GARETH SOUTHGATE had cups of beer launched at him after England's last outing at Euro 2024 but he'll be hoping fans are raising a glass to him in celebration after tonight's last-16 clash with Slovenia.
The Three Lions managed to top Group C but the manner in which they did it left plenty of punters unimpressed and some vented their fury after Sunday's dreary stalemate with Slovenia.
Southgate knows performances need to improve but in the knockout stages it's all about results and England have a kind draw as they bid to reach a second successive European Championship showpiece.
Slovakia have already upset Belgium's big guns though and will be eyeing another scalp under shrewd manager Francesco Calzona.
The Italian will make his side hard to beat once more so England will need to show more invention to avoid another frustrating 90 minutes.

England v Slovakia Top Betting Tips
This game should be pretty similar to England's clash with Slovenia as the Slovakians will set up with the same kind of tactics. If we don't see an early goal then it could be a tough watch and the half-time draw appeals at 6//5 with Betfred.
England have yet to score more than once in a game at Euro 2024 so I also like the look of a win for Southgate's side combined with under 3.5 goals at 5/6.
Lukas Haraslin has looked a threat coming in from the left flank to have shots at goal with his right foot. The Slovakia winger is evens for a shot on target here and that could be worth a flutter.
Spain vs Georgia Top Tips
The other last-16 tie today is a real David v Goliath affair as Georgia bid to pull off another massive upset against Spain.
For a side making their debut at a major finals, the Georgians have done themselves proud and they sealed a place in the last 16 with a shock 2-0 win over Portugal.
The most refreshing thing about Georgia is that they haven't tried to park the bus, with the minnows having a go in all their group games.
That suggests BTTS might stand a chance at 6/4 while Georgian strikers Georges Mikautadze looks good value at evens for a shot on target given he has scored in every game so far.
We could see a lot of corners with Spain piling on the pressure and backing over 9.5 flag kicks also pays evens.
Mexico v Ecuador Top Tips
Group B comes to a climax at the Copa America in the early hours of Monday morning, with Ecuador and Mexico facing off for a place in the quarter-finals.
Venezuela are already through after a shock 1-0 win over the Mexicans last time out and that has left Jamie Lozano's men needing a win in the final game to qualify.
A point would be enough for Ecuador as they have a superior goal difference so it should be a tense 90 minutes.
The half-time draw looks good at 68/67 with VBet. Chelsea's Moises Caicedo is also 42/30 for a card at Unibet.

2 teams in the bottom 3 of the expected goals totals at euro 24 suggests zzzzzzzz and most people tip England to win 1-0 or 2-0 in a borefest which is likely.
I’m going against the grain and giving Slovakia a goal to hopefully liven things up and stop me nodding off halfway through an England game again.
Prediction 2-1 England.

I agree Alex big changes half time surely Gordon gets a run out and toney or Watkins.
Bellingham kane off.
Great players but look tired
Never have I wanted an own goal in a game so much. And at this point, I don’t even care which goal it ends up in!
England are even more shockingly bad than normal.
It’s a mirror of Italy game last night imo
All that talent and so little created,2 goals in what’s nearly 4 games speaks volumes for the managers tactics and refusal to change much
Take a bow son ⚽
Take a bow son ⚽
I never said that lol
Trent should be playing simple as, world class player sat on the bench is a disgrace.
England were useless tonight macca but to be fair trents no better when he plays , he constantly gives the ball away in dangerous positions , against the top teams they is no way Southgate will play him ,
You for real mate, Trent’s won everything there is to win, if you think Trent shouldn’t be playing you really need to learn a bit more about football especially the risk and reward side to the game. I’ll bet 100% though you agree Mainoo should be playing for England also.
Trent played the first 2 games mate and was useless gave the ball away everytime he got it , yer im a united fan but Mainoo is much better in there than trent ,
Full expected that reply almost word for word, says all I need to know lol
It’s an opinion mate don’t take it to heart lol
Not taken anything to heart bud. Has Bellingham been at his best? Of course he hasn’t but he has shown what he can do. Trents World class even your superstar ex layer Gary Neville rates Trent highly and was screaming for Southgate to get him on. England are missing what Trent can bring.

All about cricuima stats here.
They seen BTTS and overs in last 7 games.
International scored in last 5 away games.
This seec cricuima with the highest match goal average v international with the lowest (just 17 in 10 games)
Hoping cricuima draw their visitors out of their usual defensive mindset.
An early goal would be nice.
Prediction 1-1
Hopefully more 🇧🇷
Finished 1-1.
Main bet won, no Brucie bonus for the extra bet.
Happy enough though ⚽
