Gareth Southgate: England have to be "right on our game" against Slovakia

Under-fire Gareth Southgate says it is time to deliver as England attempt to put an underwhelming group stage behind them by making improvements and progressing past Slovakia in the round of 16. The road to Berlin has begun in unconvincing fashion for the Euro 2020 runners-up, with boos greeting the end of the 1-1 draw with Denmark and Tuesday’s goalless stalemate with Slovenia. But England won Group C having started with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Serbia at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, where they return for their first knockout match on Sunday. Slovakia, who are ranked 45th in the world, stand in England’s way in the round of 16 – a stage they have progressed from in all three previous tournaments under the former defender.
