England v Sweden. What a nail biter!
I hate penalty shoot outs and thought it was all over (from behind my cushion) but they would not give in. I thought Sarina Wiegman looked shell shocked at the winning save!

Well Done Girls! Now the semis! ⚽️⚽️

Her name is Laura and she is a charity representative for special needs.

She was representing the EUFA Foundation .

I think it was Princess Charlotte with Prime William. Well done, Lionesses. If you want something done give it to the women.

Definitely not Princess Charlotte in between William and the Football President on the pitch giving out medals.

I agree, definitely not, nothing like her. But try as I might, I can’t find out who she is. So if anybody knows I’d be interested too.

Charlotte was watching the game with her father but was not on the presentation line up.

Thanks Bridie22

Princess Charlotte must have been thrilled with the result. Apparently she’s very sporty like her mother.

Bukkie Sun 27-Jul-25 21:33:52

After listening to her interview all I can say is Sarina Weigman is such a classy, gracious lady. The men's team could do with her managing them aswell.

Congratulations Lionesses 👏👏👏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Noooo!!!

Let them find their own.
She’s ours! 😂

With the cricket and the rugby as well this has been a sporting weekend for Britain to rejoice over.

Bukkie Sun 27-Jul-25 22:33:16

Merlotgran - I meant she is capable of doing both. I don't want her to leave the Lionesses.

Nah! Men are twice as much work! 😂

What a fantastic night! Good news for once.

merlotgran Sun 27-Jul-25 22:54:34

Prince William watching the penalties. 😂

OMG that was really good. The men could take a leaf or two from the girls as the girls are much better, cleaner players.

I was aware of a couple of names but I seem to know them all now.

They have done this country proud.

The young girl in the line-up was there in keeping with UEFA tradition that they like to give a child with special needs a place in the medal ceremony.

Well done the Lionesses. Spain had the upper hand through most of this match but as our girls said later, they have English blood in their veins which means they never give up.
As I said to my sons and SIL's, who are all waiting for the men to win something, "If you want something doing.................."

Both teams played so well. Penalties were probably the fairest way to sort it!! Well done England.
Hope your DGS has a good time RosieandherMaw and picked up a few tips!
