So England have reached their first International Final abroad.

The Euro 24 Final will be played in Berlin on Sunday the 14th July between Spain & England.

Spain have been the team of the tournament so far & have won all their matches.Β 

They fully deserve to be the favourites to beat England on Sunday & take the trophy back to Spain.

But England have been improving game by game, & England were very close to their best in the first half in their semifinal against the Netherlands.

It is going to be a fascinating match, can England tame the Spanish firepower?

What will be Gareth Southgate's tactics, will he make changes to the England line up, or will he keep the same side & rely on substitutions as he has all this tournament.?

Can England win their first international tournament since 1966. Will that make Southgate our most successful England Manager?

Lots of questions to be asked. Those questions will be answered by the end of Sunday. A Sunday which could become an Historic day for English football.

    Repeat the same plan as the Netherlands, Spain will want to retain the ball and attack. This will natural allow space to open up, we just need to keep in check our creativity and ensure that we don't make mistakes when passing. Some are fine, but if we give the ball away easily - Spain are one of those teams who can quickly turn nothing into a counter attack.

    Attacking carefully but directly, it will put pressure on Spain. We have the quality to make their defence have a nightmare for 90 minutes, but they also have clever players who can make it difficult.

    I will be watching with @super_ram, if he'll have us over again. :D

    Should Cole Palmer,Ollie Watkins & Luke Shaw start the game against Spain on Sunday?

    Those two players gave England an extra impetus of movement & pace that eventually opened up the Netherlands in the last minute of the game.

    England had become increasingly pedestrian up until they both came on.

    Southgate talks about the merits of his squad system, but making substitutions so late isn't always going to work.

    I believe Luke Shaw should play instead of Trippier because he's better on the left side. And I think Watkins should come in for Kane because for me, Kane looks jadedΒ 

    Thoughts?

    Goal to Spain.Β 

    It's been coming. England just invited Spain onΒ 

    Spain 2 England 1

    England have themselves to blame. Whenever they're not trailing they sit back and only start attacking when they go behind.
