It means pubs, bars and other community venues around Mansfield and Ashfield will be packed out as locals gather this summer to cheer on England.
We all hope 60 years of pain will finally be ended with an England triump in America.
Here we’ve delved into our archives to look back at how supporters in the town cheered on the Three Lions in previous competitions.
Our gallery features a variety of pictures from 2002 to 2010 – so have a look through to see if you can spot any familiar faces, or maybe yourself?
