It’s a fourth major final in as many years for English fans. Will the men follow the women to Euros glory or will it be a repeat of last year’s Women’s World Cup final?
Gareth Southgate was not long ago credited with making England fans fall back in love with their national team.Now into its 58th successive year of hurt, English men’s football team has a well-documented capacity to be the focal point of ruinous national self-mythologisation.Known as the Three Lions, the side’s fortunes have long been indelibly linked to the national psyche. It’s been a saga worthy of Shakespeare, studded with heroes, villains and ancient grievances.
For many, particularly those in Australia where age-old sporting rivalry supersedes any sort of feel-good story, it has provided an endless amount of comic relief. To the millions of English who’ve lived it, it has been torturous.At an international level under Southgate, England has reached a semi-final , final , quarter-final and now another final – the 2024 European Championship in Germany against Spain to be played Monday morning AEST. It is unprecedented in the team’s 150-year history.
