Jubilant England fans are waking up with sore heads this morning after a night of raucous celebrations following the Three Lions' stunning victory over Germany at Wembley yesterday. Gareth Southgate's men ended 55 years of hurt as goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane sent England to the quarter finals of Euro 2020 - and gave them a first win against the Germans in a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup final.The victory sent the nation into raptures, with millions celebrating wildly and partying in the street long into the night.All eyesare now on Rome as England prepare to take on Ukraine in the quarter finals on Saturday - with the Three Lions seen as overwhelming favourites to advance. However, they will have to do so without the stirring support that aided them at Wembley last night as Covid restrictions mean that any UK travellers to Italy will have to isolate for five days upon arrival - making it impossible for fans to fly out in time.The FA is instead attempting to encourage expats to attend the game with an estimated 30,000 UK citizens living in Italy.  
  
The stadium will have a capacity of just 18,000, with England getting a ticket allocation of just over 2,000.Tickets will be available at the UK embassy in Rome, however, there is no system in place for snapping up seats, leading to fears phone lines will be overwhelmed.  Saturday's crowd will be a vast contrast to the 45,000 who filled Wembley stadium to watch Southgate's men outclass the Germans last night - the biggest crowd at an event seen since the pandemic began.Prince William and Kate Middleton, who also attended, hailed England as lucky royal mascot Prince George saw the Three Lions triumph at his first international football match. After the match, the couple took to their official Twitter account to praise England's 'incredible performance'.  George was seen watching the match close to his avid football fan father, with the pair wearing matching suits and England html5 games unblocked ties.  
  
The Duke of Cambridge dotingly explained every twist and turn of the nail-biting match to his son - who is named after the patron saint of England - as they beamed from their box.Football Association president William threw his fists into the air as his wife Kate clapped demurely when the final whistle blew. It is hoped that the Three Lions' victory could give Britain's ailing economy a much-needed shot in the arm. Retail analyst Richard Hyman said: 'Obviously everyone will be pleased.  
  
Even people who aren't interested in football will know what's happened and it'll put smiles on people's faces and make them feel more positive.'And maybe they'll spend some more money, which will be good for the economy.'
