00:21How is your heart beating?
00:30And England now reach out and touch it.
00:39England's no more penalty.
00:42Never, never before.
01:00Jared Southgate looks to the skies and offers up a word.
01:06And England win on penalties!
01:24Suddenly, suddenly all things seem possible!
01:43Shoot!
01:45Man, shoot!
01:52He's on a penalty shootout.
01:54I can't believe it. It's unbelievable.
01:56It's unbelievable.
01:58He's a penalty whisperer.
02:11Harry Maguire got out biggest.
02:15And Maguire does it again!
02:17It's a win!
02:20It's Lingard's cross.
02:22It's Deleone's finish!
02:25For Justin Dunn!
02:27Oh, my!
02:28Stop from Hickford!
02:30The Three Lions are dreaming indeed!
02:35Go!
02:38Go!
02:39Go!
02:41Go!
02:42Go!
02:44The Three Kings are hitting...
02:45Good way!
02:46Blue!
02:51Good boy.
02:52It is the world cup semi final for England since...
02:5719 ged?
02:5890!
02:5990 minutes for these young England players to write their name in history.
03:03It's coming 2!
03:03It's coming 2!
03:04John?
03:05It's coming 3!
03:09That's coming 3.
03:11Um,
03:12Coming home is coming home.
03:14Coming home!
03:14Coming home!
03:15Have you not heard?
03:17Coming home!
03:19Thank you!
03:21England!
03:34The coast of 66 lives on for England.
03:56No one expected that game to reignite this band's passion for the national team like this.
04:01Well, I mean, just two years after the horror of losing to Iceland, they've done so much to restore England's
04:06reputation and reconnect the public to their football teams.
04:09But now the dust has settled, right, so there's also a question that's going to haunt us.
04:13Will we ever get a better chance to reach a World Cup final than we've just had?
04:30Southgate had history in his hands and the first World Cup final since 1966 in his sight.
04:35It's because of his expectation, right, to reach fever pitch after England's at the league.
04:40But that Luka Modric, I mean, he took control of the game and Southgate's men faded.
04:44As the game wore on, they just looked physically and mentally drained.
04:48Pickers kicked the ball long 40 times in total instead of working it up the field.
04:51And, you know, couldn't find a white shirt to save his life.
04:56Harry Kane, he lost the ball a total of 21 times.
05:01As history has often proven, England are, psychologically, for some reason, very vulnerable to going up and then bedding down
05:11for the age-old long period of agony.
05:13The whole team, exhausted, reverted to playing it safe under pressure, less free, less fearless.
05:19OK, all right.
05:20A lot to unpack and learn from. Thanks. Anyone else?
05:23Without apportioning blame, and this is with respect, Pippa, I really do mean that,
05:28but the amount of time we spent on the warm and fuzzy stuff, which I'm not against.
05:32But why then, in the end, was it the mindset that gave in?
05:35It doesn't mean the work was wasted, Mike.
05:38It means we got further than any other team in decades.
05:40But learning how to sustain your psychological resilience over a whole tournament, that takes time.
05:47It takes more work on this, not less.
05:49If we spent more time drilling the lads in midfield on how to cope with Modric and co, then maybe...
05:54OK, all right, OK.
05:56And what would they be in your picture in a press now, Pippa?
06:00The penalty whisperer or whatever, you...
06:02Hey, that's not me, OK?
06:05I did not put that out there. No, we not.
06:07I have not, and I would not put myself in the spotlight.
06:10Ever.
06:13OK.
06:16If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
06:19Hey, look.
06:20The good news.
06:22We all came in here, unexpected, last minute, stitched something together at high speed, and look what we did.
06:27Now we have the time to begin building our New England.
06:31Proper tactics, style of play, culture.
06:39Remember, this is a longer story.
06:41And we're actually ahead.
06:43Ahead of the clock.
06:44It's the World Cup in four years.
06:46That's the goal.
06:47We had hoped that one would be reaching the quarterfinals, act two, semis, act three, victory.
06:51But we did one better.
06:53And more than that, the failing in the country.
06:57We should be proud and confident now, going forward.
07:01Something is working.
07:02And we're ahead.
07:13Look, sorry, I got testy back there.
07:17We all just...
07:19We care.
07:21I care, Mike.
07:22Uslaw, the back room.
07:25We don't go out on the pitch to the fans.
07:28It's for the gaffer and the players.
