Dan Tree: Everyone should be tweeting Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford their support. They have done the nation proud the past five weeks. They will be feeling awful right now but they had the guts to stand up and got us to the final.

Arsenal
Arsenal have released a statement in support of their player Bukayo Saka after he was racially abused on social media.
"Once again, we are sad to have to say we condemn the racism of a number of black players," it reads. "This cannot continue and the social media platforms and authorities must act to ensure this disgusting abuse to which our players are subjected on a daily basis stops now.
"We have processes in place internally at Arsenal to ensure our players are supported both emotionally and practically on this issue but sadly there is only so much we can do.
"Our message to Bukayo is: hold your head high, we are so very proud of you and we cannot wait to welcome you back home to Arsenal soon."
BBC News
Former England defender Danny Mills tells the BBC News Channel: "How can you go from loving England's players to three hours later there being horrendous abuse?
"Bukayo Saka is 19-years-old. It's more than just five or six people."

Jay: If you're tweeting racist things about the England team you're a disgrace! These young boys did the whole country proud and the only thing those fans did is let us all down. Embarrassing!

Scott Firth: Am I the only one that’s not content with reading the players did us proud and are inspirations? I didn’t want to be inspired, I wanted to be a jubilant Englishman seeing us become footballing champions. The World Cup will be much harder than this.
Talking of the World Cup, Scott...

Italy 1-1 England (aet: Italy win 3-2 on pens)
BBC Breakfast
Former England captain Alan Shearer has been speaking about the online racial abuse aimed at Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka.
"We spoke about this last night before the game kicked-off and there are so many positives for social media but also so many negatives," he added.
"The positives are that it allows a lot of these players to show their personality on the pitch and most of all off the pitch.
"We've seen some of the great work Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford have done.
"On the negative side, what on earth do people think about when these guys have been brave enough to go and take a penalty?
"What are people thinking about to go online and abuse these players? What is wrong with some people?
"It's just so, so sad and ridiculous and I hope that the social media companies expose these individuals, absolutely disgusting."

Hannah Joyce she/her: Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane and Harry Maguire - thank you ALL for having the courage to step up for penalties last night.
Whilst the trophy didn’t come home, football definitely did and you and every other member of the team were lions.
