England's Euro 2022 party is in full swing - and now the fans get to join in too

England’s Women’s Euro 2022 title-winning party is likely to go on for some time, but the Lionesses aren’t planning to stop here.

Sarina Wiegman’s side ended 56 years of hurt in England and secured the women’s national team’s first major trophy with a win over Germany in a nail-biting final.

England are European champions doesn’t sound half bad

The Lionesses were superb throughout the tournament and are more than worthy champions

Ella Toone’s delightful chip was cancelled out by Lina Magull’s poacher’s finish, meaning the Wembley showpiece was taken to extra-time.

The tension went up a few knots in the extra 30 minutes but it was England who prevailed with Chloe Kelly’s toe poke from close range in the 110th minute proving the decisive moment.

The nation is in party mode and the players are certainly lapping their history-making win up.

Wiegman’s post-match press conference was briefly halted as numerous members of the squad came dancing in chanting ‘football’s coming home’, much to the delight of the manager and all the journalists in the media room.

Then in the changing room, the squad belted out every party tune that came on the speaker, with Georgia Stanway dancing and Mary Earps leading the songs, while the squad continued partying on the coach back to their London hotel.

And fans could join them on Monday morning.

The Football Association announced the team will celebrate with fans in Trafalgar Square from 11am.

But there could be more to come from this special group of players, with Lucy Bronze eyeing glory next summer.

When asked what’s next for this England side, Bronze told talkSPORT: “The World Cup?

“There would literally be no words to win the World Cup.

“We’re in a great position right now and we’ve got to enjoy being European champions because not many people can say that.

“No English player has ever been able to say that and now us 23 stand alone as the first ones to do that.

“We can enjoy the moment.”

Bring on Australia and New Zealand 2023. The Lionesses want world domination next!

It was possibly the best karaoke party ever

Captain Williamson had a signed poster of Kelly Smith in her bedroom as s child and, across the bottom of that picture, the former Arsenal and England player wrote to her young fan: “Dream Big,” she wrote. “That’s what every girl should be able to do.”

Now fans get to continue celebrating with the players in London on Monday
