Memories of 2009 run deep
The last time these two met at this stage of a major tournament Germany ran out 6-2 winners in Finland. It was England's first final since 1984.
They will be hoping for a happier encounter today.
The hurt in 2009 walking past that trophy and then having to watch as the Germans lifted it never left me as a footballer!!
Hopefully the emotions will be very different tomorrow 🖤.

All roads lead to Wembley
England waltzed through their group before they met Spain and were six minutes from going out in Brighton last week. They were saved by a late rescue act and then found Sweden to be very easy pickings on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Germany negotiated their group with similar ease before brushing aside Austria. France promised a much sterner test and Wednesday's game was probably the game of the tournament, such was the quality and the drama. Finals rarely live up to the gravity of the occasion, but these are two superb teams who like to play so it could be a classic.
