What do you think about the tournament so far? Tell us your opinion here:
Jonathan Wilson
The danger posed by Ramin Yamal means there is good reason to keep Kieran Trippier even if Luke Shaw is fully fit, because when the winger cuts inside he is making contact with the defender’s dominant foot – an advantage of the wing-back playing in the opposite position.
But if, like me, you want to know how England can beat Luis de la Fuente’s Spain team, read Jonathan Wilson’s tactical analysis here.
Let’s be honest, Spain played their best football in the tournament this year, but it was England who produced the best moments when it mattered most. In the words of Jimmy Bullard, no matter what happens tonight, “football is always a winner.”

preamble
Today marks the day that football (hopefully) comes home. I am savoring every moment of the build-up to the match because I don’t know what I’ll do if England win.
If England (or Spain) win today, how are you going to celebrate? Cry? Take the day off work? Email me and let me know.
Meanwhile, we will bring you the latest updates from the England and Spain camps over the coming hours.
