His son Tristan, who was caught in between his parent’s “rivalry” during the final, has since embraced his Spanish side despite wanting the Lionesses to win. “We were walking around the shops and he was going up to people pointing and shouting ‘Spain’s won, Spain’s won’. Mr Salamon said: “The penalty was hand in the mouth. My wife couldn’t look when they took the penalty, she had to leave the room.Fans from across the world were eagerly watching England battle it out against Spain for the World Cup trophy, including England fan Alex Finlayson who lives in Australia.
The religious education teacher said watching the Lionesses play was “magic” and something he has not witnessed before, noting how the perceptions of women’s football have changed compared with when he was a young boy watching the sport.He told PA: “I’m 41. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was magic.“A lot has changed since the 90s – it has united people. People were talking about ‘the game last night’, not ‘the women’s game last night’ and I think that’s excellent.
Tensions were also high during Mary Earps’ penalty save, particularly as Mr Finlayson is fond of the goalkeeper, who was awarded the Best Fifa Women’s Goalkeeper award and the coveted Golden Glove trophy.He also joked: “When ran up for the corner at the end I had visions of diving headers from the edge of the box. Fairy tale stuff, but that might be because I’m a writer and a hopeless romantic.”
