Gareth Southgate’s side have failed to live up to pre-tournament expectations in terms of performances, with three below-par displays so far, but five points was enough to top Group C and set up a last-16 clash against one of the best third-placed teams.

Despite a series of uninspiring displays, England have had their hopes boosted by results elsewhere, with Spain, Portugal, Germany and France all ending up on the other side of the draw.

The Three Lions will play Slovakia on Sunday, a game from which they will be strong favourites to progress.

Should the Three Lions make it through their last-16 match, they will face either Switzerland or Italy, who beat them in the Euro 2020 final, in the quarter-finals. Austria and Belgium are potential semi-final opponents, should England find a way to click into gear, before a final showdown against one of the favourites.
