A first World Cup win for England over Argentina in nearly 40 years thanks to a 3-2 scoreline took Danny Kerry’s side into the Hockey Men’s World Cup semi-finals. There was plenty of reaction from hockey twitter. Here are a few tweets for your enjoyment!

Sam Quek knows a thing or two about winning medals on the world stage, but is she helping to influence England’s World Cup campaign?!

I’m not saying it’s ALL because of me, BUT @EnglandHockey Men have won every match at the World Cup where I’ve worn Red 🔴 and haven’t won a game when I’ve not 🤔

BRING ON THE SEMI FINALS 💪🏻🏑🏆- I may need to go shopping for something red though 🙈#JustSaying #HWC2018 pic.twitter.com/dwL9QNCk74

“Don’t say it.”
“Don’t say it.”
“Don’t say it.”
“Don’t say it.”

“It’s coming home.”

Could it be coming home?! #thepride #HWC2018 https://t.co/dzVxRxJWnu

Wherever some people are in the world, it won’t stop them supporting their team. Super commitment, Zoe!

It may have been a 4.30am start for me in Dallas to watch the #HWC2018 @EnglandHockey game but totally worth it. England displaying a dominant performance with 3 three incredible goals and amazing saves by @GCP01. Great work by the entire team! #SemiFinal pic.twitter.com/4EGhQtkwpc

And of course, there’s a lot of love out there for the legendary Barry Middleton!

Barry Middleton, far right, is not on social media. Cares not a jot. Had his hand taken out by a Peillat PC. Scored in his 430th intl appearance. A true underrated great. pic.twitter.com/rBlcH3Dj7O

Although if you go too over the top with your Barry love, his wife might tell you to dial it down a bit! 😳😳🙃
