I want to be back home as I hear they are having street
parties.” Bobby Robson, 1 July 1990 – Cameroon 2 England
3So far there is only one player who can vouch that England is
experiencing the same kind of football frenzy the country last
encountered when World in Motion was in the charts, when
there was Bobby Robson and Gary Lineker and Nessun Dorma
and let’s-all-have-a-disco and Paul Gascoigne, with that big,
chip‑pan grin, until everything went so

kenny-young-jersey horribly wrong.
Fabian Delph has been trying to explain it to his teammates
after his visit home for the birth of his daughter. Delph kept
sharp by training at Manchester City. He flew back in a private
jet with the family of Vincent Kompany, his club colleague, and
he is being perfectly serious when he says England’s penalties
against Colombia brought his wife, Natalie, into labour. Delph
was home for four days and, now he is back in Repino, he has
let the others know the madness of it all.
How, after

remember that night in Turin 28 years ago? Are they aware of
the survey that estimates one in 10 people is contemplating
pulling a sickie for England’s semi-final against Croatia? Or the
story from Nottingham’s Theatre Royal about the final scenes
from Titanic: The Musical being interrupted by the cries of “yes”
from two women in the front row? England’s players have
been following through Twitter. But it is difficult, as Delph says,
to comprehend unless you have seen it close up. “We

are in for a shock when we are finished and go home.”
Back in Repino, meanwhile, the train to St Petersburg trundled
through and most of the tweeting came from the birds in the
pine forests. The FA deliberately chose this venue

England’s World Cup base because it was so quiet and out of
the way. One supermarket, a pharmacy next door and a few
miles along the coast, in Zelenogorsk, is the training ground
and, for reasons unexplained, a statue of a dachshund in the
centre of the village.
Did Southgate get that pint of bitter he said he was craving
after the quarter-final victory against Sweden? England’s
manager once had a reputation as the kind of man who would
paint the town beige, not red. But it was never correct. Above
all Southgate wants his players to enjoy these moments and
drink it all in. Families were invited into the team hotel on
Sunday. The players watched the game together and, behind
the smoked windows of the team bus, Southgate had asked
every member of his backroom staff to help create a playlist,
two songs each. At Euro 96 the players used to sing Three
Lions on the way to Wembley. Here they had another sing-
along. “The players were actually quite happy,” Southgate
reported. “They got us to turn it up.”
It was a happy camp and there was a lovely moment, before
leaving the Samara Arena, when a few of us let Southgate
know the video of his celebrations with the fans, conducting
the England orchestra, was already online. Before that there

“come on” that went viral after the Colombia match. We
showed him the footage. “There’s the emotion,” he said. “The
fans have paid a lot. They have come a long way and to be
able to connect with them … I’d love to be able to do it with
the however many millions who are watching at home but the
supporters who are here, they’re singing, and I know what
they’ve been through.
