England fans confident after win against Czech Republic
Elated England fans are rejoicing tonight as the Three Lions marched on in Euro 2020 with a win over Czech Republic - but it was heartbreak for the Tartan Army, with Scotland crashing out in a 3-1 defeat to Croatia.
Raheem Sterling sent Three Lions fans, both at Wembley and in pubs across the country, into raptures with an early goal - heading home from a Jack Grealish cross just 12 minutes in.
It proved enough to secure victory and push Gareth Southgate's side through to the Round of 16 as group winner. They now face a clash with heavyweights France, Germany or Portugal, or possibly Hungary.
Their opponents in that game - which will be played in front of 40,000 fans at Wembley on Tuesday night - will be revealed after the final set of group games tomorrow.
But while it was ecstasy for England fans, it was agony for Scotland supporters, who watched their side crash out at the group stages.
The Tartan Army were left head in hands after losing 3-1 in their must-win clash against Croatia. 
Scotland's night started with agony, initially going 1-0 down to Croatia who scored through Nikola Vlasic.
Scottish hopes were raised when, in front of a 12,000-strong Tartan Army crowd at Hampden Park, Callum McGregor fired home a low shot from outside the box to level the scores.
To further add to the Tartan Army's delight, it is the first Scotland goal at a European Championships in 25 years. 
But a 25-yard outside-of-the-boot stunner from Real Madrid star Luka Modric has left Scotland facing group stage elimination.
And Scotland edged a step closer to elimination when Ivan Perisic headed home a Modric corner, much to the agony of the Tartan Army. 
Meanwhile, England's 1-0 win, courtersey of a goal from Sterling, who grew up just a stone's throw away from Wembley in Brent, means the Three Lions qualify for the Round of 16 as winners of Group D.
But they now face the prospect of a heavyweight clash against the likes of Portugal, France or Germany.
As winners of Group D, they will face the runners up of Group F - the so-called 'Group of Death'.  With one more round of games to be played in Group F, any of the four teams could still finish as runners up. 
So, as it stands, England's opponents could be France, Germany, Portugal or Hungary.
