LISTEN: On today’s EUROS DAILY, all the reasons Three Lions fans have to be positive going into the last 16… and what to do next with Jude Bellingham

England look forward to their Euro 2024 last 16 clash against Slovakia on Sunday with renewed optimism.

Mail Sport is launching the ‘We’re backing England’ campaign across all platforms to encourage Gareth Southgate’s heroic stars on their journey.

On today’s episode of It’s All Kicking Off! Euros Daily podcast, Ian Ladyman and Craig Hope dive into the reasons to be positive ahead of this next phase.

Hope explains why the England team were encouraging – with all due respect to the other teams – and why we can laugh about the final minutes of the draw against Slovenia.

For Ladyman, we all need to move in the same direction: it’s time to ‘rest, banish our negativity, and shed our ominous cloaks!’

Plus, they talk all things Anthony Gordon and Phil Foden and analyse whether Jude Bellingham should keep his place in the starting line-up. Hope also recalls a rare meeting with him from his time at Borussia Dortmund.

They also dive into the news that Clive Tyldesley’s ITV career is coming to an end, with some words of praise for the iconic commentator. They also tell us why Sam Matterface deserves his shot at the top of the game.
