With a 0-3 win against Romania, the homeland team confirmed the quarter-final match. On the other hand, Turkey won 1-2 against Austria and qualified for the quarter-finals. The teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals from the round of 16 are really strong and have worked hard to get this far, but the next matches will be more interesting for each team.

Spain Vs Germany

Portugal Vs France

England Vs Switzerland

Netherland Vs Turkey

Turkey is very surprising, isn't it? I was successful with betting on Türkiye. I don't know why, but with their promising performance, they certainly deserve to qualify for the top 8. Austria played an outstanding game dominating the field but Turkey defense was difficult to penetrate. Arda Guler once again became his opponent's nightmare, Arda movements made it difficult for the Austrian defender. The 2 goals scored by Demiral were extraordinary, the first minutes were executed perfectly. Another second goal from Arda Guler corner was successfully completed with a header.

Austria in the group phase managed to beat the Netherlands and in terms of quality, Austria was hungry to admit that they lost to Turkey, indicating that Türkiye would be a threat to the Netherlands in the future. I think it is not impossible that the Netherlands needs to be wary of Türkiye ambitions, because their qualifying for the top 8 is a new historical record.

Well, Turkiye set up very well against ragnick's strategy. And when you get that first-minute lead, and it was a game over when it comes to the knockout round. Austria's strategy thrives on midfield turnovers. Turkey made sure that, if they lose the ball, there are at least 4 or 5 at the back to prevent it.
Austria played well today; However, their poor finishing cost them a place in the quarterfinal. But unlike other matches, Turkiye and Austria made football exciting to watch.

And big kudos to the turkiye team, with that excellent save by their goalkeeper at the end, and they deserved it. And last, turkiye deserved after all of their efforts in this game

Turkey managed to get an incredible win. With the legendary reflex of our goalkeeper Mert Günok in the last minute, we did not give this chance to Austria, who had a chance to take the match to overtime in the last seconds. Even though we did not play very well from the beginning, we managed to win the match. With 2 goals from defender Merih, we managed to win this match and qualify for the quarterfinals. The next opponent will be the Netherlands.

Cristiano Ronaldo is great and never gives up, but his failure to take a penalty kick at that time really disappointed the audience, especially Portuguese fans. and I actually felt sad when I saw Ronaldo because he failed to execute the penalty kick and it was clear on his face that he was very sad because he failed to execute the penalty kick.

But yes, Cristiano Ronaldo proved capable of avenging his failure while playing in extra time by scoring a goal in the penalty shootout. But unfortunately Oblak couldn't play well in the penalty shootout, even though he performed well when he played time normally and. It's a shame that Slovenia couldn't take advantage of this golden opportunity. Of course, if Slovenia wins, they will please the Slovenian people and advance to the quarterfinals. but of course I think Slovenia is very great because they have fought as hard as they can.

Yes, I also admire Diogo Costa because he is very skilled at defending Portugal and indeed he deserves to be called a hero for Portugal because of course the saves he makes are very good. Of course we also saw that the Portuguese players did not give up and their mentality was better than Slovenia. Yes, for the next match, of course it would be a shame if you didn't watch France against Portugal and of course the next match will definitely be even more exciting.

It's exactly painful, really painful.
Yeah, it was definitely an accident and no one expected that. However, it was still a mental pressure for him. Really, they were very unlucky at that time.

At least, we really saw a tense and tight match. In fact, it was quite difficult for each of them to break through the opponent's defense at that time. And this is what makes us so excited when we see it, it makes us curious about who will be able to score first. Because at that time, even though France had a higher chance to attack, they could still be pushed over and even their shots on target were the same, but two were quite impressive. If there wasn't this OG, it's possible that they would really take a very challenging penalty shootout too.

The bookies underestimated Turkey and gave them a high odd, I almost bet on Turkey because I have this confidence in them that they will qualify to the quarter finals because of their game tactics and commitment. When Turkey took the lead, I was expecting Austria to equalize but instead Turkey scored their second goal, that was when I knew that there is no hope for Austria.

Austria performance has being brilliant since the beginning of this tournament but they were unable to equalize the last goal which sent them home from the competition. I don't think Turkey will survive the next round.

The Turkey-Austria match ended 2-1 and we won. I think most people were not expecting this result but we won.
Melih Demiral was the star of the night, he scored 2 goals and won the match for us.
Mert Günok made a very good save at the last minute, if he had scored we would have probably lost the match in extra time because our guys were very tired.
Wait for us Netherlands, you are next. I hope we will beat Netherlands in the quarter finals.

Something I noted though but paid less attention to it, which ever way it’s spelt, it still sounds Turkey and depending on how it’s used, we would know which one is being referred. However, Türkiye seems cool and it just needs some getting used to.

Australia vs Türkiye today wasn’t an enthusiastic watch for me, it was a carefree watch for me although, Türkiye played well and the win was well deserved, leading right into the half time and scoring yet another goal in the second half before Australia got a chance. Could have easily taken a bet on them as the odds was still 1.75 for Türkiye to win at halftime, even with them leading by a goal but, wasn’t ready to loss. I could have won however.

Was still writing Turkey and had to come back and edit for Türkiye. Talking about getting used to the norms as we have it now.

