      Phil Foden a doubt for tomorrow's big game. I think Southgate might start with Grealish, go for the early goal and hope the noisy crowd becomes the 12th man for England.

          Her Majesty has sent a message of support to Gareth Southgate and his men:

            So are we for the eyeties or the poms?

            Italy have played the best football but I think I’m actually going to support the English here. Not least because Italy’s trophy cabinet is not what you’d call bare. Southgate seems like a jolly decent chap too.

              I haven't got tickets for the game tomorrow but England's team hotel is round the corner from me.

                        I feel there is a gaping home in this analysis. Neither have been in recent starting 11s, so who is dropping out of the 11 for Grealish?

                          @Rapido Foden was starting games at the beginning of the tournament. Grealish started against the Czech Republic and played a prominent role off the bench against Germany.

                          Finals are time for leaders. Henderson and Grealish (both club captains) in the starting line-up. Rice and Saka can sit on the bench.

                          Pickford, Shaw, Stones, Maguire, Walker, Phillips, Mount, Henderson, Sterling, Grealish, Kane

                                Yep, Southgate and Co. staying about 1 km from the Sparky cave. Could be a noisy night if they win.

                                          I'm not a a huge football fan but normally follow England in the major tournaments. I haven't watched any games in the Euros and, surprise, surprise, England are in the finals.

                                          I was at Cardiff in 2007 for the RWC Quarter Final against France so the Curse of the Meldrews exists and is real. Therefore I will not be watching the Final tonight in the hope England will win the thing....