07:30Gareth asked us to share in it all as a team.
07:33Otherwise, I never...
07:34Gareth's a nice guy.
07:35Too nice.
07:37But what's best for him is to be the figurehead.
07:41To take the glory and him alone.
07:44Because he sure as hell will take the blame when it all goes to shit.
07:52I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honour of my life to hold.
07:56To serve the country I love.
08:01Good afternoon.
08:03The time has come to give strong leadership and to change this country for the better.
08:08The British people have had enough of waiting.
08:12Even in the darkest moments, we can see the bright future ahead.
08:32From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction.
08:37You must stay at home.
08:39In the UK, 798 people have now been infected.
08:43Up by 200.
08:44Government are determined to clamp down early.
08:4753 recorded deaths across the UK.
08:50Record-breaking.
08:51Leading to the suspension of the Premier League until 8.
08:53Well above the capacity of NHS...
08:56And the government says...
08:57...to over 1,000.
09:01World sport has come to a standstill.
09:04I hope in the years to come, everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this
09:10challenge.
09:12And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.
09:18But the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet, good-humoured resolve...
09:23And a fellow feeling still characterise this country.
09:28The pride in who we are is not a part of our past.
09:33It defines our present and our future.
09:38We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return.
09:45We will be with our friends again.
09:48We will be with our families again.
09:51We will meet again.
09:53Till we have built Jerusalem
10:00In England's green and pleasant land
10:20It feels almost, I don't know, like a church.
10:24That sort of hush.
10:27Still, Pele always said Wembley was the cathedral of football.
10:32Arguably, it's, you know, your stuff about stories, almost perfect in a way.
10:37The world of football returning here in pilgrimage.
10:41It really is coming home.
10:44It's confirmed.
10:46We would host it here instead.
10:48Presponed for a year, but yes.
10:50The plan to share the Euros, different countries, nice idea, lovely in fact, but with Covid never going to happen.
10:58UEFA's asked us to pretty much host the lot.
11:05Hosting.
11:07Adds expectation, doesn't it?
11:11It demands something.
11:16And so I just wanted to say that.
11:20You just wanted to say...
11:22That the universe has conspired to give us the best opportunity to end this, Gareth.
11:29Home advantage.
11:32End this quest to bring it back, to restore something in us, in England.
11:38And if that means a change of emphasis, yes, culture, happiness, is everyone okay, but now ruthlessly towards winning.
11:50It's always been about winning, Greg.
11:53If you use everyone okay stuff, that's always only ever been about getting the best out of them.
11:58But we set a timetable and the Euros are only act two.
12:03Too much too soon, mate.
12:06Undo some of them.
12:07I know, I know, but events and all that...
12:11Events.
12:12Dareth.
12:37Dareth.
12:38Dareth.
12:42The Tewis.
12:43Why don't you wait to do this?
12:48Dareth.
12:51Dareth.
12:54Dareth.
12:55Dareth.
12:57Dareth.
12:59Dareth.
13:01Dareth.
13:03Dareth.
14:05A tournament at home. So, what about training? A camp of sorts? That's possible.
14:12Yeah, complicated. Might have to bubble, sort of, as a squad. Not simple, but...
14:16Yeah, and fans in the stands, or...?
14:18Limited test schemes, big crowds.
14:20Oh, that'll be weird.
14:21Yeah, might have to pump in sound or something to give it Atmos.
14:27Squad.
14:31Look, Gareth, you're a loyal bloke.
14:36But this is a tournament at Wembley.
14:40We're going to have to make some tough decisions. The under-21s, the talent that's there, ready, waiting. We need
14:48to make room for it.
14:49Yeah. Remember something you said? When all this started, before Russia, you wanted England to feel young again.
14:59That was you.
15:02I think that might have been Tony Blair.
15:05But, yeah, I think I stole and repurposed that. Yeah.
15:08Well, a new story. New England. This is our time. Nice is nice. But winning is winning.
15:35Oh, Eric. It's Gareth.
15:41Yeah, it's just...
15:43It's just this tournament, you know?
15:46It feels like THE tournament that, uh...
15:48I'm sorry, Eric. What you did for your country.
15:52That fifth penalty.
15:56But if the most use I can be for the team...
16:00Is to not be in it, then...
16:03Thanks, Eric.
16:05I'll see you soon.
16:45No.
16:48I'm good.
