EURO CUP 2016 Spoiler alert, results posted.

Winners that go through to QF's from this morning are - 

 

Portugal

Wales

Poland

 

I though Switzerland played very well with possibly the goal of the tournament so far from Shaqiri.

They were unlucky to lose by missing one penalty.

 

Portugal were lucky to win as Croatia missed many close ones including one off the goal post.

IMO Croatia made more opportunities.

 

And Gareth Bale played well as per usual, assisting the own goal from the Nth Irish. 

Bad luck Nth Ireland.

POLAND  -  PORTUGAL  quarter final was played.

 

A close game with stats being very similar and Portugal having 52% of possession.

Full time finished on 1 - 1 and extra time didn't bring any further goals to decide the outcome with Ronaldo missing some opportunities throughout the game.

 

Into penalties, Ronaldo made sure of his penalty kick even though he has surprisingly missed 6 of his last 7 penalties.

Blaszczykowski kicks and the portugese keeper makes a spectacular save.

Portugal win on penalties and will now meet the winner of tonights QF game between Wales n Belgium in one of the Semi-finals.

Well, what an upset. Wales 3  -  Belgium 1

The competition favorites Belgium were out done by the Welsh. Good on them.

This Euro Cup is seeing some minnows have their day, soooo refreshing.

 

Belgium scores the first goal with a clever and brilliant long range goal only to see Wales dominate the rest of the match to win in their best ever result.

 

Portugal v Wales in the first Semi-final played Thur 7th July 5am.

Germany v Italy 1-1 (5-4)

Germany advance to the Semi-finals after a surprising round of penalties. The regular penalty takers from both sides failed to score and nine penalty kicks each were needed.

 

France v Iceland 5-2

A convincing win to the home side but Iceland go home with their heads held high in their best ever result.

We may see this Icelandic team in the Russia world cup 2018.

 

Semi-finals are,

 

Portugal v Wales  July 7th, 5.00am

 

Germany v France July 8th, 5.00am

Results of the Semi-finals - 

 

Portugal 2 - 0 Wales

After an even first half, Ronaldo scores the first goal with a strong header then on the next makes a shot for goal and Nani deflects it in for the second goal.

 

Germany 0 - 2 France 

France wins an early questionable penalty kick and converts to make it 1-0. Then an error from the Germans make it 2-0.

Even though Germany hit the woodwork and had some great attempts saved, it wasn't to be.

 

The hosts France play Portugal in the final on Monday 11th, 5am.
