It will be the first time England have played in the final of a European Championship and it will be England's first tournament final since the World Cup. More than 60, fans will be allowed into Wembley after the ground's capacity was permitted to increase to 75 per cent for the final three games of the competition. While the 'risk' of topping Group D was, from the outset, that England were likely to face a powerhouse opponent in the last 16, the longer-term advantage of progressing as winners was that England were now in the other half of the draw to Italy and Spain.
After the game ended, English players gave comfort to Saka, who was born in the London area from Nigerian parents who moved to England as economic migrants.
Fans on social media, and particularly in England, sounded off. The British racist idiots have started, they will attack the Black players in this England team even their racist press will tear them apart come 2morrow morning. Yeah, no room for racism. If Cavani cost of the game he would get battered the same way. The stars of both teams, Zinchenko and Emil Forsberg for Sweden, scored in the first half and both teams hit the woodwork in the second half.
They finally did it. After 55 years, England defeated Germany in a major competition. Two late goals by Raheem Sterling 75th min and Harry Kane 86th min lifted the English past Germany and into the Euro quarterfinals. England brought on Jack Grealish in the 69th minute and the Aston Villa midfielder combined with left winger Luke Shaw to create the goals, which both came off service from the left side. Sterling poked home the first cross from Shaw and Kane headed home a Grealish cross for the second.
Sterling is now up to three goals at these Euros. Between those strikes, Germany had a great chance to equalize on a 1-on-1 breakaway, but Thomas Muller pulled his shot wide. Germany's Timo Werner and Kai Havertz had the other big chances earlier in the match, but English goalkeeper Jordan Pickford kept them off the board.
Pickford is the first goalkeeper ever to earn four straight shutouts to start a Euros competition. England advances to face Ukraine in a quarterfinal to be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. If the Three Lions can get past the next round, they will host the semifinal and final at Wembley Stadium in London. Switzerland pulled off one of the more memorable upsets in Euros history, ousting World Cup champions and pre-tournament favorite France on penalties after a draw.
Swiss 'keeper Yann Sommer saved France's final penalty by star forward Kylian Mbappe and Switzerland booked a ticket to its first quarterfinals in a major tournament since Switzerland took the shock lead in the 15th minute and had a chance to make it , but Ricardo Rodriguez had a second-half penalty kick stopped by French 'keeper Hugo Lloris. That save turned the game on its head with Karim Benzema scoring twice and Paul Pogba netting a spectacular third to put France up with 15 minutes to play.
The match appeared to be over. But the Swiss weren't done: goals by Haris Seferovic in the 81st and Mario Gavranovic in the 90th minute sent the match to extra time. The draw persisted and the match went to a shootout, where the Swiss were the last ones left standing. This match was crazy. Just when you thought Spain was cruising to a win after taking a lead with 15 minutes to play, Croatia came roaring back to tie it with goals in the 85th and 92nd minutes to send the match to extra time.
Croatia actually took the lead in this game, but it didn't do anything to contribute to the goal. It was a backpass by Spain midfielder Pedri which skipped past the foot of his goalkeeper Unai Simon and into the back of the net.
And when the game went to extra time, Simon redeemed himself with a sensational save to prevent the Croatians from going up Then in another story of redemption, heavily-criticized Spain forward Alvaro Morata, who has struggled to convert solid chances in the tournament, scored the game-winner on a spectacular play.
Mikel Oyarzabal sealed the result with a goal and the Croatians didn't have a second two-goal comeback in them. Marcus Rashford. Jude Bellingham. Jadon Sancho. Reece James. Sam Johnstone. Aaron Ramsdale. Yussuf Poulsen. Joachim Andersen. Mathias Jensen. Jonas Wind. Robert Skov. Andreas Skov Olsen. Andreas Cornelius. Team Ranks. Game Stream. Substitution - In. Substitution - Out. Grealish is withdrawn at half-time in extra-time and is replaced by Trippier.
Southgate wants to shore up his backline.