Turkey mentally players gradually strong because after lost from Portugal with huge scores 3-0 Turkey can able to bounce back and they can beat Czech in the last match of group stages which make them can advances to the round of 16 against Austria and actually before the match against begin i was pesimistic Turkey can able to overcomes Austria even my prediction is Austria potentially can beat them because during group stages Austria performance is much better compared than them

But clearly i was wrong about that because Turkey performance today is very fantastic that they have strong balanced to defense and attacking which makes Austria have to hard struggling to broke their defense even Turkey was leading the match by Merih Demiral goal in early minutes of first half and correct me if i am wrong i think goal from Merih Demiral could being an the fastest goal during this tournament because within minute he can make Turkey to leading the game but next match would be more hard for Turkey because they will fight against Netherlands and i think we cannot underestimate again Netherlands because they are in the good shape especially after beat their opponent Romania with huge scores

Say goodbye to Turkey and hello to Türkiye. It's been like this for at least two years, I guess you haven't heard of it. Of course, it is still a habit, even our citizens continue to say Turkey, but actually it is just Türkiye.

If I had to talk about the match in the last 16 rounds. It was a match that I was excited about every second of it. I haven't seen our national team play so focused and clear lately. We knew that Austria was not an easy team, they came first despite which teams were in the group they were leading, and it was not a coincidence that it was because they played well.

The player of the match was Merih. Even though he was a defender, he scored two goals and was selected as the player of the match. He had a very good match. It was good to see Arda Güler starting the match in the first 11. He played well in the future, played a well-pressured game, in fact the whole team was like that.

France football team qualified for Quarter final . France  football team played brilliant in this match and won the match easily by1-0 . France team did 1 goal and Belgium team could not do any single goal but both teams played well and tried their best to win this match. France team attacked very well and whole team was in attacking position and no player played individually and all players played like team and they won the match due to team effort.Vertonghen did one and only goal of that match and that goal decided that France team will win this match. The stat of France team is wonderful than Belgium team because they gave 609 passes and that was a good score and the passes of Belgium team was only 496.

 A glorious night for all of Turkey; not just the players as they qualified for the next round. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw them defeat a very stubborn Austria and even more so that they were able to do this with no much tactics to speak of, just defend and press on the counter when they have the chance, unlike Austria who were more rounded.
 Football is really an unpredictable sport that's why it's not always safe to bet on the favorites of any match as things can turn around.
Turkey before the tournament began were not able to convince fans with their performance as they were shaky and no one would have tipped them to even make it to this stage.
I feel that it's the teams you least expect to prove something that will shock spectators in this tournament. Judging by the big names that qualified to the next stage, I doubt Turkey will be able to celebrate their victory for long so they just have to celebrate now as long as they can.

And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey

ps, why do English portals spell Turkey as "Türkiye"?? What kind of nonsense is that?

Turkish National Team Players stated that they did not forget the 6-1 defeat played in March when they were paired with Austria and that this time would be different.
Austria lost the match 2-1, in which they were the favorites of all authorities.
Merih Demiral, who scored 2 goals and currently plays in the Arabian League, was chosen as the man of the match.
Turkey's next goal is to beat the Netherlands and reach the semi-finals.
 There's one more thing about this match. Worldwide bets on Austria have reached billions of dollars, and betting companies are more than happy with this result.
It was a surprise for me that Turkey won the match.

I have not seen a match that the goalkeeper was so determine to win the game for their nation as the match between Portugal and Slovenia. Without Diago Costa, Portugal campaign would had ended on a very sad note but still I am not convinced with Portugal campaign this competition. Ronaldo has not scored since the tournament started and that is unlike him, Portugal are not very convincing and I am beginning to feel that their time is the competition is about to end. They got lucky in the last knockout game but maybe next time they would not be that lucky. Ronaldo missing tha extra time penalty that would had won them the game, showed me that they might not be the team to win this competition unless their fate turns around.

I never underrated Turkey since the beginning of the tournament, and them qualifying ahead of Australia is surprising but they deserve it because they put in more effort to defend themselves.

Nevertheless; the competition has so far been an interesting one, we have seen surprises from several team up till this stage, I think it is time for Champions to prove themselves.

At this junction, I don’t know who to support but I will be supporting Germany because I am expecting some good results from them especially as they are the host of the tournament.
Agin, England despite their poor performance so far might make it to the final too.

It was an unforgettable night for us.    I thought we would have huge difficulties against Austria after examining their game until this match. However we started really strong by an early goal. After that we did our best defending in the tournament so far in the 1st half. We preferred to focus on maintaining the score advantage later. Austria were really dangerous but our goalkeeper did an amazing job. Now Netherlands is our opponent in the quarter finals. I hope this fairytale doesn't end in this round. 

This match was full of emotion and very tight. Yes, you could say winning the penalty shootout was luck, but if you look closely, it wasn't just luck, but thanks to Diogo Costa's epic performance. Despite being the most underrated player in penalty shootouts, he proved himself to be the best goalkeeper in Portugal's history because he made three consecutive saves.

Yes. Maybe if Diogo Costa doesn't perform well in the penalty shootout, Ronaldo will be the cause of Portugal's defeat. However, it must also be acknowledged that Diogo Costa can perform well because he has a captain who has an unquestionable mentality. When he missed a penalty in extra time, he regretted it to the point of crying, but during the penalty shootout he still took the first penalty kick for Portugal, and scored a goal which ended with a gesture of apology to the supporters. Portugal's next opponent is very tough, namely France, I'm curious how far Portugal will go in the Euros this time.

There was nearly a 4 goal just before the end, it was extremely close. The header from Baumgartner was well saved by Günok. The ball was so close to/in the goal, a last second move like that makes him a winner. Turkey are now through to the next round and have to play against a very strong Dutch team. I would bet on Holland in this game, they are currently playing very good football and Gakpo has already scored 3 goals in 4 games, he has a strong streak. I would currently see Germany, Spain and England as the favorites to win. Im happy to see how the teams play this weekend.
