England fans home and abroad celebrated into the early hours after the Three Lions reached their second consecutive semi-final at a major tournament.
The Three Lions’ 4-0 demolition of Ukraine in Rome set up a clash with Denmark at Wembley, with restrictions on capacity set to be eased for the fixture.
Harry Kane scored once in each half, with goals from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson seeing the side through.
It is the second time England have found themselves one game away from a major final in the last three years after Gareth Southgate led the country to the same stage at the World Cup in 2018.
Marxism
It didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter that England players had been slammed as ‘Marxists by some for taking the knee, in a gesture against racism and discrimination and there were some excellent memes doing the rounds.

Since England adopted Marxism they seem unbeatable! You should get behind it! If only we had known sooner that Marxism would produce such results.
