Even before the ball is kicked in their match against Slovenia, England has guaranteed their spot in the Euro 2024 knockout rounds, according to Daily Mail.
Although Gareth Southgate’s team have not fared well in Germany, they have already guaranteed their place in the next round after Monday night’s results in Group B went their way.
How England made it to the knockout stage
England will now finish among the top four third-place teams with a minimum of four points, since Hungary is currently third place in Group A with three points.
Obviously, a victory vs Slovenia would still put the Three Lions atop the group, and a draw may even vault them there based on other outcomes.
The Three Lions will feel less pressure after Spain’s victory over Albania since they know that no matter what happens, they will still be competing in the second round.
To guarantee first place in the group, Gareth Southgate’s men must avoid defeat against Slovenia in their last group stage encounter on Tuesday, 25.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy recently reported that Harry Kane hit back at the Three Lions’ legends for their harsh criticisms of the team.
