ENGLAND'S GARETH SOUTHGATE SENDS MESSAGE TO SUPPORTERS BEFORE EURO FINAL

"Streets around Piccadilly Circus & Leicester Square are busy with fans. We have officers on hand," police said in a tweet,

"We'd urge everyone to keep themselves safe and look out for each other. We've seen people jumping off street lamps or hoardings, this could easily end in injury."

About 60,000 fans are expected to pack the stadium for the final.

England is in the midst of one of the best Euro runs in the national squad’s history. Since 2000, England had only made it through to the quarterfinals. The team was in the semifinals in 1996 and finished third in 1968.

Sunday represents a chance for England to win its first major trophy since 1966 when it won the World Cup.

Italy won the Euro in 1968 and was runner-up twice in the tournament, in 2000 and 2012.
