Must read

England are set to face Slovakia in the Euro 2024 round-of-16 – meaning their potential path to the final can now be seen.

Originally, Gareth Southgate‘s squad looked likely to play against the Netherlands, until Georgia surprised everyone with a 2-0 victory over Portugal. Despite a series of lacklustre performances, England topped Group C.




With a 1-0 win over Serbia, a 1-1 draw against Denmark, and a goalless draw with Slovenia, they accumulated five points. Now, the Three Lions are setting their sights on the knockout stage.

Due to France’s unexpected 1-1 draw with Poland, who were already out of the competition, England finds themselves on what is considered the easier side of the draw. This means they won’t have to face heavyweights like France, Portugal, Spain, and host nation Germany until the final.

The match against Slovakia is scheduled for 5pm UK time this Sunday, taking England back to Gelsenkirchen, where they started their campaign, reports the Mirror. Slovakia emerged from an unusual Group E, finishing third as all teams ended up with four points. Francesco Calzona’s team kicked off the tournament with a remarkable 1-0 victory over Belgium, followed by a 2-1 loss to Ukraine.
