undyingking... is not taking place tonight, when England play Croatia in a World Cup qualifier, but tomorrow, when England play Germany in the European Championships final. And it's on BBC2 at 5pm. In case you're wondering why you hadn't heard of such a thing, that's because this is the women's team. Who have, by getting to the final, already achieved something that the men have never once managed.
England are heavy underdogs against the current champions and double World Cup holders, but in a two-horse race1, anything can happen. We have some terrific players who can produce magic when they're all firing properly, and this tournament the team has shown an impressive toughness at the back. If you've never watched top-level women's football, you really should give it a go.
1 Can you have underdogs in a horse race?
