Harry Redknapp on supporting 'all home nations' at Euro 2020
Jose Mourinho has expressed his concern over England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford ahead of Sunday's Euro 2020 final against Italy. The Everton goalkeeper has enjoyed a phenomenal tournament but suffered a few nervy moments against Denmark on Wednesday.
Pickford is a sure starter at Wembley Stadium this weekend after repaying Gareth Southgate's faith in him at Euro 2020.
The 27-year-old is already confirmed to win the Golden Glove after keeping five clean sheets in six games this summer.
Mikkel Damsgaard's stunning free-kick in Wednesday's semi-final was the only goal he's conceded all tournament.
However, for the first time this summer, he endured a few dodgy moments that luckily didn't cost his team as they roared onto a 2-1 win after extra time.

Mourinho was all praise for Italy's defence and notably spoke highly of Roberto Mancini's starting centre-backs, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.
"I told Rashford after the game [Juventus vs Manchester United] that these two centre-backs should go to university to teach," Mourinho explained.
"You don't see many centre-backs like this now. They prefer to have a target man and not the ones attacking the lines like Sterling.
"Mancini did a good job not just tactically but with the group and mentality.
"As positive as England is and the waiting, Italy are pretty confident."
