Coleen Rooney sends heart-warming message to England stars after Euro 2020 heartbreak

England's Euro 2020 journey ended in heartbreak after they were defeated by Italy in a penalty shootout at last night's showpiece final.

The FA has released a statement to condemn the "disgusting" racial abuse directed at the players who missed the penalties - and this has prompted a huge wave of support being offered to the players who took England to their first major tournament final in 55 years.

Coleen Rooney is the latest to offer her thanks to the Three Lions - as she took to Twitter to state how proud she and the family are of the whole team.

The wife of England's highest ever goal-scorer shared a snap of herself and the family outside Wembley with a heart-warming caption to thank the players for the moments they have provided this summer.

She said: "Not the outcome we all wanted but you have done yourselves and your country SO proud over the past weeks England. My boys have had an unbelievable experience and made great memories, thank you…… have a well earned summer:"

England raced into the lead in yesterday's game after Luke Shaw capped off an excellent team goal, but the game was eventually forced into penalties after Leonardo Bonucci equalised from close range in the second half.

Penalties have proven to be England's familiar foe in major tournaments - and this was to be the case again as they were eventually defeated 3-2 in the final shootout.

Coleen Rooney is currently still involved in the "Wagatha Christie" case with Rebekah Vardy - and found out last week that parts of her defence in the libel battle will be thrown out by a High Court Judge.
