Euro 2024: Quarterfinal Fixtures, What Chance Each Stand To Make Next Round

Starting with Spain, going head to head with Germany starting in Friday after a big victory (4-1) over Georgia, that gave the Spanish side a strong hold move to next round of 8th in the Euro 2024 on going games.

In a bad omen for Switzerland, they haven't beaten Italy since winning a World Cup qualifier in 1993! till this resent clash. It turns around that Switzerland knockout the reigning champions! What a big offset in this on going Euro game?

In another interest game, England's Jude Bellingham scored a bicycle kick in the 94th minute before Harry Kane scored the winner in extra time as the Three Lions survive a scare against Slovakia. They have players from one of the best clubs in Europe but they have found their progression really challenging. 

Looking at Kolo Muani's late goal in the 85th minute, that sent France through to the quarter-finals in a very poor game against Belgium, France have barely won any game emphatically. Interestingly, France have scored most of their goals from either a deflection or an own goal. They have scored a total of three goals and two of those were from own goals - Kylian Mbappe is the only player to have scored so far. 

Portugal have been remarkable from the started. They lost their last group game to Georgia (2-0) and narrowly defeated Slovenia in the Last 16: Diogo Costa saved three penalties to see the side through by the way, their star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo lost a penalty that could have rescued the side from going the distance. He later scored in the shootouts. 

Cody Gakpo gives Netherlands their lead before Malen double it and sealed them with the finishing goal againstRomania (0-3). So far, the Liverpool man has been a strongman in the Dutch team and alongside him is Memphis Deepay. It appears the Dutch has handful of players they can bank on at the front and at the back with the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Aké. 

Another team in the Last 8 is Turkiye. Credit to Merin Demirel for the two goal that gave Turkey the lead to reach the quarter-finals. They have been impressive through the Championship. Though their Last 16 game victory against Austria was neat it was tough and not as thorough as it might sound.
