June 27, 20214 yr Even first half for the most part. Not the greatest Dutch squad ever to take the pitch but they are serviceable.
June 27, 20214 yr The 'other' Hazard scores for Belgium. Nice strike as the ball sliced away from the keeper.

June 28, 20214 yr I admit I don't know most of Spain's players, at least not well enough. There was some bad D on both sides of the pitch today plus a total howler from Spain's keeper for the opening goal. Still, even in ET you don't see many 5-3 scores.
June 28, 20214 yr Looks like we're heading for another ET match. This time France blows a 3-1 lead late as The Swiss tie it up in the 90th minute. France are considered the favourites to win the tourney so if The Swiss can find a way then it's a huge upset.

June 28, 20214 yr So on one half of the bracket we have: Belgium v Italy Switzerland v Spain And the other half we have: Denmark v Czech Republic England/Germany v Sweden/Ukraine Seems Italy have played the best of the lot thus far, but it's one match at a time and anything can happen in that one match. I'm not seeing a clear favourite here. Denmark winning would be Cinderella story after what happened to Eriksen the first match. England is sort of like the 76ers here, with a path to the Final if they don't implode, but since '66 they keep imploding. Belgium v Italy is the premiere match 'on paper' for the next round.

I wasn't complaining about France getting knocked out. The pk reference was just an observation. I just hate pks. I agree with you that France deserved their fate for letting it get that far.
