A summer of beer gardening and alcohol throwing beckons on English shores with expectations sky-high for the national team heading into Euro 2024.
Beaten finalists at Euro 2020 and having seen their previous two World Cup campaigns end in knockout-stage heartbreak, many believe this might finally be the Three Lions' time in the sun.
Gareth Southgate has an abundance of riches to choose from and discourse heading into the tournament will be dominated by squad selection.
England are stacked across the board in terms of talent and there will be stars forced to miss out. Here's everything you need to know about Southgate's Euro 2024 squad announcement.
England's Euro 2024 squad must be finalised by Sunday 8 June.
However, before that, Southgate is set to name a so-called 'training squad' following the conclusion of the Premier League season. This squad will be involved in England's warm-up matches for the tournament against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 3 June and Iceland three days later.
The England boss will not have the luxury of picking a 26-man squad as he did for Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Southgate will only be allowed to take 23 players to Germany this summer. This reduction will require “a different sort of thought process," according to the man himself.
The March international break is a huge opportunity for Euro 2024 hopefuls to impress Southgate and his staff with England featuring in two high-profile friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.
While squad regulars like Harry Kane, Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson made the cut, previously uncapped youngsters such as Kobbie Mainoo, Jarrad Branthwaite and Anthony Gordon were also included.
