On July 11, England will face Croatia in a 2018 FIFA World Cup match which was preceded by the English footballers' foray into the tournament's semifinals after their 2-0 win over Sweden.

Births are expected to increase by ten percent in the next nine months in England, after the Three Lions made it to the semifinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, The Sun has reported. 

According to the newspaper, couples marked England's 2-0 win over Sweden "with extra time between their own sheets," something that may result in 5,000 more babies being born in nine months' time.
