ENGLAND WIN GROUP BUT FEW PLAUDITS IN 0-0 SLOVENIA DRAW
England have won Group C at Euro 2024 after a goalless draw with Slovenia which will do little to quell the negativity and question marks shrouding Gareth Southgate's team.
Bukayo Saka had a goal disallowed in a stale first half - after Phil Foden was clearly offside before crossing him the ball - but such openings were rare and it took until the 30th minute for England to even register a shot on goal.
The introduction of Kobbie Mainoo at the interval, in place of Conor Gallagher, did bring a little more speed to England's passing, but they still lacked urgency and could not break down a disciplined and diligent Slovenia team who knew a point would be enough to take them through to the knockout rounds.
Slovenia dug in for that draw towards the end, rather than pushing for what have been a first-ever win at a European Championship, making England's task even harder.
England's last-16 opponents are yet to be confirmed, with the Netherlands a strong possibility. They are however now on the opposite side of the draw to Germany, Spain, Portugal and France, so cannot meet any of those sides until the final.

Slovenia go wild at the whistle - they know they are through. England are too and have won the group, if the other result holds. But this England display gave more questions than answers.
