England football players and their manager have an opportunity to achieve sporting immortality tomorrow as they aim to reach the 2018 FIFA World Cup final.
The Three Lions are just one game away from their first final since 1966, with Croatia standing between them and a showpiece against France, who beat Belgium 1-0 this morning in the first semi-final.
The names of Sir Alf Ramsey and his players ‑ still the only 11 Englishmen to play in a World Cup final ‑ will be recalled forever and their stories told whenever the nation's landmark moments in sport are revisited.
This is the level of prize and prestige on offer in Moscow for a team given little hope of progressing past the quarter‑finals before the tournament began.
Now England's manager and his players can earn the chance to make themselves immortals.
This is a proud nation and a proud football team, and to reach a World Cup final would represent a truly remarkable story.
If England can find a way to subdue Croatia’s Luka Modric and Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic they will take a large step towards the final.
The second semi-final between England and Croatia will start at 6am tomorrow.
