England advanced to the final after beating Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane, England, on Wednesday, July 27 yesterday. Sarina Wiegman's team will meet Germany in the final match.

His adorable act among the crowd then got an unexpected reward. He was given a ticket to watch the final which will be held at Wembley this weekend.
The ticket was given by the BBC Breakfast host after Tess was interviewed after the action was watched live by approximately nine million viewers of the media. He was invited along with his grandmother, Susan, to the interview.
On the occasion which was attended by Arsenal legend Ian Wright, Tess admitted that she wanted to watch the final, but did not have a ticket. The host then promised to give him a ticket.
"I know you will be very happy to see it (at Wembley). How about being in the stadium with us?" asked Gabby Logan who had interviewed Tess.
"Because I have a few tickets and I would love to, from the BBC and everyone here to give you tickets and you can take someone with you," Logan continued.
Tess responded happily to hear that she was about to get a ticket to the final she really wanted to see. He admitted that he did not realize that he was caught on camera.
"It's amazing. I didn't know I was on TV until my mom got a lot of text messages from people. I just danced and enjoyed myself," she said.
"I was singing Sweet Caroline and then my mom started getting messages. It was really weird being on TV, but it felt great. We were a little surprised when she came on screen, I must say," she added.
The England women's national team has never won the Euros. Their best finish is just two runners-up in the inaugural edition in 1984 and the 2009 edition, the last year they reached the final of the event.
