British media personality Piers Morgan is revelling in Australia being knocked out of the Women’s World Cup.

England proved too strong for the Matildas and ran away to claim the 3-1 victory and book their spot in the final where they’ll take on Spain.

As the celebrations began, English fans delighted in the dominant display. But Morgan saw it as an opportunity to deliver potshots at Australia after the Aussies claimed victory in both the Ashes and netball World Cup over England in recent weeks.

He was at his ruthless best in the lead up to the contest as he poured fuel all over the rivalry fire.

“You know what to do Lionesses, make Ashes of the Matildas,” he tweeted.

It was after the win that he took his antics to the next level and once again dragged up the most controversial moment from the recent Ashes series.

“England’s fabulous Lionesses crush Australia’s wilting Matildas 3-1 in their own back yard to reach the Women’s World Cup Final … sweet revenge for the Jonny Bairstow Ashes runout debacle. Congrats ladies- you’ve made your country proud!” he wrote.

The tweet attracted plenty of backlash and saw Morgan cop it from all angles, but that wasn’t going to slow him down.

Australian cricketer David Warner stoked the fire the day before the match when he tweeted for the Matildas to “keep an eye out in case the Poms ask to change the ball”. A reference to the controversial fifth Test incident.

Morgan took his opportunity as he quoted the tweet with a brutal reply.

“No need mate, it kept its shape despite repeatedly whacking the back of Australia’s net,” he wrote.

England’s Test captain Ben Stokes also took umbrage in watching England take down Australia with one cheeky post.

Ella Toone scored the opening goal of the contest in the 36th minute when she sent a rocket from inside the box into the upper corner of the net.

Stokes saw his moment to strike and took the opportunity with both hands.

England showed their class after Sam Kerr produced a moment of magic that put Australia back on level-pegging in the second half.

The win means England will play Spain for the 2023 Women’s World Cup on Sunday, while the Matildas will play Sweden on Saturday night at 6pm at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium in the 3rd placed playoff.

It’s the first World Cup Final England have made having lost in the last two tournaments at the semi-final stage.

For Australia, while it was two wins from where the nation had hoped, it’s the Matildas best ever finish at a World Cup.

There were touching scenes on the field after the match as the entire Australian squad formed a heart-shaped huddle.
