    Euro 2022 has been a huge success for England - both on and off the pitch.

    The Lionesses have captivated the nation with their swashbuckling run to Sunday's final against Germany at Wembley, while the tournament has attracted record crowds, carnival atmospheres and unprecedented media coverage for the sport.

    I haven't stopped smiling since I woke up this morning. What a day so far. I was out and about watching the crowds slowly trickle in at around 8am and now there is heaps of humanity all draped in England flags around Wembley.

    The atmosphere is very calm at the moment. I think once it gets to one hour before kick-off and the teams start warming up, then you will get that sense of anticipation, nervousness and what could be.

    That's when it will start to ramp up.
