England's fans celebrated a thrilling victory against Italy at Euro 2025, with many making last-minute travel plans. A group of fans traveled without overnight accommodation, returning to their campsite in Lucerne. Nerve-wracking moments were reported by fans, including 15-year-old Izzy, who felt emotional during the match. Emma, Izzy's mother, expressed pride in Lauren Hemp's performance, hailing from North Walsham, while Michelle Agyemang's stunning contribution from the bench captivated supporters and illustrated the impact of the Lionesses in the tournament.
The tournament has reached that heady stage where plans are excitedly patched together on the hoof; there is something about the logistical dilemmas behind plotting routes to a major final that clears tired minds and bleary eyes.
It was so nerve-wracking. Then Michelle Agyemang scored and we just flipped.
For Emma, an English teacher who has seen interest at her school surge with the Lionesses' progress, there was particular pride in watching Lauren Hemp star for Sarina Wiegman's side.
The pair were sitting two rows from the pitch at Stade de Geneve, level with the halfway line, offering an intense picture of those frantic final moments when England pulled it out of the fire.
