England to face Slovakia in last-16 as Georgia claim stunning win over Portugal

Cundy sends warning

Slovakia might look like a nicer game on paper than some of England’s other potential opponents, but Jason Cundy feels the Three Lions should be wary.

Speaking on The Sports Bar, he said: “You look at the route, there is a pathway through to the final, how do we navigate our way through?

“We could have had the Dutch, we got Slovakia, now I’ve seen all of Slovakia’s games, they scored the first goal in every single one of their games so far.

“They’re a high press, high intensity, well organised, the second half against Belgium, they rode their luck a little bit, they beat Belgium 1-0.

“[In 2-1 defeat to Ukraine] First half, they were excellent, I promise you, they were so good, I don’t know what happened second half, they crumbled.

“This is a game that I feel we can win, of course we can, but this is a team that will have a go, they’re not a sit back and deny you space merchants, they can do that – second half against Belgium they did.

“But they will come at you, and beware, this is not as easy as it sounds.”
