As Greece followed the Czech Republic crashing out of Euro2012, England progressed to the last 6 of a major overseas tournament for the first time in over 20 years.
"Joining the likes of your Spains and your Germanies in the last 6 is great, but we're confident we can kick on and go one better tonight," said a bullish Steve Gerrard at last night's post match news conference.
"We'll savour this result, but tomorrow we will be back to work, focussing on getting through to the last 5."
