As it stand, it's looking more 'It's coming home' than 'They're going home' and you have to give England fans at least one game to savour in tournament football.
In this morning's OTB AM, we go through all of this morning's papers - dominated as they are by Harry Kane's double for England in Volgograd Stadium yesterday evening. Were England chronic, or is this exactly the kind of result that a team needs?
John Duggan joins us on Day 5 of his Russian expedition, and will give us the lowdown on Poland-Senegal, which he will be at later today. John will also tell us about the England fans, whether Salah will likely feature for Egypt and the beautifully World Cup fixture of Colombia-Japan.
On the morning after Derek McGrath's resignation from Waterford, Shane Stapleton joins us in studio to discuss the potential effect of his leaving the county. We'll ask about his legacy and who could be next for the Deise.
All that and more on this morning's OTB AM, and as usual you can get your comments and thoughts into us on Facebook by following Off The Ball.
