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!
02:48Go!
02:49Go!
02:51It is the third World Cup semi-final for England since 1990!
02:58Ninety minutes for these young England players to write their name in history.
03:03It's coming up!
03:03It's coming up.
03:05It's coming up.
03:06Um, Gareth Southgate and the boys have done a fantastic job.
03:12Coming home, it's coming home.
03:14Coming home!
03:14Coming home, no!
03:15Coming home!
03:16Have you not heard?
03:17It's coming home.
03:19Thank you!
03:21E-MOTE!
03:34The coast of 66 lives on for England.
03:56No one expected Southgate to reignite the fans' passion for the national team like this.
04:01Well, I mean, just two years after the horror of losing to Iceland,
04:04they've done so much to restore England's reputation and reconnect the public to their football teams.
04:09But now the dust is set, right?
04:11So 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,
04:32and the first World Cup final since 1966 in his sight.
04:35The country's expectation, right, to reach fever pitch after England took the league.
04:40But that Luka Modric, I mean, he took control of the game,
04:43and Southgate's been fading.
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.
04:52And, you know, couldn't find a white shirt to save his life.
04:57Harry Kane, he lost the ball a total of 21 times.
05:01As history has often proven, England are, psychologically, for some reason,
05:07very vulnerable to going up and then bedding down for the age-old long period of agony.
05:14The whole team, exhausted, reverted to playing it safe under pressure,
05:17less free, less fearless.
05:19OK, all right.
05:20Well, a lot to unpack and learn from.
05:22Thanks.
05:23Anyone 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.
05:41But learning how to sustain your psychological resilience over a whole tournament, that takes time.
05:46Yeah, and who knows?
05:47It takes more work on this, not less.
05:49Yes.
05:49Drilling the lads in midfield on how to cope with Modric and co, then mainly...
05:54All right.
05:54OK.
05:56And what would they be in your picture in the press now, Pippa?
06:00The penalty whisperer or whatever you...
06:02Hey.
06:03That's not me, OK?
06:05I did not put that out there.
06:07No, 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 proper 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 quarter-finals, act two, semis, act three, victory, but we did
06:52one better.
06:53And more than that, the feeling in the country.
06:57We should be proud and confident now, going forward.
07:01Something is working.
07:02And we're ahead.
07:14Look, sorry, got testy back there.
07:17We all just...
07:20We care.
07:21I care, Mike.
07:22Us lot.
07:23The 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 honor of my life to hold.
07:56To serve the country I know.
08:01Good afternoon.
08:03The time has come to give strong leadership and to change this country for the better.
08:09The 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.
08:40In the UK, 798 people have now been infected.
08:43There have been 11 Covid-related deaths.
08:45Government 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 820.
08:53Well above the capacity of NHS and British can.
08:56And the government says,
08:57More deaths will be.
08:59To over one thousand.
09:00The restrictions yet are.
09:01World sport has come to a standstill.
09:04I hope in the years to come,
09:06everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge.
09:12And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.
09:18that the attributes of self-discipline,
09:21of quiet, good-humored resolve,
09:23and a fellow feeling still characterize 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,
09:43better 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
09:59In England's green and pleasant land
10:20Feels almost, I don't know, like a church.
10:24That sort of hush.
10:27Still, Pelé 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.
10:48Postponed 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.
11:04Hosting adds expectation, doesn't it?
11:10It demands something.
11:16And so I just wanted to say that.
11:20You just wanted to say that 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.
11:53The is 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.
12:06I know, I know, but events and all that.
12:11Events.
12:12Dareth.
12:29And I know, but it's a lot.
12:29Okay.
12:42I know.
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.
14:33Look, Gareth, you're a loyal bloke.
14:36But this is a tournament at Wembley.
14:40We're gonna have to make some tough decisions.
14:43The under-21s, the talent that's there, ready, waiting.
14:47We need to make room for it.
14:50Remember something you said?
14:52When 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.
15:12New England.
15:13This is our time.
15:16Nice is nice.
15:19But winning is winning.
