ENGLAND are officially through to the Round of 16 of Euro 2024 - albeit in an uninspiring fashion. Gareth Southgate 's troops topped Group C by avoiding defeat to Slovenia in their final Group C match. They were held to a drab 0-0 draw in the Cologne clash , which has heaped further pressure on Southgate's shoulders.
Three Lions fans have now turned their attention to who they'll face in the round of 16, which gets underway on Saturday evening. And they'll face either the Netherlands - or a side from Group E, most likely Slovakia. The Netherlands were the surprise third place finishers in Group D after Ronald Koeman 's side suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Austria, who ended up topping the group ahead of France and the Oranje.
England could also end up facing the third-placed team from Group E, in which all four teams - Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine - are currently level on three points. Slovakia are the most likely team to finish third. That's because they play Romania in their final game, and both teams know a draw would send them both through.
Should the game finish level, Slovakia are certain to be the third placed team. The Slovaks, who stunned Belgium 1-0 in their opening game, play current Group E toppers Romania tomorrow at 5pm. Once the final group stage matches are played on Wednesday night, England's opponent will be officially confirmed.
