It has been an overcast and intermittently drizzly day here in this city on the Rhine, but the sun is now peering through the clouds and it’s a pleasant temperature.

David James doesn't believe in jinxes

David James is on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

People who believe in any kind of superstition, or hate overconfidence, look away now.

He said: "The issue with Switzerland is goalkeeper Yann Sommer has had nine draws in his last 13 internationals.

"He is an expert on drawing but I think England will go through. I'm very confident.

"What happened at the end of England's game with Slovakia - not just the goals but also the reaction of the supporters and the players - is going to be the key for England's success."
