England dream another dressing room party vs Sweden

England will be hoping next Tuesday’s Euro 2022 semi-final brings another dressing room party after players celebrated their quarter-final victory over Spain with karaoke, dancing and pizza.

The Lionesses endured a nervy evening on Wednesday as they went behind for the first time in the tournament when Esther Gonzalez put Spain ahead in the 54th minute. But England fought back, with Ella Toone equalising in the 84th minute before Georgia Stanway won it in extra-time with a stunning strike.

Sarina Wiegman’s players had celebrated with a sing-a-long after a record-breaking 8-0 win over Norway a week earlier and the same ensued after they booked their place in the semi-final.

‘We had a few tunes on, a bit of singing and dancing,’ an ecstatic Toone said. ‘I think Sarina knows and she said to us we have to celebrate the little moments because they don’t come around often in football.

‘Rach Daly loves a bit of Celine Dion so we had a bit of that on and then a bit of ABBA came on and that was mine so I just took the dancefloor. Everyone loves it and everyone was getting involved because it was a special night and one well remember for a long time.

‘So we celebrated tonight, we celebrated with the fans, we’re proud of ourselves, I’m sure we’ll enjoy the night and then our focus switches to the next game.’

England’s semi-final will take place at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane next Tuesday.
