England fans in Sittingbourne and Sheppey have been showing their support for Gareth Southgate's men as they prepare for their crunch semi-final match against Denmark tonight.
The Swale residents have sent in pictures of flags draped outside their homes, their patriotic pups or some group-watching selfies with England colours everywhere to be seen.
One home in Barton Hill Drive on the Isle of Sheppey was the perfect example, as home owners clearly thought why have one flag when you can have five?
With a different flag hanging out of every possible window the Minster residents weren't shy of backing the Three Lions.
They were, however, shown up by a cheeky neighbour who may have been born a short trip over the waters and decided to hang his very own tricolour - the national flag of Ireland - out of his second storey window.
Elsewhere on the Island, Matthew Seager was proudly hanging his flag in the aptly named Sterling Road, while Zoe Swarbrick of South Street, Queenborough, displayed four flags from her home including two from the main windows, one on the front door and one on the post box.
Roxanne Butcher kept the flag flying for Queenborough with her excellent display, which included a painted England flag on some stones in her garden, with a flag pole erected in the middle of it.
Just behind that on her house were four more flags, including a Queens Park Rangers themed one.
In Debnam Grove, Sittingbourne, the Duffield household kitted out the front and back of their house, including England bunting and flags scattered around the garden.
Gary Duffield was pictured in his blue England shirt while his two sausage dogs posed outside in the garden.
They weren't the only canine supporters in the town though, as nine-month old Max from Grayling Court was pictured in his 'Come On England' bandana, while one-year-old French Bulldog Sunni was snapped in his England gear.
Owner Lisa Major revealed the pup "loves watching the games".
