    Come on England let's do it. Wonder if there are any fans, appreciate they will be in the latter years who were there in 66.

    Sitting here hoping the lads show the "old guard" of the past 50+ years how  it is done.  I'm sure they have the ability, if only they can hold it all together.

    But I don't think anyone has yet raised the question of the day...




    ...Will John Terry photobomb the celebrations at the end??? :)

    Speaking as a neutral, I just hope the game lives up to the tournament and the hype...

    Enjoy it, and I hope you'll be pleased with the result.

    Good luck to an eminently admirable England team.

    Videos all over social media of people breaking through the covid check/ticket activation point. I had heard rumours of people tailgating through the turnstiles on Wednesday night so presume this is what they'll try.

    We might be bidding for the 2030 World Cup, we'll be judged by how things like this are dealt with. I hope some of the fans don't let down the country.

    it will have nothing to do with how our fans behave. It will be just about how much money we can bung the selectors.

    No Phil Foden, not even on the bench after missing training yesterday

    Trippier in, Saka out as expected. Get a goal first half and kill them off with the 'finishers' in the second.

    Gutted. However he will be a big player over the next 10 years. I’m sure his time will come.

    Oh christ they're showing that 1966 world cup footage again. Every tournament without fail.

    It's the under 3.5 cards that's going to do for you there I reckon.

    Getting that nervous energy now, got my little man in his England kit, but no doubt he be asleep soon, the step kids asking cute little questions and are allowed to stay up to watch the game but no tablets or phones.

    I've seen some of the footage and part of me missed not being with the lads tonight, but the hope to witness something potentially once in a lifetime with the missus and kids, is some that will always be treasured.

    He showed his talent against Croatia, we'd be talking very differently about him had his effort gone in against them - Probably didnt help he got an early booking into the tournament so was brought out to be protected and never got going again as Saka took his chance.

    Geoff Hurst looks in very good shape. 
    Not suggesting he makes the bench, mind you.

    English fans in the videos above causing trouble are a national embarrassment and are why we've never hosted a tournament for years.

    Yes, with so few of the 66 team alive now, great to see him so healthy

    Legend 49 appearances 24 goals. Never made the 8th round matches in 1966 WC selected v Argentina in the QF and scored the winner 1-0, played against Portugal in the semi and we all know what happened in the final the only game I couldn’t get a ticket for 😞. It’s been a long wait, c’mon England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ffs !

    I think having a forward called Immobile is the best bants ever.  Are they taking the piss out of Bogle?
