      This is your moment, Lions! When the Euros started I predicted we’d win – there are three signs I’ll be proved RIGHT

      by

      SO, here we are again.Three years ago, I slumped out of Wembley Stadium sick to the pit of my stomach after England choked the last Euros final against Italy. England finally kicked into top gear against the Netherlands, especially in the first halfCredit: GettyPiers expects England to meet Spain head-on and overwhelm them with a scintillating display of attacking flair and powerI say choked because we should have won it; we were the better team but played with far too much defensive timidity as the game wore on.The penalty shoot-out that night was one of the most agonising things I’ve ever endured, with the possible exception of breaking five ribs and collapsing a lung after falling off a Segway in LA – or facing Australian fast bowler Brett Lee in a cricket net which turned into another rib-crunching nightmare.Watch Piers’ explosive interviews on his Uncensored YouTube channel hereAnd my sick stomach turned out to be the least of my health problems as I also got infected with covid at the stadium, which led to long covid and seven months of no taste and smell.READ MORE FROM PIERS MORGANLosing a big football match is one thing, but losing my ability to enjoy fine wine was a catastrophe!I therefore have very profound personal reasons for wanting a different result this time round.But if that’s how I’m feeling, imagine what emotions the England players who lost that day are experiencing?Actually, we don’t need to imagine.Most read in Euro 2024Declan Rice admitted: ‘Seeing Italy lift that trophy will haunt me forever.’However, he added: ‘We know now what we have to do, compared to last time, in terms of how to control the game, not to sit back. We know how we can win this final which I think is a positive.’England gets ready for almighty Euro 2024 final party with fans set to spend £800MILLION on beer and pizzaYes, it is.As Frank Sinatra once said, the best revenge is massive success.And I’m convinced the pain and torment of the way the last final ended will now drive us to triumph and joy. One month ago, I wrote a Sun column right before the Euros began that predicted England could win because we have ‘pace, power, several genius ballers, a top goalkeeper, and a goal-scoring machine upfront.’But I cautioned that we would only do it if manager Gareth Southgate found his bottle and ordered his men to attack, attack, attack.Tomorrow night, I confidently predict that I’ll be proven right.First, because after an explicably dull, plodding, snail-like first few matches of the tournament, we finally kicked into top gear against the Netherlands, especially in the first half.  Carpe diem, lads!Second, because Safety-first Southgate has at last found his bottle, ripping the restrictive reins off his team, and making bold, daring, courageous late substitutions that led to a thrilling last-minute victory.And third, because after 58 years of bloody hurt, this is surely our time again?Yes, yes, I know Spain have played the best football in this year’s Euros.And they have brilliant young players like 16-year-old Lamine Yamal, who Gary Lineker says is better than Pele and Messi at the same age.And the record of Spanish teams in international and club finals is ridiculous, with 26 straight wins since 2002.But this England team is man-for-man the best we’ve had since Bobby Moore’s 1966 World Cup winning heroes.And they’re hitting their best collective form right when it matters, at the business end of the tournament.They also, from Harry Kane to Jude Bellingham, have a steely glint in their eyes, fuelled by intense irritation at fully justified media criticism of their woeful early performances, that tells me coming second again simply isn’t an option.That’s why I confidently expect England to meet the rampaging Spanish footballing Armada head-on and overwhelm them with a scintillating display of attacking flair and power. To Gareth’s glory-hunters, I simply say this:This is your moment.READ MORE SUN STORIES This is England’s moment. Carpe diem, lads!Gareth Southgate has been making bold, daring, courageous late substitutionsCredit: APThe England team is the best we’ve had since Bobby Moore’s 1966 World Cup winning heroesCredit: Getty More

