Jan Oblak so far has been one of the most important leaders of the Slovenian team because his great experience in Spanish football with Atletico Madrid makes him one of the players with the longest career in the elite of European soccer, also, Oblak is a player who is characterized by giving security to an entire defensive saga because he is a goalkeeper who generally does not give rebounds or allow balls to reach his goal because he knows how to manage his defensive area very well, so England will have to manage to beat this goalkeeper.
Luis Andrés Miguel HernándezLive reporter
This is how Slovenia came out in their last match:
J. Oblak; Z. Karnicnik, V. Drkusic, J. Bijol, E. Janza; P. Stojanovic, A. G. Cerin, T. Elsnik, J. Miakar; A. Sporar, B. Sesko.
Luis Andrés Miguel HernándezLive reporter
England orchestrates a very nice collective soccer that has ended up giving them great results in the last international games, but for the orchestra to work they need a conductor, and this is Jude Bellingham, the midfielder who finds the way to make the ball circulate throughout the Slovakian team, also, his great international experience, helps to know how to face this kind of matches.
Luis Andrés Miguel HernándezLive reporter
This was England's last starting XI:
J. Pickford, K. Trippier, M. Guehi, J. Stones, K. Walker, D. Rice, T. Alexander-Arnold, P. Foden, J. Bellingham, B. Saka, H, Kane.

The 90 minutes of a great game will be played here.
The RheinEnergieStadion is a soccer stadium located in Cologne, Germany. It is home to the soccer team 1. FC Köln. The original stadium, known as the Müngersdorfer Stadion, was inaugurated in 1923. However, it has been renovated and rebuilt several times over the years. The last major renovation was completed in 2004, just in time for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Germany. The modernization of the stadium was part of the preparations for this global event. The RheinEnergieStadion has a capacity of approximately 50,000 spectators for soccer matches. The name "RheinEnergieStadion" comes from the local energy company RheinEnergie AG, which acquired the naming rights to the stadium.

Nobody would have imagined that for this date 3 of the group stage, Slovenia would arrive with real possibilities of being able to get three points and qualify as second or even first of the group in a group where it seemed that Denmark and England would pass in pure formality, however, the reality is that Slovenia today have the possibility of sealing their ticket to the next round against a world champion that by the way, can be eliminated today, putting a real blow on the table for all participating teams of this Euro 2024.

They want to return to the final and this time win it.
Three years ago, the defeat at Wembley against Italy hurt the English a lot, in a surprise Eurocup where England pulled out all the stops to manage to reach the Grand Final of a tournament that was delayed by the COVID 19 pandemic and when the time came to play it, It was impossible for the English not to get their hopes up about lifting the most important trophy at the national team level in Europe, the scenario was perfect, to be crowned in your own home and on the turf where soccer was born and spread to the rest of the world. However, the outcome was fatal after a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes and defeat in a penalty shootout. Now, three years have passed since that moment and one of the best generations in England have once again excited a whole country after summoning great figures such as Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Kyle Walker, Declan Rice and many more that I could name, since they are currently considered the best in the world in their position, an argument that was demonstrated after beating Serbia by a final score of 1-0, to debut on day 3 of the group stage with a victory while God Save The King was playing. Today, England could seal their participation in the round of 16 and secure their stay in Germany for one more match, but to do so, they will have to beat a Slovenia that in the last four years has only dedicated itself to surprise the soccer world with great performances in international tournaments.
Luis Andrés Miguel HernándezLive reporter
Many of us still keep in our memory the emotion of having witnessed the two-time champion of Spain in Euro 2008 and 2012, with that generation that marked many children with their great soccer that led them to dominate any international competition, or the great way that resorted the Portugal of Cristano Ronaldo in Euro 2016 to beat the Hosts, with the anthem of This One Is For You that became a theme of blessed nostalgia when talking about the first international title achieved by the commander with his national team, or the reign of the Italian national team in Euro 2020 played in 2021 by Pandemic, and that in a historic Euro that was played throughout Europe, Italy reached Wembley to be crowned again in the old continent, no doubt, are many and beautiful memories that brings this party, and the time has come to live a new edition full of many goals and feats.