15:35Oh, Yerick.
15:37It's Gareth.
15:41Yeah, it's just...
15:43It's just this tournament, you know?
15:46It feels like the tournament that I...
15:48I'm sorry, Yerick.
15:50What 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, Yerick.
16:05I'll see you soon.
16:29I'll see you soon.
16:29I'll see you soon.
16:47No, I'm good, yeah, you know, I get it, I've not been informed, and, you know, I don't
16:55need my hand holding or my arse wiping, I'm not a child, so.
17:00It's not about being a child, it's about normal feelings of disappointment, so if you want
17:07to talk.
17:08What's talking going to change?
17:10It won't change it, so.
17:14Okay, well I think you might have my number, do you have my number?
17:20Yeah, yeah, I think so, thanks.
17:48You're gonna do some therapy on me?
17:49No, but I'm here if you want to share what you're thinking, if you want to chat.
17:54What I'm thinking?
17:56Right, I think I'm thinking about, you know, the vibes now are all about trust and be vulnerable,
18:03and 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.
18:13the good and the bad, and there's always going to be bad in sport at this level.
18:17Do you think I don't fucking know that, Pippa?
18:30Sorry.
18:32I, um, I don't know who that is.
18:38That name, I 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, mate.
18:59I just don't know.
19:01I feel that.
19:06They're following me around on my back.
19:11I had a lot of very different from you, but my family growing up wasn't stable, and I
19:20learned how to close those feelings down, keep small.
19:26I feel so lucky that I realized later how wrong that was.
19:31That everything we're worried and frightened about just becomes bigger in 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, er, Euro 96.
20:15What a sum of that was.
20:16The Sun, Sean, and the country came together.
20:19Yeah, yeah, I mean, after all that we've been through in the last year and a bit,
20:22I just want to feel connected again, and I want to feel part of something.
20:26Yeah.
20:26I want it to feel like the summer of 96, except this time we go on and whenever.
20:30But for a long while, we've not been feeling too good about ourselves in this country.
20:34Look, I think England need TV, and football can do just that.
20:38Have a nice day and a day.
20:47There you go.
20:49Come here.
20:50Mike?
20:52We're good.
20:52You're good.
20:53I'll be good.
20:55What's up.
20:58No.
21:00No.
21:01No.
21:02No.
21:04No.
21:06No.
21:07All right.
21:07No.
21:07No.
21:20Oh, my gosh, boss.
21:22Sorry, I'm... 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...
21:33Maybe like my desert island things, you know?
21:36That's great, Bakaio.
21:37I love that. What's your favourite, you know, beer?
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'm in the Bible.
21:47Oh, uh, I don't know.
21:50It's all good.
21:51It reminds me that God is there, guiding me.
21:54That he has a plan.
21:57Well, he's not the only one, Bakaio.
22:00Thanks, boss.
22:01Thanks, boss.
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.
22:50And uncomplicate it.
22:52I 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. Amazing.
23:05I 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.
23:23So I'm asking what home means to you.
23:27Phil. Hello, Phil.
23:29Where's home for you?
23:30Stoppard.
23:30Jack?
23:32Uh, home when? Home now.
23:34Your origins.
23:36Oh, sorry, all.
23:37And Jaden?
23:38Uh, South London.
23:40Pennington.
23:40And you're proud of those places, right?
23:43Right.
23:44Yeah.
23:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:44Of 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.
24:09Hey!
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, and I fell in love with this game, kicking a ball against
24:24my back wall in a small semi and crawling.
24:27Small semi.
24:28And that's who I am.
24:31And that's who I am.
24:33And that's who I am.
24:42And that's who I am.
24:58Our story is how...
25:05Is how we're going to win this tournament.
25:10What?
25:12You think we can win this one?
25:16I think we can.
25:17Yeah.
25:17Come on.
25:17I think we will.
25:19Yes!
25:21Yeah!
25:24Yeah!
25:27Come on!
25:28Come on!
25:35Come on!
