England are one step away from searing their names into the history books and the anticipation is rising.

It is just two days now until the Three Lions take on Spain - who have won all of their matches at Euro 2024 - in the final.

On today's episode of the It's All Kicking Off! Euros Daily podcast, Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton inject a dose of optimism - if any more were needed after the jubilant scenes on Wednesday night.

Sutton explains that England's resilience to come behind and their knack for scoring goals are great strengths.

Meanwhile, Ladyman nods to the turning points he has seen in the tournament and names the player we should congratulate the most for his influence.

Elsewhere, the lads dive into Spain's weaknesses... and what job Sutton was doing at 16 in light of Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal's precocious performances at such an age.
