And another added: "Nahhh, bruh, imagine if Italy won and they all started dishing out Fish and Chips."
After the game, boss Wiegman said: "I thought at 88 mins, wow, OK, well we have to score a goal or we are going home.
"When the injury time was shown and there were seven minutes left, I thought, that gives us the time we need to create another chance.
"But of course the clock keeps ticking and you are thinking maybe it won't come.
"But we play to win, we play to get these moments and we are a team that never gives up."
The Lionesses will face either Spain or Germany in Sunday's final, with the two heavyweight nations set to meet in this evening's second semi-final.

The Chase star Mark Labbett apologises for his 'bursts of anger' on Celebs Go Dating - as quizzer admits he 'got quite grumpy on set'
The Chase's Mark Labbett has apologised for experiencing 'bursts of anger' while looking for love on Celebs Go Dating. The professional quizzer, 59, admitted that the filming schedule of reality TV was drastically different from what he is used to and as a result, he lost his temper on set. He told The Mirror: 'I'm used to being in a pre-planned environment on The Chase, where timings are strict, but reality TV can go on for longer and the days end up ending later than you think.' Mark, who has publicly stated that he believes he is on the autism spectrum but not been diagnosed, said his mental health suffered on the show. The star added: 'For me, the one thing I found was that you need a social battery recharge, and as someone on the spectrum, that's something I really need.' He also revealed that his suspected neurodivergence has impacted his dating life as he finds people hard to read. Mark now plans to take the lessons he has learned from filming the show into any future contracts to ensure he does not act in an unbecoming manner again. He said: 'I got quite grumpy on set. I did apologise to everyone, but, in the future, I'd definitely have it in my contract that I need breaks to have a nap and recharge.' As well as admitting that he got moody on set, he also explained that he was impacted by his diabetes. He revealed: 'I wear a glucose monitor and on one of the nights, my glucose level went off the scale.' This prompted his co-star Kerry Katona to joke: 'And Mark went off the scale too!' Even though the show was a 'learning curve' for the star, he said that he is still looking forward to its release. Mark's grumpiness was not the only issue he faced in his latest attempt to find love and he also had a health scare on the set of Celebs Go Dating, which temporarily halted filming. The presenter suffered what's known as a hypoglycaemic attack - an event caused by a person's blood sugar dropping too low, resulting in symptoms like shaking and sweating. Mark (pictured on the far left) said that even though Celebs Go Dating was a 'learning curve' for the star, he is looking forward to its release Recalling the moment, Mark said: 'One night, I had a hypoglycaemic attack. 'I might have been a bit grumpy that night. I apologised to everyone after.' Mark was previously in a relationship with TV presenter Hayley Palmer, 43, but the pair split a week after their first anniversary last year. It was Mark who decided to leave the relationship, blindsiding Hayley when he ended their romance over the phone. The Chase presenter later put his reasoning down to their 16-year age gap and stressed to The Sun that he was 'very lucky' to have dated her for a year. Prior to this, he was married to Katie Lawrence, 32, who was 27 years his junior. The couple were together for seven years and share one child, a son, but parted ways in 2020, with their age gap once again cited as a contributing factor in the split.

Newcastle launch improved bid for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko
Newcastle have raised their bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Manchester United had still to submit a formal offer for the Slovenia international as of Monday afternoon. Newcastle's first bid was worth an initial €75m (£65.5m) with a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons but the Tyneside club are now guaranteeing the Bundesliga club at least €80m. United opted to prioritise a move for Sesko over Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins but the 22-year-old's price tag is creeping up now Newcastle have increased their initial offer. Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben is said to have held positive talks with Leipzig on Monday. Sesko is thought to be waiting to see what United do before making a final decision on his future. However, Leipzig are reported to be unwilling to sell Sesko below their stated expectations on a fee. On Sunday, Omar Berrada, the United chief executive, said the club's director of football Jason Wilcox and his recruitment team were working 'around the clock' to make further additions to the squad. United wanted to sign Liam Delap at the start of the season but the striker turned them down in order to join Chelsea from Ipswich for £30m. 'We have a team back home led by Jason – the recruitment team – that is working around the clock to ensure that we continue to find opportunities to strengthen our squad. There are lots of late calls and early morning meetings to make sure that we stay on top of it.' Newcastle's move for Sesko comes amid continuing uncertainty over the future of Alexander Isak. The Sweden striker has signalled his desire to leave St James' Park. Liverpool had a £110m bid for Isak rejected last Friday.

