It's happening right? It might actually be happening. This is not a drill.

Well, strange. Good strange. Like an adolescent boy copping his first formative snog, we're not sure if it's meant to feel like this, but bloody hell does it feel good.
Some might say that the great change in this team as opposed to earlier iterations of England is the togetherness, the sublimation to the collective rather than the drive for individual plaudits.

Seconds before that, he'd also tweeted a photo of himself with his fingers in his ears alongside the caption: "When you can't get 'it's coming home' theme tune out your head."
Don't even try, Kyle. It's coming home and we need you to know that.
