The Duke of Cambridge issued a rallying call to the England team ahead of their upcoming game and said to reporters: “Come on England – it’s coming home!”
He added that a “new generation is enjoying the magic” of the tournament – and that the “whole country” is willing Gareth Southgate’s side on.
Prime Minister Theresa May has also been getting behind the team from a Nato summit in Brussels.
She said: “I met the Croatian Prime Minister yesterday and we exchanged football shirts.
“Gareth Southgate and the boys have done a fantastic job and I’m sure that they’re going to go on to do well and I just wish them all the very best of luck tonight.”
Up to 10,000 England fans are expected in Moscow for the nation’s first World Cup semi-final in 28 years.
