England’s World Cup fixtures
With the Croatia, Ghana, and Panama group games out of the way, Tuchel’s side beat DR Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32.
But their path to the final is anything but easy.
England are in the lower bracket of the World Cup alongside the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Norway, Egypt and Colombia.
Mexico await the Three Lions in the last-16 after they saw off Ecuador 2-0 to make it four wins from four for the co-hosts.
That tie will be held at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City at 1am in the UK on Sunday, July 5.
Five-time winners Brazil or Norway would be the quarter-final opponents at 10pm GMT in Miami on July 11.
Brazil came from behind to beat Japan 2-1 with Gabriel Martinelli scoring the winner in stoppage time.

England’s potential route to the final
What has been said?
If England are to go all the way this summer, they are going to do it in Tuchel’s way, and Tuchel’s way only.
Speaking after the Congo win, Tuchel said: “If everyone got what they like, we get an early goal, another goal, an easy afternoon. You have to deal with each situation that comes. They got a very early goal.
“After the water break, we had four or five opportunities. The penalty situation didn’t go in our favour.
“We kept knocking, knocking and knocking. The reaction and belief is one of a kind. We found a way to win. Well deserved.
“Like I said the whole tournament, the energy and team spirit is at the highest level.
“Everyone understands which part of the tournament we are in at the moment. The players who don’t play keep pushing and pushing, they are positive in the water breaks. Everyone is comfortable when they play, everyone is comfortable when they finish the game.
“We want it easy and have the first goal. If you have it and come back from one goal down, these are the experiences that give you genuine belief.
“They are well aware of what they did and what it took today.”
