No more flying pints, no more memes, no more inflatable unicorns. Football wasn’t coming home. The impossible dream - winning the World Cup - was finally over. 
Croatia came from behind to inflict an agonising defeat on England in extra-time and advance to the final where they would eventually lose to France.
For 63 minutes The Three Lions were in the final, Slabhead and all. A downpour of beer covered moshing England fans as Kieran Trippier’s free-kick found the back of the net in the fifth minute.
“I feel confident, do you mind if I take it?,” the Bury Beckham asked Ashley Young moments before whipping it over the wall and past Danijel Subasic.
It shoulda, woulda, coulda been 2-0 if Harry Kane had slotted past Subasic in the 30th minute. Or passed to Raheem Sterling in a better position. Instead, he missed. Twice. Oh Harry.
As England faded, Croatia grew stronger. Ivan Perisic equalised in the 68th minute before Mario Mandzukic struck the killer blow in extra-time. 
Unfancied before the competition, England defied expectations by reaching the semi-finals. They may not have won, but Gareth Southgate’s team made the nation believe.
“People don’t talk to me about a particular moment or result, they talk about how they felt, the connection with the team and the pride,” said the manager.
Dust off your waistcoat. Euro 2021 here we come.
