This, as England exceeded expectations to book a semifinal clash against Croatia.  

It's their first appearance in a World Cup last-4 since 1990 . 

Henderson says the team wants to make their own history:

"It's a massive game for us but there's no need to make it bigger than it is. We obviously take a lot of good things from the team in 1966 and what they achieved, but it was a long time ago. Not too many of us can remember that far back!"
