Germany: England plays Slovakia in the round of 16 at Euro 2024 on Sunday after facing fierce criticism for its performances during the group stage. Still, the runner up three years ago is unbeaten and on the opposite side of the draw to France, Spain, Germany and Portugal. Kickoff is at 9 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) in Gelsenkirchen.
Here’s what to know about the match:
Match facts - England advanced to the knockout phase as group winner and unbeaten in three games, but fans showed their anger at the team's performance against Slovenia on Tuesday with loud jeers at the end of the match and some threw beer cups toward manager Gareth Southgate.
- This is Southgate's fourth major tournament as England manager and he has always managed to lead the team to at least the quarterfinals.
- Slovakia is playing in the round of 16 at a Euros for second time as an independent nation, having advanced to this stage in 2016. It has never gone beyond the round of 16.
