Euro 2024 has almost reached the quarter-final stage, with the last two round of 16 matches – Romania vs Netherlands and Austria vs Turkey – taking place later today.
England are through to the quarter-finals already, after yet another unconvincing performance, this time against Slovakia, whom they beat thanks to two goals scored after 90 minutes.
The top half of the draw has now become clearer with Spain and Germany lining up a quarter-final with each other, while yesterday saw France overcome Belgium, thanks to a late own goal, and Portugal, including a tearful Cristiano Ronaldo, finally getting the better of plucky Slovenia via a penalty shootout.

The Dutch said getting to a quarter-final would be a par score for them at this tournament and they should manage it. Romania did well in the group but have their obvious limitations.
