It's Coming Home, Sheffield!

Taken early during the England vs Italy match at the final of the Euro 2020 football tournament (staged in 2021 due to the covid-19 pandemic), this photo shows an empty main road in Sheffield with the expectant message "It's Coming Home, Sheffield." As the city which produced the world's first football clubs and codified the game, Sheffield can make a stronger claim than most to be the home of football. In the end, however it was not to be as Italy beat England on penalties.
