you go all the way back to 1966, when sir bobby moore climbed the stairs here at the old wembley stadium trophy, that solitary win on the bigger stage back in 1966. you think about the heartache that has followed, no final appearances. the 1990 world cup, chris waddle, of course, missing that penalty at italia 90. gareth southgate, we spoke so many about his disappointments as a player and his penalty miss at euro 96 when england were knocked out against germany. but signs of progress, signs are perhaps things were changing when they made it through to the semifinal at the last world cup in 2018. they came through that penalty shoot—out victory against colombia, we've seen them win knockout matches at this tournament already. they won their opening match of the european championship against croatia what seems like an eternity ago. all the steps taking them to this huge moment and now they stand 45 minutes away from emulating those achievements of that 1966 world cup winning side. very few players have enjoyed this occasion, they have tonight and we wait to see whether it will be england
