You did the right thing asking for expert advice, Kate.

So, this is what we're working with:

First wearing of the shirt = loss

Second wearing of the shirt = comeback win

Third wearing of the shirt = Behind for 80 minutes

I'm seeing a pattern. Bad, good, bad, good...

I say wear the shirt. We're owed some more magic from it.

England's lives appear to be infinite.

They were 2-0 down against Sweden in the quarter-finals, written off following their defeat in the opening game by France, and heading out of Euro 2025 in the 95th minute against Italy.

But their substitutes have delivered throughout the tournament and it was Agyemang who inspired the comeback, and Kelly who completed it.

Kelly, the hero who scored the winner in extra time of the Euro 2022 final, has got a knack of producing key moments for England and it is no wonder she is trusted by Wiegman to come on and deliver when needed to.

Meanwhile, Agyemang has exploded on to the international scene having only made her senior debut in April but she already has three goals in four caps and is quickly becoming a fan favourite.

England's resilience will undoubtedly be talked about in the build-up to Sunday's final, along with their considerable squad depth, but they were fortunate yet again.

They will not want to do it the hard way again, knowing the world's elite are up next with either Germany or Spain providing the toughest of tests.

England manager Sarina Wiegman says she doesn't care whether it's Spain or Germany the Lionesses meet in the final, she is just happy to be there.

Wiegman watched as her side came from behind yet again in Euro 2025 to beat Italy in extra-time and book their place in a third consecutive final.

Should they meet Spain, it will be a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final in Sydney.

Luke, it'll be very interesting if Germany beat Spain and face England in the final. Are you still in the same German campsite on Sunday?

And Alison, what a lovely message, I'll pass that on to Vicki and Karen! I listened to the pair during the quarter-finals. Following a penalty shoot-out over radio adds a whole extra layer of tension!

England

England manager Sarina Wiegman: "This is a movie, my goodness. It's unbelievable, we didn't play a very good first half, the tempo was too low, they scored a good goal, and they defended very well. Second half, we played better, but we didn't score, so we have to change the shape and bring in players.

"We found a way again, so relieved and happy with the team, and we go again in the final.

"I don't know if we make the change at the right time. Yes, we wait, and it has impact, and of course, when you score, you need to get back into another shape, but that also meant the tempo had to go down. We waited because we thought we played well and we had our chances, but missing the final touch, and that's why we waited.

"Playing finals is so special, and it is not given to many people, and there are only two teams that can make a final, and the competition is so high and so intense that you know before going into the tournament that everyone wants to make the final, and so do we. But here we are again, and it is really special."

Ellen White
England Euro 2022 winner on BBC's Football Daily

Former England forward Ellen White on the BBC Football Daily podcast: "I don't think you can put [Wiegman's achievements] into words; it's just absolutely phenomenal. She's just got the winning mentality, and she's ruthless.

"She's an amazing manager, communicator, and coach. To have won in 2017, been in the final in 2019, won in 2022, final in 2023, and another final in 2025, it is astonishing what she has achieved for the Netherlands and now England.

"She is such an amazing human being, and I can't love her anymore for what she has done for this country and me as a person as well."

England’s dramatic win over Italy on Tuesday was a landmark occasion for Sarina Wiegman, who notched up her 100th win as an international manager, and also became the first to take charge of 16 matches at the women’s Euros.

Most impressively, she also became the first-ever manager (men’s or women’s) to reach five major international tournament finals in a row. Prior to taking the England job, she guided the Netherlands to success at Euro 2017, and then took them to the 2019 World Cup final, and has now led the Lionesses to three consecutive major finals

The last major women’s final not to feature Wiegman was a decade ago at the 2015 World Cup.

Thanks Matt and Stephanie.

Stephanie, you probably know this already, but it's imperative you wear that same shirt on Sunday.

In fact, play it safe and put the shirt on now and don't take it off until Monday morning.

From Joe, on behalf of the nation.

They say it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and the Lionesses have been the embodiment of that in Euro 2025. In both their quarter-final against Sweden and their semi-final against Italy, England have conceded first but have fought back to win.

And each time the opposition have barely had a chance to respond. Opta stats show that England have led for just four minutes and 52 seconds so far in the knockout stages, which is the least time of any team to reach the final since the introduction of the quarter-final round in 2009. The previous record was held by Denmark in 2017, who led for 11 minutes and 51 seconds.

England forward Michelle Agyemang admitted she was meant to be at the back post when she popped up on the edge of the box to score the equaliser on Tuesday evening.

The teenager rescued England for a second successive game in the semi final, scoring in the sixth minute of stoppage time to send the game to extra-time.

Works for me, Charlie.

Agyeman!

She'll score the winning goal tonight.

From ball girl to Super Sub.

Defenders get a mighty fright.

She's ours, she's ours, Agyeman!

• The Lionesses are the first team to reach the final of the women’s Euros despite conceding the opening goal in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

• Four of England’s five knockout games at the European Championship under Sarina Wiegman have gone to extra time.

• Wiegman last night became the first head coach to take charge of 16 matches at the Euros, breaking the record held by her England predecessor Hope Powell and Germany's Tina Theune.

• Chloe Kelly’s winner in the 119th minute was the latest scored by any team at the women’s Euros, while Michelle Agyemang’s equalizer was the latest netted by the Lionesses inside normal time at the tournament.

St. Jakob-Park in Basel will host Sunday's final. It has a capacity of about 38,000.

And one of the supporters watching from the stands this weekend will be The Prince of Wales, Patron of the FA.

Prince William was also there at the Euro 2022 final, too.
