England’s glamorous WAGs descended on Germany once again as they cheered on their men to victory in the semi-final against the Netherlands. 

Jordan Pickford‘s stunning wife Megan led the way as she took to the stands once again in support of her goalkeeper husband. 

Wearing an England top teamed with a glamorous white and blue blazer and skirt combo, she was joined by the likes of Love Island’s Dani Dyer – girlfriend of Jarrod Bowen – and Aine Kennedy, Conor Gallagher’s partner. 

Always first to show her support, Harry’s Kane’s loyal wife Kate was in her Three Lions shirt, ready to see her husband bring it home for England. Harry and Kate are childhood sweethearts, and started dating when they were just 16. 

After boarding another private jet from Manchester Airport to Germany, Kyle Walker‘s wife Annie Kilner was also in the audience.

It comes amid a difficult time for the couple – as Kyle was revealed to have fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman – but she has still turned up to support him at every game so far.  

Annie – who has vowed not to ‘play happy families’ with Kyle in Germany, opted to keep it casual for the game, pairing a black strappy top with off-white jeans. 

Taking a similar approach was Anouska Santos, Luke Shaw’s girlfriend, who wore grey joggers with her own football shirt and Shaw’s famous number 3. 

Dani Dyer looked nervous as she watched on from the stands while out supporting her boyfriend, England player Jarrod Bowen, with whom she shares twins.

The Three Lions faced The Netherlands in the Euros semi-final in Dortmund, Germany, on Wednesday, and eventually claimed a 2-1 victory. 

Dani looked nervous as she sat observing the match from the stands, sporting an England shirt and denim shorts.

The daughter of actor Danny Dyer was seen sipping on a drink as she tucked her honey and brunette ombre locks behind her ears ahead of the match.

Megan meanwhile has been a regular sight at Pickford’s matches, before and after their marriage in 2022.

And the WAGs have shown nothing but utmost dedication this Euros tournament, with the likes of Tolami Benson and Katie Goodland – the partners of Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane, cheering them on each match.  

Earlier, Megan shared a snap to her social media account showing she was ready for the game in her England top. 

Keeping to her on-theme colour scheme, the stunning WAG opted for blue patterned shoes, teamed with an eye-catching red handbag.

‘Please don’t take me home @jpickford1,’ she captioned the post, alongside several heart emojis.

She wasn’t the only partner showcasing their support ahead of England’s semi-final match against The Netherlands in Germany. Ellie Alderson, partner of England player Ollie Watkins, took to her Instagram to cheer on the squad.

She posted selfies showing off her sporty football top in support of the team ahead of tonight’s game, which kicks off at 8pm.

Posing in front of a mirror in one of her snaps, the radiant partner teamed her cropped T-shirt with white jeans and matching sandals.

Finishing her look off with a smattering of glamorous makeup, she opted for stylish sunglasses and a fashionable handbag.

Captain Harry Kane’s wife Kate Goodland also posted a photo to her Instagram account with the caption: ‘Come on England!!’

Smiling for the camera, the stunning mother-of-four sported an England shirt, teamed with an eye-catching silver necklace featuring a heart shaped pendant.

Ollie Watkins struck to send England to their second successive European Championship final as Gareth Southgate’s side dug deep to see off the Netherlands.

The eyes of the nation were fixed on Dortmund on Wednesday evening as the Euro 2020 runners-up looked to seal a shot at history in Sunday’s Berlin showpiece against favourites Spain.

Harry Kane’s spot-kick cancelled out a superb Xavi Simons opener before Watkins stepped off the bench and wrote his name into the history books by sealing a 2-1 triumph in the 90th minute.

No English men’s team has made it to a major final on foreign soil before and now they have the chance to become European champions for the first time this weekend.

Southgate’s side played their best football of the tournament during a breathless first half in which Kane scored a contentious penalty after Simons struck an early blow.

England lost control but the bold decision to replace Phil Foden and Kane with Cole Palmer and Watkins paid off magnificently, with the former feeding the latter to turn and strike the momentous winner.

Southgate only made change from the Swiss clash and saw an encouraging start undone before the mist from the pre-match pyrotechnics had fully lifted.

Declan Rice was uncharacteristically dispossessed in his own half and could only watch Simons continue to slam beyond Jordan Pickford from 20 yards in front of a rocking orange wall.

It was a seventh-minute gut punch that England reacted well to, with Bart Verbruggen having to get down well to stop a long-range Kane laser skipping past him.

The skipper tried his luck again after Bukayo Saka was blocked out and writhed in agony on the deck after striking over, clutching his right foot.

As Kane held his fluorescent boot VAR Bastian Dankert advised Felix Zwayer to review the pitchside monitor and the much-discussed referee controversially pointed to the spot.

Denzel Dumfries was booked for his what was adjudged to have been a reckless challenge on Kane, who ignored the noise to fire past the goalkeeper’s reach into the bottom left corner.

The 18th-minute equaliser sparked England’s best period of the tournament to date, with Dumfries having to clear off the line after Foden struggled to get the ball out of his feet before slipping through Verbruggen’s legs.

The Dutch right-back sent a header onto the crossbar at the other end as he battled for the main billing with Foden, who soon clipped the outside of the far post with a left-footed curler from 25 yards.

The Manchester City star then saw a low effort saved after the impressive Kobbie Mainoo flicked it to him towards the end of a bright first half that Memphis Depay did not finish through injury.

Luke Shaw replaced Kieran Trippier at the break, when Ronald Koeman turned to towering striker Wout Weghorst in place of Donyell Malen as he sought to change the dynamics.

The second period began with long spells of England possession without purpose, with the Dutch failing to click when they tried to threaten.

As Southgate’s side faded, the orange hordes found their voice and Pickford prevented them from celebrating in the 65th minute by showing quick reactions when Virgil van Dijk met a fine free-kick.

Kyle Walker made a timely challenge on Gakpo, with Simons then striking an effort into the floor and the goalkeeper’s grasp.

England did not so much as muster a second-half shot in response but thought they had scored in the 79th minute.

Walker ran behind and Saka fired home his cutback, only for the flag to be raised for offside – a decision quickly ratified by those in the VAR booth.

Foden and Kane were replaced by Palmer and Watkins after that disallowed goal – an eye-catching double change that proved a masterstroke.

As fans and players braced themselves for another extra-time period, Palmer sent a low ball through for Watkins.

The angle looked too tight but the confident striker turned before Stefan De Vrij could react, lashing a low effort past Verbruggen in front of the stunned Dutch fanbase.

Koeman’s men could not conjure up a leveller and the full-time whistle sparked bedlam as England progressed to Berlin.
