My son is at peak excitement over Sunday. He has no idea he will be at the game and it is such a hard secret to keep. But if i told him now the next 48 hours would see him combust I think. At 10pm last night, when he should have be long since asleep, he was telling me our Kalvin made 28 pressures in the mid 3rd of the pitch against Denmark compared to "only 9" from Rice and that Kalv made 37 pressures overall and the next best player "only had 17" and so we had to discuss for an hour about Kalvin being a machine.

Great. But I can't keep this up until Sunday at 8pm.

Grealish and Foden should be in the starting line-up!

There's surely no chance he makes such a drastic change for the final. I think one of the main reasons England have played so well is that Southgate has ignored the media pressure to start them all. Sterling has proven him right and Rice/Philips are a huge part of the defensive record. I don't think England would have gone 55 years without a final if other managers had the same courage.

That’s true. I like how Southgate ignores the media narrative. Agree about Rice and Phillips. I just think Grealish and Foden are a good addition for goal assists.

I’m a Wales fan through and through but I can’t deny that ‘Southgate You’re the One’ is a tune. It’s catchy and Southgate was absolutely rocking that waistcoat back in 2018. I kept seeing him and thinking “this is the same guy that played for Middlesbrough back in the day?”. A glow up 😂

How old is he? Just wondered. My 37 year old son in law is football mad and got a call last week from a friend ask him
For his passport details. He say why? And his mate said because I have got 4 tickets for the euro final and one is for you ( presume the passport is for id)
Look out for him he’s 6ft 9! Only joking enjoy
