Euro 2024, England and Spain comeback: end of the dream for Slovakia and Georgia

Incredible overhead kick from the Bellingham phenomenon. The English will face Switzerland, while Spain will have to deal with Germany

ROME – England and Spain, the favorites ahead. But not without some thrills. Both had to overcome the “Cinderellas” Slovakia and Georgia to reach the quarter-finals.

The English will face Switzerland, Spain instead will have to deal with Germany.

The midfield was what dragged the ‘Red Furies’ against an excellent Kvaratskhelia, which had a hand in the own goal that gave Georgia the lead – they scored for the overtaking Rodri and Fabian Ruiz– and the arrow Nico Williams, who sealed the 3-1 which closed the games. Dani Olmo’s poker also arrived. Spain overwhelming in the end.

England, 1-0 down against Slovakia, were more than one foot out of the European Championships. The two most important players took care of bringing it back in: Belligham with an incredible overhead kick signed the equalizer with time practically up, making the fans sit down who were already sadly preparing to leave the stadium, and then Kane, in the first extra half, shattered the dream of Calzona’s team.

However, at least for now, Schranz’s three goals remain, also scored against England, which make him the top scorer of the tournament on a par with Georgian Mikautadze and Germany’s Musiala.

Two more round of 16 matches are scheduled for tomorrow. Perhaps the most interesting match will take place at 6pm in Düsseldorf, the one between the France of the ‘masked’ Mbappé and De Bruyne’s Belgium. However, all eyes will also be on Lukaku, a man on the market in Italy and still without a goal . At 9pm then, in Frankfurt, here is Portugal, with another awaited protagonist still chasing the first goal, Cristiano Ronaldo, ready to make history in his sixth European Championship. Slovenia permitting, the team reached the round of 16 without having yet won a match and also in this case with its goal man, Sesko, stopped at zero. The two winners face each other in the quarter-finals.
