Getting on a bit now - will he be able to hack it? I imagine playing so many games in such a short time will have taken its toll on him, and he's not getting any younger.

I've had the first big wave of nerves, in fact a feeling closer to panic than butterflies. It's passed now thankfully. I want the kickoff to never come and I want it now. Surely this time. Surely to fuck this time

Me too. A piece of classic ITV scheduling (James Bond) is seeing me through til chippy tea, but I'm ready NOW.
May Kasahara
take me to the feeling
I have had several glasses of wine at the inlaws', which means I will be scratchy and slightly hungover by kick off time.

Obviously I'm going to keep drinking, but still.

Fuck you Dave!
Coming and going here. This morning was good fun, lots of staff at work, me included in England tops. Beer and BBQ stuff selling well. It was a festival type atmosphere.
Now it's more of a nervy than excited feel. I appear to be watching every meme video I can involving England. Currently outside trying to read while drinking a canned cocktail.
Come on

Yipchaa!
It is genuinely somewhat sad to me that I don't get as nervous as I might once have.
It'll be different once everything gets started, but fundamentally I simply don't care as much as I used to.
That's genuinely not meant dismissively, and in large part it's just symptomatic of a more general change in my relationship with football over the past few years. It's just the way it is, but it does leave me feeling like I'm missing out on certain aspects of days like today.
Of course, during the last final I was literally falling to my knees in front of the TV during the penalties, so, y'know, clearly something's still in there somewhere

When (not if) we win, send up a cheer so loud he'll hear it.I really wish Badgers was here
Rebelda
Nearly as bad as Badgers
It's coming home, all hail Great Leader Gareth etc. I'll have to get that fucking tattoo when we win, I know full well death doesn't cancel out a deal like that

Me too! Well, Ibiza. The bar I'm in at the moment has 50% Spanish and 50% English supporters. Buzzing!

It's the hope that kills you.
But it's not a bad way to go, I guess.

Shaw in for Trippier

Big call, but a bold one. Trippier perhaps more suited to worrying about Spain, Shaw better for making them worry about us.
I'm in Seville on my way to an Irish pub hoping for a little more English than the other bars I have passed (pretty close to 100% Spanish)

We're big on hope, glory not so much.

One on one? You're crazy.

Real fear now. Of losing, of winning. I have no idea how I'll cope with either.

Still a queue outside the Billet at 6.30 , a girl tried to get in via the exit door , security were having none of it , pointed her to the end of the queue 
they've also got security guards to stop people climbing over a fence into the garden at the back . #scenes .

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm an FA coach too.
It's just that those knobbers don't know why they are passing it back and think its negative football. Then get bored and get on the packet and spoil it for everyone else.

Nervous and excited, I'd love to see us win something just once in my lifetime.
I think Spain look better but the way our tournament has gone, I think/hope it could be possible.

Couldn't face going to the pub for this. Have the telly running through a 1kw sound system usually reserved for drum and bass, the foundations of the house are being challenged and I'm absolutely buzzing.
John Stones to be man of the match, you heard it here first.
