Italy although playing well,have yet to be really tested,the group of death teams have at least played 2 tough games each...(still fancy Belgium though...)

Netherlands don't look to have much of a defence but look great going forward, will that be enough against a strong team

Italy barely escaping against an opponent that was supposed to be inferior! They didn't look that good now.
Wales out in harsh fashion, I'm sorry Dillwyn. Surprising to see how Denmark turned into a completely different team the last two games.

If they play like that against Belgium/Portugal then it will be goodnight. I think Mancini will have them back to their best for that game though..

Surprising to see how Denmark turned into a completely different team the last two games Thanks Helmut, it was a young team and the 2nd goal was a killer (still believe it was a foul on Moore before they scored) and then they brought on even quicker youngsters that opened us up at the back .. so the scoreline is just a symptom of chasing the game. Good luck to Denmark, their players were lovely to our kids at the end of the game. I'm attaching Wales most capped player's tweet, take the trenches comment out as use of language. It is crazy we have travelled 3 countries and 6500 miles for games in a couple of weeks without fans, whilst other teams have played at home for three games straight. Not a great format Attachments:

Yeah, the organization of the tournament was atrocious and very uneven towards the different countries, I hope they don't repeat the same mistakes next time. Two fantastic games today. Me pointing out how Spain were historical disappointers only ensured that they came alive in the tournament. Today they were lucky to escape a narrow one against a very proud team. Later on Africa Combine Blue shat the bed against World Combine Red, probably because I said that they were my main candidate to win it.

Many Europeans tend to be a bit navel-gazing when it comes to football, but this Meunier dunce has taken it to a whole new level: today.in-24.com/sport/News/17066.htmlHe seems to have forgotten who knocked HIS team out of World Cup 2014, when they were supposed to be big candidates. Or maybe he needs a reminder of who kicked Belgium out in WC '86 semifinals, the closest they got to a World Cup final. Or maybe he isn't aware of the fact that Argentina has won 2 World Cups (and lost 3 other finals), and Uruguay 2 others, while Belgium has watched all finals on TV. Or maybe someone should tell him where the best player in the world was born, or whom the best player in history was. In any case, it would be a wonderful thing if luck wanted Belgium to meet Argentina during next World Cup so we can kick them out once more and Mr Meunier gets to widen his views on football the hard way.

France knocked out, oh dear never mind.... Thought the Swiss were excellent yesterday, ironic they missed a pen that should have cost them the match then win it on pens. As I said no easy games. Big match tonight, get your popcorn ready it could be a long one. Hope KP gets the winner.

The Swiss were superb, never allowed the French to develop any sort of rhythm. Like you said, the missed penalty didn't prove costly and Mbappe of all people missed with a shocker.
