England secured a 2-0 victory in front of the Three Lions supporters on Tuesday against Germany and it was truly an electrifying atmosphere at Wembley. The fans have been buzzing, but there also seems to be a strong belief within the team that England can truly capture the ultimate prize.
Saka meanwhile has started the last two games for Gareth Southgate's side and impressed, but he is a doubt against Ukraine after picking up a slight knock on Friday in training. Nonetheless, England has tons of options up top, with Jack Grealish and Jadon Sancho likely to start in the quarterfinals at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Three Lions haven't scored a ton of goals in the tournament but do seem to be hitting their stride at the best possible time after a very solid performance against the Germans. This team was a heavy favorite coming into Euro 2020 and based on Saka's comments, the vibe in England couldn't be better right now.
