Boris Johnson had just turned two and was living in Washington when England last played in a major soccer final, beating West Germany to lift the World Cup in the summer of 1966.
Today the kid with unruly blond hair is Britain’s prime minister, a man with a track record of taking risky bets, including Brexit. He may not be that keen on football, as the game is called in the country that invented it, but he’s happy to wrap himself in the English flag now that the national team has at last reached another showpiece final.

France cut off shipments from the port in southeast England on Sunday because of concern over a faster-spreading variant of Covid-19 that prompted the U.K. government to lock down London and surrounding areas.
