Lineker: England Poised on the Brink of Making History.

Former England striker Gary Lineker believes Gareth Southgate's team is on the verge of making history following their qualification for the Euro 2024 final.

England secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday night, securing their place in Sunday's Euro 2024 final against Spain.

This marks the first time the men's team has reached a final outside of England, having previously contested the 1966 World Cup final and the 2021 Euro final at Wembley. In contrast, the women's Euro triumph in 2022 occurred on home soil.

Despite their 1966 World Cup victory, England's men have never won the European Championship, while Spain boasts three titles.

Gary Lineker, set to host BBC One's coverage of the final, emphasized the significance for English football, noting the disappointment of their recent Euro 2021 final loss to Italy at Wembley.
