An Oxford couple and their three dogs have got their England shirts on and ready for the 2024 UEFA Euro final this weekend.
England have reached the final of the tournament in Germany following a scintillating semi-final victory against the Netherlands on Wednesday night (July 10).
Ollie Watkins’ last-minute goal granted the Three Lions a memorable 2-1 win in Dortmund and granted them safe passage into Sunday’s final in Berlin.
Thea Wright, wife Julia and their three furry friends from Marston have been following all the action throughout the tournament and are gearing up for Sunday’s big game.

“We are all very excited and have a dog party planned at our home, with pizza and dog beers all dressed in all our England outfits to support the boys,” she said.
“Dotty and Haggis are cheering on Trent Alexander-Arnold while Gizmo’s favourite player is Jude Bellingham.
“Julia’s most exciting moment was when we scored in the last few minutes she cheered so loud and blew her horn that the whole street could hear the celebrations.
“We all want the boys to bring it home this year is our year.”

Sunday’s match will be the second successive UEFA Euros final that Gareth Southgate’s men have played after reaching the same stage on home soil in 2021.
An agonising loss on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Italy saw hearts broken at Wembley but England will hope to go one step further this weekend.
The Three Lions will take on Spain on Sunday at the Olympiastadion in Berlin with kick-off set for 8pm.
