Congratulations to the lady Lionesses. What a match, I’m so excited for them. And I love that it was the woman who brought an international trophy home after 50 some years

We thought it was amusing and charming they sang "Sweet Caroline" - funny how sporting events have just taken that song and run with it.

I've loved football for forever, women's football was not a thing when I was growing up. I'd have played if it had been.
I have followed this team for years, gone to games here in the UK and the Netherlands. I'm so pleased for them especially Jill Scott, Millie Bright and Fran Kirby.

I am so proud of those women! It’s a huge deal - for women, for women’s football and women’s sport overall. Can’t stop grinning 😁

Oh, one moment that lessened the tension for me. German sub came on with a piece of paper to show to a number of the players. Clearly, a plan, Russo, the English player stands behind one of the german players to have a look see!
Can't say I've seen a player come on with a piece of paper before and I've seen a lot of games.

That was odd...I wondered if she can read German. |

This young supporter hit the headlines with her singing after the semi-final, the BBC gifted her tickets for the final. Hope it plays outside the uk. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/62328004 |

peabay , that's a shame, an eight year old called Tess was broadcast to the nation singing along to Sweet Caroline, having the time of her life. Just pure joy.

And as Ian Wright (I think) said She doesn’t know that women didn’t always play ‘big league’ football. She’ll grow up with it being the norm 😊 |

A great thing for the team, the country and womens/girls sport in general. Did you see the little video of Prince William and Charlotte wishing the team well earlier? So sweet. <3 |

That was one of the stranger things I’ve seen on a football pitch. I’ve never seen the likes either, and the English player reading over her shoulder cracked me up. Can’t wait for the World Cup next year. Loads of really good teams out there now |
