This was the first major title for England -- men or women -- since the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Wembley Stadium was in a state of pure euphoria Sunday afternoon as England beat Germany 2-1 in overtime for the country’s first European Women’s Championship.
The game played out like an episode of Ted Lasso, with England, a historic underdog, getting it done with the help of substitutes Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly. This was also the first finals loss for Germany, who owns eight of the 12 Euros ever contested. Germany was notably missing striker Alexandra Popp, the first player in Euro history to score in five consecutive games. Popp was sidelined moments before the opening kickoff after suffering a “muscular problem,” an absence the Lionesses capitalized on.
After a first half that ended in a 0-0 gridlock, Toone entered the lineup early in the second half and immediately got to work. Kiera Walsh delivered a perfect through ball for Toone to chip in over German goalkeeper Merle Frohms to the roar of the crowd.
