– There are security concerns ahead of what is the Three Lions’ biggest match since the 1966 World Cup final.
– Sunday’s game represents England’s biggest match since the 1966 World Cup final, also at Wembley – as it is the first major final that the Three Lions have played since then.
– Reports around the ground suggest that numerous fans have managed to break security cordons and gain access to the stadium, although just how many have done so is unclear.
– Goal correspondent Nizaar Kinsella has explained what the atmosphere is like at the ground:
– “There’s some concern in the press box at Wembley, with journalists sharing stories of scenes witnessed on the 156-metre walk leading up to the stadium.
– “People have had their credentials stolen, there have been fights, displays of public nudity and 40 or so people tried to rush into the VIP club Wembley seats without tickets.
– “Personally, I witnessed some dangerous scenes with people climbing up scaffolding and an injured supporter with blood all down his face.
– “It has led to an atmosphere among security and police of concern as they risk being outnumbered before the showpiece event. Metal barriers have been erected now to try to control a crowd where many have consumed a significant amount of alcohol.”
