Last year, Stephen Flynn, the Commons SNP leader, posted a joke picture of himself pretending to cry when England’s men’s team were defeated by Spain in the Euros. Will Flynn, known for his Pavlovian anti-English sporting sentiment, now be crying real tears (Euros win one of the most magnificent heists in the history of English sport, 27 July)? Let’s hope so.

• Jonathan Liew’s piece really conjures up the emotion and mood of the Women’s Euro 2025 final. He writes lyrically and almost poetically. He has to be the football equivalent of rugby union’s Eddie Butler.
