The group stage of Euro-2024 was loaded yesterday, with the last tickets in dispute for the round of 16, which ended up in the hands of Belgium, Georgia, Türkiye, Romania and Slovakia.
In Group E, Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine all finished with four points, but Ukraine fell to the bottom due to the worst goal difference (-2), and Romania finished first. This is a surprise, as they are among the weakest teams in the tournament.
The Belgians and Ukrainians worked for the victory, but the score remained 0-0, despite the fact that excellent scoring opportunities were created. It is confirmed that the Red Devils do not have the power of previous teams, despite the work of Kevin De Bruyne.
Key h had a closure with all the ingredients; Portuguese, Turks and Georgians are still alive, and the Czechs went home. The most modest team in the Euro, Georgia, is in the round of 16, beating, 2-0, a Portugal with eight luxury substitutes, along with its star, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Türkiye, in the last minutes, defeated the Czech Republic 2-1 and went from certain elimination to the round of 16, in a game of 16 yellow cards and two red cards.
The matches in the round of 16 reserved interesting disagreements, such as that of France vs. Belgium, or Germany vs. Denmark, and Italy vs. Switzerland, and Austria vs. Türkiye. Spain and Georgia, Romania against the Netherlands, Portugal against Slovenia and Slovakia against England complete this phase.
Favorites heading to the quarterfinals? French, German, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and English.
In the Copa América, Ecuador washed away the pale image shown in its debut against Venezuela, and achieved its first victory in the Copa América this Wednesday, against Jamaica, 3-1, in a Group B match, which eliminated the Caribbean team.