16:49Yeah.
16:51You know, I get it.
16:52I've not been informed and, you know,
16:55I don't need my hand holding or my arse wiping.
16:58I'm not a child, so...
17:00It's not about being a child.
17:03It's about normal feelings of disappointment.
17:06So, if you want to talk...
17:08God's talking going to change.
17:10It won't change it.
17:13So...
17:14OK.
17:16But I think you might have my number.
17:17Do you have my number?
17:19Uh, yeah.
17:22Yeah, I think so.
17:26Thanks.
17:48You're going to do some therapy on me?
17:49No, but I'm here if you want to share what you're thinking.
17:53If you want to chat.
17:54What I'm thinking, um, right?
17:57I think I'm thinking about, uh...
17:59You know, the vibes now are all about trust
18:02and be vulnerable and you are safe here.
18:05Fucking great.
18:07Glad I trusted.
18:08That worked out well.
18:10It's about trusting others with what you're going through, Deli.
18:14The good and the bad.
18:15And there's always going to be bad in sport at this level.
18:17But do you think I don't fucking know that, Pippa?
18:34I don't know who that is.
18:38That name.
18:40I don't want to speak to those people no more.
18:41They're not my family.
18:43I went to live somewhere else.
18:46Fucking passed around.
18:49Like, fuck them.
18:56Not fuck them.
18:58I just don't know.
19:01I feel that.
19:06Following me around on my back.
19:11I had a lot of...
19:13very different from you.
19:15But my family growing up wasn't stable.
19:19And I learned how to close those feelings down.
19:24Keep small.
19:25And I feel so lucky that I realised later how wrong that was.
19:31That everything we're worried and frightened about just becomes bigger.
19:36In the dark.
19:38All I'm saying is, always share this stuff, Deli.
19:42Make it less big.
19:49What's the matter anyways?
19:53When you're being dropped.
19:57Always being dropped.
20:11England hosting the Euros.
20:12It's the first home tournament since Euro 96.
20:15What a summer that was.
20:16The sun, Sean, and country games together.
20:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:20I mean, after all that we've been through in the last year and a bit.
20:22I just want to feel connected again and...
20:25I want to feel part of something.
20:26Yeah.
20:26I wanted to feel like the summer of 96,
20:28except this time we go on and whenever.
20:30But for a long while,
20:31we've not been feeling too good about ourselves in this country.
20:34Look, I think even the TV and football coaches are just now.
20:49I can't.
20:50I'll be right back.
20:51I'm glad.
20:53I'm glad.
20:56I'm glad.
20:58I'm glad.
21:00I'm glad.
21:20Oh, my gosh, boss.
21:22Sorry, I'm eating a chump.
21:24I have been following the nutrition plan, I promise.
21:27Yeah, yeah, it's okay. Just this once.
21:30One of these in my Bible.
21:32Maybe like my desert island things, you know?
21:36That's great, Bakaio. I love that.
21:38What's your favourite, you know, bit?
21:40Uh, I don't know. I'd say the caramel, you know?
21:43Makes it sweet. It has a little something to it.
21:45I meant the Bible.
21:47Oh, uh, I don't know.
21:50It's all good.
21:51It reminds me that God is there, guiding me.
21:55That he has a plan.
21:57It's not the only one, Bakaio.
22:00Thanks, boys.
22:17What is that?
22:24Is that a trick question?
22:26No.
22:29The world is about to be focused on us.
22:34On here.
22:36And these are going to be everywhere.
22:39In every car, millions of homes.
22:42And these things can be emotive and complicated.
22:46We know that.
22:47So let's own it and uncomplicate it.
22:53I set us the task before Russia of asking the question,
22:56what is your England?
22:58And you've started to answer that on the pitch.
23:02Your character as a team.
23:04Great.
23:05Amazing.
23:06I just don't want us to be knocked sideways at, well, two things with this surprise new pressure of hosting.
23:12One, the expectation that comes with that, to do well, better.
23:16And two, the amount of, I suppose, national introspection that comes when you host.
23:22So I'm asking, what home means to you?
23:27Phil.
23:28Hello, Phil.
23:29Where's home for you?
23:30Stock Park.
23:31Jack?
23:32Uh, home when?
23:34Home now.
23:35Your origins?
23:36Oh, it's Ollyhove.
23:37And Jaden?
23:38Uh, South London.
23:40Kennington.
