Stars of the entertainment world are sharing their excitement about England’s World Cup chances as the team continue through the competition.
The national team won 6-1 against Panama in Russia last week (June 24), with a hat-trick from Harry Kane, two goals from John Stones, and another from Jesse Lingard, before losing 1-0 to Belgium in their final group match (June 28).
On Tuesday (July 3), they beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties, while today (July 7) they marched on to the semi-finals, emerging victorious against Sweden with two goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli. England will now face either Croatia or Russia in the semi-finals. France and Belgium will square up in the other semi-final for a chance to make it to the final.
Responding to the victory against Panama, Liam Gallagher tweeted the simple statement: “It’s coming home.” Wolf Alice, meanwhile, changed their name on Twitter to “Harry Kane the band.”
