What To Expect From the Remainder of the Euros

Well, it’s been a rollercoaster of a ride for football fans all over Europe during the Euros. England were in fine form: Disappointing, then surprising , then disappointing everyone again. Ronaldo and Portugal were on their way to having a nightmare of a tournament, only to pull it out of the bag at the end, and Germany was as efficient as ever, comfortably sailing through to the next round.

Now, what can we expect from the rest of the competition? Well, with England making a fool of themselves, Iceland is the wild card, with the odds highly against them.

Germany looks like a well-oiled machine, and it’s not often they make mistakes. However it wouldn’t, if it were to happen, be the first time Germany fell asleep at the wheel. Making matters worse, Germany has never beaten Italy in a tournament match.

With both Wales and Belgium looking as fine as ever, it’s going to be a tight match —hard to call the outcome. With Eden Hazard weaving in and out of the opposition, it’s safe to say he’ll be the one to look out for in this match. Bale’s free kicks are something for Belgium to be worried about, though.

Poland and Portugal are an unlikely duo. Lewandowski, et al., have been great opponents, just inching past Switzerland in the last game in penalties. Portugal was lucky to win their last game against Croatia, and they really exposed some weaknesses. With this game it’s anyone’s guess.

With all teams pushing to the limits to win this competition, it looks like 2014 World Cup winner Germany is the favorite to leave with the coveted trophy.
