After beating the mighty Costa Rica 2-0, England fans are again dreaming of their first World Cup glory since 1966.

Gareth Southgate's side kick off their campaign on Monday, June 18 against Tunisia, but if you're not near a TV on the night, fear not, as you can watch the opening match online. (Well, as long as you have a TV licence.)
