If England then saw off the winner of Sweden vs Ukraine they would then face either the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Denmark or Wales.

The England have already faced the Czechs defeating them 1-0 in the group stage. Wales finished runner up in their group behind a fancied Italy side and ahead of Switzerland and Turkey. The Netherlands topped their group with a perfect record while the Danes sneaked through as a runner up despite amassing just 3 points.

The semi-final will be played at Wembley on July 7.

And the final?

England have arguably fallen on the weaker side of the draw, with several favourites contesting the other half of the draw.

Should the Three Lions progress to the final they could face tournament holders Portugal, World Cup champions France and Roberto Mancini’s electric Italian side.

Belgium, Spain and Croatia will also fancy a run at the final, while Switzerland and Austria will face an uphill struggle to reach the final.

The final takes place in London on July 11.
