Showing his support for the team’s young players, Romeo opted to wear Foden’s 20, which is set to be sported by Manchester City’s 21-year-old ace during the game. 

While Sophie sizzled as she rocked nothing but a gold chain and held onto her ample assets for a glowing selfie shared to Instagram during the game.

Summer Monteys-Fullam also revealed that she was excitedly awaiting kick off as she posed up a storm in a white England T-shirt and held onto a ball.

The beauty put on a leggy display as she flaunted her toned pins and beamed a smile at the camera.  

Ahead of kick off, England players were booed by a section of fans as they took the knee ahead of their match against Croatia, despite impassioned pleas by the FA for support.

As was the case at the Riverside Stadium in England’s warm-up matches against Austria and Romania last week, some supporters made their feelings known with loud jeers echoing around Wembley, before they were drowned out by other supporters’ applause.  

The boos came despite the Football Association begging the 22,500 supporters to get behind the gesture, saying it is not ‘aligned to a political organisation or ideology’ but is an act of ‘unity and fighting against inequality’.  

There were also some cheers to be heard inside the stadium in north-west London, which helped to drown out the initial boos, clearly audible on BBC One where the game was being broadcast live to the nation.

Croatia’s players, meanwhile, opted to stand while England’s players knelt.

England had already made it clear they intended to take a knee before every one of their matches at the Euros and a video and statement released on the eve of their first game urged fans to support them.  

On Saturday, the England squad was seen rocking smart M&S suits for an official team photograph ahead of its first game.

Southgate appeared to have ditched his famous waistcoats for the Euro 2020 tournament after he sent sales of the garment soaring during the World Cup in 2018. 

Photographs of the team’s final pre-tournament photoshoot at St. George’s Park show the England stars as they are decked out in navy suits with striped ties.

It has also been a jam-packed weekend for Romeo, with the teen accompanying his girlfriend Mia Regan to his mother Victoria’s Dover Street store on Saturday, however he didn’t seem to be having such a fun time and was unable to hide his boredom.  

In a series of hilarious photos shared on Instagram by his mum, 47, Romeo could be seen with his head buried in his hands while Mia, 18, slipped into a variety of looks before the couple were seen on a stroll with his brother Cruz. 

Victoria hilariously captioned her post: ‘Having fun @romeobeckham?! Saturday shopping at 36 Dover Street with Mr Beckham and he is loving it. Kisses @mimimoocher love these looks on you!’
