On this day in 2018, England were just 23 minutes away from reaching the World Cup final.
It all started so promisingly or England who took the lead through Kieran Trippier's wonderful fifth-minute free-kick but Ivan Perisic forced extra-time with Croatia's equaliser on 68 minutes.
Mario Mandzukic scored the goal that broke English hearts on 109 minutes as Croatia emulated their heroes of 1998 by securing their place in football's greatest game for the very first time.
From sheer elation to the ultimate heartbreak... the trophy may not have done so, but football certainly came home.
