England are so close to Berlin they can almost see the Brandenburg Gate. A second consecutive European Championship final is within their grasp after seeing off Switzerland in the quarter-finals. They just need to reach out and take it.
But in the semi-finals they will be facing a tricky Netherlands side who have overcome a surprise defeat by Austria to make it to the last four. And despite getting this far, England have not had too much to shout about at the tournament.
Against the toughest side they will have faced in Germany, containing genuine Premier League stars including Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven, Nathan Ake and Cody Gakpo, England will have to up the ante and start to their potential. And that means making some tough decisions, indeed the toughest of all: dropping Harry Kane.
Kane had just 26 touches against Switzerland and was holding the team back in a manner remarkably similar to Cristiano Ronaldo's negative impact on Portugal. Calls are growing for Kane to be taken out of the firing line and Gareth Southgate needs to listen to them.
