UEFA European Championship 2021

Nice to see two teams try to score and win in extra time rather than be cagey and risk penalties. Refreshing to see.
Well done Spain and Croatia.

another upset on the cards?? France losing 1 - 0

Had Croatia won and England win tomorrow there would have been three teams in the Quarter from the same group. I don't think that's happened before.
Both the World Champions and European Champions have only ever gone out in the euro knockout round once before last time it happened was 1968.

It was mention tonight on commentary that last week a group of French fans arrived in Bucharest to see the defending World Cup champion face Hungary at the Euros, only to find out the game was more than 500 miles away in Budapest.

Easily done.

Déjà vu of the first match. France have been pulled back by Switzerland to 3-3.
Same happened to Spain in the first game but they managed to get 2 more goals in extra time.
Bet no-one had two 3-3 results in the competition.

France v Switzerland, what a game so far, and some brilliant goals too.

To think Switzerland had a chance for 2-0 from the spot as well.
Then a recovery from 3-1 down. Goodness knows what happens next.

not many firms go to extra time/penalties either

first time in European Championships since 1968 that both the World Champions and efending European Champions have been knocked out in knockout Phase England were the last World Champions and italy were defending European Champions to lose back then. Maybe an omen?
