Residents of Pinewood Gardens are in good spirits before England's match against Spain on Sunday but 'don't want to jinx anything'
Everything over the past month has been leading up to this. All of the matches, the cheers, the nerves, and the hard work has finally driven Gareth Southgate's men to Berlin, where on Sunday, they'll take on Spain in the Euros final in what looks to be one of the most nail-biting moments in recent sporting history.
As far back as Sunday, June 9, neighbours began working on their displays, with more than 1,000m of bunting stretched across about 25 houses. Resident Charlie Brown is the man behind the orchestration of decorations in the cul-de-sac. "That was one of the best moments in my life following football and now we're very excited for Sunday but also very nervous at the same time. I'm going to be in Berlin with my mates and my brother and we've all been following England home and away since 2016."
A 32-year-old woman who lives in a nearby street, but whose house is equally as decked out with bunting and flags, said: "We are all really excited and proud. England secured their place in the final thanks to a late Ollie Watkins winner in the 2-1 semi-final win over The Netherlands on Wednesday . For some residents of Pinewood Gardens, however, watching the final at home isn't enough for such a momentous occasion.
