The day it ever so nearly happened...

Every supporter of the English men's national team remembers the 11th of July 2018 as if it were yesterday.

From Kieran Trippier's unstoppable 6th minute free-kick, to the heartbreak of defeat in extra-time, fans experienced every emotion under the sun over an agonising 120 minutes of football between Croatia and the Three Lions.

For thousands — those not old enough to remember Italia 1990, or 1966— it was the furthest they'd ever seen a men's England side go at a World Cup, by some distance.

But, aside from those big moments, how well do you remember the monumental day, and more importantly, the players that made it happen.

Below you'll find TWO quizzes, where you'll be asked to name the 22 players that represented England and Croatia respectively.

To be generous, while in the England edition you're only permitted four minutes to name every player, in the case of the Croatians, we've given out an extra three minutes, adding up to seven in total, and eleven minutes across the two quizzes.

Best of luck...
