Ahead of their clash with Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final, the England squad have shared what music they listen to while training in camp.
The players shared what songs they listen to to get in the zone so to speak.
Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer who came off the subs bench to set up Ollie Watkins’ winning goal against The Netherlands in their semi final win, revealed that he listens to Lil Baby track ‘Choppa’.
Ezri Konsa and Bukayo Saka have revealed that they currently listen to Tems’ ‘Love Me Jeje’, with Saka describing it as “such a vibe’.
When asked if he listens to the track pre match, Arsenal’s Saka who scored in the quarter final against Switzerland, responded: “Listening to it pretty much every day”.
‘Phil Foden’s On Fire’
This tournament has also seen England fans conjure up a new chant for Phil Foden, named ‘Phil Foden’s On Fire’, which is a play on Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing In The Dark’.
“I think I’ve got that on repeat, it’s stuck in my head. Every time I turn up to the stadium and hear it, it’s, yeah a surreal moment”, the Manchester City star said.
“I’ll give you the one that I’ve been listening to on the bus. It’s called ‘Yamore’ [by Moblack]. It’s house as well. I love house music, I love the feeling of it”, Foden’s Man City and England team mate John Stones added.
Eberechi Eze said he listens to ‘Last Heartbreak Song’ from Ayra Starr and Giveon. Ivan Toney also named ‘Million Dollar Baby’ from Tommy Richman as his go to tune.
England defender Kieran Tripper also aimed a slight dig at the music taste of one team mate in particular, in the form of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
According to Tripper, Pickford’s choice of music is not quite as impressive as his ability to save penalties. Pickford’s crucial spot kick save in the quarter final shootout against Switzerland was key to England advancing to the semi final.
“I’m not even in charge of the music but there is one song that [Jordan] Pickford puts on”, he said. “He’s into rave music, Pickford. Pickford’s music is horrendous”.
Other Pickford tracks can be found scattered across his social media accounts, including tracks from Bastlle to John Legend, as well as Lucy Spraggan’s ‘Tea And Toast’, The Courteeners ‘Not Nineteen Forever’, Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Castle On The Hill’, Kanye West‘s ‘All Of The Lights’, and more.
Ahead of Sunday’s final, London’s O2 Arena announced it will host the “biggest screening” of England’s clash with Spain. Find out more here.
