England Advances To World Cup Semi-Finals With Win Over Sweden

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. And if you're rooting for England in this year's World Cup, you have a lot to celebrate over the weekend. England shut out Sweden and advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 1990, and fans in the U.K. went berserk with joy.

UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: (Chanting) It's coming home. It's coming home.

MARTIN: It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
