Euro 2024 Round of 16: A Tale of Two Halves

A very challenging part…

The round of 16 will start on Saturday. Germany will meet Denmark that day. The hosts of the competition dominated Group A and challenge the 2nd in Group C, who kept this place thanks to their number of yellow cards. The winner of this match will meet the winner of the duel between Georgia, a pleasant surprise of this Euro 2024, and Spain, which showed its muscles in the group stage. The two teams will meet again on June 30.

In the second part of this table, France inherited Belgium to offer on July 1 a duel of great nations who have been struggling with their game since the start of the competition. The victorious team will face the winner of the duel between Portugal, 1st in group F despite its defeat against Georgia (0-2) on Wednesday evening, and Slovenia, best third from group C, which has not yet won a match in the competition. That’s it for the upper part of the table, where the favorites are numerous.

…The other much less

In the lower part of the painting, on the other hand, everything seems clearer. Switzerland and Italy have known for several days that they will compete for a place in the quarter-finals on June 29, and that they will then have to defeat England or Slovakia to reach the semi-finals.

Finally, Romania, which managed to finish at the top of group E, faces the Netherlands for the first final phase of a Euro in its history. And if the Oranje wake up, they could well find their tormentor from the group stage, Austria, in the quarter-final. The Austrians will have to beat Turkey in the round of 16 to hope for a repeat. On this side of the table, only England seems equipped enough to claim final victory, even if Italy or Switzerland are in ambush.
