Days like this do not come around very often. But when they do, there is almost nothing like it. Across the country something special is about to happen and we are all going to experience it together. That is the power of sport at its best.
Football is the people’s game. A sport built by ordinary working-class people and enjoyed by millions. Our inspiring young England team is drawn from diverse communities across England – Stockport, Washington, Bury and Ealing. When kids turn on their TV sets tonight they will see players who look and sound like them, and have gone on to represent their country at the highest level on a world stage.
