I must admit it. Knock out stages are thrilling. There is not a second opportunity. If you fail, you go home.
We get here after a group stage with few surprises and disappointments. Perhaps Croatia going home early could be one of the surprises. Ukraine must be disappointed after being sent home with 4 points in the group.
We start this round with a Switzerland vs Italy (18:00 CET). Even though Swiss team has been playing well and finishing second at the Group A (with Germany), they play against Italy. We all know how they are. Competitive, tough and never surrender team. So, I think it is going to be a very tight match.
Then, later today (21:00 CET), we have the host, Germany, to play against Denmark. To be honest, it would be a big surprise if the Mannschaft does not win. They had a stellar start though have been losing some bright in the last two matches.
This is only the start to four days full of emotion and passion.
Let´s enjoy it.
Donnarumma’s show avoiding a bigger loss for Italy at halftime. Two big saves keep the result 1-0 for Switzerland and Italy still with chances.
Switzerland goes through to QF
That game surprised me. Switzerland is a good team, so I saw probability of them winning too, but didn't expect Italy playing so bad against them.
Not sure what they were playing at. Switzerland performed really well.
I have always loved football, the Euro Cup is really going to be very good.
Should be a couple good matchups. Hopefully Germany pulls out the win since I picked them to win the tournament.
If Denmark goes through to QF, it would be a major surprise. Bet Germany has to improve its game. It wasn’t a good performance the last match.
Germany 0 - 0 Denmark at halftime.
Germany goes through to QF (2-0 full time)
