Is It Coming Home Or Rome?
KANE AND CHIELLINI  England manager Gareth Southgate hailed his team for reaching their first tournament final in 55 years but said Italy, their opponents in Sundays European Championship decider, will be a massive hurdle.  Southgate and the England players stayed on the field after the final whistle singing Sweet Caroline with the fans, and he suggested that was enough celebrating  for now. There was mayhem on the pitch and I was part of it. Weve got to enjoy the fact were in the final but theres one more massive hurdle to conquer. Italy are a very good side. Ive thought that the last couple of years. They are in outstanding form and have defensive warriors who have been through everything. Its a great game to look forward to. Finals are there to be won. Well regroup and prepare properly. We need to recover tonight, its taken a lot physically and mentally. Italy have also had that  although theyve had an extra day to recover, Southgate said. Harry Kanes strike in extra time earned a 2-1 win for England, who had trailed after half an hour, having conceded their first goal of the tournament. Southgate said: Im so proud of the players. Its an incredible occasion to be a part of. The fans were incredible all night. We knew it wouldnt be straightforward. We said to the players we have to show resilience and come back after setbacks and we did that. Weve had three memorable games on the bounce. We said we want to create memories for our nation. The young ones think its always like this. Ive just had to tell [teenagers Bukayo] Saka and [Jude] Bellingham it doesnt really work like this.  Southgate had suffered defeat in a Euro semifinal for England in 1996 and then again as manager in the World Cup in Russia three years ago and was glad to have taken the extra step.
