WELSH and English fans are divided by a single street in the border village of Llanymynech.
Rival flags adorn each side of the road.
England-born Jean Williams and Welsh husband Kevin, married 20 years tomorrow, will watch separately.
Jean, 65, said: “I’m hoping for a Three Lions victory. I reckon we’ll beat The Dragons 3-O. I’ll be over the moon.”
Electrical engineer Keith, 59, chipped in: “I think my wife’s got that wrong.”
Supporters in the Dragon Inn, which straddles the border, were celebrating early.
