So Germany followed by Sweden/Ukraine followed by Wales/Denmark/Netherlands/Czech Republic for a shot at whoever comes through the Belgium/Portugal/France/Italy/Spain showdowns, for England.

To think that finishing 1st was the worst possible route for England before the tournament began.

Spain finishing 2nd really swung things around. Germany go in favourites but that's definitely the side of the draw you'd prefer to be on

Is it just me or is there more standing off each other in game 3 in a 24 team tournament than a 16 or 32 teamer?
We did just see 4 games with 18 goals between them tbf. But you might be right in that there's an incentive to be cautious as you've got that 3rd place safety net.

I think there becomes a point in games where they just accept qualification. England and Czech Republic the day before the 2nd half was like that.

Last 10 mins of Portugal-France they just accepted 1st and 3rd

Pentugal. 3 pens in 3 games so far.

If Ronaldo ever came back to United and was the pen taker. Bruno would be sent on loan to Celta Vigo by Jan.
