An England supporter has spent his ÂŁ40,000 house deposit to take his father to watch the Three Lions "win the World Cup".
Jack Goodwin, from Chichester, West Sussex, said he had booked hotels, flights and tickets to every match England could play until the final in New Jersey, USA, on 19 July.
He has spent about ÂŁ4,000 on a ticket to the final, describing the trip as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
"We're going to see us bring the World Cup title home," the 34-year-old added.
Speaking ahead of England's first knockout game against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Goodwin said: "We're going to beat them 4-0."
He described the potential of playing Mexico in the Azteca on Sunday as the "dream game of all games" and the "creme de la creme".
The Stoke City supporter said that he was "sweating" when Panama held the Three Lions to a 0-0 draw at half-time in their final group game.
"We were nervous because we got all our tickets through the FIFA ballot," he said.
"If we didn't top the group, all of our tickets would have become invalid."
Explaining how he had funded the trip, Goodwin said that his tickets were all at face value but were still "mega expensive".
"I saved up for a house, and I blew my whole house deposit taking me and my dad out," he said.
He said that he spent "a good ÂŁ40,000".
"I've got no kids, I've got no wife, so why not? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said.