      Major change could be made to Euros as nation faces being STRIPPED of hosting rights by Uefa

      by

      FOOTBALL governing bodies Uefa and Fifa could throw the book at Italy and strip them of hosting rights for Euro 2032, it has been revealed.The Euro 2020 victors are joint hosts with Turkey for the 2032 tournament after being awarded the rights by Uefa’s executive committee last year.Euro 2032 could see its host nation stripped of the rightsCredit: GettyUefa president Aleksander Ceferin sent a joint letter with Fifa to the Italian FACredit: GettyFIGC President Gabriele Gravina was warned a new policy could breach rules on government interference in footballCredit: EPAHowever, a major change could be in the works for the competition in eight years time.A new policy known as the Mulè Amendment is pushing for Serie A, Serie B and Lega Pro to break away from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).This would work in a similar way to how the Premier League broke away from the English Football Association.The amendment had been criticised as a breach of the rules regarding government interference in sports administration. READ MORE IN EURO 2024And as revealed by Repubblica, Uefa and Fifa sent a letter warning Italy they may face severe repercussions as a result of the new amendment.Originally, it had motioned that club’s and players be allowed to bypass the sporting justice system and appeal directly to the TAR tribunal.In their letter to FIGC president Gabriele Gravina, football’s governing bodies said: “We are forced to intervene in the interest of the principles and values of the sports system that we support…”The amendment is in stark contrast with these principles. It has blatantly ignored the central role that federations play in ensuring the balanced and healthy development of sport.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”We expect politics to respect the autonomy of football.”The letter added: “It turns out that every single point of the original amendment was incompatible with the obligations of the FIGC.England vs Netherlands Player Ratings”If the amendment were to be approved in its original form or in a new wording that would still support the elements addressed in this letter, we would have no choice but to refer the matter to our decision-making bodies to assess possible measures, including the possible suspension of the FIGC.”One such punishment would be the aforementioned stripping of hosting rights for the 2032 tournament, as well as them being booted out of international tournaments such as the World Cup.However, according to news agency ANSA via Business Day, the amendment was passed with some changes.It turns out that every single point of the original amendment was incompatible with the obligations of the FIGCUefa and Fifa letterRepubblicaThe changes included the removal of the provision allowing clubs to bypass the sporting justice system and appeal directly to the TAR tribunal.It is understood this new version has been sent to Uefa and Fifa for evaluation.Giorgio Mulé, who drafted the ruling, said on the latest draft: “To guarantee an adequate representation in the federal systems, the professional leagues have the right to equal representation in the directive organizations of the sporting federations that take into account the economic contribution given to the system.”READ MORE SUN STORIESHe added: “A new era begins for Italian football today with the fair recognition of the weight and role that the Lega Serie A has within the Federation.”A new page finally brings us up to date with modern times.”Euro 2024 final stadium is home to English football’s most shameful episodeGARETH SOUTHGATE and his players will walk in the footsteps of sporting infamy on Sunday.And they also have the chance to wipe out the memories of English football’s most shameful episode by replacing it with glorious triumph.For many, the Olympiastadion will always be the place where Jesse Owens humiliated Adolf Hitler in his own backyard.But the 1936 Olympics WERE used by the Nazis as pure propaganda, as a statement about the supposed supremacy of the “Aryan race”.The ghosts of those Games still flit between the towers and the colosseum-style architecture.Fans walking in on Sunday will see the plinth where the Olympic cauldron was lit by Fritz Schilgen – handpicked by propagandist film-maker Leni Riefenstahl – still there, high in the stands above one goal.And two years later, when the FA disgracefully ordered England’s players to raise their arm in the Nazi salute before beating Germany in a friendly, it seemed that the British state was implicitly accepting Hitler’s authority and power.The Three Lions have the opportunity to right that ancient wrong yet nothing can detract from the stadium’s place in the pantheon of sport’s darkest hours.Read the full story HERE.

      Lamine Yamal’s Spain pals to throw small party for 17th birthday… as they hope for massive bash after Euro 2024 final

