  5. Insane! So happy for the ladies. They weren’t the best team, but their defending was immense, and the penalties have been the best by far. 👍

  8. It was mental. Kelly really sealed this at the last moment.

  11. Good for them! Spain really messed up on their shots. One completely misses and one looked like she put about 50% effort into it. They’ll be kicking themselves.

    2 in a row, gotta give it to the lionesses, really proving themselves the best

  12. Come on, we need a bank holiday tomorrow!! Hope they do a last minute announcement!!

  13. Well done ladies. Never really watched the women’s football before but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of football shown

  14. Absolutely brilliant.

    Survived going behind, Spain diving like it was the 10m at the Olympics, a blind ref and they still do it!

    Absolute role models the lot of them.

  15. Weigman with 3 successive euros wins as coach, with 2 different teams, is a crazy stat.

  16. Some great saves in that shootout, but Kelly’s winner was unstoppable. England really did scrap and scrape their way through this tournament, incredible mental toughness.

  17. I can die happy now having seen England win on penalties

  18. Amazing stuff! Was just watching it with my 6 year old who has now seen them become European champions twice in her life!!!!

  19. FUCK YEAH! Well done England ladies once again! Even my mum was cheering them on!

  20. The comeback Queens.

    Well done! They never gave up.

  21. What an amazing achievement for the Lionesses! Well played!

  22. It was so tense! A brilliant match. Absolutely fantastic and so well deserved

  23. And that’s why we love being English!! Forever Strong and never give up!! Well done the lionesses !! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

  24. This has been such a dramatic tournament for England, lot of ups and downs, but you cannot deny the sheer doggedness of the team. Absolutely deserved win!

  25. The pressure that England were under… that was frankly extraordinary. Congratulations, England!

  26. I’d feel bad for Spain more if they hadn’t been diving so much

  27. Fuck me, I nearly had a stroke watching it go to penalties. Then they disallowed the first penalty?? What was that even for??? Incredible show from the team once again 🙂

  28. NGL, I shed tears, could not be prouder of the Lionesses, wow.

    And well done to Spain, so close.

  29. The amount of players for Spain that were diving and the obvious ref bias.

    Glad we somehow won that.

  30. Amazing – what an achievement.

    So many great performances – Hampton and Kelly stand out. Jess Carter absolutely immense today

  32. The amount of anxiety these ladies have given me over the last couple of weeks!

    Well done Lionesses, immensely proud!

  33. Brilliant girls. Finally something to cheer about. Balls of steel.

  34. Still buzzing man. So happy right now. Get in! Howay the lasses!

  35. Watched this in the same pub that three years ago decided to air a Scottish Premier League game with Celtic vs Aberdeen over the previous women’s Euro final, where we beat Germany 2-1. Went to the pub next door instead.

    That’s how much the attitude towards women’s football has changed.

  36. A knighthood or an hounor for Sarina Wiegman in the New Years honours list. I know she is Dutch but Arsene Wegner is French and he was honoured

  37. Lucy Bronze playing the entire tournament with a fractured tibia is absolutely mental. I love Chloe Kelly and think she’s an amazing player but Lucy Bronze is just out of this world

  38. Honestly, after losing back to back finals against Spain across all levels, I was ready to lose again!

    I don’t think people realise how insane it is to see England not only winning tournaments, but winning on penalties too, that simply didn’t happen 20 years ago

  39. Alex Greenwood is my cousin. The pride coming from the whole of my family is absolutely electric!
