England drew with Sweden before beating Slovakia and host nation Poland to win their group and set up the semi-final with Germany. This time last year, English football was reeling after the senior team were humiliated and humbled by Iceland at Euro 2016. The date - 27 June 2016 - will always be a haunting reminder of arguably England's worst-ever defeat. One year later, the Football Association can reflect on genuine shoots of recovery, with the under-17s reaching their Euro finals and the under-20s winning the World Cup in South Korea.
Tammy Abraham made it 2-1 to England with a tap-in but Felix Platte's header took the game to extra time. Germany will face Spain - who beat Italy 3-1 - in Friday's final in Krakow (19:45 BST).

We could have nicked it but that's football. We've practised, practised and practised penalties but the keeper has made two good saves. It was a real effort - a real backs against the wall job at times. It's been a long journey. The tournament has been fantastic. I'm sure there will be future senior players in this team.
