England are three matches away from a place in the final of this summer’s European Championships, but who stands in their way? Standard Sport explains.
First up for Roy Hodgson’s side is surprise package Iceland, whose stunning and dramatic late win over Austria sealed their place in the knockout rounds.
With Portugal seemingly destined to face England again, substitute Arnor Ingvi Traustason struck in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 victory for the Icelanders over Austria, and with snatch second spot in Group F.
England will face Iceland in Nice next Monday, but who could lie in wait after that?
Standard Sport explains the possibilities…
West Ham playmaker Dimitri Payet has lit up Euro 2016 and could have England in his sights at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Sunday July 3.
Hosts France will reach the last eight if they beat one of the third-placed teams from Groups C, D or E on Sunday.
However, Northern Ireland could also be up against England after reaching the last 16. Michael O'Neill's side will face either Wales or France, and could hand England a real test if they manage to progress.
Group E winners Italy showed their potential in their opening victory over Belgium.
However, defending champions Spain will offer a massive test for Antonio Conte's side in the last 16.
World champions Germany are also potential opponents, and have a favourable last-16 draw against Albania as it stands.
An all-British final? Well, Wales are now in the other half of the draw so the sides cannot meet again until then.

You go here to sit in the sunshine and enjoy their beer terrace, where the screens are. If the weather suddenly remember this is England, don’t worry: they’ve TVs indoors too.

Clapham Grand are very proud of their screen, and rightly so: at 24ft-wide, it’s the largest sports screen in the UK (so says them). If that’s not enough for you, they also have two 8ft x 6ft HD screens and six 50-inch plasma TVs, and you can fill up on hot dogs, pop corn and drinks, which will be going round while the games are on.
Anywhere advertising itself on the basis of ‘Oompah-Tainment’ has to be worth a shot. It’s no surprise that these two uber-bars will be screening the German matches as well as England’s games, but they’ll show the others too if you ask nicely. Get the steins in.
Bounce might be all about ping-pong, but this summer, they’re making an exception for the football. You’ll need to book out a room, but at least you won’t be short of half time entertainment.
Throughout June, Waterloo theatre The Vaults will be showing a handful of matches, and for those who care about the other thing happening in Europe, they’re also screening Brexit live.... we can’t bear to think of the hooligans who’ll be watching that.
Taking over infamous Clapham nightclub Infernos, pop-up fanzone Zlatan’s are aiming for a stadium-like atmosphere with trumpets and sing-alongs, arena seating and a terrace with huge HD screens.
This pop-up behind King’s Cross and St Pancras is promising an immersive 360-degree footballing experience. They’re calling it Football Heaven and while that might be a bit strong, it promises to be popular, so turn up half an hour before kick off.
The Water Poet looks like an old-school one-room boozer from the outside, but step in and it opens up, tardis like. It gets completely packed but that’s part of the fun. Don’t just take our word for it, either: The Thinking Drinkers named it the best bar in the UK to watch the Euros. They’ve a lovely outdoor terrace too, so if the weather is good, you’ve somewhere to celebrate, or commiserate.
Ex-England defender Gary Mabbutt will host proceedings at Koko concert hall when England play Slovakia on June 20. He will provide half-time punditry and a Q&A session in front of a 20ft custom-built screen. They’re also showing England’s other group games, though Mabbutt won’t be on hand for those.

Better looking than the usual sports bars, the well put together Famous Three Kings boasts 16 screens and they'll be screening every match of the tournament.

This east London arts centre and cinema is screening the games, but go to make the most of what else they have on: there’ll be gigs in the evenings, including French big band Deluxe on June 10.