      by

      LAMINE YAMAL’S team-mates will throw a small party to celebrate his 17th birthday on Saturday – hoping for an even bigger one just 24 hours later.The Spain sensation turns 17 tomorrow, having already claimed a slice of history at Euro 2024.Lamine Yamal turns 17 tomorrowCredit: GettyTeammate Dani Olmo has explained the Spanish side’s plans to celebrate his birthdayCredit: ReutersYamal became the youngest ever goalscorer at a European Championship with his stunning semi-final strike against France.By simply starting the game the Barcelona youngster also beat Pele’s record as the youngest player to appear in a major tournament semi-final.Teammate Dani Olmo said: “We’re going to celebrate with a cake, probably, and with a song.”He added: “Lamine is an amazing player. He has shown already what, at 16 years, I think not many players in history did.READ MORE ON EURO 2024“What is most important is his mentality, his way of thinking.”He’s calm, he’s a good guy, he’s a good team-mate as well.“He’s working for the team, bringing the individual quality to the team, which is the most important thing.“At the end, everything that’s coming will be good for him and for us.”Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSInside the baffling, brilliant story of Lamine Yamal – from being bathed by Messi to doing homework while taking Euros by stormLAMINE YAMAL has confirmed his status as football’s next superstar at Euro 2024 – but has only been playing 11-a-side games for four years, write Jack Rosser.Spain’s incredible 16-year-old bent home the goal of the tournament so far against France as La Roja sealed the spot in the final.But his first five years in Barcelona’s academy were spent playing seven-a-side football, up until the age of 12 in 2020 when he finally got a crack at 11-a-side games.Yamal’s story is baffling, brilliant and barely believable in equal measure.He is a boy born to a Moroccan father and a mother from Equatorial Guinea, who turns 17 tomorrow and was cradled by footballing royalty at just six months old.Staggering pictures of Yamal as a baby being held and bathed by Messi, taken for a Barcelona charity calendar 16 years ago, resurfaced this week.He did not restrict his brushes with greatness to Barcelona either, with footage of Yamal as an academy player walking as a mascot with Spain and Real Madrid icon Sergio Ramos at an El Clasico in 2016.There is a touch of fate about this gem, Spain’s “little MVP”, as team-mate Nico Williams has dubbed him.Yamal has been doing homework in his spare time and received exam results during the tournament. He passed, obviously.Now he’s the youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros, also becoming the youngest player to ever start a major semi-final – claiming that title from Pele.But it’s Yamal’s humble approach on and off the pitch that most impresses everyone he meets.And France star Adrien Rabiot probably felt quite embarrassed as he boarded his plane back home from Germany.He had tried to intimidate Yamal ahead of their semi-final clash – telling Yamal he “needs to do more.”Was this good enough, then? Yamal responded with a goal for the ages and a man of the match performance.A season which started with a pre-season game against Tottenham where Yamal excelled but was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp scoring a brace will end on the biggest stage European football has to offer on Sunday.From being outshone by Skipp to eclipsing Pele’s records is not a bad year’s work – just imagine what he will do when he grows up.Read all about the incredible rise of Lamine Yamal in full…Fellow winger Nico Williams, who is Yamal’s closest friend in the Spain squad, celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday.The two close pals could even end up playing together at Barcelona next season, with the Spanish giants looking to sign Williams from Athletic Bilbao.Amazing footage shows Spain star Lamine Yamal holding hands with Sergio Ramos as mascot at iconic El ClasicoTogether the pair have notched up six goal contributions in Germany this summer and have looked like the biggest threats for Spain’s red hot side.But they will have the tough task of facing off against England’s resolute defence on Sunday.Yamal became the youngest every goalscorer at a European Championship with his stunner against France in the semi-final on TuesdayCredit: AP More

      Bitter German press accuses England of ‘CHEATING their way into Euro 2024 final’ ahead of huge clash vs Spain

