England will meet hosts Russia or Croatia on Tuesday for a spot in the final, after goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli sent through to the last four of the competition for the first time since 1990.

“Yes, I definitely believe they are,” Andersson responded when asked if England were good enough to win the tournament.
