Soccer-After Germany win, there may be a future in England's dreaming

England manager Gareth Southgate prefers 'managing expectations' to euphoria but such an approach is hard to maintain when your team has just beaten their old rivals Germany and kicked off the biggest party since the pandemic hit the country. "Time to Dream - Nation's joy as Three Lions end Germany hoodoo and open up road to final" declared the front page of the Daily Mirror after what it called "England's night of glory" while the Daily Telegraph's reflected the post-lockdown vibe with "Finally something to cheer about". The bearded Southgate, who has the demeanour of a rather sensitive and supportive schoolteacher and chooses his words with the calculation of a career politician, was, however, very much 'on-brand' after the game.
