England win Women's Euro 2022, but the tournament's biggest victor is the sport itself

The song has been something of a curse for English football since being released in the buildup to Euro '96, but finally, after so many heartbreaking near misses for the nation's men and women, England has a team of winners to celebrate in Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses.
