<\/p>\nDespite losing out in the World Cup, the England Lionesses have done the country proud as they made their first-ever final.<\/p>\n
Spain went 1-0 up in the 29th minute through an Olga Carmona goal, and they didn't look back.<\/p>\n
England threw everything at the Spanish side, but sadly they just couldn't find a way past the Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll.<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales have led the good wishes to the team following the defeat.<\/p>\n
