Ellen White: What does England striker's Women's World Cup celebration mean?

After tapping home England’s second goal in their 3-0 World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway, striker Ellen White celebrated in familiar style.

Once the ball hit the net, she lifted her fingers up to her eyes as if to make spectacles around them.

It has become a familiar sight for fans of the Lionesses, with White netting five times in France as Phil Neville’s side have charged into the semi-finals of the competition, where they face a meeting with the winners of France’s clash with the USA on July 2 in Lyon.
