Read our privacy policy England’s Lionesses are poised for the game of their lives, with the whole country hoping they “roar to victory” in their first Women’s World Cup final. “That’s something that we dream of.” England’s 3-1 semi-final victory over co-host Australia on Wednesday was the most-watched game of the tournament, but the final is set to be viewed by millions more. It comes after sports broadcaster Gabby Logan, who is set to host the BBC’s coverage of the game, said she was “disappointed” that William – president of the Football Association – was not going. On Thursday, Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said: “I’ve asked councils to do everything they can to help pubs get open earlier on Sunday, so people can come together and enjoy a drink before kick-off for this special occasion.” In Cornwall, the local council and police have already announced they will not take enforcement action for early opening during the big match.
