      How many fans will be allowed at Wembley for England’s last 16 game?
      England had been playing matches in front of 22,500 fans in the group stage – a 25 per cent capacity.

      And the UK government has confirmed to Uefa that the semi-final and final will be played in front of at least 60,000 fans – a 75 per cent capacity.

      How can I get tickets for the England last 16 game?
      Tickets are sold on the Uefa ticketing portal and are priced at 185 euros, 125 euros and 50 euros.
      England Supporters Club members will be allocated tickets separately, with the 4,841 fans who originally held tickets able to download Category C tickets immediately at a price of £45,
      However, this allocation will now be increased to 7,358 with the additional 2,500 tickets to be allocated to the supporters with the most loyalty points.
      Beyond this, England will be handed a further 17,000 tickets with 16,000 to be placed on the Uefa portal and 1000 to go to the Supporters Club.
      Germany have returned most of their allocation as their fans are unable to attend the game under UK quarantine rules.

      Where will England play their next games if they win?
      England will travel to Rome for the quarter-final should they get through the last 16.
      Both semi-finals and the final will then be played at Wembley, should England get there. More

      This was the case in Euro 2016 when only three players received a red card.
      And now three players have ALREADY seen a red card at Euro 2020, with the group stages still yet to be concluded.
      How many red cards have there been at Euro 2020?
      There has been two red cards at Euro 2020 so far.

      Grzegorz Krychowiak – POLAND vs Slovakia
      Ethan Ampadu – WALES vs Italy
      Harry Wilson – WALES vs Denmark

      Interestingly, both red cards were handed out by the same referee – Ovidiu Hategan of Romania.

      What is the suspension?
      Well, according to the Regulations of the Uefa European Football Championship article 52, a player who is sent off the pitch is suspended for the next game.
      And red card suspensions that cannot be served during the competition can be carried forward to the FIFA World Cup.
      But the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is also permitted to increase the punishment, and that can be extended to other competitions.

       Who is Emma Rhys-Jones?
      Emma Rhys-Jones, 29, has been with Gareth Bale, 29, for over a decade.
      She grew up in Llanishen, a district in north Cardiff a couple of miles from Bale’s family home.
      The couple began dating in the early 2000s while attending Whitchurch High School.
      They got engaged in July 2016 and Gareth announced the news on social media posting: “She said yes!! This is a birthday weekend I won’t forget for a long time…”
      The pair got married in 2019 – a year after Gareth scored a stunning goal in the Champions League final.

      Who is Emma’s fiance Gareth Bale?
      Gareth is a professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Wales.
      He was born on July 16, 1989, in Cardiff.
      He started his football career at Southampton before moving to Tottenham.
      He signed a six year deal with Spanish club Real Madrid in 2013.
      He’s won the Champions League with the club four times.

      When is Emma Rhys-Jones’ and Gareth Bale’s wedding?
      Emma and Gareth were set to get married in summer 2018 but the wedding has been postponed until 2019. 
      They decided to put their plans on hold due to an ongoing feud with Emma’s family.
      Her father Martin, 54, was released from prison in June after being imprisoned for fraud for six months in the US.
      But she banned him from the wedding after he moved in with a florist half his age, Alina Baranova. 
      Other members of her family including her aunt Jane Burns, 55, have been embroiled in a violent drugs feud.
      The couple were set to tie the knot at the  historic Vincigliata castle in Tuscany, where Theo Walcott – Gareth’s former Southampton team-mate – wed in 2014.
      But they are now reportedly getting married on private island Tagomago, near Ibiza, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.
      Bale will also splash out on ex-SAS soldiers to ensure his party are kept safe with any uninvited guests having no chance of getting ashore.

      How many children do Emma Rhys-Jones and Gareth Bale have?
      Gareth and Emma have three children – two daughters and a son.
      Their first child Alba Violet was born at the University Hospital of Wales on October 21, 2012.
      Their second daughter, Nava Valentina arrived on March 22, 2016.
      The couple’s son Axel was born on May 8, 2018. More

      All 24 teams that have qualified for the tournament will play three group stage games with the top two progressing to the knockout stages.
      And four of the best 3rd placed teams will also take part in the knockout stage of the competition.
      Luckily, yellow cards do reset for the teams who do make it towards the latter stages of Euro 2020 – but how many yellow cards result in a suspension and when do they reset?
      How many yellow cards result in a suspension?
      According to Uefa, article 52, a player is suspended for the next match after picking up two yellow cards in two different matches.
      A player will also be suspended if they pick up a fourth caution in four different matches.
      So if a player is going to pick up yellow cards, it’s better to get two out of the way early on in the group stages in order to make the Round of 16 game should their team make it.
