    Couldn't take sitting around all day with nervous energy so I've just done 90km bike ride. My legs are completely f'ked now and I think I'll fall asleep before kickoff!

    Just supposing England are 3-0 up, two minutes of normal time to go and only 2 subs used. Would you see Southgate giving a few players who haven't played in the tournament so far a few minutes?

    Would that be too risky? 
    Or is he not that nice?
    You mean like sticking Ramsdale and Johnstone up front?!?! Yeah let’s do it. 
    No - in that scenario the players who have got us there deserve to be on the pitch when the greatest moment of the career comes around 
    It was a joke.
    I couldn’t find the post above yours to quote against and it didn’t appear in the reply even though it did in the body of text when I was writing it.

    I think it’ll be an unchanged team

    It's gonna be tough Italy's 33 game unbeaten run is up there with Huddersfield.
    And we all know what happened to that run…
    Losing in the final didn't count, same as losing on penalties wouldn't count.

    Same. 

    Pleased Italy don't play 3 at the back or we may have been tempted to match it when I think we should stay unchanged.

    3/5 ATB would be interesting. Especially if we use Mount. Could go very well or very poorly.

    there is absolutely NOTHING (other than a world war or two) like sport to get the people all together .. In pictures: England's excitement ahead of Euro 2020 final - BBC News

    Very poorly. 

    Jorginho is the danger man. We cannot let him have lots of space in the middle to pick out passes to the wingers.

    It feels a bit like the lull before the storm. Come on England! Come on Southgate. Your chance to fix history.

    Are people seriously suggesting that Southgate has got it wrong and saying it will go badly before the team is announced?

    The scenes outside Wembley hours and hours before kickoff are just mental, I am not sure I have ever, ever seen anything like this. 

    I was born in 68 so missed the WCF so jot sure what it was like but the pyro, the noise, the atmosphere just wow!

    When you reach a final for the first time in 55 years, you can't get it wrong. Being 56, I appreciate how long 55 years is!

    I’ve learnt not to be so dismissive. I’m backing it.

    A couple of posts above a long the lines of he does x it will go badly.  Which is more subtle but means the same.

    Shaw from the left, Mount from the right, depends what the team is 😉.

    4 hour walk in the lakes. Hardly a soul around. Watching the tennis, pizza, beer and then the match. Although I would love to be at Wembley it's pretty bliss here!
