Londoner and Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Christian Scotland-Williamson says England have inspired a generation with their performances at the World Cup in Japan.
And he is hopeful they will make the final and allow him to finally watch a game live.
The former Worcester lock quit rugby two years ago to switch to American Football, but still keeps a close eye on his old sport.
Due to the time difference in the United States, Scotland-Williamson has only watched the highlights of England's games so far and cannot view Saturday's semi-final with New Zealand live due to his practice with the Steelers.
But the 26-year-old from Waltham Forest insists anything can happen in Yokohama when Eddie Jones' side take on defending champions the All Blacks.
"I've been involved in games where we've been the heavy underdog and come out on top. I've also been involved in games where we have lost as favourites," Scotland-Williamson said.
"England are in a fantastic position, anything can happen, and they just need to execute and not let New Zealand have too much of the ball."
The Steelers tight end added: "It's been hard to keep track of the World Cup. I've been watching a lot of the highlights and trying to keep track of the scores.
He added: "I was lucky enough to go and check out the stadium when I had some downtime. It's an amazing facility.
"I'm an Arsenal fan though so I'm happy I was there on American football duty. From what I've seen and heard the games have been incredible.
"To have a purpose-built NFL stadium, the first of its kind outside America, is revolutionary and has been a fantastic success so far. To back it up and have two games at Wembley, an iconic stadium, is great.
"If the Steelers can play at Wembley or Spurs next year it would be a dream come true. I would have about 50 to 100 people in the crowd."
