    The Three Lions have never had a better opportunity to end their 58-year wait for a major international trophy given the talent and experience they have in their armoury.
    MANAGER: Gareth Southgate
    The former England star has come closer than anyone since Sir Alf Ramsey to ending the Three Lions’ trophy hoodoo.
    Southgate is aware that the nations expects, and has even suggested he will quit if he doesn’t deliver the European Championship.
    STAR MAN: Jude Bellingham
    The Real Madrid star is arguably the world’s best player at the moment and gives England the platform they need to dominate big games.
    How England attack
    England will look to dominate the ball against almost everybody.
    Declan Rice is crucial in progressing the ball, Bellingham, Saka and Foden will rotate to pull defenders out of position and Kane can both score and drop deep to provide chances for others.
    How England defend
    England press man-to-man with the midfield pushing up to support Kane when the ball is lost and look to win it as close to the opposition goal as possible.
    However, the left-back spot could be a cause for concern, particularly with Luke Shaw entering the tournament with fitness worries.

    I’m an F1 star with £32m in career earnings but I hate driving – people try to race me at traffic lights

    FORMULA ONE star Lando Norris has revealed he “hates” driving on the road. Norris, 24, is entering his fifth full season with McLaren in F1.

    One encounter on the road saw a driver try to ‘take him on’ while in a McLarenCredit: Twitter/@McLarenF1
    His exploits behind the wheel of an F1 car have marked him out as a one of the fastest drivers on the grid.
    Norris has won 13 podiums throughout his career, including six second place finishes behind and one third last season.
    However, while he has a need for speed on the track when racing against the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, Norris does not enjoy the more pedestrian road driving for that exact reason.
    Appearing on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Norris was asked what his experience driving on the road was, to which he said: “I hate it. I’m more scared on the road than I am in a race car.”
    READ MORE IN F1
    Norris explained this feeling came from people wanting to take him on in a race when they pull up alongside him.
    He said: “Yeah I’ve had it (people wanting to take me on).
    “I actually had it [when] we were filming something and I was taking a kid to school and I had to go and pick him up from his house in the morning in a McLaren.
    “So he’s sitting beside me, cameras everywhere, driving nicely, speed limit and there’s traffic lights, I’m in my race suit in public and I’m sitting there and someone clocks me on the side.

    F1 star Lando Norris’ car collection boasts £166k McLaren GT & 765LT Spider worth £313k… plus VERY humble Fiat 500
    Norris added: “You have those moments but you need to let them have their little bit – I beat him off the line too – just feel good [moments]
    Norris is the son of Adam Norris, who was the 501st richest man in Britain as of 2018, but his talent behind the wheel has also allowed him to earn a cool £32million from his ever-improving McLaren deals.
    The latest renewal will see him remain at the team beyond the end of the 2025 season, with his current terms seeing him pocket £13m a year before possibly rising to £20m from 2026 onwards.
    In 2022 the Sunday Times reported Norris was worth £10m, though he is now estimated to be worth almost £24m.

    The Real Madrid shotstopper, 31, has come a long way since the first car he owned, a Ford Focus.
    After trading that in for a Aston Martin Vanquish, when he hit the big time, the giant Belgium goalkeeper has added some incredible motors to his fleet.
    He had to wait two years for his customised Porsche to made to his specifications, which ended up costing £350,000.
    Courtois is also a fan of Ferrari, as well as Lamborghini.

    Porsche 992 GT3 RS, £350,000
    After two years of waiting, Courtois was handed the keys of this stunning Porsche.
    He parted with £350,000 for the custom-built 992 GT3 RS, which has a top speed of 198mph and can go from 0-60mph in 3.14 seconds.
    Incredibly, the base model costs £212,000, but Courtois added £137,000 worth of extras.

    The motor even has Courtois’ signature painted on a door sill.
    Car website KRN Speed raved: “This is more delicious than Belgian chocolate.
    “Courtois has owned some pretty amazing cars over the years, but never something extraordinary like a specially commissioned 3 RS.”
    Lamborghini Urus, £188,000
    The Urus is now the go-to for any self-respecting footballer.
    There once was a huge waiting list for them, but that didn’t stop the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish and more splashing the cash on them.
    Courtois is no different, joining football’s elite by owning the stunning SUV.
    Incredibly, it can hit 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.

    Ferrari Roma, £200,000

    It boats a a turbocharged V8 engine, a 2+2 seating arrangement, and is based on the Portofino model.
    Courtois showed his off in 2021, when arriving at the Valdebebas to train.

    Mercedes AMG G63, £190,000
    Standing at 6ft7in tall, Courtois could do with some leg room when it comes to what he rides in.
    Which is why his spacious G-Wagon is the perfect car for him.
    It is, without doubt, the finest SUV on the market. Certainly one of the most luxurious.
    Regular G63’s come with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 engine that makes 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque.
    The 0-62 mph varies from 4.5 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

    Aston Martin Vanquish, £200,000
    Maybe Courtois learned a thing or two from former teammate for club and country, Eden Hazard.
    The ex-Chelsea playmaker owned a Vanquish – a ultimate gentleman’s car.
    James Bond star Daniel Craig once owned a limited edition version, which was sold at an auction for £344,000.
    The successor to the Vantage series, it’s capable of reaching 0-62 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
    It also featured in the Bond film Die Another Day.

    His first motor
    Footballers can own the most pitiful first cars. But Courtois got himself a decent runner.
    As a youth star he drove a sensible Ford Focus, which today cost around £29,000 for the sporty model.
    A winner of multiple awards through the years, they have a great reputation.
    They are also used as touring cars in motorsport, and some can reach speeds of up to 155 mph.

    TC Racing
    In 2023, Courtois launched his own racing team in Formula 4.
    He called, rather unoriginally, TC Racing. But to be fair, not many footballers back up their petrolhead credentials by establishing a race car team.
    Joining forces with Roberto Merhi, a Spanish driver who raced in Japan’s Super GT and F1 back in 2015, they plan on focusing on talent development.
    Belgium international Courtois posted a promotional film for the team on Instagram, announcing: “Here we are.”
    He has yet to nominate TC Racing’s drivers for the 2024 season.
