So proud of each and everyone of 'em, fantastic tournament and.. we have a nice trophy to round it off. Well done girls, inspirational performances all round, buzzin'..

They've brought a new meaning to "playing like a girl"!
Hope the blokes in the game show the same coursge snd strength of character.

Some VERY enthusiastic challenges tonight from both sides.

Both teams gave as good as they got.

Tough job for the ref who did well generally.

Great game....great win!

Girls will get my vote when it comes to Sport Personality of the Year in December.

This tournament win will revolutionize the sport.

Oh and how good is our goalie? 

Thought they hit the woodwork until replay...it was a save.

I don't know how you can do a comparison. Whilst I much prefer watching England's women's team to the men I'm sure if we'd won the men's Euros at Wembley the crowd then would have stayed well after the final whistle.

Seen plenty of men's championship finals. None of them had a remotely similar post match atmosphere. Even those where the home nation won.

It’s because it’s come home and no other host nation can say that.

Prince William, our future King, dishing out the hugs.  Top class!!  What a nice bloke he is.

He looked a trifle worried when it was level pegging.

Sky Sports will be going bonkers over women’s football now. My prediction is they will scrap the 2pm Prem game now and your Sunday double header will be a woman’s game at 2pm and Men’s at 4.30pm. 

PS just for the record , I didn’t watch a single second of the whole tournament as I have no interest in it personally.

I think this could be the death of civilisation as we know it. Women will finally realise what they always suspected. They are superior to men, even in an area men have tried to keep to themselves.

If you’re a man feeling a bit meh about their achievement, it’s probably because you feel a little emasculated by girl power.

The Lionesses have done what the dopey, overpaid men’s team, with their stupid haircuts and choreographed goal celebrations, couldn’t.

In a game in which, let’s face it, they were being outplayed towards full time, they managed to turn it around and not only score, but see out the game.

Good luck to them.

Yeah but they were playing against a team of girls. 
 

Seriously though that first goal was a cracker.

The girls have shown such joy in winning and the celebrations are just a big party. 

Seems so different to the mena championships. It's half an hour after the match finished and the stadium is still well populated, the tunes are belting out and all the girls are thanking the crowd for coming. 

It's really lovely.

Whilst I agree that if the lads had won, the stadium would’ve still been rocking well after the final whistle, I doubt the mens team would celebrate in the same way.  The men are too media trained nowadays.  Couldn’t see Kane leading a conga line through the media room whilst Gareth was doing his press conference…

In that case, I have to admire your memory. As far as I can see (remarkably I have been known to be wrong) it’s 38 years since a nation last won it on home soil. It happened twice more before that but those occasions were way back in the sixties. Even the World Cup has only been won once by the home nation in the last 40 years.

I’m very much inclined to agree with you but we’re assuming rather being able to make actual comparisons.

That was the World Cup (I did say the World Cup had only been won once by the host nation in the last 40 years). 
 

I believe it is 38 years since a nation last won the mens European Championships on home soil. France again in 1984.
