    The border runs right down the middle of the village, we even have a golf course where you can tee off in Wales and putt out in England. It's a real split between our team in terms of the national loyalties. Even my husband and I will be supporting different sides.

    How cool is this - glowing red and white seats await fans in the Arizona pub here in Sunderland.

    Fans will not only be able to wear England's colours - they'll also be able to sit on them.

    Cheryl McDonald, the pub's manager, told me the seats are expected to be the top spot during the match.

    A former under-18s team-mate of England's Jamie Vardy has described the striker as a "late developer".  

    Sam Breese (second from top right) played with Vardy (top left) at Stocksbridge Park Steels, but said the now Premier League winner "didn't always get in the team".

    Mr Breese, originally from Sheffield but currently living in Portland, Oregon, said: "I think he should definitely start today, I'm a big believer in form and confidence and he's obviously got a lot of both at the moment!"
