BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast were speaking to some England fans out in Germany earlier in the build-up to the game.

Matt Roberts and Tony Hunt (above) have cycled to Germany to raise money for Crohn’s and Colitis UK.

“I feel like we’ve been
quite negative throughout the tournament so far,” said Tony. “We’ve been playing with a
handbrake on. We’re incredibly cautious.

“We’ve certainly got the
squad to win it, we’re as good as anyone. You need luck on your side to win a
tournament, you need the stars to align. I feel like we’ll win it. We’ve
started slowly, but we’ll gather momentum as the tournament progresses.”

Matt added: “You don’t want to get
too negative, it’s still early days.”

But another fan, George Simon, was not as positive.

“You shouldn’t experiment in a major tournament,” he said. “If we want to give it a fizz, play Kobbie Mainoo. But if you want to be a bit more tactful, play Conor Gallagher.

“England haven’t had a
decent winger on the left for years. It’s like a Rubik’s Cube.”
