Euro 2025 been a very enjoyable tournament and, now, the wall-chart waits for one final update.
After Spain's first match, I thought they looked likely tournament winners. However, Germany pushed them all the way to extra time in the semi-final. Germany were the highest ranked team Spain had faced, so maybe Spain aren't so fearsome after all.
I didn't think England would make the final, especially after they lost their first game in the group stages. They actually went into their final group game with a microscopic chance of going out, but made no mistakes with a comprehensive victory over Cymru.
England's quarter-final against Sweden saw them claw back a two goal deficit and win a truly awful penalty shoot-out. Then in the semi-final it took a 95th minute equaliser and a 119th minute penalty to edge past Italy. Two games where they came from behind to win the hard way.
Will their fortune hold out on Sunday in the final? It's a rematch of the World Cup final two years ago. I'm hoping for a good game!
