Is it one step closer to "coming home"?

Francis is in Moscow; first a visit to the stadium to take in the flavour of high stakes international football then back to a suburban restaurant near Yugo-Zapadaya metro station to watch the game on a grainy TV.

It's over to Max Rushden's London place for a BBQ and pub-patron-free viewing of the quarter final that could get England one step closer to "bringing it home".

Francis leaves Russia looking for the England football fans.

He's in London confused by his own English football team antipathy. Lucky he's found a sympathetic ear in Daniel Norcross, BBC Test Match Special and ESPNCricinfo.

Tony's ditched the Northcote closet for ropey electricity in Red Hill.

And Tony files a report from a closet in Northcote.

Tony was shaken out of his World Cup reverie by bad news from Sochi.

Peter Dawson, Socceroos tragic, died on the day of the Peru game in Sochi.

He was a football fanatic, inseperable from brother Mark and was never going to miss a World Cup.

Rest in peace.
