It feels like an eternity since our last summer football tournament. Since then, England has turned to a German coach to try and bring us glory, and he literally has one job. Win us the World Cup.

Can he do it? Well, the only way to find out is to watch all the live games at The Woolpack. We will have our usual stadium atmosphere, with games screened across the pub, garden, Loft, and maybe even in The Barn!

All our plans will be revealed nearer the time, but in the meantime, here are the dates for your diary!

ENGLAND vs CROATIA
Wed 17 June 9pm

ENGLAND vs GHANA
Tue 23 June 9pm

ENGLAND vs PANAMA
Sat 27 June 10pm

Assuming England and all other “Pot A” seeded teams win their groups (except Canada, who will likely struggle with Switzerland and possibly Italy in their group) and the first round of knockout matches, this is how the route to the final will pan out:

ROUND OF 32
vs a Third-Placed Side
Wed 1 Jul 5pm

ROUND OF 16
vs Mexico (in Mexico)
Mon 6 Jul 3am *

QUARTER-FINAL
vs Brazil
Sat 11 Jul 10pm

SEMI-FINAL
vs Argentina / Portugal
Wed 15 Jul 8pm

FINAL
vs Spain / France
Sun 19 Jul 8pm

The schedule has been deliberately set to create the potential semi-finals of France v Spain and England v Argentina (assuming all win their groups), but along the way, we should also get a mouthwatering tie of Germany v France in the Round of 16 on Saturday, 4th at 10pm.

* It’s most likely that we will not be open for this game due to the kick-off time.
