So England send a statement to Portugal ahead of Sunday afternoon’s quarter-final showdown at the Givi Kiladze Stadium in Kutaisi.
A third straight 2-0 victory to close out Group C means they are still yet to concede a single goal at this tournament, no mean feat considering that they made eight changes in total tonight including three at the back.
For Germany, it’s a humiliating group stage exit just two years after their third title success in Slovenia. They finish bottom of the group with just one point and no wins from their three matches.
Israel held on to beat the Czech Republic by the way, so they go through as runners-up to play co-hosts and surprise Group A winners Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday.
