serbia and england fans have been staying here with a limited number of hotels are available in gelsenkirchen. are at gathering in the square behind me, a lot of fans will be gathering here to watch the game later. there is a big screen over my shoulder. two fan parks the area, one for the serbian fans and one for the england fans travelling without tickets, but some will be in the stadium later. england will start the tournament as one of the favourites, they lost to italy in the last tournament on penalties but with some of the very talented players that they manager karen southgate has at its disposal, no wonder that will start as one of the favourites. but he has said himself thatis favourites. but he has said himself that is sent to my will have to be exceptional but the message to the fans has been to enjoy themselves and for those ready here, they've been doing that. we'll top the group. then we'll just fly through the tournament and just win it, it'll be great. it's happening, it's coming home. it's coming home! football's coming home! wahey! # sweet caroline...#. we're definitely going to win. win the game against serbia, it's our toughest game but i think we'll win it. we've been here two days and it's been brilliant. the best thing ever! are england going to win the euros? 0h, definitely! definitely! when you know, you know. and that's why we got on the plane, because we know it's coming home. j we know we're going to win it. we know it's going to happen. the fans certainly think they're going to win, england is one of the favourites, how much pressure does that put gareth southgate and the team under?— that put gareth southgate and the team under?

when you know, you know and those fans clearly know. the - and those fans clearly know. the belief they have as a consequence of the result is that england have produced at recent major tournaments. and performances as well. the final of the last euros and the quarterfinals of the last world cup. there is pressure whereas previously england arrived at major tournaments with hope, now it is expectation and it does bring pressure. gareth southgate is all too aware of that is, not least his future has been a topic of conversation in the lead up to this tournament, not least because he suggested he may leave his role as england manager were england not to win the tournament this year. that's an indication of where his head is at. the fa will decide if he is replaced at the end of the tournament and have said they want him to carry on come what may. the players that look relaxed and are revelling in the outer because there is a genuine belief that they can win this tournament. it's been a very long time since england have managed to win a men's major tournament. you have to go back to the world cup of 1966. the fans and the world cup of 1966. the fans and the players believe and i'm sure that they southgate believes as well. but need to win to start, just as spain and italy have done and they would love to get that against serbia later. they would love to get that against serbia later-— they would love to get that against serbia later. what do security like?
