13 favourite things people said about Jill Scott’s fabulous 4-letter tirade
There was no shortage of memorable moments from the Lionesses’ historic 2-1 win over Germany in the Euros final, but for sheer satisfaction this one was hard to beat.
It wouldn’t have been quite so much fun had England ended up losing, of course, but now we can properly enjoy it, captured by the always followable Matt Highton over on Twitter.
Not been watching the football, but very happily been watching a loop of this video of Jill Scott saying “fuck off, you fucking prick!” Genuinely marvellous. pic.twitter.com/CpRtHNpAnH

Jill Scott appearing in a slow motion replay screaming “fuck off, fucking prick” while beating Germany in a major final should make her clear front runner for sports personality of the year

Apart from the goals and final whistle, my moment of the match was Jill Scott clearly shouting “Oh fuck off, you prick” when a German player tried to get her booked, then the BBC having to apologise to viewers who can lipread #Lionesses

#WEURO2022 #ENGGER
Well done #Lionesses
Another victory inspired by Brexit & our pride as a free nation.
Unfortunately soccer is such a foul mouthed game & this clip of Jill Scott swearing like a striking rail worker has really let our country down.😞

And also this.
I know Chloe Kelly is obviously (and quite rightly) the focus of this soon-to-be iconic photo, but it’s so great that Jill Scott is in it too. 161 caps! Played in the 2009 final! 35! An icon! pic.twitter.com/WN64Ftzjee

Last word to the player herself.
🗣️ "We've won as an England team and it's for all"
