The big one is here.
England look to reach the last four of the World Cup as they face Norway in the scorching heat in Miami.
The Three Lions have been on a brilliant run so far to reach the quarter-finals, beating Mexico in their last game 3-2 at the Azteca Stadium.
A heroic effort from England, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, has boosted the confidence of the players and the nation.
Speaking ahead of tonight's game, England boss Thomas Tuchel said: "I think we took a big step in our last match, but it was only a step.
"We're still hungry, we still have dreams, and we still have a big goal to play for. The next step is to win the quarter-final."
Whether you're joining us at home, in the pub or on the go, strap yourself in.
With kick-off scheduled for 10pm, follow along for updates throughout the night.

Danny Murphy backs England to beat Norway 3-1
Former England footballer Danny Murphy has backed England to beat Norway tonight 3-1.
Murphy thinks the Three Lions "can go all the way" in the World Cup and find a way against expected opponents Argentina, should both sides win.
"I can see the confidence growing. There's a resilience and togetherness about this group that you need to win tournaments. As I see it now, I think England will get to the final.
"Argentina have shown in the last two games that they're vulnerable defensively and I think England can beat them. Then, if it's France or Spain in the final, when you've got 22 top-quality players on the pitch, it often comes down to who performs on the day.
"France would be difficult, Spain would be difficult, but I genuinely think England can get there."

Kick-off at risk of being delayed
Not to dampen the mood, but kick-off may be pushed back.
Southern Florida is seeing temperatures rise to 32C, with it not expected to drop till at least 8pm local time.
FifPro, the global representative for professional footballers, advises that games should be delayed or postponed until the local temperature is at or below 28C.
The Three Lions' last match was pushed back by an hour; touch wood, we are safe tonight.
John Stones expected to start with Ezri Konsa at right-back
Somewhat surprising news as John Stones is expected to start at centre-back alongside Marc Guehi, with Ezri Konsa at right-back.
The pair, who know Erling Haaland all too well, will partner, with Nico O'Reilly expected to start at left-back.
The decision may come as a little bit of a surprise given Konsa's strong history in dealing with Haaland, only conceding once to the Norwegian in five games back in 2022.
There had been speculation as to whether Dan Burn would start given his incredible contribution in England's last-16 clash, but the Newcastle defender will have to settle for the bench.
Interesting decision expected by Tuchel; full line-up confirmation in just under an hour.
