ZURICH -- As Smilla Holmberg's final missed penalty flew into the Zurich air, the entire England squad raced towards goalkeeper Hannah Hampton in celebration. Manager Sarina Wiegman stayed near the bench and jumped into her assistant Arjan Veurink's arms. Moments later a bloodied Hampton [thanks to an earlier collision that left her with a bloody nose] was submerged under the other 22 England players as the Lionesses used up all nine of their lives to progress past Sweden on penalties to reach the semifinals of Euro 2025.
"It was hard," Wiegman said afterwards.
