How the roads cleared during the Sweden game...
Rush hour is expected to hit earlier than usual today as England fans race to get home in time for the World Cup semi-final.
The RAC predicted that roads would be extra busy at 17:00 BST, NOW, and that they would be "dead" by kick-off.
Meanwhile, train firms Southern and Great Northern expect afternoon services to be extremely busy.
The AA predicts that millions of people will be going home early this evening and, by 19:00, roads will be "much quieter than on Christmas Day".

It's 28 years since England were last in a World Cup semi-final. Pre internet, pre text message even.
A whole different world.
The pain is still there though. If you were around to witness it, you'll know what could lay ahead for England fans...

One day, any day now, we're all going to wake up from a mass hysteria that has swept England. Either that or we are living in a Black Mirror episode.
It's the only logical explanation.
It hasn't rained for a month. And I live in Manchester.

I've had a fan on in my bedroom, 24 hours a day, for about three weeks.
And still England have stayed in the World Cup.
They should have been home weeks ago. Right?
People are dressing up their dogs.
People are wearing waistcoats to work. My dad knows who Gareth Southgate is.
Madness, at every turn.

An ex-Hull defender nicknamed 'slabhead' has charmed the enraptured nation.
'Three Lions' is back in the charts, back as the unofficial anthem, an earworm which started the summer as a self deprecating chant and has now become an ethos.

It's coming home?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But considering when we made this video just four short weeks ago we were all in on the joke, now nobody's really laughing are they?
Your Majesty, get practicing your dab. It's time for the semi-final...
