AMSTERDAM — Wales captain Gareth Bale cut short a post-match interview when asked about his future in international football after his country's crushing 4-0 loss to Denmark in the last 16 of the European Championship on Saturday.
Manager Robert Page later labelled the question insensitive and said 31-year-old Bale had done the right thing to walk away from the pitchside interview.
Kasper Dolberg marcó un doblete ante Gales y cada vez que celebró su pelo se suspendió en el aire, en una forma que recuerda el mito griego de Medusa y sus serpientes, las que convertían en piedra a todos quienes la miraran.
La imagen, además, tiene un vínculo con lo que pasó en el campo. Dinamarca arrolló a una selección galesa que parecía tener estatuas de piedra en su defensa.
There’s no doubt about it, Denmark is the fan favorite at Euro 2020. After Christian Eriksen’s terrifying cardiac arrest in the Danes’ first group-stage match, the soccer world has rallied around Denmark. Now there’s something special happening with the Danish team, which against all odds has reached the quarterfinals after a 4-0 win over Wales on Saturday.
Denmark is fighting for something bigger than tournament success and has the strength of an entire nation behind the team. Denmark will look to do Christian Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest in Denmark's opening game, proud in the Round of 16, while Wales will look to recreate the magic of 2016 when the team made a remarkable run to the semifinal. The opening Round of 16 game of Euro 2020 kicks off this weekend.
The Premier League said on Friday it is funding defibrillators at grassroots clubs and facilities to save lives if someone suffers a cardiac arrest in the wake of Christian Eriksen's collapse at the European Championship.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder collapsed in Denmark's group opener against Finland. His life was saved when CPR was administered to him on the pitch and his heart was re-started with a defibrillator before he was taken to hospital.
The end of the group stage at a major international tournament is always a bittersweet moment. No longer are we treated to a feast of two-to-four matches per day, but with the knockout rounds beginning you’re left with the best teams going head-to-head in win-or-go-home matches. With that in mind, here are The18’s Euro 2020 Round of 16 predictions for the eight matches we can’t wait to watch.
The European Championship is entering its knockout phase and the following is an overview of the remaining 16 teams:

In the immediate aftermath of Christian Eriksen’s collapse after suffering cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland, Danish captain Simon Kjær earned admiration around the globe for his actions.
Nunca una selección que perdió sus dos primeros partidos en la fase de grupos había clasificado a la segunda fase de la Eurocopa. Nunca. Hasta hoy.
Detrás del milagro estuvo Dinamarca, el equipo con más carga emocional en todo el torneo.
On Monday, an unreal 90 minutes unfolded that will be remembered by Danish fans forever. For Denmark to finish second in Euro 2020 Group B, the Danes needed a victory against Russia, Belgium to defeat Finland and some help on goal differential.
Belgium did its part against Finland in St. Petersburg.
