But any seasoned fan will know that official kit can come with a hefty price tag – well unless you head to JD Sports.

England fans are scrambling to get their hands on the Score Draw England ’82 World Cup Retro Home Shirt which is available for just £6 rather than the RRP of £40.
One lucky shopper noticed the bargain online and snapped a short up immediately for himself before sharing the bargain on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK.
He wrote: “Just got mine! Bargain at £6 🔥It’s coming home 😏”
However, many fellow bargain hunters were left disappointed after realising that there was a small catch – you have to be a JDX member to access the discount.
Commenting on the post, one wrote: “Coming up full price for me.”
Another disappointed customer added: “Full price here.”
However, those who are JDX members will be able to access the bargain, with several group members thanking the bargain hunter for the tip.
Tonight will see England’s first Euro match as they take on Serbia in Gelsenkirchen at 8pm.
SunSport revealed yesterday that Bukayo Saka was set to start for England in Gelsenkirchen after winning a fitness battle.
The full expected line up will also feature Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield, Marc Guehi in centre-back and Phil Foden off the wing.
England and Serbia have only faced off once back when the latter competed as Serbia and Montenegro.
The two teams met in 2003 during an international friendly at the King Power Stadium.
The Three Lions won 2-1 thanks to goals by Steven Gerrard and Joe Cole, while Nenad Jestrovic temporarily equalised for his country.
England also hold a better record from back when Serbia competed as part of Yugoslavia.
The national team won five out of 14 matches, of which they lost four.

GARETH SOUTHGATE is under no illusions coming into this competition – it is win or bust.
The Three Lions have never had a better opportunity to end their 58-year wait for a major international trophy given the talent and experience they have in their armoury.
MANAGER: Gareth Southgate
The former England star has come closer than anyone since Sir Alf Ramsey to ending the Three Lions’ trophy hoodoo.
Southgate is aware that the nations expects, and has even suggested he will quit if he doesn’t deliver the European Championship.
STAR MAN: Jude Bellingham
The Real Madrid star is arguably the world’s best player at the moment and gives England the platform they need to dominate big games.
How England attack
England will look to dominate the ball against almost everybody.
Declan Rice is crucial in progressing the ball, Bellingham, Saka and Foden will rotate to pull defenders out of position and Kane can both score and drop deep to provide chances for others.
How England defend
England press man-to-man with the midfield pushing up to support Kane when the ball is lost and look to win it as close to the opposition goal as possible.
However, the left-back spot could be a cause for concern, particularly with Luke Shaw entering the tournament with fitness worries.
