England to play Slovakia next at Euro 2024 thanks to Georgia's shock win over Portugal as they're handed IDEAL potential run to the final, with last-16 ties confirmed now group stage has ended

England will face Slovakia in the last 16 at Euro 2024 after the group stage of the tournament concluded on Wednesday night.

Heading into Wednesday's fixtures, England looked likely to face the Netherlands, but Georgia's shock 2-0 win against Portugal changed all that.

The European minnows took the lead through star man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia inside two minutes, and doubled their advantage thanks to a Georges Mikautadze penalty 12 minutes after the interval.

Portugal tried to get back into the game but were unable to find a breakthrough on a famous night for Georgian football.

They also appear to have done England a favour, with the Three Lions now avoiding the Netherlands and taking on the third-placed team in Group E instead.
