At Toca Social bar in White City, a lively crowd celebrated England's emphatic 4-0 victory against the Netherlands, rejuvenating hopes for Euro 2025. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and pride as fans cheered for every tackle and pass. Attendees included a grassroots coach eager to support his girls' team and a passionate older man with granddaughters newly interested in football. Statements about the team's performance and hope for continued success were prevalent, especially regarding standout player Lauren James, suggesting a transformative moment for the Lionesses in the tournament.
The event was organised by members of the advocacy group Women In Football (WIF) and every England tackle and pass forward were cheered.

Melissa Herman, senior vice-president of global communications at Toca, admits she thought England were in for a tougher night. I did think the Netherlands were going to give them more of a game.
Lauren James was just phenomenal. I think this sends a real message to the rest of the tournament.
