Either Sweden or Ukraine will await them in the last eight as the pair prepare to meet at Hampden Park later on Tuesday night.
Either way, England’s last-eight clash will take place in Rome next Saturday night with the draw beginning to open up for Gareth Southgate’s men.
Switzerland’s stunning win over France on Monday night leaves them to face Spain for the right to potentially face England back at Wembley in the semi-finals.
And fans and pundits are increasingly optimistic that Gareth Southgate’s men have seldom had a better chance to make the final.
Belgium, Denmark and Italy – arguably the three most impressive teams in the tournament so far – are all safely situated in the opposite side of the draw.
But the clinical manner of their win over Germany will give Southgate’s side no reason to fear any opponent as the road to Euro 2020 title continues to clear.