23:40And you're proud of those places, right?
23:43Yeah.
23:44Yeah, yeah, of course.
23:46You know, poems or paintings or the cliche of the idea of England is always hills and countryside and little
23:55village greens,
23:56but that's not where you come from, is it?
23:58Where most of the fans come from?
24:00We should be proud of that.
24:03Speak up.
24:04Declare the places you're from.
24:07I'm Gareth from Crawley.
24:09Yeah.
24:13Oh, yeah, but I'm Gareth from Crawley, which I know makes me sound like a travel agent.
24:19But for better or worse, I'm England manager.
24:22And I fell in love with this game, kicking the ball against my back wall in a small semi in
24:26Crawley.
24:27Small semi.
24:29That's who I am.
24:31Who's next?
24:32Mosbrew.
24:33South Yorkshire.
24:36Walthamstown.
24:37Washington.
24:38Tynan, where are you?
24:38England.
24:39Sunderland.
24:40Withenshaw.
24:41Exactly, Withenshaw.
24:42Those places we're told sound like shit places.
24:45Yeah?
24:46But they're our shit places.
24:47Yeah?
24:48They're the fans' places.
24:49Yeah.
24:50England.
24:50Yeah.
24:52Yeah.
24:53Being confident in our identity, knowing our story, is how...
25:05is how we're going to win this tournament.
25:11What?
25:12You think we can win this one?
25:15I think we can.
25:17Yeah.
25:17Come on.
25:17I think we will!
25:19Yeah!
25:21Yeah!
25:22Yeah!
25:38England are second favourites to win the tournament behind world champions France.
25:42There's a real opportunity here because of the array of attacking talent.
25:46Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in world football, and our biggest asset of them all
25:51is our manager.
25:52Southgate is reshaking football off the field as well as on it, encouraging the players to
25:56step beyond their role as footballers, to see that as something that helps their game.
26:01There I am.
26:02You know what this place means to me, the place I grew up, literally in the shadow of the
26:07Wembley Arch, and now I'm about to step onto that pitch and play for my country.
26:10So my message is, believe, and come on England.
26:16There's such a good feeling around these lads and if home advantage kicks in, there's no
26:20reason why we can't go all the way.
26:50Bye.
26:54Do you have a minute?
26:55Pippa, yeah.
26:57Of course.
27:00Pippa?
27:02I'm sorry, Gareth.
27:04Okay.
27:05Don't think I hold any feelings towards you or any of this, because I don't.
27:09Pippa, the Euros and the new pressure, they're under.
27:12I know, but I don't think I'm helping your story by becoming a part of it.
27:15And I really don't want to be the story, Gareth.
27:18And with you going in a slightly new direction...
27:21No, it isn't new.
27:22Okay, different.
27:24A different backroom structure and emphasis.
27:27But honestly, that's fine, because...
27:29Gareth.
27:32Hey.
27:33I say this with love and an awareness,
27:36that you're sort of trapped here, aren't you?
27:40Trapped? You think I'm trapped?
27:41But this, me here, was never meant to be my whole life.
27:45This was never meant to be the thing that defined me.
27:49This is the clock thing.
27:51Bringing it forward.
27:52Stepping up there.
27:53Because I accept.
27:54We really are pressing forward with performance now.
27:57The end result.
27:58I accept that.
27:58Gareth, our work has always been about getting their best performance.
28:01Yes, and we've made huge strides.
28:02But now, now they need to learn to win.
28:05Gareth, that's...
28:06You have everything you need to be able to win.
28:08Well, okay, but now that we're hosting, we have to.
28:11Have to prove, inescapably, that this way works.
28:15Really?
28:18Not even a bit of this is about wanting to redefine your part in the story?
28:24Gareth, you're still there, aren't you?
28:27There? Where?
28:2896.
28:29You're still on that spot.
28:31Please don't fucking patronise me, Pippa, okay?
28:35Sorry, but, like, I haven't been on that long walk away from there.
28:39Like, I haven't done that work.
28:40I know what I did.
28:41What happened to you, not what you did.
28:52I didn't decide.
28:53I can't help it.
28:55That that walk away from here has brought me right back here.
29:00A tournament here with those ghosts.
29:05All I can do, try and do, is this.
29:13Seize this moment now.
29:22And what I need to do, is step away.
29:31It's okay.
29:33It's okay.
29:37Pippa, wait a minute.
