Weekend Hot Clicks: England Fans Are Not Joking About This World Cup
England Fans Like Their Football
Fans weren't taking any chances on missing the biggest match their country has played in the World Cup in a long time. And their support paid off — The Three Lions are through to the semifinals for the first time since 1990.
While the atmosphere in Russia was strong for the English, it was even more so across the country.
Fans found ways to watch the game at summer weddings.

And they clearly enjoyed what they were seeing at the watch parties.
England is one step closer to bringing football home.

Williams' latest upload is of her daughter at Wimbledon where mom is looking for her eighth title.
