With France waiting on the others side, England gave Les Bleus something to think about early. Less than five minutes into Three Lions' match against Croatia, Kieran Trippier opened the scoring with an absolutely gorgeous free kick strike over an insanely wide Croatian wall.
The goal found the top corner of the net with relative ease.
DREAM START FOR ENGLAND!

You won't see a fan base more rabid than this one for a title. It's been 42 years since England brought the World Cup "home." The entire country seems to be shut down for a watch party. And with Trippier's early goal, don't expect the party to die down any time soon.
