Millions of Three Lions fans have already packed pubs and are poised on their sofas ahead of England taking on the USA at 7pm tonight.
Supporters are hoping for an emphatic scoreline like Iran's 6-2 thrashing that would see Gareth Southgate's men qualify a game early for the knockout stages.
But Harry Kane face an American side featuring Premier League players including Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams - not to mention the son of former PSG and AC Milan striker George Weah.
Excitement was building throughout the country as pubs were packed by fans who had either bunked or convinced kind bosses they could go early.
