England QUALIFY For Euro 2020 Knockout Stages

 England are assured to attain the knockout stages of Euro 2020 after results elsewhere ensured they will at worst qualify for the last-16 as one of the fantastic third-placed teams.


Three groups have now been completed, with Ukraine and Finland each ending with three points in third place of their respective groups.


Of the six groups in total, four third-placed teams will go thru and with England already having 4 points they are now unable to miss out as a third-placed team.


Third is the worst position Gareth Southgate's guys can finish in Group D, so it is now impossible for the Three Lions to crash out in the group tiers of the tournament.


It is additionally good news for the Czech Republic, France and Sweden, who are all now in the equal position and unable to go out in the group tiers of the Euros.


That said, the news is not likely to see England take their foot off the gas at Wembley on Tuesday night, as they look for a 2nd win of the team stages in opposition to the Czech Republic.


England won their opening match of the tournament 1-0 against Croatia with Raheem Sterling scoring the only goal, before a drab 0-0 against Scotland followed on Friday night.


The results on Monday night additionally means that if Scotland beat Croatia at Hampden Park on Tuesday, they will be guaranteed to go through, with their tally of 4 points impossible to be worse than Ukraine and Finland's three points.


Steve Clarke's side will be without star man Billy Gilmour, though, after he tested positive for Covid-19 in the aftermath of the England game.
