Alessia Russo praised England for “keeping the dream alive” as they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup. Lauren Hemp cancelled out Leicy Santos’ strike for Colombia before Russo scored the winner in a 2-1 win. The Lionesses now face co-hosts Australia on Wednesday in the last four and Arsenal forward Russo was full of praise for her side’s performance. She told ITV: “I’m buzzing, the semi-final of a World Cup, we’re keeping the dream alive. “I’m buzzing, obviously Colombia are a top team and I think they’ve shown more than that this World Cup. It was a really tough test, but so happy to get three points and be in the semis. “We’ve had to dig deep from the first game and that’s what it’s like, they have so many talented players who can cause you trouble within a second. “But I thought our back line were brilliant tonight, we kept it locked down, won and now we’re in the semis.” Hemp echoed her sentiments, saying the team were “really special” against Colombia. “What an amazing feeling. I’m absolutely knackered right now, most of the team are,” Hemp told ITV. “We put in a great performance. I think you saw the resilience in the squad and I’m so proud of this team. “I thought we controlled most of the game to be honest, they had a few counter-attacks and we knew what they were going to bring and I felt we dealt with it quite well. “Whenever we got the ball it looked like we were going to create something, I think the team were really special toady and long may that continue.” However, Russo insists there is still plenty to work on ahead of the semi-final. She said: “What makes this team great is we’re always trying to find ways to improve even after we’ve reached the semis. We’ve got lots to work on. We’ve got to get recovered, rested and go again.” The Arsenal forward is relishing the chance to face Australia. “It’s exciting, what more do you want?” Russo said. “You want to play against the best teams and obviously they’re the hosts. I think Colombia had a great fanbase out tonight, so we’ve had a little taste, but I’m so excited.” Hemp added: “I’m buzzing, it’s where you want to be. I want to play on the world’s biggest stages and obviously we’re here right now in the semi-final, I’m over the moon and can’t wait. “The atmosphere here was incredible, it’s going to be incredible again, but sometimes that’s when you thrive and we thrived again tonight, so hopefully we’ll do the same again.” England manager Sarina Wiegman hailed her team’s resilience. She told ITV: “Again, a tough challenge but we didn’t expect anything else. “Again we showed resilience, I thought the first half we played pretty good, we wanted to find spaces, we did and at moments we were too sloppy on the ball and they were really dangerous on the counter-attack, so we conceded that goal, but before half-time we came back. “The second half, that is hard, trying to push and we know they’re very dangerous up front. “Again I’m so proud of the team to how we found that score, to win those final duels and I just hope we keep the ball a little better, we could’ve finished it a little earlier.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Tara Jones set Saints on way to historic Women’s Challenge Cup win at Wembley Jurgen Klopp wants players to step up as ‘reloaded’ Liverpool look to hit stride Manchester City aiming for quadruple this season, says Rico Lewis

Kanye 'Ye' West and rumoured wife Bianca Censori have turned heads with risqué outfit choices while roaming Italy. Censori, who previously worked for West's Yeezy brand, was spotted covering her ensemble with a hotel pillow after furious locals hit back at the "offensive" choices in recent weeks. The shots show Censori in a sheer, nude bra and leggings with a purple pillow covering her chest. West sported an all-black outfit with no shoes. The photos shared to X/Twitter were soon met with confusion from fellow users, with one writing: "How completely ridiculous these people are. Put on some clothes and then you won’t have to take a hotel room cushion out sightseeing with you - and you even get your arms free! Novel concept." Another asked: "Why is Bianca walking around naked with a pillow?" Meanwhile, a third added: "Kanye & Bianca Censori are unhinged. Someone ought to stage an intervention. Wearing a pillow? Him walking in socks?" The pair have not been shy of controversy while travelling Italy after photos captured the rapper exposing his bare bottom at the back of a boat in Venice. The images prompted the boat company to issue a ban for life, adding they were "completely unaware" West had dropped his pants, as they were focusing on water traffic. A source for the Venice Police told the Daily Mail : "There are standards of public decorum that have to be followed by tourists and locals alike and any breaches are severely punished. The images of West with his trousers down while in a taxi as he and his partner crossed the lagoon were seen all over the globe."
