Penalty pain and Wembley joy – A look at England’s past semi-final showdowns
England take on the Netherlands on Wednesday looking to reach a second successive European Championship final.
It will be the sixth time England have played in the semi-finals of a major tournament, not including the 1968 European Championship when only four teams qualified for the finals.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at how England got on in their previous last-four encounters.
Gazza’s tears and the start of their penalty shootout woes were the legacies of England’s biggest game since seeing off the same opponents in the final 24 years earlier. Gary Lineker cancelled out Andreas Brehme’s deflected effort at the Stadio delle Alpi before, in the shootout, Stuart Pearce saw his spot-kick saved and Chris Waddle blazed over.
