Former England striker Gary Lineker says Gareth Southgate's side are on the 'brink of history' after reaching the Euro 2024 final.It is the first time the men's side have reached a final outside England after playing the 1966 World Cup final and 2021 Euro final at Wembley, while the women's Euro victory in 2022 came on home soil.
"They were in a final, they were in the last final of the Euros, of course, and that was at Wembley, and that ended up in huge disappointment . Xavi Simons gave the Netherlands an early lead in Dortmund on Wednesday but Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot midway through the first half before Ollie Watkins scored the winner in the 90th minute.
"Even when they weren't playing great, they were grinding out results. And it's an old football cliche that if you can win when you play badly, then things are not that bad."
