Thousands of England supporters have descended on Atlanta ahead of Wednesday's semi-final against defending champions Argentina.
The old rivals go head-to-head at the air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with superfan Gary Holliday expressing his optimism despite the odds.
Holliday, 46, from Birmingham, spent around £2,500 on a ticket for the match, and believes that England's Bellingham will be the key to their success.
'I've been chatting to the lads in the WhatsApp group and I'm mildly optimistic, to be honest,' Holliday said. 'If Bellingham turns up, I honestly don't think these are as good as, certainly what they think they are.'
Holliday also expressed his confidence in England's captain, Harry Kane, saying 'Kane has been off the boil for the last couple, I think he owes us a game as well.'
The superfan has taken a £550 risk by getting a tattoo of the England team's crest, and is now crossing his fingers for a victory.
