Sixteen!
The group fixtures are over and the final 16 have scored their way to the next stage of this year’s EURO!
Here’s a low down on what’s been happening during the battle for glory so far:
Group A’s title was taken by Germany with 2 wins and a draw (5-1 vs Scotland, 2-0 vs Hungary and 1-1 vs Switzerland). As the host of this year’s tournament, they’ve had a strong start under the guidance of Julian Nagelsmann.
Spain took the top spot in group B with an impressive 3 win streak, prevailing against Croatia (3-0), Italy (1-0) and Albania (1-0). With such an impressive start, La Roja could be the ones to watch!
A 1-0 win against Serbia and 2 draws (1-1 against Denmark and 0-0 against Slovenia) put England in the top spot for Group C; not at their free-flowing best but taking the win nonetheless.
Ralf Rangnick’s Austria were the winners of group D, with 2 wins against Poland (3-1) and Netherlands (3-2) and only one loss against France (0-1).
A win, a draw and a loss was enough for Romania to top group E, finishing 3-0 against Ukraine, 0-2 against Belgium and 1-1 vs Slovakia. This is the first time Romania have reached the knockout phase of EURO in 24 years and they are doing so in style by winning the group!
The Group F winners, Portugal, beat Czechia 2-1 and Türkiye 3-0, putting them in the lead despite their 0-2 loss against Georgia. We have yet to see the best of Ronaldo having not hit the back of the net so far this tournament… watch the space.
This weekend, the next round of games will kick-off to determine who will make it through to the next stage:
• Switzerland vs Italy (Berlin, 29 June)
