Even Justin Timberlake thinks football is coming home!
England face Croatia on Wednesday in their first World Cup semi-final since 1990, looking to reach the final for the first time since 1966.
The Three Lions will face either Belgium or France in the showpiece if they are able to beat Croatia, who have been forced to endure two successive penalty shootouts, against Denmark and hosts Russia.
Football fever, as such, is sweeping the nation, with the 1996 anthem Three Lions, by comedians David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and band The Lightning Seeds , yet again a chart-topping hit.
