After getting the win they needed to secure qualification from the group stages, England now face their toughest test so far in South Africa as they take on old rivals Germany in the last sixteen.
Jermain Defoe's first half goal was enough for England to secure a vital win over Slovenia in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday and setup a Sunday afternoon clash against Joachim Löw's side in Bloemfontein.
Despite the fact that the Germans topped their group and England finished second, our betting partner bet365 has made Fabio Capello's side slight favourites to win the game in the 90 minutes, at odds of 13/8. The Germans will fancy their chances going into the game and can be backed at 15/8, with the draw available at 21/10.
Both side's conceded just once in the group stage and England have now not coneded in 230 minutes of action. You can back England to win by nil in the 90 minutes at odds of 11/4, while Germany can be backed to win by nil at 3/1.
Defoe's first ever World Cup finals goal helped justify his selection ahead of Emile Heskey. You can back him to score the first goal at 8/1 and if you combine that with a 1-0 win in a scorecast, you get odds of 25/1.
The latest overall odds for the World Cup still have Brazil as favourites at 4/1, with both England and Germany available at 10/1.
