'''''They Think It's All Over''''' was the third comic story in the ongoing [[Doctor Who (2011)|''Doctor Who'' (2011)]] series from [[IDW]]. | |||

The Doctor, Amy and Rory try to travel to [[Wembley Stadium]] in [[1966]] to watch a [[football]] [[1966 World Cup Final|match]] between [[England]] and [[Germany]]. [[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] lands in the exact location — but in [[966]]. | |||
The TARDIS crew, accompanied by [[Saxon|Anglo-Saxons]], visit Lord [[Wemba]] and his wife [[Frida]], who thank the Doctor for helping [[King]] [[Alfred the Great]] escape from [[Somerset]]. [[Rangar]] the Strong, his son [[Henghist]] and several [[Viking]]s walk in to discuss peace with the Anglo-Saxons, but Rangar's son has other ideas. He plans to control the Anglo-Saxon "dogs". His father hits him and tells him to obey him, and Amy notices Henghist is only here to start an argument. | |||
Frida, away from the others, tells Amy that she and Rory should leave while they can, as Henghist has expressed great interest in her. Amy assures her she'll be fine. | Frida, away from the others, tells Amy that she and Rory should leave while they can, as Henghist has expressed great interest in her.

Henghist tries to take Amy and Frida as "payment for his father's death" when the Doctor has another idea: he challenges him and [[Wulf|one of his soldiers]] to a game of football. If he wins, he gets Frida, Amy and Wemba's land. If he loses, the Vikings leave. | ||
The Doctor and Rory win the football match, much to Henghist's displeasure. He wants to kill the women and burn the village, but Rory punches him, knocking him out cold. | |||
After their goodbyes, the TARDIS crew finally travel to [[Wembley Stadium]] at the right time, where they chant "Wemba's Lea!". | |||
