Defeating Sweden by 2-0 goals, the English football team now finds itself preparing for a World Cup semifinal for the first time in 28 years.
England fans have been claiming on social media that football is "coming home," the chorus of the country's favorite football song titled "Three Lions," written when England hosted the European Championships in 1996 and reached the semifinals.

England reached the World Cup finals only once before, back in 1966 when they hosted and won the Fifa World Cup.
