5: Germany vs. Denmark, June 29, Dortmund
The hosts topped Group A which was to be anticipated however Julian Nagelsmann’s workforce nearly misplaced out to Switzerland which might have put them up in opposition to Italy.

The Scandinavians are to not be underestimated however it’s secure to say that they hype surrounding them within the 2020 version has been reassigned to different groups whereas Germany themselves have turn into infinitely extra watchable than they had been only a few years in the past.
4: Switzerland vs. Italy, June 29, Berlin
The Swiss are a nuisance at the perfect of occasions so Italy won’t relish developing in opposition to them right here after an unconvincing Group B exhibiting which solely resulted in second place with nearly the final kick of a ball in opposition to Croatia.

3: Spain vs. Georgia, June 30, Cologne

La Roja look excellent and are all of the sudden among the many favorites whereas Georgia have already made historical past in reaching this level. Nothing to lose for Willy Sagnol’s Georgian facet ups the stakes for the Spaniards who’re averaging nearly two objectives per sport up to now. Can the minnows upset the apple cart because of the type of their three key males Giorgi Mamardashvili, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze? Few would wager in opposition to them giving Spain a stern examination certainly.
2: Austria vs. Turkiye, July 2, Leipzig
Arguably the decide of the spherical of 16 video games options shock package deal Austria in opposition to their 2020 predecessors Turkiye. All of us bear in mind how an thrilling and gifted Turkish facet led by Burak Yilmaz stuttered and by no means managed to get going on the earlier Euro however this yr’s “darkish horses” below Ralf Rangnick managed to beat a slim opening loss to France to beat Les Bleus to prime spot in Group D which has set them up for a possible run to the semifinals on condition that the quarterfinals will deliver both Romania or the Nethrlands who already misplaced to Austria and got here third in Group D.
1. France vs. Belgium, July 1, Dusseldorf
Given its pedigree on either side and the rivalry between these two neighbors, France vs. Belgium is the decide of the spherical of 16 video games with each groups on this place as a result of they didn’t win their teams. Though the French are unbeaten, they’ve been removed from convincing whereas the Belgians misplaced unexpectedly to Slovakia and wanted a win over Romania and a draw with Ukraine to advance. Each side are stacked with expertise and each have to carry out after failing to hit the heights up to now so the scene has been set for this one to go off. Portugal or Slovenia await the winners which may very well be a rematch of the 2016 Euro last which noticed Didier Deschamps’ males overwhelmed on residence soil.
