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

Mail Sport is launching its 'We're backing England' campaign across all platforms to encourage Gareth Southgate's swashbuckling stars on their way.

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

Hope explains why England's side of the draw is encouraging - with all respect to the other teams - and why we can smile at the last few minutes of the draw against Slovenia.

For Ladyman, we all need to be pulling in the same direction - it's time to 'have a rest, banish our negativity, and throw off our cloaks of doom!'

Moreover, they talk all things Anthony Gordon and Phil Foden and dissect whether Jude Bellingham should keep his place in the starting XI. Hope also recalls a rare meeting with him from his days at Borussia Dortmund.

They also dive into the news that Clive Tyldesley's ITV career is coming to an end with some fond words for the iconic commentator - but also tell us why Sam Matterface deserves his chance at the top of the game.