29:59How are you doing, Marcus?
30:02Alright.
30:04You're writing in your journal, that's good.
30:06Nah, I tried, but you don't believe in, like, superstitions and stuff, do you?
30:13Well, it doesn't matter what I believe, does it?
30:16What do you believe?
30:20You know, H doesn't shave if he's on a scarring streak.
30:24I think Eric's been wearing the same socks for about nine years.
30:27They all know I tacked my boots together four times before a game, but I also, secretly, I know it
30:36sounds daft, but I also look up to my nan and say a couple words.
30:46But I can't remember if I did that in Russia, when we went out for that final game, but I
30:52didn't play well, and we lost.
30:55And I know it's ages ago, but I still think about it.
30:59Well, okay.
31:03It doesn't matter when you do it, does it?
31:06Do it now.
31:07We'll do it together.
31:08Nah, come on, no.
31:09It's daft.
31:10What's her name, your gran?
31:15Cillian.
31:16Ah.
31:22Cillian, I'm...
31:30I wanted to say,
31:33your grandson,
31:36he was one of five young men back against Columbia,
31:41who did something for his country no others have ever done.
31:46And that's locked.
31:48Forever.
31:49No one can ever take that away.
31:52So, yeah.
31:57Yeah.
31:58And then your feet.
32:00Great.
32:05One, two, three, four.
32:28It is a very different type of challenge, tight surrounds, stark, close-up partisanship.
32:37This is the nuts and bolts of tournament qualifying for this emerging young England team.
32:44There's the Marcus.
32:46Raheem Sterling.
32:47And Barkley sees it home.
32:49There's Kane again.
32:51England have five.
32:56It's right!
33:31I'm sorry. I didn't hear it. I wasn't listening for it. I'm sorry. Raheem, Marcus, are you?
33:38It's fine. Look, it's not like it's the first time we heard that stuff, right? Like monkey
33:43chants and shit. It's like, oh, wow, like, so fucking original. What do you want to do?
33:48Should we, all of us, collectively say something, maybe? What? What, just like that? You think
33:53is that easy? No, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound easy. And I have
33:58been saying, and say what, anyway? What, like that racist abuse is bad? That it's
34:04upsetting? Like that needs saying? Now we should say something, right? Can't always
34:12just be you guys. They'll just tell us to show up, stick to football. They always do.
34:17You know, you talk about, with the flags, what is our England? This is a part of it.
34:22People that think that son of us shouldn't be wearing the shirt. Right, right. Because
34:27today we'll just be like, oh, well, we were playing abroad. Abroad that happens. But
34:30I'm like, no, no. It happens at home too. Our home, Gareth. Our England. He's right.
34:37This is a part of it. So you're going to include that? Talk about that? Yeah. We talk about that.
34:56So England's European Championship campaign is precisely a week away. Here is the last
35:04dress rehearsal for Gareth Southgate's squad. And England take a knee in the ongoing campaign
35:10to eradicate racism from football. Would you take the knee, Prime Minister?
35:17I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you, honestly, what I'll tell you.
35:19Is this a yes or no, from this perspective? My answer?
35:21Boris Johnson refuses to condemn fans booing England. That's absolutely fair.
35:25Nobody defends booing of the England side.
35:28And Southgate insists his squad will show solidarity with those fighting for change.
35:34So taking the knee thing, maybe it's got a broader history that seems to be taken from the game of
35:39France.
35:40English fans booing our boys was a disgrace. It's so un-English to boo.
35:47I just don't support gesture politics to a certain extent.
35:51I can't support it because I see it as a divisive, simple. I see it associated with black lives matter.
35:55There are probably other managers that may have been more likely than the woke Mr Southgate.
36:03We're wasting time arguing as to whether we should take a knee or not, rather than trying to do something
36:07about it.
36:08When he said we are about more than football, no Mr Southgate, the idea that it's right for the football
36:13team to get involved with political gestures is a mistake.
36:20I thought there'd be more sense of togetherness, maybe going into this after what we all went through.
36:26I don't know, feels so on edge, doesn't it?
36:31Maybe someone needs to say that.
36:36Like you said, sort of name it, the mood, where we are.
36:42I'm not sure people want to hear any more from us, from me.
36:46What do I know anyway?
36:48I hate social media.
36:50I'd rather eat my own face.
36:54Well I don't know.
36:57A letter then.
37:00Like wartime.
