Yesterday England achieved one of their biggest victories of this century, and perhaps even in their entire football history - they defeated eternal rivals the Germans in their own home at the "Wembley" stadium with a score of 2:0, earning a ticket to the quarterfinals of the European Championship. After the match, Gareth Southgate praised his players, saying: "The players were ruthless, talking about all footballers. The fans were also amazing. I've played here in a full stadium before, but I've never heard anything like what I heard today. The energy in the stadium today was amazing. To be able to send them home like this, with such a victory and to hear the fans singing ‘Sweet Caroline’ was wonderful! For those people who have had such difficult years staying at home, to give them the joy that we gave them today was a very, very special feeling."
Next, the English national team will play Ukraine at the Rome Olympic Stadium in Italy on Saturday. However, if they pass this barrier, they would already be waiting for the semifinals and potentially the final back home, at the "Wembley" stadium, among their own fans.
