England, France, Netherlands Secure Euro 2024 Knockout Berths
England, France, and the Netherlands have booked their places in the knockout stages of Euro 2024 following Monday's results, where Albania fell 1-0 to Group B leaders Spain in Duesseldorf, courtesy of an early Ferran Torres strike.
In Group C, England has confirmed their advancement with four points and currently leads the group standings ahead of their upcoming match against Slovenia in Cologne. A victory will ensure top spot for Gareth Southgate's squad, while a draw would suffice if Denmark fails to defeat Serbia in the group's other fixture.
Meanwhile, France and the Netherlands, both on four points in Group D, played to a scoreless draw last Friday. They now face decisive matches on Tuesday to determine their final group standings. France meets already-eliminated Poland, while the Netherlands confront Austria, who can secure their knockout spot with a win against the Dutch.
Should both France and the Netherlands win or draw their respective matches on Tuesday, their group ranking will be determined by overall goal difference, total goals scored, disciplinary points, and European qualifiers rankings, in that order of precedence.
With these outcomes, England, France, and the Netherlands aim to secure favorable draws for the round of 16 as they continue their Euro 2024 campaigns.
