David Beckham sends good luck message to England Lionesses ahead of crunch World Cup semi-final against Australia

DAVID BECKHAM has sent a good luck message to England's Lionesses ahead of their Women's World Cup semi-final.

Sarina Wiegman's side are set to face Australia in the last four of the tournament as they aim for a spot in the final.

And they have now received a message from England legend Beckham, 48, ahead of the crunch match.

He said: "Hey girls. I just wanted to say wow. What a tournament it's been so far.

"It's been so much fun to watch.

"And we're all so proud as a nation of what you've achieved already.

"But seeing you girls play as a team. It's been really incredible. So continue to do so.

"Good luck in this next game and just know that our whole nation is behind you. As Always."

He added: "Keep inspiring these girls because it's incredible to watch.

"And I'm very, very happy that you're doing it for this one, good luck girls."

The Lionesses reached the semi-final after defeating Colombia in the quarter-final.

They came from a goal behind to win the tie thanks to strikes from Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.

The Aussies got the better of England when the sides last met in April - but that was a friendly.

However, England are yet to lose a competitive match under Wiegman.

And the Lionesses have continued to prove that they can produce a result when it matters, no matter the circumstances even if they are facing the host nation.

Beckham never reached a semi-final with the Men's team during his playing career.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG ace was part of the golden generation that never reached its full potential.
