England team receive amazing send-off from fans

As England’s players departed St. George’s Park for the final time, they received an unbelievable send-off from thousands of fans who turned out to wish their heroes good luck.

When you consider how isolated St. George’s Park is, it’s quite remarkable that so many England fans were in attendance.

Those on the coach sounded equally surprised by the turnout. “You’re all the best!” and “It’s coming home” can be heard on the footage.

How did Italy reach the Euro 2020 final?

With home advantage, England head into Sunday’s final as the narrow favourites.

However, Italy haven’t lost a match since September 2018 and have been superb at this summer’s European Championships.

Roberto Mancini’s side won all three of their Group A matches (against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales) without conceding a single goal.