25:46Harry Kane is one of the best writers in world football
25:49and our biggest asset of them all is our manager
25:51Southgate is reshaking football off the field as well as on it
25:55encouraging the players to step beyond their role as footballers
25:58to see that as something that helps their game
26:01Here I am, you know what this pace means to me
26:04the pace I grew up literally in the shadow of the Wembley Arch
26:07and 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
26:18and if home advantage kicks in
26:19there's no reason why we can't go all the way
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
27:07or 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
27:26but honestly that's fine because
27:29Gareth
27:32Hey
27:33I say this with love and an awareness
27:36that you're
27:38sort of trapped here, aren't you?
27:40Trapped?
27:41You think I'm trapped?
27:41But this
27:42me here
27:43was 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
27:58Gareth, our work has always been about getting their best performance
28:01Yes and we've made huge strides
28:02but now
28:03now they need to learn to win
28:04Gareth, you have everything you need to be able to win
28:08Well, okay
28:09but now that we're hosting
28:10we have to
28:11have to prove
28:12inescapably
28:13that this way works
28:15Really?
28:18Not even a bit of this is about
28:20wanting 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
28:36but like I haven't
28:37been 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
28:43not what you did?
28:52I didn't decide
28:53I can't help it
28:54that that walk away from here
28:57has brought me right back here
28:59a tournament here
29:01with those ghosts
29:05All I can do
29:06try and do
29:09is this
29:13seize this moment
29:15now

33:06you
33:11know
33:19you
33:23can
33:23get
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, look, it's not like it's the first time we heard that stuff, right?
33:42Like monkey chants and shit. It's like, oh, wow, like, so fucking original.
33:47What do you want to do? Should we, all of us, collectively say something, maybe?
33:51What?
33:52What, just like that?
33:53You think it's that easy?
33:54No, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound easy.
33:57And I have been saying. And say what, anyway?
34:01What, like, that racist abuse is bad? That it's upsetting?
34:05Like, that needs saying?
34:07Then we should say something.
34:11Right? Can't always just be you guys.
34:13No, 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?
34:21This is a part of it.
34:23People that think that son of us shouldn't be wearing the shirt.
34:26Right, right.
34:27Because today we'll just be like, oh, well, we were playing abroad.
34:29Abroad that happens.
34:30But I'm like, no, no.
34:31It happens at home too.
34:33Our home, Gareth.
34:35Our England.
34:36He's right.
34:37This is a part of it.
34:39So, you're going to include that?
34:42Talk about that?
34:43Yeah.
34:46We talk about that.
34:56So, England's European Championship campaign is precisely a week away.
35:02Here is the last stress rehearsal for Gareth Southgate's squad.
35:07And England take a knee in the ongoing campaign to eradicate racism from football.
35:15Would 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?
35:20My answer.
35:21Boris Johnson refuses to condemn fans booing England.
35:24That's absolutely fair.
35:25Nobody defends booing of the England side.
35:28Southgate insists his squad will show solidarity with those fighting for change.
35:34So, it's taken the knee thing.
35:36Maybe it's got a broader history that seems to be taken from the game of France.
35:40English fans booing our boys was a disgrace.
35:44It'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 symbol.
35:53I 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 be talking
36:07about.
36:08When he said we are about more than football, no Mr Southgate.
36:11The idea that it's right for the football team to get involved with political gestures is a mistake.
36:20I thought there'd be more a sense of togetherness, maybe, going into this after what we all went through.
36:27I don't know, feels so unedged, doesn't it?
36:31Maybe someone needs to say that.
36:36Like you said, sort of name it.
36:38The mood.
36:39Where 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.
36:58A letter, then.
37:00Like wartime.
37:02A letter to home.
37:14Looking sharp, fellas.
37:15Nice one.
37:16That was good.
37:16It's here you go.
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...
37:38It'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.
37:48Well, one man, Gareth, the mood of the 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?
38:03That's all.
38:04I mean, don't we all need that, too, right now?
38:06It will be a celebration, Greg, I promise.
38:10An honest one.
38:23Hey, see you in the bar.
38:24Yeah.
