England’s favourable route to Euro 2020 final could see them meet Wales in the semi-finals – but only if they beat Germany in last-16 at Wembley

Whatever plans you have for Tuesday, cancel them right now. England are playing Germany in Euro 2020.

The last-16 tie as was confirmed on Wednesday night as Germany sealed second place in Group F following a 2-2 draw against Hungary in Munich.

There have been many classic encounters between England and Germany over the years

The Wembley clash is the latest instalment in one of football’s best known rivalries.

Germany have typically done better when facing England – the Three Lions’ only victories over them in major tournaments coming in the 1966 World Cup and Euro 2000.

But it feels different this time, with many believing Gareth Southgate’s men are the favourites to emerge victorious.

Get through that and things could open up and then some! Below you can see England’s potential route to the final if they get past the Germans – with every game live on talkSPORT.

England are arguably on the more favourable side of the Euro 2020 draw

Quarter-finals

The winner of the England vs Germany tie will play the winner of Sweden vs Ukraine.

This will take place in Rome on Saturday July 3.

Semi-finals

Here’s where it gets more complicated, but the scenario that really stands out is a potential semi-final clash with Wales at Wembley on Wednesday July 7.

But Wales would need to get the better of Denmark on Saturday before beating whoever wins the Netherlands vs Czech Republic clash.

There would be so much more riding on this one if England and Wales were going for a spot in the final

So besides Germany, England have Czech Republic, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Ukraine and Wales on their side of the draw.

They won’t meet the likes of Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal or Spain until the final – if they reach it.

Could football really be coming home?
