England won the World Cup once, you know. You might have heard the English people mention it once or twice over the years. But this year, at the Russian World Cup 2018, it's the year. It's the year football's coming home.
Let's be honest: we never thought it'd get this far. But, as the wins kept on rolling in, the giants of the game fell left and right and all those ironic 'it's coming home memes' actually started to feel real, the all-new England squad somehow made it into the final four.
Essentially, it's Russia 2018 and anything can happen.
This evening's match between Croatia and England – which will decide which team will be joining France in the final – is sure to deliver as horrifically a nail-biting 90+ minutes of football as each of England's previous showdowns so far.
To get you in the mood, we've complied a playlist of the finest England football songs from throughout the ages, from John Barnes' infamous rap in New Order's World In Motion, to that unforgettable union between Echo & The Bunnymen and The Spice Girls. They were just more innocent times, weren't they?
Also, anyone who says Vindaloo isn't a football song gets an instant red card. Blow that whistle, ref – we're off!
