HOST A EUROS THEMED PARTY

INVITE the neighbours round and make a day of it with the help of themed food, drink and decorations. Aldi is offering a range of snacks, from meatballs to pizzas, while Tesco has a brisket and chuck beef burger. At Iceland, there’s a £5 deal on two pizzas and a range of drinks.

And don’t forget decorations: Party Pieces ( partypieces.co.uk) sells a range of football-themed banners, plates, cups and napkins from £1.99, or buy Euro 2020 bunting from Amazon for £7.99.

EACH national team can register a squad of up to 26 players, but the 11strong team isn’t usually revealed until one hour before each match.

England captain, top goal-scorer in the Premier League and all-round nicest man in football Harry Kane is the shining star of the home squad.

The 27-year-old father-of-three is married to his childhood sweetheart, Kate, abstains from drinking during the season and was made an MBE in 2019 for services to football.

You’ll also recognise defender Kieran Trippier, 30, the golden boy of the 2018 World Cup, and forwards Marcus Rashford, 23, (right) and Raheem Sterling, 26. The latter found himself in hot water after partying with Usain Bolt last summer, three days before the sprinter tested positive for Covid-19.

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, 25, is the hunk of the squad. With his rugged facial hair and slicked-back locks, he’s been dubbed ‘Zac Efron’s better-looking brother’.

And not forgetting Jude Bellingham, England’s wunderkind, who — at 17 — is the team’s thirdyoungest international player; only Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney have appeared earlier.

On the Croatian side, keep your eyes peeled for Luka Modric (the one with the hairband), widely regarded as the greatest Croatian footballer of all time, and 6ft 4in Duje CaletaCar, 24, (left) whose name translates as ‘Daddy-Emperor’.
