A third quipped: “Dunking on Italy & then having pizza.”

And another added: “Nahhh, bruh, imagine if Italy won and they all started dishing out Fish and Chips.”

After the game, boss Wiegman said: “I thought at 88 mins, wow, OK, well we have to score a goal or we are going home.

“When the injury time was shown and there were seven minutes left, I thought, that gives us the time we need to create another chance.

“But of course the clock keeps ticking and you are thinking maybe it won’t come.

“But we play to win, we play to get these moments and we are a team that never gives up.”

The Lionesses will face either or in Sunday’s final, with the two heavyweight nations set to meet in this evening’s second semi-final.
