Sighs of relief here as my match feed finally kicks in. Some lovely scenic shots of the Icelandic landscape - what a place. I've been once and keen to get back. At some point.

England

England manager Gareth Southgate on Sky Sports: "I have told them to go out and show people what they can do, they have waited long enough to play and are eager to play. We have a stubborn opponent in front of us and we have to be patient and counter the threats they have. I have told them to enjoy their football and show people what they have been missing.

"Phil Foden has done all the things we knew he can, we know how much quality he has and he has fitted straight in. The young players know how we work, how we play and we have not told him to do anything different.

"We need a solid base with experience in the team, we have a lot of young players. Kyle Walker, Kieran Tripper and Eric Dier have a lot of experience and it will be interesting to see how Eric develops in defence.

"The style Iceland play, they will always create the odd chance. They are strong on set plays we have to show our quality to break them down and choose the right options."

What we've seen of Phil Foden so far, he looks a player. He's great on the ball, he can beat a player and he can score a goal.

If the European Championship had gone ahead he probably wouldn't have been in the squad - now he is and hopefully he can grab his opportunity.

He certainly has the talent to play for England.

Just half an hour or so now until kick-off and we see for sure how this England XI line up.

John J: Re: Foden being in the England team for years to come, I really hope he is, but let's not forget every pundit said all these things about Jack Wilshere.

Paul Anderton: I was on holiday (ah, memories) in Hong Kong for the England v Iceland game. Woke up at 3am to watch, wish I'd slept through.

He resigned 19 minutes after full-time so you did well to get that on air!

Strong work.

Pun Guy: England can't afjord any slip ups tonight. I'm not even sorry.

Trent Alexander-Arnold must not be fully fit - right? I'm sure we'll hear from Gareth Southgate before kick-off and we'll try and clear that up.

One of the first names on the sheet. Should be anyway.

Paul Day: How on Earth is Trent not starting this match? Has Southgate not watched any premier league matches this year?

Rob Baker: Is this the most double-barrelled England senior side ever, with 3?

Phil Foden's elevation to England's full squad has been an inevitability since he started making his way through the junior ranks, particularly when he was named player of the tournament when they won the Under-17 World Cup three years ago.

The 20-year-old showed glimpses of his brilliance for Manchester City last season as he prepared to fill the vacancy left by David Silva. Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will be an England regular for years to come.

Any bad memories of that Iceland game to share? Any nice memories of the wonderful Iceland as a place to share?

Remember holidays?

Anyway - get in touch via text or tweet.

England striker Harry Kane has been directly involved in 16 goals in his last six matches for the Three Lions (10 goals, six assists). He has found the net in all six games and would be the third player to score in seven consecutive games for England after George Camsell (9, 1929-36) and Steve Bloomer (10, 1895-99).

The Nations League is separated into four divisions. The top three divisions have four groups with four teams. Each side plays the other teams in their group home and away - just like a Champions League group.

The bottom division has one group of four and one of three.

The team to win each group in League A - England won theirs last time - will go into the finals tournament in September or October 2021 (it was initially meant to be in June).

Teams that top their their group in Leagues B, C or D will be promoted. Sides finishing bottom of their group in Leagues A and B are relegated, with a play-off to decide who goes down from League C.

The best two Nations League group winners who do not reach the World Cup or play-offs through normal qualifying - which starts in March 2021 - will go into the 12-team World Cup European play-offs in March 2022 (with three qualifying for the tournament in Qatar).

Read all about it here.

It's a first start for JWP today - and confirmation that this is the first time that Eric Dier has played in defence for the Three Lions.
