Women's Euro 2022 is finally here and there are 16 nations - including hosts England - who are looking to establish themselves as the continent's finest team.
Four of those countries - Spain, Finland, Germany and Denmark - will compete in Group B, with all six games taking place at the Brentford Community Stadium and Stadium MK. They've all impressed in the Euros before and will be hoping for more success this summer.
But which team will be confident of going the distance? Here, Mirror Football takes a look at Spain, Finland, Germany and Denmark - analysing their squads, coaches, form, past achievements and chances - ahead of Group B's opening game on July 8.
Qualification records
Spain : Qualification was not a problem for Jorge Vilda's side. The Spaniards won seven of their eight games - scoring 48 goals and conceding just once - to book their flights to England. Spain's biggest victory was a commanding 13-0 away win against Azerbaijan, with only Poland keeping them at bay in a goalless draw.
Finland : Like Spain, Anna Signeul's side won seven of their eight qualifiers. The defining result was a 1-0 home win against Portugal in their penultimate fixture. Linda Sallstrom's last-minute winner ensured Finland finished three points ahead of Portugal in second. The finest of margins.
Germany : No country got close to Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's side in qualification, as they strolled into the finals. The Germans won all eight of their games, scoring 46 goals and conceding just once. Their most dominant performance was a 10-0 home victory against Montenegro in August 2019, their first qualifier and a sign of things to come.
Denmark : Lars Sondergaard's side boasted an unbeaten record in qualification, winning nine of their 10 games to finish three points ahead of Italy. The most important result was their 3-1 away win against the Italians in Empoli, although Milena Bertolini's side also qualified as one of the three best second-placed teams.
Players to watch
Which country will win Women's Euro 2022? Let us know in the comments below!
Spain : Vilda has the reigning Ballon d'Or winner to call on. Barcelona playmaker Alexia Putellas is expected to flourish in England after a stellar few years at club level - winning three consecutive Spanish league titles and the Champions League in 2020-21. The 28-year-old will be determined to confirm her status as the world's best player.
Finland : Linda Sallstrom led her nation to the finals and will be desperate to keep their hopes of winning Euro 2022 alive for as long as possible. The 33-year-old is Finland's all-time leading scorer with 50 goals and hasn't played in a major tournament since Euro 2009 due to injuries and Finland's poor qualification record. This is her time.
Germany : All eyes will be on Germany's experienced skipper Alexandra Popp. The 31-year-old forward has already achieved plenty in the game but would love to win the Euros and World Cup before hanging up her boots. The Wolfsburg icon has won five Bundesliga titles, three Champions Leagues and the Olympics in 2016 - among other honours.
Denmark : The Danes will be hoping their captain Pernille Harder will lead them to success in England. The 29-year-old playmaker has won two WSL titles with Chelsea and four Bundesliga titles with Wolfsburg. She's also a three-time Champions League finalist and a two-time European Footballer of the Year.
Meet the coaches
Spain : Vilda has been involved in Spain's set up for more than a decade. He was initially the women's U17 manager between 2009 and 2014 before leaving to become the women's U19 boss. The 40-year-old was appointed as the senior coach in 2015 and has since guided his nation to glory in the Algarve Cup and Cyprus Cup.
Finland : Signeul has coached for more than four decades, starting her career at the age of 21 while still playing. The 61-year-old was in charge of Scotland between 2005 and 2017 and developed the game significantly in the country, leading them to Euro 2017 - their first major tournament. Signeul left Scotland to take the Finland job after that event.
Germany : Voss-Tecklenburg enjoyed a stellar playing career before moving into coaching, winning the Euros four times with Germany. The 54-year-old started her managerial career at FCR 2001 Duisburg in 2008 - a German side that went out of business in 2013 - and won the Champions League in 2009. Voss-Tecklenburg was in charge of Switzerland for six years between 2012 and 2018 before becoming Germany boss in 2019.
Denmark : Sondergaard is a vastly experienced coach having managed several men's teams in Denmark and Austria - including Red Bull Salzburg, Austria Wien and Aalborg. The 63-year-old was appointed by the Danes in December 2017 and will remain in charge until after next year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand - a tournament they've already qualified for.
Competition records
Spain : La Roja's only major tournament appearance before 2013 was Euro 1997, losing to Italy in the semi-finals. They've qualified for each of the last two World Cups and Euros but have failed to challenge in any of those four tournaments. Yet they've reached seventh in FIFA's world rankings - their highest ranking to date - and have qualified for next year's World Cup.
Finland : The Finns reached the semi-finals of Euro 2005 - losing 4-1 to Germany - and progressed to the quarter-finals when they hosted the competition four years later. They failed to qualify for Euro 2017 and have never made it to the World Cup finals, although Signeul's side still have a chance of reaching next year's tournament.
Germany : The Germans are the most successful team in the competition's history, lifting the trophy eight times. They dominated the Euros between 1995 and 2013, winning six consecutive editions. Germany also won back-to-back World Cups in 2003 and 2007, and they were crowned Olympic champions in 2016. They reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2017.
Denmark : The Danes reached the final of Euro 2017, losing 4-2 to hosts the Netherlands. They also reached the semi-finals in 1984, 1991, 1993, 2001 and 2013 - yet they've never been crowned European champions. Denmark have never reached the last four of the World Cup.

Predictions
Spain : The former semi-finalists don't have a great tournament record but have improved significantly in recent years. They're the bookies' favourites and it's easy to see why.
Finland : The Finns are a decent team but will struggle to get out of this group. Expect them to finish bottom.
Denmark : The Danes have great European pedigree and it wouldn't be a surprise to see them progress, although they're in a tough group. An early flight home could be on the cards.
Germany : The eight-time European champions should have enough to get out of the group but a ninth title seems unlikely. We're backing England to knock them out in the quarter-finals.
