Brewster is looking very very promising. 3 goals in 6 games in the league, 7 goals in 5 games at the world cup. Still very early on in his career and much can go astray as yet but right now looking very promising and could be one that Chelsea regret losing hold of in time to come.

Brewster has been annoyingly wayward for some time, so it's a relief that he is putting them away now. I wouldn't hold out too much hope for his future. However, Liverpool do have a future England senior star in the year below, Curtis Jones. Tell any Liverpool fans you may know - they might not have realised yet. Talking of future England stars Jadon Sancho (who I awarded with future England star status in April 2016) of course was disgracefully called back to Dortmund after the group games. Another such England star is Chelsea's Hudson-Odoi. He's due a big performance in the final.

Well, men. The moment has finally arrived. One final big push is required. It would be sad if we falter now. Every man needs to do his duty - even if it means getting hit with the ball.

Good start so far. Foden looks the business.

Cracking cross!

Foden and Gomez have been on a different planet to the rest of the players in this tournament. Real ones to watch.

There's still 20mins to choke under the pressure, concede a late equailiser and then lose on penalties.

edit: clearance off the line. gulp

Don't be ridiculous, we're English...

This is what England can do when the media aren't snooping for scandals and heaping pressure on.
