‘My heart rate is 120 right now. Damn it’s so tense,’ wrote another.
‘My heart rate reached 137bpm during the penalties and I’m not even a football fan…’ another said on Twitter.

This morning, England manager Gareth Southgate savaged the abuse of his players as ‘unforgivable’ after they were trolled by racists overnight.
He blasted mindless social media morons who bombarded Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho with vile slurs after they missed penalties during the team’s Euro 2020 final loss.
The England boss hit out after Prince William and the Prime Minister branded the abuse unacceptable and sickening after the defeat by Italy at Wembley.
Facebook, which owns Instagram, this morning said it had tried to remove comments and accounts directing abuse at England’s footballers, but many were still visible this lunchtime.
The huge tech firm insisted: ‘No one thing will fix this challenge overnight, but we’re committed to keeping our community safe from abuse.’
Twitter said it had taken 1,000 racist tweets down and suspended accounts.
