BBC Newsbeat, reporting from west LondonI'm in Greenford in Ealing, home of England's star boy Bukayo Saka - and unsurprisingly, you don't have to go far to find a fan.
"He's such a light, he's such an inspiration," resident Daniel Bailey tells me.
"My son goes to the same school he would have been to and they're celebrating him every day.
"And every day - even though I'm a massive Liverpool fan - my son will always come back and talk about Saka."
He says it's been "absolutely amazing" for the town to have a local on the world stage and resident Makeda Burton agrees.
"He's such an inspiration for the kids," she says. "For everyone, really.
"It just goes to show how the youngsters of today can be resilient, how they can be mature and take pressure on the chin, and just get it done."

England captain Harry Kane has also responded to the concerns shown by many supporters and pundits alike regarding how deep Kane is positioned during matches.
"It's something I've got used to throughout my career," he replied.
"If you look over the last couple of major tournaments, there's always been at some stage question marks over my fitness or my form.
"I always say I want to score in every game, I want to try and help the team in every game from that sense, but also my role isn't just scoring goals. My role is a lot of work defensively, a lot of work without the ball, a lot of work in leadership."

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer in DortmundThere is a wave of orange heading towards the Westfalenstadion ahead of tonight's Euro 2024 semi-final between England and the Netherlands.
Traffic is already heavy around the stadium, an overwhelming number packed with Dutch fans who have made the journey by road.
And orange shirts are making a splash of colour more than three hours before kick-off. England fans are also in evidence but they are currently heavily outnumbered.
There will be some atmosphere in here tonight - and already some very heavy clouds overhead.

BBC Newsbeat, reporting from WembleyThey might call it soccer rather than football and for Australian fans Zac Lassey and Pat Johnston that might not be the only thing dividing us ahead of kick off.
"I want the Netherlands to win," says Pat, acknowledging "it might not end too well" for him to say that - not just because he's standing outside Wembley but because Zac is proudly sporting his England shirt.
It's the first time the duo from Melbourne have visited Europe but they've made the most of it, watching in Germany when the Netherlands took on Austria and Spain played Georgia before heading to London.
As they get ready to watch the game, they have one thing to say to the Three Lions: "Don't stuff it again!"

BBC News in DortmundThe number of Netherlands fans was expected to be highdue, in part, to the fact that Dortmund in west Germany is just a short driveaway.
But their huge presence - estimated at between 80,000 and 100,000 - has perhaps surpassed expectations.
Talking toDutch fans they say it’s down, in part, to geography. But combined with that istoday’s good weather plus the start of school of holidays. And, of course, thesignificance of the match itself. The Netherlands hasn’t reached a Euro’s semifinal in 20 years.
Theaward for sharpest Dutch dressers so far might have to go to brothers Tim &Niels.
They are avid fans of the Netherlands national teams and have turnedup at games in this attire before.

BBC Newsbeat sports reporter in LiverpoolExcitement is building here in Liverpool and Newsbeat is talking to fans about footballers who know this city.
Lewis, 27, is a huge Liverpool fan and hopes to see Trent Alexander- Arnold get on the pitch tonight.
He said: "Virgil Van Dijk is arguably one of the best defenders in the world and Cody Gapko has been unbelievable for the Netherlands. That’s the big worry for me."
Chloe, 24, supports Everton and can’t wait to see Jordan Pickford play.
She says she’s not threatened by Netherland’s manager Ronald Koeman as "he did nothing at Everton".
Normally, Chloe and Lewis would be footballing rivals, but not today.

Despite England supporters being heavily outnumbered by the Dutch onthe streets, the atmosphere is still “awesome” and the Dutch fans are “reallyfriendly”, they tell me.

BBC Sport in Dortmund, GermanyGranted it’s what we’re paid to do but it’s hard to describe the scenes in here.
A sea of colour, wave after wave of orange.
An estimated 80,000 Netherlands supporters were expected - we may need a recount.
We’re currently outside a hotel where the famous Orange Bus is orchestrating the masses. Music pumps from loud speakers, former captain Wesley Sneijder stands on top of the double decker vehicle - assuming the role of conductor.
We haven’t moved in 10 or so minutes. Impossible to even see a way back out to the calm. The hotel we’re leant up against the windows are shaking.
Even some English fans watch on in awe. One telling us “we just had to see this.”
It’s likely we’ll need Lamine Yamal type footwork to make it happen…advantage The Netherlands.

Well that was a fun trip down memory lane looking back at England's 4-1 win over the Netherlands at Euro 1996.
Let's now turn our attention back on to tonight's semi-final in Dortmund.
'I will have perhaps another cup of tea tonight and enjoy the win'published at 15:50 10 July

FT: Netherlands 1-4 England (1996)
"There was very little that didn't please me", said England manager Terry Venables, who praised his team's movement and teamwork after their 4-1 victory over the Netherlands at Euro 96.
He added: "I have said for a long while that if we do the things right we are better than perhaps we think we are.
"In saying all of that it doesn't make us a great team. It takes us into the quarter-finals and I will have perhaps another cup of tea tonight and enjoy the win and tomorrow we have got to get back to business."
He gave a wry smile when he mentioned a celebratory "cup of tea".
Well we can all now raise our brews to Terry - despite what he said, he did produce a great team.

This was the last time the two countries have played each other in a major tournament.
We think we can work out what generation you are from how well you remember this game:
1. "Shouldn't have conceded a sloppy consolation" = Baby Boomer
2. "One of the greatest England performances ever" = Generation X
3. "I've seen the Sheringham to Shearer goal on YouTube highlights" = Millennials
4. "So that pundit Shearer was actually pretty good!" = Generation Z

As Barry Davies announced the attendance of more than 76,000, he remarked: "It is one of those occasions where people will look back on and say 'I was happy I was there'."
I wonder if he could have imagined we would still be reminiscing about, listening to his commentary and reliving the scenes all of these years later?
