Birthday boy Trevoh Chalobah is hoping to see in his 18th year in style with Euro glory as he prepares to face the Dutch in Tbilisi.
The Chelsea defender was presented with balloons, a card and presents from the England U19s' squad and staff at breakfast on Wednesday morning.
As a footballer born in July, he's grown used to being away on pre-season training camps for his birthday but silverware being up for grabs in Georgia gives this particular occasion an extra edge.
After a 2-0 opening victory over Bulgaria, the Netherlands, who started the tournament with a stunning 4-1 win against Germany, are next up for the Young Lions.
It will be familiar opposition for Chalobah too, having made his U19s debut against the Oranje during a 1-1 draw at AFC Telford last September.
"A lot of the players from my debut against the Netherlands won't be playing at this tournament but we still expect it to be another tough game," said the towering teenager.
"I think when you see any team win 4-1 it comes as a bit of a shock but we just have to be ready and focus on what we need to do.
"Reflecting on that game in September, it's important that we keep the ball better. We've learned that from our first game out here too, particularly in this heat, it's going to be important to keep the ball more.
"It was vital for us to get three points out of the first game. The weather was really hot so we'll also have to manage that in our next game."
Chalobah's appearance against Bulgaria saw him chalk up his 11th U19s cap lifting his overall Young Lions tally to 30 after previous experiences with the U16 and U17 age groups.
However, that's still some way off his older brother Nathaniel who emotionally signed off from youth international duty with his 97th cap during last month's U21 Euro semi-final defeat to Germany on penalties.
In the aftermath of that painful defeat, Chalobah Snr, another Chelsea starlet, took to Twitter to express his patriotic pride by saying: "If anybody wants to know why I've got so many caps it's simple: I never turned down the opportunity to wear the badge with honour and pride! Didn't matter where we were playing or who the opponent was, it's been a great journey and one I'll treasure."
So it comes as no surprise that the latest Chalobah brother to rise through the England ranks has the same attitude.
"I'm really proud of my brother and that's something that I want to do. I hope I beat his record appearances as well," he said, adding a smile.
"Pulling on that shirt and playing for your country is the most important thing and it should be the proudest moment for any player. Obviously there's players out there that want to be in our position so it's important that we take our chance.
"Seeing this year how much the England teams are improving from age to age - with the U20s winning, the U17s getting to the final and the U21s getting to the semis - it's a boost to our confidence.
"England teams are getting better and we just need to carry that on."
