On June 27, the European Championship group stage ended, and England will face Slovakia in the Round of 16. In discussing England’s knockout stage journey, The Sun has said that the Three Lions have avoided all the title contenders, making their prospects of reaching the final very bright.
All 16 teams in the European Championship have been determined. The top half of the draw features heavyweights such as Spain, Germany, Portugal, France and Belgium. England has fallen into the bottom half, where the only real competition comes from Italy and the Netherlands, both in decline, which has significantly increased England’s chances of reaching the final.
The Sun said: “England finished top of their group with one win and two draws. Although the Three Lions’ performance has not been convincing, they have avoided the likes of France, Germany, Spain and Portugal before the final, which makes their prospects of reaching the final very bright.”
At the last European Championship, England reached the final, but lost to Italy in a penalty shootout and finished as runners-up. This year, England is hoping to bounce back and challenge for the title again.
