Who will England face in the last 16 of Euro 2024?

After finishing top of the group, England were pencilled in to face one of the best third-placed teams in either Group D, E or F. The Netherlands secured third spot in Group D, but the other two groups were in action only on Wednesday.

Georgia managed to secure a stunning win against Portugal in their final group game and qualified as one of the four best third-placed teams. This meant that England's Round-of-16 opponents are Slovakia, the third-placed team in Group E.
