The running joke? “We’ll see you in the final.” The draw and results have delivered the punchline: a mouthwatering tie between the European champions England and a technically gifted Spain.
“We message before each game saying good luck, and obviously the idea was hopefully we would see each other in the final – but we didn’t actually expect it to happen,” Walsh said.
