England watchIf the nation couldn't quite believe that this England team could win the World Cup, they do now. England's clinical victory over Sweden saw them through to their first tournament semi-final since 1996. We'd like to say that plenty has changed since those days, but with the Tories in crisis, Three Lions looking set to top the singles charts and a nation rooting for a very nice man named Gareth, it all seems eerily familiar.
Back then England lost on penalties against Germany, when a very young Gareth Southgate bravely stepped up to take a penalty and missed. Now a redemption plot has been mapped out that feels like it has been crafted by a top Hollywood screenwriter. England have already won a penalty shootout in this tournament and Southgate's team has the chance to go one better than the boys of '96 and win a semi-final.
England are rated as the 1.68 favourites to do just that. To keep you busy until tomorrow night's match against Croatia, our roving reporter Ralph Ellis has taken a look back at the lessons of England's 1966 semi-final win over Portugal, while Rio Ferdinand has given his verdict on the chances of England winning the World Cup. Is it really coming home?
Stat of the dayBelgium won 4-3 the last time they met France, in a friendly in Paris in 2015.
You can back both France and Belgium to score at 1.89.
Who will win the World Cup?France are the 3.05 favourites lớn win the tournament and as they've got a tough semi-final opponent in Belgium, they can be expected lớn be pretty strong favourites should they progress tonight.
England are the narrow second favourites at 3.75, ahead of Belgium at 3.85, who would become the favourites to win the tournament if they can get past France. Meanwhile, perennial dark horses Croatia are lurking in the background at 6.60.
