England are in a fucking final
If it still hasn’t sunk in yet, don’t worry. I don’t think it has for any of us, which is perfectly understandable as very few of us have been in this situation before. Even for those who remember 1966, this will feel different. Since that World Cup victory on home soil, England have endured a painful journey of persistent disappointment.
But now, with this passionate and talented squad of fundamentally good people, we are potentially just 90 minutes away from the pinnacle.
You probably won’t need much help getting in the mood on Sunday, but to really get the most out of the experience, you’ll need the bangers blaring before – and hopefully after – the game.
To help with that, I have curated a playlist of songs for the big day. It is a combination of current anthems (Whole Again remix), traditional and timeless classics (Three Lions), universally popular football tunes (Freed From Desire) and a scattering of tunes that everyone just loves to sing along to (Don’t Look Back In Anger.)
Listen if you want to, and enjoy. Don’t message me to tell me I have bad taste in music.
And finally, come on England.