      by

      BITTER German press have accused England of “cheating” their way into the Euro 2024 final.Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions will face off against Spain in Berlin on Sunday as they look to lift a major trophy in the men’s game for the first time since 1966.Bitter German media have claimed England have ‘cheated’ their way into the Euro 2024 finalCredit: RexIt’s not been an easy journey for England as they’ve battled through every game, relying on penalties, extra time, injury time goals and their own resilience to force their way into this weekend’s showpiece.And German media have claimed that Southgate’s side have “cheated” their way to the bright lights of Berlin, hinting that England should not have progressed past the Netherlands on Wednesday.Ollie Watkins’ 90th minute winner against the Dutch was the goal that sealed a second shot at European glory for Southgate’s Lions.Watkins had built upon Harry Kane’s first half spot-kick equaliser, which left Dutch players and staff fuming after Denzel Dumfries was adjudged to have fouled the England skipper in the box.READ MORE ON EURO 2024The Oranje players were adamant that the penalty should not have stood with many suggesting the referee got the decision completely wrong after a VAR check.And German outlet BILD has since labelled England as cheaters in their build up to Sunday’s showpiece clash with Spain.A post on their website reads: “Only two days left until the 17th European Championship final between Spain and England will take place in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.”The signs on Sunday are clear: While the British cheated their way into the final, the Spanish impressed throughout the entire tournament.”Most read in Euro 2024Denzel Dumfries’ high challenge caught the foot of Harry Kane to give England a penalty in the semi-finalCredit: GettyKane netted the controversial penalty to level the scores for EnglandCredit: GettyBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSWhile another post on the site bills the game as “the team that plays the most beautiful football against the team that plays the most pragmatic football”.Following England’s dramatic 2-1 win over the Netherlands, Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk also hinted that the penalty awarded to the Three Lions shouldn’t have stood.England vs Netherlands Player RatingsIn a post-match interview he took aim at referee Felix Zwayer, saying: “I don’t know what I should say, I don’t know if I should say something about this.”I said it outside to our Dutch media, it says it all that the ref went in quite quickly after the game and we had no time to shake his hand.”It is what it is, the game is done, it’s very tough to take.”Certain moments it’s obvious that it [decisions] should’ve gone our way, it didn’t. I don’t know what to say, it’s difficult to accept this.”It’s been a very long year, a tough year. We had a big dream and we felt like we could’ve achieved it as a team, unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”While Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman gave a similar assessment in his interview following their exit.He said: “This is not a penalty. His only intention was to block a shot. Harry Kane then shoots and their feet collide.”Football is getting broken with these types of calls by VAR.”Virgil van Dijk was left fuming with the decision to award a penalty to EnglandCredit: ReutersRonald Koeman was also dumfounded by the referee’s callCredit: RexBut Dumfries, who fouled Kane for the penalty, held his hands up and took responsibility for the decision.He said: “I take all responsibility for the penalty moment. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to block the shot.”Sections of the English media even thought that the Three Lions were lucky to get the decision themselves, as Gary Neville described the penalty call as “a disgrace”.But others thought the decision was spot on, with Ian Wright labelling Dumfries’ intervention as “reckless”.England’s hard work has earned them a spot in Sunday’s final and they have continued to look better and better as each game has gone by.READ MORE SUN STORIESThey will play in their first major final on foreign soil this weekend against Spain, who Southgate has claimed have been “the best team” at Euro 2024.Germany were knocked out by the Spaniards themselves in the quarter-finals – losing 2-1 after a 119th minute winner from Mikel Merino got Spain over the line.Ollie Watkins scored a 90th minute winner to book England a spot in the finalCredit: GettyThe Three Lions have left it late a number of times as they’ve grafted their way to BerlinCredit: GettyGareth Southgate has warned of a tough challenge against Spain on SundayCredit: Rex More

      Incredible omen predicts England will win Euro 2024 as fans notice eerie similarity to former champions’ iconic run

      by

      ENGLAND fans have spotted a stark similarity with 2016 European champions Portugal that points towards them triumphing in Berlin on Sunday.Ollie Watkins’ 90th-minute strike against Netherlands has sent Gareth Southgate’s men into the final against Spain.England are one game away from a first major trophy in 58 yearsCredit: GettyPortugal reached the final in an eerily similar way to England before winning Euro 2016Credit: ReutersThe Three Lions are the underdogs heading into the showpiece event as Luis de la Fuente’s men have lit up the tournament with wins over Germany and France.But England supporters are now pointing towards their team’s mirroring of Portugal’s run eight years ago as a reason to believe they can claim victory over Spain.Southgate’s side beat Slovakia after extra time in the last 16 as Jude Bellingham’s dramatic late overhead kick saved them from being knocked out.They then beat Switzerland on penalties in the quarter-finals, before a win in 90 minutes over the Dutch in the last four.READ MORE ON ENGLANDThat is exactly the same path Portugal took to the 2016 final in Paris.Fernando Santos’ team beat Croatia after extra time to seal a quarter-final place, before they beat Poland on penalties.A 2-0 victory over Wales in the semis then set up a final with hosts France – who were the favourites heading into the match.And Eder’s extra-time goal clinched Portugal’s first ever major trophy in front of a stunned Parisian crowd.Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMuch like the Portuguese, England are the underdogs heading into the final.But the likeness of their run with the Euro 2016 winners is giving Three Lions fans hope of an upset.Meet Euro 2024 final ref who SLAPPED HaalandReacting to the comparison on social media, one fan said: “England will also beat the favourites.
