    Thanks Tom!

    Just under six hours to go, how we all feeling then? Excited? Nervous?

    I've spent the last few hours going down a Youtube rabbit hole watching some brilliant and some odd England songs from back in the day. Never realised how much was out there!

    Keep your favourites coming in.

    All of you scrapping over Three Lions v World in Motion are missing the real winner of all football songs. Who can forget the classic 'On Me Head Son' featuring Atomic Kitten and Mike Bassett's all sorts army. #iconic. And we got to the semis.

    Disgrace that the two are even being compared! Three lions is THE song of English football, summarises the feeling of being a fan so well. All generations of fans love it, shows how well it's held up.

    Jacob

    We also need to mention some of the worst England songs. Neil and Christine Hamilton's 'England Are Jolly Dee' has to be a contender.

  10. How well do you remember England quarter-finals?published at 13:28 British Summer Time 3 July 2021

    England's game against Ukraine will be their 13th quarter-final in major competitions.

    They have been beaten in eight of the previous 12 (and don't we know it) - but how much do you know about those games?

    Test your knowledge with our quiz here!

    Three Lions. For something that seems so throwaway (no pun) on the face of it, it conjures up so many brilliant memories of summers gone - kicking every ball whilst watching at home or in a Mediterranean bar, battered cardboard cassette cases and my late dad. Gets me every time.

    Ukraine v England (20:00 BST)

    England manager Gareth Southgate and defender John Stones say the team are "not fazed" by the prospect of playing their Euro 2020 quarter-final with Ukraine away from Wembley Stadium.

    Tonight's game at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome is their first game in the tournament they have played away from the national stadium.

    Criminal that Ant and Dec's "on the ball" isn't getting a mention.

    Dan

    3 lions and World In Motion are good but it's no We're On The Ball by Ant and Dec. "Sven's the man, he's got a plan, we've found a super Swede" - timeless lyrics.

    Chris in Manchester

    "Golden balls is captain....and Heskey makes it five!"

    A work of genius.

  17. The England fans who will be at the Ukraine matchpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 3 July 2021

    While most England fans are unable to be at tonight's quarter-final, others are thanking their lucky stars that they're in the right place at the right time.

    England supporters have been warned not to travel to Italy due to Covid travel restrictions. And the Football Association has returned its allocation of tickets.

    However, whether it's down to careful planning, local knowledge or pure good fortune, a select few are excitedly preparing for England's clash with Ukraine.

    Read all about it here.

    I like them both, but the bit in World in Motion where it goes 'We want Goals' still gives me shivers 31 years later. And we actually danced properly to it in 1990 - can't say that about many football songs. Clear winner.
