It was not the day for Portugal and Netherlands. I predicted that both of them should win but they did not.
In the first match, when the red card was shown to Netherlands, they become short of one player and then they never recovered from there.

Portugal tried hard to level the score but unfortunately could not do so. I was very sad from the result from both the matches,
After Wales had to go home due to a big defeat against Denmark, then the Netherland and Portugal also unexpectedly also lost their respective match. I feel Portugal and Holland are favorite to qualify for the quarter-finals, but unfortunately they were not able to score in 90 minute of regular time so the quarter-finals were not for them. Congratulation to all the teams that made it to the quarter-finals. I saw so much disappointment from Ronaldo fans after Portugal lost and failed in the last 16.
Many wrong prediction about Netherland and Portugal because almost people will choose both country easy to next stage, but last night Netherland and Portugal have loss and go home early. I think Netherland is very bad performance tonight although success get three winning time on phase group they not power full when faced with Cech last night.
Things might have been inverse if Matthijs de Ligt hadn't not slipped up. However, it's true that Czech Republic players played like a team. Terrible for the dutch however an important day for Czech fans. I lost my bet, got my lesson here is respect each and every team that's in this tournament. Euro 2020 is not for the defending champions. Sad thing this is Cristiano's last match in Euros we have witnessed.

Tactically a very good game yesterday by the Czech Republic and deserved to win even if unexpected. The Dutch had a very very weak game and after the red card no chance.

Portugal would have deserved the draw, they were for me especially in the second half the better team.

Netherlands was on top in their match, until Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt got the red card for trying to prevent the Czech counter-attack (he was initially given a yellow card, but after VAR it was upgraded to red). That triggered a chain reaction and Czech Republic took advantage of their numerical superiority. If Netherlands had 11 players on field, then in all probability they would have won yesterday's match. It was a very costly mistake which ultimately resulted in their exit from the Euro Cup.

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).

Patrick Schick is a surprise in the Euro 2020. He failed in Roma and and after despite of he used to be a interesting young player in Sampdoria. This Euro bring Schick to the spot light again. We can think of Schick as Milan Baros and I hope he will keep up this form after the end of Euro.

It will be a challenge for Schick but he can view Qualliagrella who mostly scored unbelievable goals (like what Schick scored in the Euro) but failed in many big clubs. In the end of career, he won the Capocannoniere in Serie A.

The gap among top scorers is closely and what teams can go further will help their main scorers have more opportunities to win the personal title. Lukaku looks to be the best here but Belgium need to beat Italy in the quarter final.

hmph..
in my opinion the netherlands made a lot of mistakes in this game, they had a chance to score first and wasted, and they were very clear opportunities that would have given the netherlands 2 goals too soon, and see that only 12 minutes were played, the netherlands was pressing but always fail, in a game when that happens, the team that is wasting the opportunity to score a goal always loses the game

Netherlands players are in too much of a hurry to score. It seems they are too confident with the results they achieved while in the group stage, so their game is not as effective as the previous match. While Czechs are more likely to play disciplined to maintain their defense and playing with effective attack. They were also able to maximize the red card received by the Dutch players and managed to make the public who believed in the Dutch victory silent.

With Portugal and Ronaldo out can anyone overtake his 5 goals tally?
Here are the closest scorers so far with Schick on 4, he has a chance to at least
equal Ronaldo's tally!

Player                                    Team                         Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo                Portugal                   5
Patrik Schick                     Czech Republic           4
Emil Forsberg                     Sweden                    3
Romelu Lukaku                   Belgium                     3

Lukaku has a fairly good chance as Belgium keep playing in the tournament. We can see new faces in this table as well. Schick can score one more time against Denmark but Czechia's chance is not much, they may get eliminated anytime. Benzema and Sterling can be here as well as Locatelli and Immobile. Havertz is another player to be here if Germany beats England. Cup games are not many so a few goals can make you at top. Just like Ronaldo with 3 penalties, it can change anytime.

Portugal were  unlucky in the last 20 minutes of the game  they had some dangerous chances like the one that hit the post i think bruno fernandes and c ronaldo played a bad game thats why they were not avle to equalize since they are scorers in laliga and serie A i think belgium team need to make some improvements so they can compete for the title.

I laughed, the two seeds didn't qualify for the next phase. Grin Portugal attempted kicks on goal more than 25 times but unfortunately Thibaut Courtois performed brilliantly. In addition, the Belgian defenders were also quite disciplined. I think Thibaut Courtois deserves to be the Man of the match of the Belgian victory.

For the Netherlands, I think they performed poorly. They were not able one shot on target towards the goal of the Czech Republic.

It's a shame to see c.ronaldo bow out of the tournament I the first knockout round, there weren't able to defend there previously won euro, and thunder could not strike twice as they had won the competition the last time from becoming the best losers in there group stage the last time. Congratulations to Belgium, I think they are one of those favorite right now to lift the tournament, because bits been rocky for the likes of the usual favorite like France, Germany and even Spain, my favourite at the moment are Belgium and Portugal.

The only fun part of the game was in the latest 20 minutes.
Nothing special about this Belgium.
The next game will be almost a final Belgium-Italy will be played this Friday in Germany at the Allianz Arena.
That's right. The match wasn't an exciting as I thought it would be but things got heated in the last few minutes because Portugal began to throw everything they had at Belgium but it wasn't enough. They had limited opportunities and couldn't find the net whenever they get an opportunity to score.
As for Italy vs Belgium. I can't say for now but one thing I know for sure is that I would he looking forward to the fixture. Italy has been one of the best teams in the tournament likewise Belgium. Imagine when they both go head to head. Too much uncertainty, I like it.
Belgium continues to play in economy mode, inflicting a minimum of shots on the opponent's goal and while this brings results, however, Portugal had its chances to move the match to extra time, but Mrs. Fortuna clearly did not notice the efforts of Cristiano Ronaldo and company. Belgium lost first de Bruyne and then Eden Hazard in this match due to injuries, and in case of the severity of these injuries, this may not play the best role in the upcoming match with Italy, especially since Italy, despite the longer time of the match, had one day more to restore the physical condition of its players.

Cristiano Ronaldo started well in the tournament and he was instrumental for Portugal to reach this stage and he was not able to score a goal today and they lost the match. You cannot single handedly win matches all the time and i wish he won a second Euro cup but that is not going to happen.

Congratulations to Belgium, I think they are one of those favorite right now to lift the tournament, because bits been rocky for the likes of the usual favorite like France, Germany and even Spain, my favourite at the moment are Belgium and Portugal.
My favorite to win the Euro cup this year is Germany and the dark horse is France.

I don't support Portugal, but I wanted them to equalize score - I wanted to see another 30 minutes of this game. End of game was great with drama and no midfield. Portugal were close to score, especially when they hit post. Though, Belgium had chances in transition, but Carrasco failed to give good pass.
unlucky day for me, i just needed another goal in the match but no side was able to do so even though both teams have one of the best attack players, well that's what happens in play offs sometimes, a goal is enough for a team to qualify.

We finally had the first upset of the KO stages, and I think apart from the red card talking point, fully deserved. Schick has got to be the man of the tournament so far if he takes Czech to the Semis, with a goal of the tourney still surely his (don't argue, that crazy inswinging halfway-line goal was a feat). And he'll deserve every bit of it.

Now, Lukaku and Ronaldo, remind us why we watch football please =)

Well Ronaldo didnt do anything exciting today, Lukaku had some good runs
and a half chance or two.

With Portugal and Ronaldo out can anyone overtake his 5 goals tally?
