New challenge launched ahead of Lionesses' semi-final against Italy
England looked to be going out in regular time until Lucy Bronze's header kickstarted the comeback in the 79th minute to make it 2-1 and then Michelle Agyemang pulled them level two minutes later - both goals assisted by Chloe Kelly.
And ss the Lionesses gear up for their semi-final match against Italy next Tuesday, fast-food chain Wendy's will be rolling out its '4-Corner Challenge' to get the nation behind England's challenge to retain their trophy.
Through the challenge, customers have a chance to win Wendy's menu items as prizes by scoring up to four goals in a penalty-style game featuring a custom Wendy's goal.
Prizes include free Halloumi Fries, Mini Doughnuts, and even Wendy's much-loved Biggie Bag®: the Jr. Cheeseburger made with fresh beef**, 4-piece chicken nuggets, small fries, and a small drink.

Michael Clarke, Managing Director, Europe for The Wendy's Company, commented: "Women's football is soaring in both popularity and talent, and as the Queen of QSR, Wendy's is proud to be part of its incredible rise.
'Just like our square hamburgers, we believe in doing the right thing – no shortcuts, no cutting corners. That's why we're backing our passion with action through the Wendy's 4-Corner Challenge. We can't wait to cheer alongside fans for every thrilling moment!'
Against Sweden, it was defender Lucy Bronze, England's seventh penalty taker, that slammed her spot-kick into the roof of the net before Smilla Holmberg put her effort over the bar at the end of a chaotic shootout.
Sweden only scored two of their seven penalties, with England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton saving two of them, while her Swedish counterpart Jennifer Falk kept out four spot-kicks and missed a chance to win it when she put her shot over the bar.
And now Wendy's customers will need to channel their inner Lucy Bronze if they too are going to get their hands on prizes next week.
At Wendy's® – home of the iconic square hamburger – corners aren't just part of their game; they are part of their DNA.
That's why, with the nation buzzing with football fever, Wendy's is making the ultimate wager that could see fans across the UK feasting on its fresh, famous food for free.
Fancy yourself as the next Alessia Russo? The 4-Corner Challenge will roll out across the following Wendy's restaurants so grab your trainers and give it a go:
Watford – 20th July 2025, 10:30-19:00

Prince William and Kate's 'intelligent' plan for Princess Charlotte post-Harry issue
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly crafting a strategy to shield Princess Charlotte from the same challenges faced by her uncle, Prince Harry. Last month, on Sunday, July 27, William and Charlotte were spotted savouring the Lionesses' victory at the Women's Euro 2025 final in Basel, Switzerland. A Royal expert has hinted that Charlotte's attendance at the game may reflect a fresh tactic to tackle a longstanding issue that has troubled Royal siblings like Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and even Queen Elizabeth's late sister, Princess Margaret. The issue centres on the so-called "spare" Royal who struggles with feeling "overlooked and purposeless". Writing for the I, Royal commentator Richard Palmer posited that the Waleses are determined to avoid any of their children feeling less valued, thus circumventing the "spare" dilemma. READ MORE - Jet2 'sorry' as mum and kids 'traumatised' at being refused to flight home READ MORE - Motorist gets petty revenge on 'entitled' neighbour who kept parking on their drive He further explained: "In a Royal Family traditionally focused on the need to create an heir to the throne, and then a spare just in case something goes wrong, the Waleses want their children to have emotional security instead of giving special treatment to the chosen one." In stark contrast to King Charles, the couple is placing their children's needs above Royal obligations. Additionally, insiders close to the Royals told Richard that Charlotte "has inherited her mother's poise and an inner strength and confidence", reports the Mirror. Bringing her along to celebrate the Lionesses' Euros success might be part of grooming her for her future responsibilities within the Royal Family. American Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has hinted that Princess Charlotte might soon be stepping up to take on official duties for the Queen in the streamlined monarchy, with a possible focus on sports. Speaking to the i Paper, she remarked: "I think this is an intelligent way to do it. I would imagine Charlotte will be part of the picture. I'm not so sure about Louis." The term "Spare" resonates with those following Royal affairs, as it was the title chosen by Prince Harry for his revealing 2023 memoir. In his book, Prince Harry caused a global stir by disclosing private family matters. These revelations are believed to have strained Harry's relationship with his family, particularly with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Prince Harry famously stepped back from his Royal responsibilities and moved to Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, a former actress, and their children Archie and Lilibet. Recently, there has been speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales might leave Adelaide Cottage for Fort Belvedere in Windsor's Home Park Estate. Yet, Hello magazine's Royal editor, Emily Nash, casts doubt on these rumours, pointing out that her sources say "they've been very happy" at Adelaide Cottage. She highlighted their current situation: "Enjoying precious time together as a family of five, with no live-in staff and with easy access to Lambrook, the Berkshire school attended by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis." Yet, she didn't rule out the chance of them moving in the future, remarking that William, with his considerable Duchy of Cornwall income, could comfortably afford another home. Emily also mentioned there's a "precedent" for such decisions, referencing instances like the late Queen bestowing Gatcombe Park on Anne, Sunninghill Park on Andrew, and Bagshot Park on Edward.
