2 my favorite team isn't qualified, the Netherland playing badly, they can't continue to the next round same as Portugal did. Belgium is still playing compact but they sacrificed their 2 pillar players (De bruyne and Hazard) I hope their injuries are not serious for the next to continue match versus Italy.
One of my favorite teams (Portugal) got kicked out yesterday. I guess now I will have to support Italy. Among the remaining teams I don't like anyone except Italy, Croatia and Czechia (and Croatia are unlikely to qualify for the QF, as their PQF match is against Spain which is scheduled for today). Italy will be facing the no.1 ranked team in the world, so fingers crossed at the moment. And at the same time Czech Republic have relatively easier opponents in Denmark (not discounting the fact that they thrashed Wales 4-0).
Never really a fan of Portugal but looking at highlights you have to say they probably deserved to get at least a goal if not even win based on the number of chances, Belgium had one wonder shot but that's the quality that wins the games for people at this level I guess! They were lucky Lukaku seemed off form but then again, losing 1-0 is as bad as losing 3-0 when it's KO.
My bet is still alive on Spain but it's a tough match ahead of them here!
In such uncertain matches between top teams, usually one situation or a small detail decides.
Belgium managed to score a goal out of nowhere in a difficult and boring match without a real chance and that decided the winner.
The Netherlands did not take their chance and the punishment arrived very quickly and brutally.
As for the matches today, although Spain may be the favorite in the match against Croatia, it will be a very difficult match for them, and I think everything will be open until the end.
In the last 2 European Championships, Croatia and Spain played two very even and uncertain matches, and it will be the same today.
In the second match today, France is the obvious favorite against Switzerland.
