England fans celebrated the Lionesses booking their place in the World Cup final the only way they know how - by indulging in “Sweet Caroline”. Neil Diamond’s iconic song has become an anthem for the national side, with hundreds swaying together and cheering in Boxpark Croydon after the European champions beat the tournament co-hosts 3-1 in Sydney. After last summer’s success, England now have eyes on the biggest prize of all - the World Cup. The Lionesses face Spain in the showpiece event at Stadium Australia on Sunday 20 August.

Brian Blessed delivered a passionate, dramatic recital of the lyrics to Three Lions (It's Coming Home) on Newsnight last night (15 August), in honour of the Lionesses, who are moments away from taking on Australia in the World Cup semi-final. The actor stared directly down the camera as he chanted: “It’s coming home! It’s coming home! It’s coming! Football’s coming home." Should they win this game, it will be the first time the Lionesses have reached a World Cup final. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Tennis star Jessica Pegula has responded to the now viral gaffe at the Canadian Open which saw the song 'Cotton Eye Joe' play during a crucial point in her game against Iga Swiatek. The American upset the world number one in three sets to reach the final however there was only one moment that tennis fans were talking about after the contest. During a tie-break in the second set, Swiatek was serving at 3-4 when inexplicably the 1995 school disco classic 'Cotton Eye Joe' by Rednex started to play over the tannoys. The moment shocked those in attendance in Montreal and play was briefly paused. Speaking at the post-match press conference 29-year-old Pegula said that the she thought the moment was "funny" adding: "I've never had that happen, let alone with ‘Cotton-Eyed Joe.’ I was, like, ‘Is this really happening right now?’ Of all the songs. It was just, like, what is going on?” However, it wasn't all fun and games as she would go on to lose the tie-break. Even more annoying for her was the fact that the return she played just before Cotton Eye Joe blasted out of the speakers looked to be a good one. She said: "Yeah, it was a bummer because I hit a really good lob, and she barely got it, and I had a really good play on the ball, and she was kind of out of position from the lob that I hit. "So, I mean, I don't know if I would have won the point. Maybe. I would have been up 5-2, but that doesn't mean I'm going to win the tiebreaker. I think the wind started shifting, so I felt like I was really against the wind on that side, the side that that point happened on." Despite the setback Pegula still managed to defeat her Polish opponent and will now play either Elena Rybakina or Liudmila Samsonova in the final. Have your say in our news democracy.
