Kyle Walker was on Lions Den yesterday which you can watch on YouTube. Comes across extremely well and really gives off the mature attitude and togetherness of this England team. Really good interview.
Euro 2020 has been unfair for fans and a challenge for teams because of the vast difference in distances they have had to travel during the tournament, says Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. Switzerland travelled the furthest, 15,485km (9,622 miles), while Scotland clocked up the shortest at 1,108km. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57778285

Did they add the extra 40 yards that David Marshall had to run to get the ball out of the net?
I know it's obviously benefitted us a lot, but i completely agree.
Said from the very outset i wasn't a fan of the multi venues, with some sides having to travel here, there and everywhere, and some teams playing 3 group games at home.
Is going to penalties the major worry for sunday? Or Italy scoring first? Or Italian dirty tricks resulting in one of ours being sent off? Anything else, or no worries at all?
If I was England I would leak the story that Pickford has spent a day looking at the Italian penalties and potential takers along with psycho analysts. It doesn't have to be true to get in the Italian's heads. Especially the ones that don't normally take pens.
My worry with penalties is I used my quota of luck up and then some in 1998. Almost seems unreal that it would work out again in the only other game that can match that
You do have to smile at the continual anti-English rhetoric plastered all over social media platforms, that was any other country I’m sure would be pointed out as xenophobic. Apparently we’ve dived, cheated and booed our way into a final where the alternative is a country who’s FA are notoriously rife with controversy and whose domestic clubs are partial to racism and homophobia on a weekly basis. Your main TV Channel tells Lukaku he should eat 10 bananas but I’m a Gammon for pointing it out. the hypocrisy isn’t wasted on these people.
The self titled ‘new chuckle brothers’ Cody and Mings said earlier on Lions Den that they’ve practiced pens everyday since they met for pre-camp.
Can practise all day every day but can never replicate the high pressure situation of an actual game, and apart from a word cup final they don't come any bigger than this.
Look at Kane the other night, you wouldn't want anyone else stepping up to take a pen for us, but it was dreadful. He does that in a shootout, then all of a sudden he's the villain.
The Football Association has been fined 30,000 euros (£26,600) for the behaviour of England fans - including a laser pointer being shone on Kasper Schmeichel's face - during the Euro 2020 semi-final win over Denmark. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57788267
I don't know but I don't regret for one minute buying my Scotland shirt and cheering on those brave boys who really care and aren't bottlers like England.

I always knew we were disliked, but nowhere near the level we’re seeing at the moment. It’s next level.
There are people all around Europe who are seemingly dedicating their week to just try and hammer England on every social media post they can find. I really don’t understand it.
As I said before, if we win - we have to ensure we are absolutely insufferable about it. I don’t care what others say about it. We need to dine on it for a long, long time.
Well I for one am astounded that our "friends" in the international community are turning against us. Who would of thought that even our near neighbours and "allies" would be saying such egregious and hurtful things because we have made a major football final?
Shocking. I refer you again to a direct quote from Grandpa, god bless him, "FACK EM!"

As has been said before we are the Millwall of Europe.
No one likes us, hooligans of most other clubs countries want to fight us on away trips, and we have a small minority of fans who cause trouble that the press love to jump on and tarnish all fans as being the same.
