England came first in their group in the European Championship after a scoreless tie with Slovenia, but the fans were not happy with the team's performance and booed them.

The Three Lions, which is the nickname for the England men's team, had already secured their spot in the tournament's knockout stage prior to the match.

Gareth Southgate, the coach of the England national team, expressed his empathy towards fans who may be dissatisfied with the team's performance up to this point.

However, he expressed that he is incredibly pleased with the players for how they are handling the criticism from supporters.

Gareth Southgate expressed his happiness with how his players are handling the criticism.

A few supporters could be disappointed with the recent showings, but there is positive news for England as they move into the knockout stage.

The outcomes in other matches have allowed them to dodge many of the formidable teams in the later stages of the tournament.

Spain, Germany, Portugal, and France are all in a different part of the bracket, so England won't face them until the championship match.

England must win three elimination matches to make it to the final - the round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals.

England managed to steer clear of many of the top teams when it came to the knockout rounds.

Next, England will face off against one of the top four third-place finishers from Groups D, E, or F in the round of 16.

The team that England will play against will be determined on Wednesday.

However, the upcoming game for England is more clear cut. They will be facing one of those teams in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on Sunday.
