Great news for all England fans! Our national team has secured a spot in the last-16 of Euro 2024. That's right, we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that we will be continuing on in the tournament. And we didn't even have to wait until our final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday evening to find out.
Under the guidance of our talented manager, Gareth Southgate, England currently sits at the top of Group C with four points. We kicked off our journey with a win against Serbia and followed it up with a draw against Denmark. Our fate was sealed after Monday night's games, where Spain defeated Albania and Italy came back with a late equalizer against Croatia. These results mean that we will finish as one of the best third-place teams, securing our place in the last-16.
But it's not just us who have made it through. With France and the Netherlands also on four points with one game remaining, we are in good company as a guaranteed spot in the last-16. And let's not forget, if we manage to clinch the top spot in Group C, we will face a third-place team from either Group D, E, or F. Who could it be? Well, from Group D, Poland or Austria are our most likely opponents. From Group E, we could potentially face any one of Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, or Belgium. And from Group F, it looks like Turkey or the Czech Republic may be our opponents.
Now, let's take a moment to recognize the other teams who have also secured their place in the last-16. We have Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and the Netherlands. It's going to be a tough competition, but we are ready for the challenge.
But what if we don't finish at the top of our group? Well, if we end up in second place, we will face the winners of Group A, which is none other than Germany. And if, by some unlikely turn of events, we end up losing to Slovenia and finish third in our group, we will face Portugal.
In the midst of all this excitement, there has also been some criticism from fans and pundits about our performance in the 1-1 draw against Denmark. But our manager, Gareth Southgate, is not letting it affect him. In fact, he's completely oblivious to it. As he so eloquently put it, "That's the world we're in." He's focused on guiding our players through the tournament and is not bothered by external opinions. He knows that as a high-profile team with high expectations, everything we do will be scrutinized. But he's comfortable with it, and so are our players. We know what we have done well, and we are honest about where we need to improve. That's how we will continue to grow and perform at our best.
