    England 2-2 Germany (3-4 on pens)

    England showed some glimpses of real promise as a team, but after Germany equalised the momentum swung their way. They might have won it in normal time, they might have won it as the game went to 120 minutes, but in the end spot-kicks decided it.

    Germany make it through to Friday's final in Krakow. Spain take on Italy in the other semi-final.

    Adam: Great effort by the England lads today and at this tournament. The future is bright!

    George Biggs: Literally rather flip a coin than try to beat Germany on penalties at this point.

    Terry Butcher
    Ex-England captain in Tychy for 5 live sports extra

    I feel sorry for Nathan Redmond. It was a comfortable save. What a way to lose the game. What a heroic effort from all these England players. They matched Germany - the application and spirit has been magnificent throughout this competition.

    James Ward-Prowse for England

    Ward-Prowse drives it in, high and away from the keeper who again dived the wrong way. Pollersbeck has been looking at notes hidden in his sock.

    Fine words from Mr Butcher.

    England just need to think about Stuart Pearce.

    No, not 1990 Pearce, 1996 Pearce.
