England joined Serbia, the Netherlands and Belgium in the Uefa European Under-21 Championship semi-finals as they claimed second place in Group B behind their opponents thanks to the 2-0 win against Serbia. Leroy Lita and Matt Derbyshire scored for England U21, but a red card for Tom Huddlestone will make coach Stuart Pearce look for yet another replacement entering the semi-final match against the Netherlands.

England will not take part in the 2008 Olympic Football Tournament in China, therefore Portugal will play Italy on 21 June to decide the fourth spot for the Olympics.
