EURO 2024: WHO WILL ENGLAND PLAY NEXT AND WHEN? OPPONENTS FOR QUARTER-FINALS NAMED
England have kept their hopes of Euro 2024 glory alive with a dramatic comeback to beat Slovakia.
The Three Lions had looked set to make an embarrassing last-16 exit from the tournament on Sunday night after Ivan Schranz’s first-half goal in Gelsenkirchen.
However, Jude Bellingham popped up with the most dramatic of last-gasp bicycle kicks to spare Gareth Southgate’s blushes and force extra time, where captain Harry Kane headed in early to complete a remarkable turnaround.
While yet another disappointing performance will have done little to silence the doubters after an underwhelming group stage campaign, such a thrilling comeback could give England some much-needed confidence as they gear up for next weekend’s quarter-finals.
So who will England play next and how can you watch all the action?
Who will England play in the quarter-finals?
England will now play Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm BST on Saturday, July 5 at the Dusseldorf Arena.
The Swiss were the first team to book their last-eight spot at the tournament after stunning defending champions Italy 2-0 in Berlin on Saturday night.
What if England beat Switzerland?
If England come through the game against Switzerland, then they will tee up a semi-final showdown in Dortmund with an 8pm kick-off on Wednesday, July 10.
That game would come against the winners of Netherlands vs Turkey.
Win that too, and England would be through to the final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion on July 14, against the winners of Spain/Germany vs Portugal/France.
But there’s a long way to go for that. There is no third-place play-off at the European Championship.
