FOOTBALL fans hoping to watch England's crucial game against Croatia this evening can watch it for free at a cinema in Bracknell.

ODEON, in Skimped Hill Lane, will be showing the semi-final crunch match on a big screen from 6.30pm tonight (Wednesday).

Fans can escape the hot weather in the fully air-conditioned cinema screen, and tuck into a bag of popcorn while cheering Gareth Southgate's Three Lions to potential victory.

Bracknell is one of only 10 ODEON cinemas in the UK which will be screening the match tonight, but it was not clear at the time of going to print whether plans were in place to show the final on Sunday if England were to bag a place in the last two.

Tickets for the screening are free, and can only be collected from the cinema on the day. For more details visit www.odeon.co.uk/film/2018/world-cup
