Germany, the holders, have already won Group B, scoring eight goals in two matches, while England have one point. For Sammy Britton, who appeared in that World Cup game six years ago, her own re-emergence into the England side this week has ended a harrowing seven-month exile from the international game.Last November, Britton underwent a routine drugs test during the build-up to the second leg of the play-off for this tournament, against Ukraine at Leyton Orient. At that stage, the Everton midfield player realised her own personal problems could be about to impact on her team-mates and her manager, not to mention the fragile image of the women's game. She admitted to Hope Powell, the England coach, that she had smoked marijuana the previous week. Better to pre-empt any bad news, she reasoned, than have Uefa, the governing body of European football, punish England."I feel terribly ashamed of letting down the England team, Hope Powell, women's football and myself before this crucial fixture," she said at the time.
