EURO Cup, Copa America, and Wold Cup Qualifiers

Belgium vs. Portugal
Italy vs. Austria
France vs. Switzerland
Croatia vs. Spain
Ukraine vs. Sweden
England vs. Germany
Netherlands vs. Czechia
Wales vs. Denmark

Some super ties there just in the round of 16. Don't expect Ukraine to beat Sweden after quite literally backing their way into the knockouts, but it's at least more winnable than France or Italy.

I think the bracket broke nicely for the Dutch, and the top half is definitely loaded. Croatia vs. Spain was a ton of fun in Euro 2016 group stage (Croatia won, 2-1). Belgium vs. Portugal will be an absolute doozy.

I think the QFs will be:

Belgium vs. Italy
France vs. Spain
Sweden vs. Germany (England will bottle it)
Netherlands vs. Denmark
 
Denmark winning in Copenhagen was awesome. The laser goal from outside the box after ping ponging off the keeper was epic. Such a win for that team and country. #10

today was euro-. the dutch should have won easily but didn’t come prepared and the red card killed it.

belgium/portugal - belgium was exhausted and fighting for their lives to defend in the 2nd half. damn that was fun for. 1-0 score
 
Croatia down 3-1 score two goals in 4 minutes to tie it up in extra time

I guess Czech Republic didn't get the memo! Heck of a game. Don't like Spain much but glad they are finally taking care of business in extra time vs Croatia who I like even less.

You don't like the team with a guy with a tattoo of a bomb on his neck?

And the Swiss were a cleaner first touch away from winning it
 
Absolutely dynamite! I kind of want the Swiss, generally I want the underdog
 
What a game!

That was incredible. No true affiliation for either team (although still bitter towards France for 2014 WCQ playoffs), but it’s always great to see the upset, and that’s what we had today.
 
England looking quite dangerous against Germany, but nobody is on the board yet.

Edit: The last 15 of the half has changed that. Germany finally getting some chances.

England and Germany pretty back and forth. I think England has the edge. Other than 1 chance, Germany just doesn't look that dangerous in the final 3rd. They need someone to really put pressure on the D.

Belgium, Italy, England. I think the winner comes from those 3. The bracket sucks. One of Italy or Belgium loses the next match. England 2-0, it's over.
 
Still think England came out too conservative. They didn’t get going until Grealish came on.
How a manager stashes Grealish, Sancho and Foden on the bench is borderline fireable
