Thomas Tuchel's side were serenaded by thousands of fans in Dallas with a rendition of Wonderwall and, quite frankly, it's enough to make you wonder if it is really coming home after all.

This brought us all back to last summer, when hundreds of thousands of people came together across five nights at Heaton Park to celebrate the Oasis reunion.

Like music, football has the power to bring us all together.

At a time when the world is a bit of a political mess, it’s great to see and hear the power of music and football combined.

Who knows, in a few weeks' time, maybe the entire nation will be singing Wonderwall to celebrate England’s first World Cup trophy since 1966.

Perhaps, it will finally overtake Sweet Caroline as our go to celebration song.

On the pitch...

England edged past Croatia in a pulsating contest in Dallas. Thomas Tuchel's side showed their attacking quality but also some defensive vulnerability, although they had enough firepower to finally see off Croatia and lay the foundations for progress in Group L.

Marcus Rashford, a player who has spent the season at Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, scored the fourth goal of the match to seal the win.
