The players deserve to go back home as heroes," said boss Mark Sampson. And they did. The tournament dark horses reached the semi-finals for the first time and were seconds from an additional 30 minutes against Japan when Laura Bassett agonisingly put through her own net. It was a cruel end to a campaign underpinned by defensive steel, though Sampson's charges ultimately finished as the highest-ranked European side with a 1-0 extra-time success against Germany in the match for third place – their first ever defeat of the continental champions in 21 attempts.</p><div class=" newsText newsRelated fr "><div class="relInfo-Wrap"><span class="relInfoLbl">Related Items</span><ul class="bulletList"><li><a title="Qualifying group draw" href="/web/20151010123619/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=2236356.html#qualifying+group+draw">Qualifying group draw</a></li><li><a title="The latest photos" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151010123619/http://www.uefa.com/womensworldcup/photos/index.html">The latest photos</a></li><li><a title="Seven make knockouts" href="/web/20151010123619/http://www.uefa.com/womensworldcup/news/newsid=2258982.html#seven+make+knockouts">Seven make knockouts</a></li><li><a title="Neid's final push" href="/web/20151010123619/http://www.uefa.com/womensworldcup/news/newsid=2253640.html#neids+final+push">Neid's final push</a></li></ul></div></div><p><strong>Germany (fourth)</strong><br/>Germany have ruled Europe since 1995 but aspirations of completing Silvia Neid's reign by re-establishing global domination ended against the United States in the last four. Célia Šašić won the Golden Boot as top scorer (pipping the United States' Carli Lloyd with fewer minutes played) in the run to the semis but, only a few days after her penalty prowess had helped edge out France, she missed from the spot with the score 0-0.
