It was a proud moment for Slovakia to advance to the round of 16 for the second time in the last eight years.

Slovakia are ranked one of the best-ranked third-placed teams of Group E.

But the pressure is on as Slovakia are set to go toe to toe with England Sunday 30 at 5pm following a 1 – 1 draw with Romania.

When was Slovakia’s national anthem written?

It was originally a folk song written in 1844 by a student who was furious after his teacher was sacked, but it was later adopted in 1993 after the country split from the Czech Republic.

What are the lyrics to Slovakia’s national anthem?

Verse 1
Nad Tatrou sa blýska,
hromy divo bijú.
Zastavme ich, bratia,
veď sa ony stratia,
Slováci ožijú.

Verse 2
To Slovensko naše
posiaľ tvrdo spalo,
ale blesky hromu
vzbudzujú ho k tomu,
aby sa prebralo.
