Keir Starmer may be in charge of running the country, but that's not going to stop him from keeping up with the football.

After beating Switzerland in the quarter-finals last week, the Three Lions are set to go head to head with the Netherlands in tonight's Euros semis.

And even though the new PM's attending a Nato summit in Washington DC, Keir Starmer has made sure he'll be kept up to date on the score.

Ahead of tonight's game, he joked that England hasn't missed a single penalty since he became PM - as Southgate's men reached the semi-finals after a 5-3 penalty shootout victory on Saturday.

When asked for his advice for the team tonight, he simply replied 'Win!'

The Labour leader also revealed that he'll be passed notes to keep him updated on the action.

"I understand our phones are all taken off us when we go into the [North Atlantic] Council, so I’ve no doubt we’ll be passed lots of notes with really important information about the summit, and one or two of those notes hopefully will be an update on the score, because I’m not going to be able to get it otherwise," he said, as per The Mirror.

"But, look, I’ve sent a message to the team, obviously I wish them well, I want them to win, and let’s hope they can do it.

"I’d remind you, England have not missed a penalty under a Labour government in 2024."

The leader of the Labour party, which won an impressive 411 seats in Thursday's election, also spoke about Arsenal player Bukayo Saka's equaliser in the 80th minute of the quarter-final.

Starmer said: "That was classic Bukayo, cuts in from the right and that shot is absolutely classic – inside of the post – I’ve seen it so many times."

Tonight's semi-final held in Dortmund is set to kick off at 8pm and will be available to watch live on ITV.

Starmer is expected to attend the Euro 2024 final in Berlin on Sunday if they win.

Given a few tense matches throughout the tournament, an England victory has at points seemed out of reach, but there's been renewed hope in the Three Lions as of late.

If the men's team do manage to win it all, they'll be set to receive quite the pay packet.

Not only will there be the total joy and satisfaction, but if we do finally see if come home, the squad will share a pot that adds up to a mega £9.6 million.

Not bad for a few week's work...
