Euro 2024: England book second round qualification with a game to spare in group C

The Three Lions of England have booked a spot in the knockout phase of the ongoing Euro 2024 ahead of its final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday evening.

England currently sit top of Group C on four points after beating Serbia and drawing with Denmark, and following Monday night’s results which saw Spain beat Albania while Italy snatched a late 1-1 draw against Croatia, it means that the Three Lions will be guaranteed to finish as one of the best third-placed teams from the group stage.

After 12 teams would have secured automatic qualifications four of the best third-placed teams out of all six groups will go through to the last-16 and with England, France and Netherlands already on four points with one game each remaining, all three nations are guaranteed a spot in the last 16.

If England beat Slovenia to secure top spot in Group C on Tuesday, they will face a third-place team from either Group D, E or F.
