I think Jordan Henderson's stock has gone up. He proved he can play it forward and he's done it better than anyone else today. The defensive work; the ground he covered, was phenomenal. If Pirlo plays that ball we are sat here celebrating it so why not Jordan? It's his character. A big part of his make up is that.

Gareth Southgate took the job on, when he initially said didn't want it. His insight into the age group level means he knows the set-up inside out.

He has brought some of the players up from the Under-21s and he has given those youngsters a license to play. He is positive in what he says and he doesn't beat about the bush.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, speaking to BBC Sport: "I wasn't born the last time England reached a World Cup semi-final. We have always said we would take one game at a time and we can go on and create our own history.

"We knew it was going to be difficult, we know what Sweden bring to the party and we managed it very well. After I made that first save from Marcus Berg with the header that was me set for the rest of the game.

"England fans are different class and we really enjoyed playing in that atmosphere."

In both boxes Harry Maguire was immense. He was a man-mountain but with the ball at his feet his is graceful as well. He is indispensable to this team at the moment. He showed his importance today.

Neil: At least we can't play Germany in the semi final

Mandy: In a very British Hugh Grant type way “I really, rather, would, um, surmise that football is indeed, um, probably going to um, come home”

Sounds reasonable to us, Chris

England were in the World Cup semi-final was back in 1990.

Seventeen out of this 23-man squad WERE NOT BORN.

Dele Alli speaking to BBC Sport: "It's a great achievement for the team and we owe it to the fans. They have been believing in us. It was a great performance from the team.

"It's always nice to score especially in occasions like this. I don't think it was my best performance but to get a goal is unbelievable and it's an amazing feeling to get to the semi-final.

"It was a real graft out there but it was important we had belief in the gameplan and to dominate possession. It was important we kept moving the ball quickly and waited for the opportunity.

"Jordan Pickford proved in the last game how big he is for this team and we will all be celebrating together.

What really impressed me was Jordan Pickford's overall game and his distribution. His body language was always positive. You had the feeling he commanded his box.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, midfielder Dele Alli said: "We have been working so hard together and it has been an amazing journey for myself and all of the boys. We can only imagine the support back home, and the only thing better than supporting is playing. We have just got to keep believing.

"Personally, I don’t think I performed as well as I should have, but as a team it was solid. We controlled the game from start to finish. Sweden are so tough to break down so to score twice was great."

England defender Harry Maguire, speaking to BBC Sport: "You can't get better than that and we're through - that's the main thing.

"We felt we could dominate the ball today. We knew set-plays would be a big thing."

Asked if football is coming home, Maguire added: "Hopefully! Fingers crossed."

England captain Harry Kane, speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought we were fantastic. We faced the long ball - different to what we have faced before and we're buzzing with the result

"We know there is a big game ahead with the semi-final but we are feeling good and we're confident. We just have to go again. We are enjoying it and we've got keep doing what we are doing and make the country proud."

This team seem so well balanced at the moment. That has come with confidence. The draw has opened up for them and we can't get away from that. Teams get put in front of you and there's never easy games in a World Cup.
