The World Cup is delivering drama both on and off the pitch, and England supporter Jolie Sharpe just added a major dose of sizzle to the tournament.
Sharpe, who has been making waves online throughout the competition, posted a stunning swimsuit photo over the weekend that sent her followers into a frenzy. The timing couldn't have been better—it came right after England pulled off a heart-stopping 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16 at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
The match itself was a thriller, with Harry Kane leading the Three Lions to an impressive win in what many are calling the best atmosphere of the entire World Cup. But it was Sharpe's photo that stole the spotlight on social media.
Fans flooded the comments with fire and heart-eye emojis, calling her “stunning” and “amazing.” One simply wrote, “England!”—as if the photo itself was a victory lap for the nation. The reaction was so intense that it quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend.
Sharpe isn't the only one turning up the heat this summer. Erling Haaland's girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen also made waves with a swimsuit snap, and Paige Spiranac's patriotic July 4th look had fans buzzing. The trend of athletes and personalities sharing bold swimsuit content is clearly alive and well.
While Sharpe's photo is generating plenty of buzz, the World Cup action continues on Monday with two more Round of 16 matchups: Spain takes on Portugal, and the U.S. faces Belgium. Both games promise high stakes and even higher emotions.
For England fans, the win over Mexico was a statement. For Sharpe, it was just another reason to celebrate—and her followers are loving every second of it.
