Georgia Stanway says she can feel the country uniting behind England before next week’s Euro 2022 semi-final. Stanway scored the winning goal in England’s quarter-final victory over Spain on Wednesday night, a moment she described as “the greatest of her career”, and revealed that members of the men’s team that reached last summer’s European Championship final have been in touch to offer support and advice.
According to figures released by the BBC, England’s thrilling comeback against the pre-tournament favourites in Brighton was watched by 9.1 million viewers, of whom 7.6 million watched the live coverage on BBC One with another 1.5 million on the internet.
