pepping up simple. but i thought him, phil popping up in spaces, jude, our movement was really good and that caused a lot of problems, caused him to adapt to how they were without the ball. yeah, we had the goal that was disallowed by a fraction, the chance that he cleared off the line so i was really pleased with their football tonight. you so i was really pleased with their football tonight.— so i was really pleased with their football tonight. you chose to pick off harry kane. — football tonight. you chose to pick off harry kane, your— football tonight. you chose to pick off harry kane, your penalty - off harry kane, your penalty shooter, _ off harry kane, your penalty shooter, this _ off harry kane, your penalty shooter, this feels - off harry kane, your penalty shooter, this feels like - off harry kane, your penalty| shooter, this feels like quite off harry kane, your penalty. shooter, this feels like quite a gamble — shooter, this feels like quite a gamble but— shooter, this feels like quite a gamble but how— shooter, this feels like quite a gamble but how does - shooter, this feels like quite a gamble but how does it- shooter, this feels like quite a gamble but how does it feel. shooter, this feels like quite a l gamble but how does it feel like shooter, this feels like quite a - gamble but how does it feel like it paid off? — gamble but how does it feel like it aid off? . ~ gamble but how does it feel like it aid off? a ., ., ~' gamble but how does it feel like it aid off? a ., ., ~ ., paid off? herrick took quite a big knock when _ paid off? herrick took quite a big knock when he _ paid off? herrick took quite a big knock when he won _ paid off? herrick took quite a big knock when he won the - paid off? herrick took quite a big knock when he won the penalty l paid off? herrick took quite a big. knock when he won the penalty so paid off? herrick took quite a big - knock when he won the penalty so -- knock when he won the penalty so —— harry took, we were losing a little energy under pressure and certainly

we weren't taking phil off because of his performance but we have got good players on the bench, that freshness we felt could help us and you know, we wanted to make that gamble in normal time rather than wait until extra time having been to extra time twice, we didn't really want to go through that again physically as a team, so yeah, for all lead to produce that moment when he did, saved us another half an hour at least, he did, saved us another half an hourat least, but he did, saved us another half an hour at least, but very very special to him, i'm delighted for him. curious, congratulations, i'm from espn _ curious, congratulations, i'm from espn can— curious, congratulations, i'm from espn can you _ curious, congratulations, i'm from espn. can you talk _ curious, congratulations, i'm from espn. can you talk about - curious, congratulations, i'm from espn. can you talk about the - curious, congratulations, i'm from . espn. can you talk about the change in the _ espn. can you talk about the change in the netherlands _ espn. can you talk about the change in the netherlands and _ espn. can you talk about the change in the netherlands and the _ espn. can you talk about the change in the netherlands and the second i in the netherlands and the second half, in the netherlands and the second half. the _ in the netherlands and the second half, the technical— in the netherlands and the second half, the technical problem - in the netherlands and the second half, the technical problem that i half, the technical problem that post for— half, the technical problem that post for you _ half, the technical problem that post for you and _ half, the technical problem that post for you and your— half, the technical problem that post for you and your thought . post for you and your thought process — post for you and your thought process was _ post for you and your thought process was in _ post for you and your thought process was in solving - post for you and your thought process was in solving it? - post for you and your thought process was in solving it? from the start of the — process was in solving it? from the start of the game, _ process was in solving it? from the start of the game, they _ process was in solving it? from the start of the game, they were -

start of the game, they were dropping lower, simmons on the other side to normal, so building a little bit more with before, so we didn't need the five of back, we pushed the kia into midfield —— baccia. in the second half played with a four, two, two, two, meant they had the numbers and midfield to make it more difficult for us, karen had a little bit of a problem, hopefully he could be ok but with him giving us the to finish the game we felt would be important. they don't adopt again, they had more numbers through so it was a box three really in the second

half which, again, he did a good job covering inside so we weren't able to be quite as incisive as we did in the first half, and we made the run. maybe in the end that's the bit that's fatigued to them that's been critical in the goal that we scored, so yeah, there was a lot going on in the game and we had to keep making decisions and getting messages on but in the end it's the players that make decisions on the pitch and they didn't —— did it brilliantly. more? didn't -- did it brilliantly. now have mainly — didn't -- did it brilliantly. now have mainly played _ didn't —— did it brilliantly. now have mainly played against defensively strong teams, now will they face _ defensively strong teams, now will they face spain in the final, the stronger— they face spain in the final, the stronger steam in this tournament, would _ stronger steam in this tournament, would you — stronger steam in this tournament, would you say that procession and offensive — would you say that procession and offensive teams suit england better in terms _ offensive teams suit england better in terms of playing style? will offensive teams suit england better in terms of playing style?— in terms of playing style? will have to net the in terms of playing style? will have to get the ball _ in terms of playing style? will have to get the ball off _ in terms of playing style? will have to get the ball off them _ in terms of playing style? will have

