After 28 years of waiting, England managed to go to Semifinals of the World Cup beating Swedish side 2-0. The history is in making for the 3 lions fans world wide who have already started the slogan "Its coming home". England was clinical today and played very good all round game to reach the semifinal. Harry Maguire and Dele Alli scored a goal each for England. Jordan Pickford was excellent again making many fantastic saves.

Before 28 years, England reached the semifinals by defeating Cameroon 3-2 in the quarter-finals and face West Germany in semifinals. Most of us remember this game as England lost to German in Penalty shoot out and finished fourth, while Germany won the world cup defeating Argentina. Now, England is again closest to the World Cup trophy and will face the winner of Russia and Croatia. 

The game was fairly balanced, with England dominating the posession. Sweden did create a lot of opportunities but they failed to convert those and Pickford was brilliant through out the match as he made 3 great saves to keep England in game. Maguire headed the ball in 30th minute to give England the valuable lead. Maguire showed why he is brilliant player in set-pieces with his wonderful header. Dele Alli had been silent through out the matches and did go unnoticed but he shone when the moment came with a headed goal assisted by Lingard in 58th minute to secure victory for England. 

Can this team make history going into finals for second time in their history and for first time after 1966 when they won it?
