The English are incredibly proud of their team reaching the final of Euro 2020. The Tower of London has even announced that, to mark such a remarkable achievement as the first appearance by an English team in the final of a tournament of this level since 1966, the drawbridge of the Middle Tower will be renamed Southgate for a week, in honour of the team's manager, Gareth Southgate. I do not know whether any proposals have yet been made to send the team to the Tower in the event of defeat, but I would draw attention to the presentation and the stunning effect of the news, since in reality the England side has qualified for the World Cup five times since 1966 and reached the quarter-finals three times, and has also reached the final of the UEFA championship, in 1984 and 2009. There is just one small clarification: that was the women's team, and its achievements have for some reason failed to imprint themselves on the popular memory.
