In accordance with Keith Duggan’s account following the 2006 World Cup in Germany, it was a seamless event marked by exemplary logistics, reasonable hotel pricing, peace, and flawless weather. In contrast, Euro 2024 bore no resemblance to Duggan’s description. However, it introduced the world to budding football star, Lamine Yamal, who just celebrated his 17th birthday. We also wish good luck to Luke Shaw.
Live coverage from the BBC has just revealed that Bellingham, Foden, and Kane will be included in England’s starting lineup for the match tonight. Whereas, RTÉ coverage doesn’t commence until 7 pm due to the airing of a documentary about Bloody Sunday in 1920.
Here are the potential team line-ups,
For Spain, a start will be seen by Simon, Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, Lamine Yamal, Olmo, Williams, and Morata. England will likely see Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Shaw, Foden, Bellingham, and Kane. The match begins at 8 pm.
Spain’s Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are set to return from their suspensions while a rumour suggests that England’s Luke Shaw will be starting as left back, potentially replacing Kieran Trippier. The official team announcements are expected any moment now.
Could the confrontation between Spain and England possibly rival the chaotic spectacle of the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, where Argentina managed to hold their ground against France? And speaking of Argentina, they are set to clash with Colombia in the Copa América finale at 1 o’clock in the morning, with Messi at the forefront. The wild unpredictable nature of this World Cup final alongside Messi’s climactic conclusion is honestly beyond belief.
