Good times never seemed so good! Jubilant Lionesses celebrate reaching first World Cup final with 3-1 win over Australia by dancing to Sweet Caroline in their dressing room - before Sarina Wiegman tells them to save their energy for the next game
The Lionesses celebrated reaching their maiden World Cup final, and England's first in nearly 60 years, by dancing to Sweet Caroline today - but there were only soft drinks in sight with one more step to go on the road to glory.
The team's official Twitter account posted three images from behind the scenes in Sydney, following an historic 3-1 win over old rivals, Australia.
It was captioned 'Good times never seemed so good!' - lyrics from the Neil Diamond classic which has become something of a celebratory anthem for England in recent tournaments.
Goalscorers Lauren Hemp and Ella Toone led the jubilant scenes Down Under - but focus was clearly already turning to Sunday's final with Spain, as the players were pictured with cans of Fanta and Coke, rather than champagne.
Boss Sarina Wiegman was clearly keen to keep a lid on celebrations, even telling defender Lucy Bronze to 'stop jumping' and to immediately begin preparations for Sunday's showpiece final.
Reflecting on her coach's speech after the game, Bronze said: 'She just spoke a bit about the game today, she knew the crowd was going to be a big thing and we could control the game and win the game the way we wanted to, we did all those things and how proud she was of us.
'We started jumping up and celebrating she grabbed me and said 'stop jumping, you need to get ready for the next game, let the kids do it, you stand still'.'