38:27Hi.
38:29Good morning, everybody.
38:30Hey, nice to meet you.
38:32Yeah.
38:32You're fine.
38:33You can't see the camera.
38:35We can't see you.
38:37Yeah, just want to see you in the high line.
38:39You can't see the camera.
38:40It's great.
38:52I think this is the most divided England has ever felt.
38:56Be proud to be British.
38:57Yeah, don't we know.
38:57All about immigration.
38:58Criminals.
38:59Traitor.
38:59Terrorism.
39:00No, no, it's not, like, politically correct.
39:01No, we can't help each other anymore.
39:03Level up.
39:03No, Max, these farmers have brought rights, Henry.
39:05We know the country that we have now today.
39:07Get a job.
39:08There are no jobs.
39:08There's a certain amount of self-pitching.
39:10That girl is such a thing to listen to the working class.
39:13Oh, gosh.
39:14More joy.
39:14How was it?
39:15Don't you like it?
39:16We're all down there.
39:16It really is.
39:18It's all right.
39:19It's all right.
39:19It's all right.
39:20It's all right.
39:20It's all right.
39:20Oh, no.
39:22Oh, no.
39:22Oh, no.
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
39:40as 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,
39:53perhaps 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,
40:09what we are all a part of,
40:12is an experience that lasts
40:15in the collective consciousness of our country.
40:18Every game has the potential
40:22to create a lifelong memory
40:24for an England fan somewhere.
40:31Why do we care so much?
40:35What I know is,
40:36what is often forgotten is,
40:39how much it means to the players.
40:42Players are fans too.
40:45The idea that they don't care
40:47has become a false narrative.
40:49And we must give them confidence
40:52to stand up for their teammates.
40:55I've never believed
40:56that we should just stick to football.
41:00Of course, I know my players
41:01and I will be judged on winning matches.
41:04Believe me.
41:05But the reality is
41:07that the result is just a small part.
41:11It's about how we conduct ourselves
41:14and how we bring people together
41:18that lasts beyond the summer.
41:24That lasts forever.
41:42The journey starts here.
41:45The first chapter
41:47in what England hope
41:48will be an epic tale.
41:50Starts with a rematch
41:51of the World Cup semi-final.
41:54The next first goal
41:56of the European Championship
41:58and Raheem Sterling is the man.
42:00It's a good start for Townscape.
42:02Can he keep this up
42:03throughout the tournament?
42:09Looking to tease the Czech defence.
42:11Does that!
42:12And he's heading in.
42:12I think he's out.
42:15But England have won
42:16and they top the group.
42:18They will play
42:19in the round of 16.
42:20The game 2
42:21will have to wait to see.
42:23After all the talk
42:25about the ghosts of history
42:27it's down to these players
42:29to take their own places
42:30in the saga
42:32of this great
42:33international mixture.
42:35Starting is going!
42:36Where's your spark?
42:38Wembley, Knights.
42:39Boy from Wembley.
42:40Yeah.
42:41Boy from Wembley.
42:42Greal is in!
42:43In comes the captain!
42:46Now a Southgate
42:47could add beating Germany
42:48into his incredible list
42:50of achievements.
42:50What is lovely
42:52is we've given people
42:53another day
42:54to remember.
43:01Mez McQuire!
43:06I got a great connection on it.
43:08It was always going to end up
43:09at the back of the net
43:10with that connection.
43:11A lot of people
43:11have fallen out of love
43:12with football.
43:13These guys and the manager
43:14have made people think again
43:15and how special football is
43:17and can't beat them.
43:18OK.
43:20Penalties.
43:22What, you think that's it?
43:24We've cracked them
43:24and we won't have
43:25to face them again.
43:26Come on.
43:54The stage is set.
43:57Harry Cade steps up.
44:13Yes!
44:14Yes!
44:15Yes!
44:18The long, long wait
44:21is over.
44:22A Wembley roar
44:23to hail England's
44:26history makers.
44:27into the finals
44:28for the first time
44:30in 55 years.
44:33Unbelievable.
