Football has come home to England.

Do you think it gets better than that? Fans and social media commenters have the best comments.

  • Highlights: England 2-1 Germany
  • The Queen leads tributes to Lionesses

The captain of the team called the victory the beginning of a journey.

The defender said that the tournament changed society.

The person who scored the winner in extra time has had an incredible journey.

There were people in the stadium.

The win means a lot to fans.

On the Match of the Day Facebook page, Plaw wrote that she was impressed with all the ladies. You are a group of people who are inspiring. A big well done to you all. I can't wait to see how this will affect the young girls of our country.

Well done Lionesses. We can finally say that it's coming home, because you have made us proud.

"After decades of supporting the England men's team and being let down by impudence from players, bad luck and negative tactics, this tournament has been beautiful," wrote Mr Carlton in one of the top-rated comments on the website. Thank you, ladies, for all your hard work.

The Lionesses have made England proud and given women's football a shot in the arm. It's a huge triumph to beat the eight-time champion.

Ten years of taking my daughter to training and matches, watching in rain and snow, consoling her when they lost, was worth it when I saw her face when England won, and they lifted the trophy!

The beginning of women's football was written by another person. I hope it continues to grow, they are pioneers. You should go to games. Let's get involved. The big picture is something to see.

One male football fan shared his experience of how the tournament had changed his own outlook, saying "I've gone from, 'women's football is a joke' to, 'I can't wait for the Women's World Cup' this evening" I corrected, not because they won, but because of how much it meant for them to win, and how comforting it was for the Germans.

Young girls were enjoying the match.

The eight-year-old who became famous after her own stomp rendition of 'SweetCaroline' at the semi-final against Sweden enjoyed it more than anyone. She gave the player's match-worn shirt to her at Wembley.

She seemed to enjoy herself.

It looks like women's football is in good hands.
