After reaching the stage as hosts in 1966, and then in Italy and Russia in 1990 and 2018, England have another World Cup semi-final to prepare for.
When French referee Clement Turpin signalled the end of an incident-filled quarter-final win in Miami, Thomas Tuchel's exhausted players sank to their knees in celebration after being taken to extra-time by Norway.
England's fans danced in the stands, two-goal Jude Bellingham accidentally clashed heads with Jordan Pickford during the on-pitch celebrations, while captain Harry Kane lined up with his team-mates to acknowledge the thousands of fans who had made the long journey to Florida.
Yet Tuchel was far from impressed.
"We got lucky," he said after a quarter-final that saw Norway take the lead, miss a great chance to make it 2-0, have a goal disallowed and also hit the bar.
