The weather conditions in the UK were perfect for staying up all night and watching Japan vs England.
GOOD LUCK SLEEPING IN THE OVEN THAT IS YOUR BED BRITAIN
No dramas. Sleep is overrated...
Decisions has officially been made to stay up at watch the #Lionesses. Just to make sure I don't oversleep...
Excitement peaked.
Quite interesting watching the level of twitter interest increase in #ENG game-by-game. At it's absolute peak tonight #Lionesses
And the Lionesses started strong.
Great start from the #Lionesses, here. Including this moment #ENGvJPN (via BBC) #WWC2015
England stuck to the plan and it worked well early on.
Come on #Lionesses You've done so much for the Women's game already! (so great to see @England making the nation proud for once!) ⚽ #ENG
But there was a questionable penalty decision for Japan, spelling disaster for England.
Outside the box?
Was it really a penalty? Initial contact occurred outside the box, but if the foul continues inside the box and denies a goalscoring opportunity, it can be given as a penalty.
Japan scored their penalty. But luckily it didn't matter. England were awarded a penalty shortly after.
Now *that* was a penalty.
It was still contentious, but most England fans agreed it was a penalty.
Soft penalty, but a penalty all the same. #Eng v #JPN
Farah Williams buried it.
WHAT A PEN, mate. #Beautiful #Lionesses #ENGvJPN (BBC)
The net is still broken.
The Wembley arch was lit up for England back home.
Come on England, the Wembley arch is lit up for you #Lionesses #ENG
And even rugby players were enjoying the spectacle.
England v Japan - women's football is light years away from mens; there's no diving or feigning injury for a start.
With just over 10 minutes to go, it was getting TENSE.

Could England find a winner?
Getting tense now! England have been massively unlucky so far!! There's a goal coming very soon! #Lionesses
Going into added time, some people were starting to struggle...
Fell asleep. Score is still the same.
But then disaster struck. The cruellest twist of fate...
England crash out of the World Cup to a last minute own goal http://t.co/EdlbAlgxJn #Lionesses
An own goal from Laura Bassett – in the last few minutes of the match.
The reaction was pretty unanimous...
FUCK
Yup.
A pattern emerged...
WHAT THE FUCK
Yup.
Sigh...
Kinell
Yup.
But do you know what? England might have lost, but we're bloody proud of our Lionesses.
Devasted. Absolutely devasted. Can't fault the #Lionesses though. They've done the nation proud. #ENG
They inspired a nation.
And we're particularly proud of Laura Bassett.

Laura, and the rest of the team, inspired a new generation of footballers.
