England fans reconnected with Gareth Southgate's side after one magic night in Dortmund, writes CRAIG HOPE... everything changed and all of a sudden there was a lot to love

Daily Mail  

Last weekend, in Dusseldorf, there was relief, and yet it was confronted by frustration. There was little to love about an England team whose teeth were coated in skin. They had beaten Switzerland on penalties in a European Championship quarter-final but, to walk somewhat wearily away from the stadium - amongst fans and ourselves - it did not feel like a heady tournament night drowned in ecstasy and optimism. Prior to Wednesday, there was little to love about an England team whose teeth were coated in skin But after a magic night in Dortmund, there has been a reconnection between England fans, coaches and players Ollie Watkins scored a decisive last-gasp winner against the Netherlands to seal England's spot in the Euro 2024 final There had been no big occasion, really. Gareth Southgate celebrated wildly in front of the England fans in Dortmund after the victory Everything changed in Dortmund, with England delivering a performance that was worlds apart from their previous displays in Germany England supporters back home and in Germany celebrated their side's victory wildly And all of a sudden there was a lot to love about an England side who had, before Wednesday, not lived up to their own billing All eyes now turn to Berlin where Harry Kane and England will have to overcome a dangerous Spain side to win Euro 2024 Everything changed in Dortmund.
