England ended more than a half-century of frustration with a 2-1 victory over Germany on Sunday in the final of the Women’s European Championship.
A record crowd of 87,192 — the largest ever for a men’s or women’s match in the history of the Euro tournament — was in attendance at London’s Wembley Stadium to watch England complete its title quest on home turf., “so I’m going to lap it up and take every single second in. The legacy of this tournament and this team is a change in society. We’ve brought everyone together.”
The victory set off raucous celebrations not just on the field and in the stands but also in pubs and at watch parties across England. The home side’s quest attracted enormous interest in the soccer-mad nation, and the Lionesses did their part to bring the women’s game further into the spotlight.
