England fans pack out bars in Magaluf ahead of the team’s first knockout game against Slovakia
SUN-loving Brits are getting ready for England’s first knockout game against Slovakia – with fans flocking to bars in Magaluf.
Pub owners are pouring barrels of beer as holidaymakers sink pints before the big match.
Three Lions supporters chanted “Come on England” before jumping into the water to cool down before the game as temperatures in the island are rising.
The Three Lions are set to face Slovakia for the Euro 2024 last-16 in Gelsenkirchen after claiming top spot in Group C.
The party vibe in Magaluf never stops and bar owners are expecting their pubs to be filled with England fans by kickoff time.
England fans are adamant the team will win tonight, with predictions suggesting Saka will be the most likely to score.
But Slovakian bartender at Linekers Bar, Lukas Betin, was positive his country will do well.
Pictured next to his Brit coworker Carla Ingham, he told us he thought Slovakia has a chance to win – even though he admitted ice hockey is the nation’s national sport.
Carla told The Sun she reckons the bar will be packed and she expects to go through a few barrels of beer throughout the day as Brits are preparing to celebrate England’s victory.
She said: “We usually get rammed in here for the football.
“Fingers crossed we’re going to win. Hopefully we’re going to be busy, we do get really busy for the football.
The bartender, from Yorkshire, who moved to Spain 20 years ago, predicted the score will be 2-1 to England.
Meanwhile, a group of 18-year-old lads having a swim at Magaluf beach, are positive England is going to win.
The boys from from Shenfield, Essex, said the game will be tricky but Three Lions will make it in the end.
Aza predicts Saka will score while his pal Cameron reckons Jarrod Bowen will be the one who’ll bring the victory.
He said: “Don’t think I’ll be convincing, but I reckon we’ll get over the line, win the game. I reckon, so.”
Pals Beth Widdop and Alicia Clark are also certain Gareth Southgate‘s men will bring a good result tonight.
“We’re gonna win. Obviously,” they said adding that Harry Kane will be the one to score.
