World Cup fever has officially hit England now, as many people are coming round to the belief that we might (dare we say it) do well this time around

The next one of those is against Sweden at 3pm on Saturday. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It’ll be at Samara Arena, which holds a capacity of over 41,000
Samara is a city in south-west Russia, and is about 190 miles away from Kazan. The monthly average for July in this part of the country sees is between 24c and 12c
According to AccuWeather, however, the game on Saturday is going to be particularly warm
The England squad will be looking at temperatures of between 28c and lows of 16c
Cloud cover will be consistent throughout the day, which will hopefully bring down that burning hot feel
There’s likely not going to be any rain, and fans who go on to celebrate after the game can expect clear skies
Five games have so far been played at the stadium, and while temperatures have been very warm, the footballers seem to be taking it on the chin
Hopefully the heat won’t get the better of England on Saturday, so let’s all hope for those overcast skies to stay in place and bring a bit of relief
