13 things we loved on day 20: England, England, England & England

Tottenham, Everton and Manchester United players all grabbed our attention on day 20 of the World Cup.

England won their first knockout match for 12 years and their first World Cup penalty shootout ever against Colombia on Tuesday, and will face Sweden, who beat Switzerland 1-0, in the quarter-finals.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch from day 20 of this fascinating World Cup.

Imagine having the nerve. We wouldn’t.

Jordan Pickford