37:02A letter to home.
37:12Looking sharp fellas.
37:15That was good as you get.
37:22Look, I backed your whole like thesis.
37:25I always do.
37:26Players owning their story.
37:28But Christ, is this what you meant?
37:32Political protests and...
37:35I thought we wanted to unite the country.
37:37This, it's so, it's just, it's so divisive.
37:40It's what the players are dealing with, Greg.
37:42We can't bury our heads.
37:43We have to carry the, you know, the mood of the nation.
37:48Wow.
37:50One man, Gareth.
37:51The mood of a nation.
37:55It's good, the players, that they feel like they can express.
38:00But how do we keep this as a celebration too, that's all?
38:04I mean, don't we all need that too right now?
38:06It will be a celebration, Greg, I promise.
38:10I'm an honest one.
38:20Hey, see you in the bar.
38:24Yeah.
38:27Good morning, everybody.
38:31Nice to meet you.
38:32Yeah.
38:33You can't see the camera, we can't see you.
38:52I think this is the most divided England has ever felt.
38:55Be proud to be British.
38:57Yeah, don't we know.
38:57It's all about immigration.
38:58Criminals.
38:59Traitor.
38:59Terrorism.
39:00No, no, it's not like politically correct.
39:01Nobody wants to help each other anymore.
39:03Level up.
39:03No, Max, these farmers have robbed rights, Henry.
39:05We're in the country that we have now today.
39:07Get a job.
39:08There are no jobs.
39:08Well, there's a certain amount of self-pitch.
39:10That goes up to six months later.
39:12Listen to the working classes.
39:13Oh, gosh, more joy.
39:14How was it?
39:15Don't you like it?
39:16It really is.
39:18It's almost like something.
39:19That's not a problem.
39:20Oh, no, thanks.
39:28Dear England,
39:33I can't possibly hope to speak for an entire country,
39:38but I would like to share a few things with you as we begin this journey.
39:43It's been an incredibly difficult time.
39:47It's given us all a new understanding of the fragility of life.
39:51And in the grand scheme of things, perhaps football doesn't seem so important.
39:58And what I want to speak about is much bigger than football.
40:04I tell my players that what they are a part of, what we are all a part of,
40:11is an experience that lasts in the collective consciousness of our country.
40:19Every game has the potential to create a lifelong memory for an England fan somewhere.
40:32Why do we care so much?
40:35What I know is what is often forgotten is how much it means to the players.
40:42Players are fans, too.
40:45The idea that they don't care has become a false narrative.
40:49And we must give them confidence to stand up for their teammates.
40:55I've never believed that we should just stick to football.
41:00Of course, I know my players and I will be judged on winning matches.
41:03Believe me.
41:05But the reality is that the result is just a small part.
41:11It's about how we conduct ourselves.
41:15And how we bring people together.
41:19That lasts beyond the summer.
41:24That lasts forever.
41:43The journey starts here.
41:45The first chapter in what England hope will be an epic tale.
41:50Starts with a rematch of the World Cup semi-final.
41:54The first score of the European Championship.
41:58And Raheem Sterling is the man.
42:00It's a good start for Townscape.
42:02Can he keep this up throughout the tournament?
42:09Looking to tease the Czech defence.
42:11Does that!
42:12And he's headed in.
42:15But England have won and they've topped the group.
42:18They will play in the round of 16 against two.
42:21We'll have to wait to see.
42:23All the talk about the ghosts of history
42:27is down to these players to take their own places
42:30in the saga of this great international mixture.
42:37Where's your spark, Wembley Knights?
42:39Boy from Wembley.
42:40Yeah, boy from Wembley.
42:42Grealish in!
42:43In court for the captain!
42:46Gareth Southgate-Penad beating Germany
42:48to his incredible list of achievements.
42:51What is lovely is we've given people another day to remember.
43:06I got a great connection on it.
43:08It was always going to end up in the back of the net with that connection.
43:10A lot of people have fallen out of local football.
43:13These guys and the manager have made people think again
43:15and how special football is and can be.
43:18Okay.
43:20Penalties.
43:22What, you think that's it?
43:24We've cracked them and we won't have to face them again.
43:26Come on.
43:54The stage is set.
43:57Harry Cade steps up.
44:25Harry Cade steps up.
44:27Into the final for the first time in 55 years.
44:33Unbelievable.
44:34Final at home.