to get the ball off them first. - in terms of playing style? will have to get the ball off them first. so, . to get the ball off them first. so, it's not as simple as us having the ball and making them run. they press very very well so we're going to have to be exceptional with the ball. and you're going to have to be exceptional without it. but it's the final, you expected to be that way and they've been the best team, we are starting to show a better version of ourselves, the extra day is a concern, you know, in the last few tournaments that's been a problem for finalists, so we've got to, you know, do the very best we can to recover the place as well as we can but we're not going to be on the training ground, it's simple, will be walking through things or delivering things in meetings which was the same for this game. but we are in there and with what we've shown to this point, we have as good a chance as they do.

congratulations. you've touched on the personal criticism, the build up obviously— the personal criticism, the build up obviously the difficulties you had earlier— obviously the difficulties you had earlier on. — obviously the difficulties you had earlier on, every knockout game there _ earlier on, every knockout game there was— earlier on, every knockout game there was talk is to whether it was your last _ there was talk is to whether it was your last game, without in mind, where _ your last game, without in mind, where does — your last game, without in mind, where does this ranking in terms of achievements in england and how proud _ achievements in england and how proud are — achievements in england and how proud are you of everything? asl proud are you of everything? as i said earlier. _ proud are you of everything? as i said earlier, i _ proud are you of everything? as i said earlier, i took _ proud are you of everything? is i said earlier, i took the job to try and improve english football and we are now in his second final, the last one was the first in 50 years, we are now in the first that isn't played on our shores. i think we've got a team that will be together for quite a while so it's not as though this team is at the end of the cycle, we're giving people some amazing nights, ithink cycle, we're giving people some amazing nights, i think we've given our supporters, you know, some of the best nights over the last 50 years so i'm hugely proud of that, i'm delighted if everybody at home is feeling the way we are, and the

weakest quarters in the stadium were feeling, but from our point of view, we're not finished. we've got, you know, the greatest possible test to prepare for and we came here to try and win the tournament and that's been our aim. ldistill and win the tournament and that's been our aim-— and win the tournament and that's been our aim. will the experience of three years — been our aim. will the experience of three years ago. _ been our aim. will the experience of three years ago, playing _ been our aim. will the experience of three years ago, playing for- been our aim. will the experience of three years ago, playing for the - three years ago, playing for the final, _ three years ago, playing for the final, recall on your experiences to help you _ final, recall on your experiences to help you this time around and is there _ help you this time around and is there an — help you this time around and is there an important balance to strike tonight— there an important balance to strike tonight in— there an important balance to strike tonight in terms of celebrating a moment— tonight in terms of celebrating a moment or focusing on the game on sunday? _ moment or focusing on the game on sunda ? ., ., ., , ., sunday? yeah, i mean, the lads are sinrain in sunday? yeah, i mean, the lads are singing in the _ sunday? yeah, i mean, the lads are singing in the dressing _ sunday? yeah, i mean, the lads are singing in the dressing room, - sunday? yeah, i mean, the lads are singing in the dressing room, but i singing in the dressing room, but they are straight in the eyes, you know. there won't be any wild parties, we had some of those already, we pick our moments for

those but yeah, in terms of the experience, of course. every game you manage, every tournament you manage, you learn so much. and when i took thisjob, i'd had three manage, you learn so much. and when i took this job, i'd had three years at a premier league manager, i've now had 100 international, some of the biggest names in world football, you learn all the time from that. so we are more calm going into the knockout games because the first time we did it in russia, we hadn't won a knockout game for ten years, we hadn't been to the experience. quarterfinal, semifinals, you know, we've managed a lot of those games now. you're definitely much better prepared because every experience you go through, you learn from. and, yeah. you're improving all the time, your knowledge, your understanding, so yeah, i would say if you're a coach and you're not doing that, there would be a problem, really.

