Not sure I'll be finished early enough to get over before the game starts.

First the lyrics of songs and now pubs are being renamed after England boss Gareth Southgate.

Whatever next?

Georgia Hines, from Stockport's Chestergate Pub, said visitor numbers had "spiked" when they renamed it after manager Gareth Southgate on Friday.

"People are coming from other parts of Manchester to have a look," she said.

Residents of the town, where England star Phil Foden was born, have also renamed roads after the player and his fellow midfielder Mason Mount.

Ahem.....BBC Radio 6 presenter Chris Hawkins is getting in the mood.

Totally ignoring our last post. Wonder what his wife will think.

Suspect this could be a long day, with many a winding turn.

Natalie's advice is probably quite valid.

Two semi-finals at Wembley and in Moscow. Three quarter-finals in Shizuoka, Lisbon and Gelsenkirchen. Two last 16 exits in South Africa and France. One humiliation at the group stage in Brazil.

Not exactly a stellar record in 25 years' reporting on England but maybe today is the day all that changes.

And not very often you get an instant sense of excitement when an e-mail lands confirming your Media attendance at a game - England playing in their first major final for 55 years, and at Wembley, sort of does the job, though.

Sorry Italy, but England literally have Mankind routing for them.

May as well just hand the trophy over now.

Just waiting for The Undertaker to pop up in an Italy shirt...

It's just a bit of fun Daniel. That steward in Rome (see 10:49) was a tad more receptive.

Daniel, an Italy fan living in Walsall, says he think it makes English fans look arrogant "from the outside".

Listen to his interview on BBC Sounds.

Absolute slam dunk with Remember the Titans.

First thing this morning we asked what film you would show the England squad to inspire them for final?

Justin's gone to town with his reply.

Quite the image on the front cover of this morning's La Gazzetta dello Sport, where we find an Italian shirt draped over a throne and what looks to be a snickering Roberto Mancini.

Then we have Jorginho and Federico Chiesa celebrating either side of the trophy, but who will be celebrating at Wembley around 22:00 BST tonight (or later if we have extra-time, of course)?

It's a huge day for Italian sport, as Matteo Berrettini contests the men's singles final at Wimbledon this afternoon before tonight's Euro 2020 final.

The front of Corriere dello Sport reads "Such a great love", with many Italian's viewing plans for the day laid out: "First Berrettini at Wimbledon, then to the European final."

It's a similar theme in Tuttosport today, whose headline reads: "For you, for us".

The Andrew Marr Show

Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham told The Andrew Marr Show that England's "band of brothers" are calm ahead of the final, crediting Gareth Southgate for building a "really strong environment".

"The mood in the camp is very calm. They are aware of what a fantastic opportunity this is, they are aware of the excitement throughout the country, but the mood in the camp is calm and they are looking forward to it.

"I think one of the things that Gareth has managed to do, along with the support team, is build a really strong environment, there's a fantastic 'band of brothers' feeling and togetherness, but there is also a really strong resilience there and they are really supportive of each other.

"He (Southgate) is genuinely calm, he's one of the calmest people in the country. He is so well prepared and he has a good support team around him. He is in a good place."

Great effort Martin. Might need one of those later myself.

Former FA chairman Greg Dyke told me this week than many people thought he was "nuts" for saying eight years ago that England should target victory in the 2022 World Cup.

But having spoken to former FA Head of Talent Management Mike Rigg on Friday, he said that target was crucial in focussing minds.

Rigg, now technical director at Burnley, gave a great insight into the roles played by Gareth Southgate and former FA technical director Dan Ashworth in making England a more elite operation.

He also said Dyke's target led to the installation of clocks on the walls counting down to Qatar 2002.

"That nine years quickly became a matter of hours and the best thing that the 2022 target did was forcing change," Rigg told BBC Sport.

You can read more of his and Dyke's insight here.

Former England defender Jamie Carragher says Gareth Southgate should stick with the team who saw off Denmark in the semi-finals.

"I think it is (time to stick)," he told Sky Sports News. "I'd have actually stuck with the team that played against Ukraine.

"I was surprised when [Bukayo] Saka came in. Even though he did really well when he came in, I thought [Jadon] Sancho did really well against Ukraine.

"There was a lot of interchanging between the front three and I was actually surprised Gareth changed again.

"I can't say I'll be hugely surprised if he changes again because he's done it so often and it keeps the opposition guessing, but I think Saka's done really well in the last game and you need that pace and that energy around Harry Kane to make runs in behind the Italian defence.

"I think that's why he'll get the nod over a Phil Foden or a Jack Grealish. Sancho can offer that pace in behind as well, but I think that's what the England manager's thinking that he needs - two players to penetrate in behind Harry Kane."

BBC Radio 5 Live

A few familiar faces give BBC Radio 5 Live their messages for Gareth Southgate and the England team ahead of tonight's game.

Hear from Michael Vaughan, Omid Djalili, Sam Thompson and more.

Sit back relax and grab a brew. Well I will try and nip over to the kettle, while you watch this.

Now just to get you further in the mood...
