When the Three Lions won the semi-final match, England supporters at the O2 Arena in London were treated to a memorable moment of celebration.
We've all been there before, when intentions go awry and you realise you've made due arrangements that fight with a great football match.
England supporters who had purchased tickets months prior to The Killers ' performance at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday night, knowing they would miss out on the Three Lionss Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands, did the same.
But, after 90 minutes of followers anxiously checking their apps throughout the job, the Las Vegas channel, just like Gareth Southgate's team, gave fans a time they will never forget.
" I can see your phones", star Brandon Plants told the audience with the match delicately poised with less than ten minutes to come. " Is it still 1-1? That's strong. Maybe we can lessen your anxiety", he added before playing A Dustland Fairytale.
As they played that beat, Ollie Watkins was scoring his 91st-minute success in Dortmund and at the end of the music the realization of the match was broadcast on the big screen, giving fans the chance to get in the moment that England booked in their first-ever big tournament final on foreign land.
And then the party started.

Red and white streamers were launched into Mr. Brightside, the band's iconic signature song, while drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr wore an England kit as the audience was already enthralled.
The 2003 hit is one of the most popular rock songs in recent years, with Spotify confirming last year that it was the most streamed song in the country's history and providing a fitting soundtrack for what was an ominous celebration in the east London venue.
Watkins ' injury-time goal was the latest in a trilogy of late, late England shows, following on from Jude Bellingham's stoppage-time equaliser against Slovakia in the last-16 before Harry Kane's extra-time winner, while the Three Lions also came from behind to beat Switzerland on penalties in the quarters.

Xavi Simons had given the Netherlands an early lead in Dortmund with a superb long-range strike on seven minutes, before a disputed Harry Kane penalty levelled the score 11 minutes later.
The late victory was attributed to a double substitution in the 81st minute by Southgate, who had Watkins and Cole Palmer in the starting lineup.
England now face Spain in Sunday's final, but there wo n't be any schedule clashes at the O2 this time, as the venue will be putting on a screening of the match, with tickets available by a free public ballot.
