Nothing brings the British public together quite like ice-cold pints in pub gardens and watching the England team play for an international title.
When the men’s national teams last got together to compete, the world was in a vastly different state. The UEFA Euro 2020 took place in 2021 with social distancing guidelines in place and England suffered a devastating loss to Italy on penalties at the Wembley final.
While the women’s team brought home a historic win in 2022, marking the first time since 1966 that any England football team had won a major championship, the men’s team has never felt closer to victory than in 2021.
Four years later, Southgate has assembled a 33-man group for the preparation games at St. Jame’s Park and Wembley, ahead of the final 26-player line-up which is expected to be announced on June 8.
Without the fear of a deadly virus hanging over our heads, the national mood is set to be wildly different than it was three years ago. Paired with the women’s national squad bringing football home just two years ago, we’re expecting the public to come out in droves – filling pubs, parks, and gardens with a team spirit that we can only hope will spur our beloved Three Lions to lift the cup.
There’s no better way to dress for the occasion this summer than by grabbing yourself an England shirt to wear throughout the competition. The latest kit design from Nike has, however, not been without controversy. On the Away shirt, the modified flag is concealed inside the back collar, while on the Home kit, it’s displayed on the outside.
The size, location and colour of the St George’s Cross on the Three Lions’ shirt has come under fire by the likes of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Yet with the nation’s political leader ruining the Adidas Sambas trend for fashion-conscious individuals across the country by endorsing the style, we’re confident that latent criticisms won’t affect the sale and popularity of the incredibly stylish, retro-inspired 2024 kit.
The latest women’s kit is expected to drop in June, with essential adjustments made to chest and waist widths, as well as an increase in the size of the sleeve opening following athlete consultation. The Lionesses began qualification to defend their Euro title in April, drawing with Sweden and beating the Republic of Ireland. Their next game is against France on Friday, May 31.
