England<\/a> are in a World Cup<\/a> semi-final once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Lions face Argentina<\/a> for a chance to reach the 2026 World Cup Final, where they would face France. England haven’t been in a World Cup final since 1966, when they won the competition. But this will be their fourth semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s only been eight years (and two World Cups) since England reached the final four, then ending a 28-year wait. Gareth Southgate led his side on a dream run, just four years on from their group-stage exit in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatia<\/a> were the opponents and England took an early lead. But they eventually fell away, losing on penalties. It became a moment of what if, something that would follow England under Southgate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is, can you remember every player to play in that semi-final? For both England and Croatia, starters and used subs? Test your knowledge below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
