If you allow yourself to get excited as an England fan, you deserve what you get.

A dull 0-0 with the USA on Friday night has put Southgate and his team in a good position to qualify top of the group, but the lack of bite in their performance has left a lot of fans disappointed and concerned for what lies ahead.

However. We've all calmed down now and with a huge game against Wales just around the corner, now is the time to start cranking up the positivity levels again!

Southgate's boys are looking to put 56 years of hurt in the rear window and as far as starts go, they're off to a good one.

Four years on from his darkest hour in an England shirt, David Beckham was given a shot at redemption.

A lot had changed for the Three Lions since that France 98 knockout tie against Argentina, with Beckham at the centre of the team ever since that fateful red card in Saint-Etienne.

In the years since, Glen Hoddle had departed, Kevin Keegan had come and gone and we all bid farewell to the iconic Wembley stadium.

The FA had turned to foreign shores to steady the ship, bringing in Lazio manager at the King of Cool, Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Despite the tabloid hysteria, the Sexy Swede had got England to the World Cup in Japan & South Korea, where our Group of Narrative included Nigeria, Sweden and Argentina.

Today's clash sees David Beckham and England out for revenge in a HUGE match for the ages.

Today's episode looks back at a monster Home Nations clash from Euro 2016, where England looked to bring a bit of joy to fans during the worst year in human history.

Six years after the Three Lions had knocked Wales down to 117th in the Fifa rankings, The Dragons had undergone a major reset and came into the tournament in the top 10, sitting pretty above their opponents for today's game.

Roy Hodgson found himself in the England hot-seat after a sub-par World Cup two years previous, but had the likes of Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Leicester's Premier League winning hero Jamie Vardy to call upon.

In the Red corner, Wales felt unstoppable with Galactico Gareth Bale leading the charge.

This Group Stage match was set up to be a true test for both sides and an indicator of how each's tournament would unfold.

Let the games begin!

We're back for the USA Bicentennial Cup, celebrating 200 years of American independence.

To mark the occasion, the USA drafted in soccer stars from across the globe to form the one time only line-up of 'Team America' including Stewart Jump, Pele and...Bobby Moore.

That's right, the only Englishman to ever lift the World Cup is facing off against the Three Lions!

England, managed by Don Revie, saw the tournament as an opportunity to warm up for some impending crucial World Cup qualifiers, giving the likes of Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking a chance to freshen up for the Real Quiz.

Would Pele and Moore be victorious or can Mighty Mouse show that the kids are alright?

Find out only on... Is This England?

Phil Neville: England Manager. It seems strange now, but at the World Cup in 2019 Fizzer had helped build a squad of Lionesses who were a force to be reckoned with.

In today's game, we look at their fateful clash with THE team of this era in Women's Football: The US of A.

This one is classic England; a greatest hits medley of everything we've come to expect from our national side.

Sit back and enjoy!
