July 8 Social Zone: Must-see scenes from across London as England celebrate semi-final win
It was a wild night in London, and across England in general, after the Three Lions finally won a semi-final at a major tournament.
Soccer: We have seen good England teams before, but we're not sure we've ever seen one loved like this. Exhibit A:

Soccer: So, what is different about this England team and the 'golden generation' England teams of the past? Luke Shaw will show you...

Soccer: Although, looking at this, one might be a highly conservative estimate.
That crowd last night were a dream. 16 months of no real fan presence in football stadiums and one huge enormous outpouring of emotion over 120 mins brings back why football is special . A privilege to be inside Wembley . Helped of course by a having brilliant team to watch! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/6Z3TMHkumO

Soccer: Callum Wilson was tipped to make a late bid to be in the squad before injury, but it's nice to see him still involved.
What a team performance!! fans were unreal last night, what an atmosphere to be in and amongst 🔥🏴 pic.twitter.com/53MVmHAfLo

Soccer: By the way, if you thought that the England fans disappeared quietly into the night, we know at least one bus driver who will disagree.

Soccer: Just us, or does Rio Ferdinand look like he enjoys being an England fan a lot more than he enjoyed being an England player?
Let’s Go!!!

Soccer: Of course, the breaking news here isn't the opinion itself but the fact that, after all these years, Arsene Wenger has finally seen a penalty. A triumph for persistence. We knew you'd get the hang of it in the end, Arsene...
"No penalty, I don't understand why VAR has asked the referee to look at it!"

Arsene Wenger has had his say on that England penalty... #beINEURO2020 #ENGDEN #EURO2020

Tennis: Piers Morgan, seemingly bored of letting Andy Murray destroy him on social media over the last couple of days, decided to let Andy Roddick have a go too with amusing consequences.
Fair play. I’ll have my seat. You can have your hypocrisy…….. I will say that between you and I, one of us was number 1 at our job. You’ve had your attention now https://t.co/WDe1veej2Q