44:34Final at home.
44:35What a feeling.
44:37Obviously, it's going to be
44:37a tough game against Italy
44:39but, yeah,
44:40we can't wait.
44:41Yeah!
44:46Touching hands
44:49reach it out
44:53Touching hands
44:54Down.
44:56Touching hands
44:59to be a good one.
45:20I just had to tell Saka the other day, it's not always like this, don't get used to it.
45:25And now to finish the job?
45:27Yeah, that's it.
45:28The finals are there to be won.
45:35It was a long time coming, but the best part is, it's arrived.
45:43It's excitement and emotion around Wembley that hasn't been felt since, you know, Wembley.
45:51Are England's young lions ready for the game of their lives?
45:59It's hard not to feel the stars aligning.
46:03That England should fight themselves back here at home with all its ghosts of the past and hopes for the
46:11future.
46:22It's hard not to feel the stars aligning.
46:47Now the game that so many have waited a lifetime to see, is underway.
46:56Walker's charging past Trippier, it's Trippier who'll cross, and it's Lucho!
47:04It's the start of dreams!
47:08The excitement around Wembley now, has reached levels never hit before.
47:23England, the second half started with that one goal lead.
47:31Italy has swung it in, clicked across, this is a problem!
47:37Italy at level, and it is Bonucci!
47:43Italy's second half response has been admirable,
47:46and Genie has altered his personnel, he has altered the dynamic,
47:50and it is England now who have to find answers.
47:56Time for Makai Usapka!
48:00Come on boys!
48:06One, two, three, four!
48:07A lot of extra time!
48:13Harry!
48:15General!
48:19Walker's going direct.
48:20Saka!
48:22Just looks a little bit concerned now about Southgate.
48:26Looking as if there are any signs of an England change.
48:33Gareth, if we're sticking with the data, the strongest penalty takers, if you want them
48:37on, we have to do it now.
48:39I can't believe it's come down to this.
48:42Here.
48:44Yeah.
48:50That's Jadon Farris.
48:51It is going to be Sancho and Rashford on for England for the last few minutes.
49:13Time to steal yourselves at home.
49:15England once again are involved in a penalty shootout.
49:20It had to come to this, didn't it?
49:24After a month of hard work, hard yards, it is down to kicks from 12 yards, 11 meters.
49:34Aaron Southgate has talked about penalties a lot, he's had to.
49:52Well, here we go, folks.
49:54Cross your fingers, hide behind the sofa, do whatever you do, at home.
49:58Oh, Christ, this can't be opening.
50:01Is this really opening?
50:04First up for Italy is Domenico Berardi.
50:11One hour one for Italy.
50:14One hour one for Italy.
50:26One hour one for Italy.
50:29No hurricane.
50:53Sets the standard for our Mr. Formos.
51:07A big moment for Harry Maguire, another leader in the England camp.
51:38Scores.
51:40To the nation.
51:45Advantage England.
51:48Panucci next.
51:59Marcus Rashford up next for England.
52:03Only 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.
52:36He tried to place it.
52:38He got the angle wrong.
52:532-2 after three.
52:56Now the pressure goes back on England's players.
53:11The Italians take the other hand.
53:14England behind.
53:18Up next, who was brought on at the very end as a kind of special teams player.
53:22It's going to be Jadon Sancho.
53:35He's really got to score this one.
54:01And it is Jorginho who is Mr. 100%.
54:06He's left from the penalty score.
54:09Florida Pickford tells himself, no problem.
54:11He's up to this.
54:12Well, he has to be.
54:24jamming.
54:28Yeah.
54:36That's the 500�inal jump for the game.
54:38What?
54:42How can I even count?
54:55Now, he can do no more than the rest of us, but turn and watch, 19 years old, Bukayo Saka
55:07step up and take huge responsibility on his young shoulders.
55:12Saka has to score!
55:52Saka has to score!
56:06Saka has to score!
56:08Saka has to score!
56:10Saka has to score!
56:11Saka has to score!
56:35Saka has to score!
56:37Saka has to score!
