Football didn’t come home, but what a summer 2018 was for England fans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the World Cup in Russia, expectations were relatively low, perhaps for the first time in decades following the disaster in 2014 and some uncertainty about Gareth Southgate’s credentials.<\/p>\n

The main hope was for England to get past the last-16, something they hadn’t done since 2002, with anything further than that a bonus.<\/p>\n

That was achieved with large slice of drama, as England won a World Cup shootout for the first time ever, and the Three Lions marched on to the semi-finals (a first since 1990).<\/p>\n

The journey would be ended by Croatia in devastating fashion and England also fell to Belgium in the third-placed play-off, but for many the magic and memories of what happened before will last.<\/p>\n

But can you name the 23-man squad Southgate took to Russia, to carry England fans on that emotional journey? We’ve given you three minutes to do your best, without cheating.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