Crystal Palace DELETE all information about Conference League from their website just hours after draw - ahead of CAS battle with Nottingham Forest to be reinstated into Europa League
Crystal Palace have distanced themselves from the UEFA Conference League – just hours after being drawn in the competition's play-off round. On Monday afternoon, Palace's official website briefly published an article detailing their potential opponents in Europe. Monday's draw paired the Eagles with either Norwegian side Fredrikstad or Danish club Midtjylland, with the first leg scheduled for August 21 at Selhurst Park and the return fixture a week later on August 28. But by Monday evening, that article had been deleted. The original link now returns a 404 error, reading: 'The page you're looking for has either been moved, deleted or simply doesn't exist.' In addition, no European dates are listed on the club's online fixture schedule. The removal of the content underlines Palace's resistance to playing in the Conference League, with the club still fighting to overturn their controversial demotion from the Europa League. Palace have taken UEFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being bumped down a tier due to multi-club ownership rules. The club were removed from the Europa League because American businessman John Textor — through his Eagle Football Holdings group — held a 43.9 per cent stake in Palace while also owning 77 per cent of French side Lyon. But Palace have since deleted any mention of the Conference League draw from their website Both clubs had qualified for the Europa League, and UEFA rules prohibit two teams under the same ownership or influence from competing in the same European competition. With that in mind, UEFA chose to keep Lyon in the tournament and demoted Palace to the Conference League. Lyon were deemed the 'priority club' due to Textor's majority control, and because UEFA's MCO rules state that the club with the higher domestic league finish retains its place. Lyon had finished sixth in Ligue 1, while Palace were 12th in the Premier League — even though Palace qualified via the FA Cup. Palace argue that UEFA's application of the MCO regulations contradicts its own competition rules, and have taken their case to CAS, where a hearing will take place on Friday, with a verdict expected next Monday. Palace say Textor had no controlling interest in the club, with only 25 per cent voting rights, and that the issue has since been resolved — with New York Jets owner Woody Johnson signing a legally binding agreement to buy the shares, pending Premier League approval. Speaking to Reuters last month Textor said: 'Honestly, I am stunned. We did everything possible to separate from the club, as UEFA would ask, with a sale process that began before the deadline, and a sale that will occur well before the draw. Now we have sold out of a club that I love, to help Palace fans continue this dream year, only to have another off-the-pitch decision lay waste to an historic sporting victory.' Club chairman Steve Parish also hit out at the ruling, calling it 'a terrible injustice.' He told Sky Sports: 'Everyone knows we're not part of a multi-club set-up. We're caught up in a rule that wasn't put there for us. This is a ludicrous decision. We will ask the appeal court to listen to our argument.' Palace also believe they were treated more harshly than Nottingham Forest, who were granted extra time to adjust their ownership structure to avoid a potential conflict with Olympiacos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis. In the end, Olympiacos qualified for the Champions League, meaning no clash with Forest ever materialised. Forest, who initially qualified for the Conference League, have been promoted to the Europa League, subject to Palace's appeal outcome. Mail Sport understands Forest will send legal representatives to the CAS hearing to defend their place in the competition. The case is part of a broader crackdown by UEFA on multi-club ownership. Previously, clubs like Manchester City and Girona, and Manchester United and Nice, were allowed to compete in Europe by placing one club in a blind trust, preventing any operational crossover. But UEFA has signalled this will no longer be a viable long-term solution. UEFA quietly moved the compliance deadline forward from June 1 to March 1 for the 2024–25 season — and Palace argue that they were caught out by this change, having only reached the fifth round of the FA Cup by the March deadline and still being uncertain of European qualification.
