England's Three Lions roar into the Euro 2024 knockout stage with grit but face mounting criticism after squeezing through Group C with just two goals scored. Defender Marc Guehi insists there's no such thing as a 'soft' path to glory after avoiding powerhouses like France and Germany early. 🦁⚽
Despite topping their group, England's 1-0 win over Serbia and two goalless draws left fans craving more attacking flair. Guehi – a defensive standout who helped limit opponents to one goal in three games – emphasized: Every team here is tough… We stay calm, focused, and take it step by step.

All eyes now turn to Sunday's high-stakes clash against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen. With midfield maestro Jude Bellingham yet to fully ignite and Harry Kane's form under scrutiny, will England level up? As Guehi puts it: We set our own pressure.
The knockout stage never lies. 💥
