She made a few mistakes in the game but she still had that mentality to come back in that shootout and really help England overcome Sweden.How Hampton kept England in the game against Swedenpublished at 07:56 British Summer TimeFT: Sweden 2-2 England (aet, England win 3-2 on pens)Postpublished at 07:53 British Summer TimeJoe RindlBBC SportCheers all.
What we thinking? Start Chloe Kelly against Italy in Tuesday’s semi-final?get involvedGet Involvedpublished at 07:52 British Summer TimeClick ‘Get Involved’ at the top of this page to have your saySarina is going to have a selection headache for Italy.
I rate Ella Toone but she went missing yesterday and Chloe Kelly literally changed the game.
The only reason not to start Kelly is she’s a victim of her own success coming off the bench! Anyway, let’s go Lionesses.TimStill buzzing from the win last night but please ladies practice penalties for the rest of the week, don’t think I can handle the stress of that again!Robertget involvedGet Involvedpublished at 07:49 British Summer TimeClick ‘Get Involved’ at the top of this page to have your sayI was in the stadium last night and have to say it was sooooo nerve-racking!

What a game! Can we have a simple win against Italy?AnnaI had a dream last night that an England team played a very up and down football game, poor at times, scored a couple of quick fire goals, then missed a hat full of penalties but still got through to a semi final.Deanget involvedGet Involvedpublished at 07:28 British Summer TimeClick ‘Get Involved’ at the top of this page to have your sayJust want to say thank you to the Lionesses for showing my 7yo son that, no matter what, you never give up.

Swedes stifled flair players brilliantly.

Get watching!Postpublished at 07:03 British Summer TimeJoe RindlBBC SportWow, what a quarter-final.England were rubbish in the first half, but brilliant for parts of the second.Extra-time was nervy, the penalty shoot-out was dramatic – maybe even historically bad.But the girls somehow got through and their prize is a semi-final on Tuesday.I’ve already cancelled my plans that night to watch it.
Two games from glory.
