Switzerland and Germany went through yesterday to QF. Germany did recover the strength from their first match and beat Denmark. It was a paired match right up to a couple of decisions from VAR. Denmark scored first though the decision was changed, due to a Danish player who played the ball before the goal was offside. Three minutes later, Germany was awarded with a penalty after a defender touched the ball with his hand in an unnatural position.
Three hours earlier, Switzerland managed to win their match against Italy, former champions of tournament. Italy did not play well at all and, thanks to Donnarumma, could stay in the match for a bit longer (incredible his save at minute 46). However Swiss team turned around things in second half and managed to go through to QF.
Today, we will enjoy again two matches. First, at 18:00 CET, England will try to improve their game against Slovakia. I hope that Southgate decides to attack from the beginning. He has the players to perform much better than they have done up to now.
Three hours later, 21:00 CET, Spain will try to join Germany in QF. They have a tough match ahead. Georgia, who have just made their debut in a Euro, are not going to leave this opportunity to shock the tournament and beat one of the favorites to be in next round. I hope to see a similar line-up from Spain to the first two matches, though players we watch in the third match of group stage performed really well.
Exciting Sunday we have ahead.
Enjoy the beautiful game!
Needed to do some stuff with my car, so couldn't watch matches live today, only followed in SofaScore.

I think England and Spain will win.

Yes, that would be a sensible bet. However, these days rivals are not easy. Both need to be focused on the task.
Spain must be careful with Georgia. A team with a top striker (Kvaratskhelia) and great goalkeeper ( Mamardashvili) will always have chances to go through.

Spain 1 - 1 Georgia at halftime

Halftime between England and Slovakia. The latter leading 1-0. It’s well deserved. 45 minutes ahead for England to avoid going home early.
