Ready to go
Because we have to wait until 8 o’clock in the evening (eight o’clock!), many people are not sure how to pass the time and tension. Others were more confident and flocked to Wembley Avenue in order to start the party early.
Standard motion prediction
After so many tournaments and heartache, it still feels weird even considering England’s prospects in the important finals-but here we are!
Both teams have strong motivation and choosing a winner is extremely difficult.
This will definitely be a tense, thrilling and nervous thing between two good, confident teams, and may be determined by only one goal.
Tonight’s game can really be played in any way, maybe it’s just a little decisive mind, but I support the England team to get the extra impetus they need from another noisy home audience.
England won 1-0 and finally ended 55 years of injury, probably after more overtime!