been watching, celebrating like they were. so we are kindred spirits in many ways. but of course i'm the one that has to pick a team and yeah, to be able to give them a night like tonight, very, very special. thank ou ve tonight, very, very special. thank you very much. — tonight, very, very special. thank you very much, thank _ tonight, very, very special. thank you very much, thank you - tonight, very, very special. thank you very much, thank you for- tonight, very, very special. thank| you very much, thank you for your presence — you very much, thank you for your presence. thank— you very much, thank you for your presence. thank you _ you very much, thank you for your presence. thank you to _ presence. thank you to the volunteers _ presence. thank you to the volunteers who _ presence. thank you to the volunteers who helped - presence. thank you to the volunteers who helped us i presence. thank you to the i volunteers who helped us out, presence. thank you to the - volunteers who helped us out, and congratulations _ volunteers who helped us out, and congratulations for _ volunteers who helped us out, and congratulations for entering - volunteers who helped us out, and congratulations for entering the i congratulations for entering the final _ congratulations for entering the final. . .. congratulations for entering the final. . ~' , ., congratulations for entering the final. ., ,, , ., final. thank you. so, we were heafina final. thank you. so, we were hearing there _ final. thank you. so, we were hearing there from _ final. thank you. so, we were hearing there from the - final. thank you. so, we were l hearing there from the england football manager gareth southgate and that idea, the lads are singing in the dressing room, they are straight in the eye ice. what's ahead of them is that final on willow, one of my colleagues who has been with us throughout the whole journey of the

they needed it most, they produce the finest display. their match day march has been a standout feature of these euros and today, the biggest to date. having made the shortjourney from the dutch border, an estimated 100,000 netherlands fans, descending on dortmund and turning swathes of the city orange. both are playing well but look at the crowd. we took over dortmund. the crowd on the other side, the netherlands, great people, great time, full of energy and it'sjust amazing. in a first for their campaign, england's followers found themselves outnumbered but still dreaming of extending theirjourney to the final itself. # it's coming home. here, in one of the game's most iconic grounds, two footballing heavyweights about to go head to head for the right to take on spain in sunday's showpiece. in an atmosphere of shuddering intensity, concentration would be paramount and when declan rice was robbed, xavi simons took full advantage. the edge of the box and he's flashed

it pastjordan pickford! having gone behind in each of the last few matches, england would have to fight back again. this time they at least had time on their side and may be some luck. harry kane claimed he had been fouled in the box by denzil dumfries. after a review, the referee finding in england's favour. it's going to be a penalty for england. kane's faced his fair share of criticism at these euros. the captain responding in emphatic fashion. it's harry kane. it's 1-1! suddenly, england were in the ascendancy. phil foden dazzled. his mazy dribble cleared off the line by dumfries. before the dutch defender turned attacker. and there's dumfries doing just that. in a pulsating first half, foden then going agonisingly close once again. phil foden! my word! jordan pickford's crucial to england's campaign and the goalkeeper kept the dutch at bay as they pressed after the restart.

england had been subdued. until this. bukayo saka appearing to have scored a late winner but it was ruled out for offside. 1—1 it remained. england then making changes in a match that looked set for extra time and a nerve shredding conclusion. but in added time, substitute ollie watkins gave england the moment the dream of. the moment they dream of. and ollie watkins in the final minute! this campaign has relied on instances of individual brilliance. none more important than this. england had made history. through to their first major final overseas and now with a chance of sporting immortality. my my word, what again, dan, who is still in dortmund. now it's the spanish.

you have thousands of dutch fans behind you, christian, where are you? —— where are they now? we behind you, christian, where are you? -- where are they now? we are the stragglers — you? -- where are they now? we are the stragglers at _ you? -- where are they now? we are the stragglers at the _ you? -- where are they now? we are the stragglers at the party _ you? -- where are they now? we are the stragglers at the party but it's i the stragglers at the party but it's a party we don't want to end as i'm sure is the feeling for a lot of england fans in this city tonight, they will be drinking long into the night, marveling over the ollie watkins goal at the end. we had a real carnival today i have to say and full credit to the dutch fans who were here and there are tens of thousands today. not far of course for them to drive across the border to get here. but the anthem, the left, the right, the singing in the streets and the generally good attitude between them and england fans really did make it a special day. you can imagine what it was like behind me after seven minutes when simons scored, the beer was over they they were chanting, they were all up, it was pretty special. it then went quite flat, first the penalty and then on 90 minutes plus

one, the goalfrom ollie watkins penalty and then on 90 minutes plus one, the goal from ollie watkins as dan said, really did send the party flat. in fact many of them were heading out of here before the final whistle blew. they did turn a little nastyjust be honest, there was a pocket of england fans just in front of the stage here, they were surrounded and they were the focal point for a while, boots and fists were flying, it was a bit ugly. but that's really the only black market i think on a day when there were tens of thousands of fans getting generally on pretty well. it has been tense really, we were biting our nails tonight, and i'm just reading this message from the king. he sent a note to gareth southgate and his team. he says," my wife and ijoin all ourfamily and and his team. he says," my wife and ijoin all our family and wishing you the warmest congratulations.

i'm sure the stresses on the nation's collective heart rate and blood pressure would be greatly alleviated, good luck england.
