England football enthusiast lost her job after phoning in sick to go to watch-live Euro 2020 semi-final played between England and Denmark.

According to details, Nina Farooqi, a digital content producer had been at Wembley in London watching England's semi-final win over Denmark, after a friend offered her a ticket and was later fired after her employer spotted her on TV at the game.
Nina was pictured screaming and jumping in the air, with an England flag wrapped around her shoulders, after the team scored a goal against Denmark.
The image went viral and her employer saw it after she was called and told about her dismissal.
The digital content producer told an international news agency that she has no regrets to be fired.
Ms Farooqi realised she had gone viral when she began receiving messages from friends around the world saying they had seen her on television celebrating.
"There is a bit of regret, no one wants to get fired. But then also I would have hated the regret of missing out. I’d do it all over again," she said.
England defeated Denmark 2-1 in Wednesday's semi-final and play Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley on Sunday.
England beat Denmark to reach a first major final in 55 years.
