ENGLAND fans are watching on anxiously as the Three Lions battle for an equaliser against Slovakia – with 15 minutes to save our Euros dream.

At home, thousands of people in England shirts have headed to pubs and fanzones for the knock-out match.
But it has been nervy – with snaps showing fans with their heads in their hands in the stadium.
Others have been drowning their sorrows with beer or wiping away tears at pubs and fanzones across England.
Earlier today fans had friendly chats with Slovakia fans or channelled their inner Judge Bellingham in kick-abouts.
People have also flooded Boxpark Wembley – where pints could be sent flying if England score.
And fans have also been enjoying the sunshine on Wembley Way and in cities and towns across the country.
Tennis ace Emma Raducanu was spotted heading for her Wimbledon warm-up in an England shirt.

Gareth Southgate needs to earn his hefty salary during half-time, that is for sure.
