Another win, another goal drawn from a set piece for Gareth Southgate’s big brave boys.
Sure, we’ve been helped along by weird bouts of GBH in the box, but England’s routines have given them more attempts on goal than any other World Cup side.
But what’s the source of England’s newfound know-how? Germany, Spain and, strangely enough, American football.
"When we analysed Spain and Germany in particular, they were probably better at set-plays than the perception might have been," Southgate told the BBC Radio 5 live’s World Cup Daily Podcast.
"They were a bigger factor in them winning than maybe people realised."
"Set-plays are a high percentage of goals scored and goals conceded. In tournaments that seems to become even more important.
"Both Spain and Germany play fabulous football but when you looked at how many set-play goals they'd scored - or in Spain's case, how few they'd conceded - that was definitely a key part of them being successful."
Gareth Southgate also revealed that he attended two Super Bowls and watched the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks with England coach Allan Russell to study their tactics.
"You're always learning and we had the chance to interact with lots of different coaches," Southgate said.
"Some that travelled out went into think tanks on various different issues on managing people and leadership and detail within games.
"You're always trying to bring new ideas to your team and new ways of thinking, and anything that can possibly add to what you're delivering."
Harry Kane said that Russell’s set-piece advice had been making the difference in training.
"Allan has an attention to detail that I liked and thought it was something we hadn't necessarily put some additional focus on in the past," Southgate added.
"He's become an important part of our coaching team and our whole support staff. We won't have success in this tournament without every department in our staff doing their job to the highest possible level."
