Football, they say is a game of two halves and this has been portrayed so far in the Euro 2020. The big teams with big names that many think will go far are stumbling. The unthinkable is happening such as a 8 goal thriller between Spain ๐ช๐ธ and Croatia ๐ญ๐ท or is it the unbelievable own goal by the Barcelona midfielder, Pedri in the 20th minute to give Croatia the lead.

Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ were the underdog in the match against France ๐ซ๐ท who happen to be the favorite but the greatest shock in the world of football happened last night when V. Petkovic's men knocked France ๐ซ๐ท out in penalties with 5 penalty kicked scored as against 4 from the French players. One key point that is worthy of interest is that two players scored a brace and that is quite rare in a game of this magnitude. Karim Benzema in the 57th minute canceled out Haris Seferoviฤ goal (15')and later hit with a second goal in the 59th minute. It is what is popularly referred to as the quick fire double. Paul Pogba, the Manchester United and France talisman was also on the scores sheet in the 81st minutes after a superb goal. In the 90th minutes, Gavaranovic leveled up the scores in a superb fashion and the match went ahead to extra time. Another shocker in that match is that Kylian Mbappe was the one that missed the penalty that knocked France out of the competition. What? It was very disappointing.
The actions continue today with England ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ vs Germany ๐ฉ๐ช and Sweden ๐ธ๐ช vs Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ. We hope to see some classic.