44:35What a feeling.
44:37Obviously it's going to be a tough game against Italy but yeah, we can't wait.
45:07SACHA! SACHA! SACHA!
45:11I will find your book home
45:15To many in the world
45:20I just had to tell SACHA the other day
45:22It's not always like this, don't get used to it
45:25Right, and now to finish the job?
45:27Yeah, that's it. The finals are there to be won
45:35It was a long time coming
45:39But the best part is, it's arrived
45:43It's excitement and emotion around Wembley that hasn't been felt since
45:47You know when
45:51Are England's young lions ready for the game of their lives?
45:58It's hard not to feel the stars aligning
46:02That England should fight themselves back here at home
46:07With all its ghosts of the past
46:10And hopes for the future
46:20To the new world
46:25And to the new world
46:35This, the new world
46:37Lord, you will be the fastest
46:39And to the new world
46:47Now the game that so many have waited a lifetime to see, is underway.
46:56Walker's charging past Trippier, with Trippier who'll cross, and it's Luke Shaw!
47:04It's the start of dreams!
47:09The excitement around Wembley now has reached levels never hit before.
47:23England get the second half started with that one goal lead.
47:31He's just swung it in, clicked across, this is a problem!
47:37Italy are level, and it is Panucci!
47:43Italy's second half response has been admirable, and Gini has altered his personnel, he has altered the dynamic, and it
47:51is England now who have to find answers.
47:56Time for Vakaiya, Sapka!
47:59Come on, boy!
48:05One, two, three, four!
48:08Extra time.
48:13Hurry!
48:15General!
48:18Walker's going direct, Sapka!
48:23Just looks a little bit concerning about Sapka.
48:26Looking to see if there are any signs of an England change.
48:32Gareth, if we're sticking with the data, the strongest penalty takers.
48:36If you want them on, we have to do it now.
48:39Can't believe it's come down to this.
48:40Here.
48:43Here.
48:50Here.
48:53Here.
48:54Here.
48:55Here.
48:55For the last few minutes.
49:13time to steal yourselves at home
49:15England once again
49:16are involved
49:17in a penalty shootout
49:20it had to come to this
49:22didn't it
49:24after a month of
49:26hard work hard yards
49:29it is down to
49:30kicks from 12 yards
49:3211 meters
49:34Aaron Southgate has
49:36talked about penalties a lot
49:38he's had to
49:52well here we go folks
49:54cross your fingers
49:55hide behind the sofa
49:56do whatever you do
49:57at home
49:58Christ this can't be open
50:00is this really open
50:04first up for Italy
50:06is Domenico Ferrati
50:111 out of 1 for Italy
50:14now Harry Kane
50:15I don't know.
51:00I don't know.
51:17I don't know.
51:17Big moment for Harry Maguire.
51:20Another leader in the England camp.
51:22I don't know.
51:22I don't know.
51:40I don't know.
51:41I don't know.
51:41I don't know.
51:42I don't know.
51:47I don't know.
51:59I don't know.
52:00Markis Rashford up next for England.
52:04Only came into the game for the last two minutes of action.
52:09He's had to sit and watch, keep his legs fresh and ready for this.
52:32And Rashford is missed!
52:36He tried to place it, he got the angle wrong.
52:532-2 after 3.
52:56Now the pressure goes back on England's players.
53:11The Italians take the other hand, England behind.
53:18Up next, who was brought on at the very end as a kind of special teams player, it's going to
53:23be Jadon Sancho.
53:35He's really got to score this one.
53:44Save by Donnarumma!
53:51Italy, a one kick away from European glory.
54:01And it is Jorginho who has missed the 100% from the penalty spot.
54:09Jordan Pickford tells himself, no problem, he's up to this.
54:12Well he has to be.
54:13We are not to lose, he's going to win.
54:26We are not to lose, he's going to lose.
54:33We're not to be.
54:36We're not to lose!
54:37He's down to stop him! England is still alive!
54:42It is the same of his own!
54:55Now, he can do no more than the rest of us.
54:59Then turn and watch.
55:04Nineteen years old, Hukayu Saka.
55:07Step up and take huge responsibility on his young shoulders.
55:13Saka has to score!
55:57Saka has to score!
55:58No matter how much!
55:58No matter how much!
56:07I don't know.
56:38I don't know.
56:59I don't know.
57:35I don't know.
57:58I don't know.
