  6. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:37 #7927

    England reach the final of Euro 2026!!!!!!

  7. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:33 #7926

    Chloe Kelly steps up with her trademark skip but Italy keeper saves - before she follows up to fire home!!!!!

  8. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:33 #7925

    Unbelievable!!!!!!

  9. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:32 #7924

  10. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:32 #7923

  11. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:32 #7922

    Chloe Kelly steps up....

  12. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:31 #7921

    Beth Mead is held in the box!!!! Oh my word!!!

  13. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:31 #7920

    Penalty to England!!!!!

  14. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:30 #7919

    Penalty!!!!!!!

  15. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:30 #7918

    Ageymang hits the bar!!!!! Inches away from putting England ahead after lifting the ball over the keeper - so close!!!!

  16. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:19 #7917

    And we're off for the second half of extra time with the score 1-1...

  17. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:16 #7916

    HT ET: England 1-1 Italy after 105 minutes - 15 minutes to go until you know what...

  18. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:15 #7915

    104 - Chloe Kelly powers down the flank and lifts the ball into the box but the ball is cleared

  19. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:01 #7914

    Right. Now for 30 minutes extra time. Again. How are you feeling?

  20. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 22:00 #7913

    FT: Italy 1-1 England - What drama after the equaliser from England's new star. Although anyone who knows AWFC could have told you the talented 19-year-old would make the difference after Wiegman switched her with Arsenal colleague Russo, even if she should surely have been brought on far earlier. 

  21. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:57 #7912

    Michelle Ageymang!!!!!!!!!!! You absolute star!!!!!!!!!

  22. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:56 #7911

    GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

  23. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:45 #7910

    Linari booked for hauling down Lauren Hemp - England have a free-kick as the clock ticks down

  24. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:43 #7909

    SAVE - Hannah Hampton makes a superb point blank save

  25. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:42 #7908

    Sub - Leah Williamson and Alessai Russo are the players to depart with strikers Ageymang and Aggie Beever-Jones - come on England it's now or never!

  26. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:40 #7907

    Here we go. Michelle Ageymang is set to come on - but surely Wiegman should have brought on the 19-year-old Arsenal striker 20 minutes ago?

  27. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:37 #7906

    Surely it's time for Michelle Ageymang to be brought on? Sarina?

  28. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:34 #7905

    Surely it's about time for a change - there we are - Arsenal's rockstar Chloe Kelly comes on for Georgia Stanway

  29. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:33 #7904

    Official attendance given as 26,539 in the State de Geneve this evening

  30. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:33 #7903

    75- A good ball whipped in by Bronze leads to Russo squeezing the ball wide

  31. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:32 #7902

    73 - Double change for Italy - Bonansea and Cantore replaced by Severini and Cambiaghi

  32. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:31 #7901

    Italy keeper Giuliani - who to be fair has had a good game - is booked.

  33. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:28 #7900

    69 - Greenwood attempts to pushe down the left flank but Oliviero comes across to shield ball out for a goal kick. Greenwood, annoyed, knocks her down...

  34. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:25 #7899

    Russo not Russio obviously. Apologies, my Aperol Spritz is kicking in...

  35. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:24 #7898

    61- Russio powers down the flank before crossing low but Italy keeper Giuliani gathers

  36. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:22 #7897

    Calm and composed distribution from Hannah Hampton under pressure there

  37. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:15 #7896

    Greenwood's corner well-claimed in a crowded box by Italy's keeper Giuliani

  38. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:13 #7895

    55 - Kiera Walsh works space outside the box before drilling a low shot just past the post

  39. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:07 #7894

    49 - Lauren Hemp's header flies over the Italian bar

  40. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 21:02 #7893

    Sarina Wiegman makes one change at the interval by bringing on Arsenal's Beth Mead in place of Lauren James who looked like she'd picked up a knock

  41. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:49 #7892

    FYI: England are behind at the interval for the third time in five games...

  42. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:48 #7891

    HT: England 0-1 Italy

  43. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:46 #7890

    One minute to be added on at the end of the first half with Italy leading holders England 1-0 in Geneva

  44. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:38 #7889

    37 - CHANCE - Italy keeper Giuliani saves well from Lauren James after a sweeping move forward from the Lionesses

  45. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:36 #7888

    Italy go 1-0 up with a well taken goal by Bonansea after Lenzini and Cantore dovetailed well down the right flank

  46. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:32 #7887

    32 - GOAL: England 0-1 Italy

  47. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:28 #7886

    Good to note the applause from England fans in the 16th minute for Jess Carter (who wears No16) after the racist abuse she suffered online

  48. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:24 #7885

    And here's Italy's Giuliani, Lenzini, Salvai, Linari, Di Guglielmo, Caruso, Giugliano, Bonansea, Oliviero, Girelli, Cantore Substitues: Baldi, Schatzer, Severini, Piemonte, Piga, Bergamaschi, Serturini, Goldoni, Boattin, Greggi, Cambiaghi, Durante.

  49. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:24 #7884

    ICYMI: Here's England's starting line-up England: Hampton, Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood, Toone, Walsh, Stanway, James, Russo, Hemp Subs: Moorhouse, Charles, Mead, Le Tissier, Clinton, Carter, Agyemang, Kelly, Beever-Jones, Park, Wubben-Moy, Keating.

  50. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:19 #7883

    CHANCE! 19- Alessia Russo fires narrowly wide

  51. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:16 #7882

    England's ever impressive support is in the majority in the State de Geneve, outnumbering Italy's fans

  52. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:14 #7881

    56.5% possession for England in the first 10

  53. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:13 #7880

    CHANCE - Lauren James tests Italy keeper Giuliani

  54. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:09 #7879

    A bright start from the Lionesses - certainly better than the opening stages against Sweden

  55. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 20:01 #7878

    And we're off with England in black and Italy in green

  56. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:57 #7877

    Both teams in their away kits - excuse the ignorance, but does anyone know why?

  57. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:56 #7876

    The national anthems are being sung right now. Kick off is moments away in Geneva

  58. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:48 #7875

    In other team news Esme Morgan has replaced Jess Carter possibly as a precaution to protect the former Chelsea defender after she was abused online after the Sweden game. All the team and fans are right behind Carter with momentum growing to force social media companies to do far more in terms of finding the despicable culprits behind such unacceptable behaviour

  59. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:42 #7874

    Talking of Arsenal players Alessia Russo also starts for England vs Italy - with rockstar and semi-final game changers Chloe Kelly, Beth Mead and Michelle Ageymang on the bench, as well as Lotte Wubben-Moy

  60. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:40 #7873

    The team news has dropped and it's good news as our legendary Leah Williamson has been passed fit to play

  61. Layth Yousif Gooner Fanzine editor : 19:39 #7872
