I said that Spain and Croatia had the greatest game in the tournament so far. I retract that statement.
France and Switzerland battled late into the Bucharest night to tie 3-3 and Switzerland won on penalties 5-4. The massive upset has some critics looking at Kylian Mbappe.
This Spain own goal vs Croatia is going to go down as the craziest mistake of Euro 2020.
Spain had their metaphorical hand snatched on Croatia’s scruff for the opening 20 minutes of Monday’s Round of 16 clash. Sitting in almost total control, the only worry for Spain was a Croatia counterattack. Or so they thought.
If someone watching the game looked away for a split-second, they would have missed this unbelievable error from Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón. A simple back pass from Pedri turned disastrous.
Apenas terminó el duelo de octavos de final ante Gales, el entrenador de Dinamarca Kasper Hjuldmand levantó sus brazos para celebrar el contundente 4-0 que los puso en los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020. De paso, las cámaras revelaron un pequeño fashion faux pas: el suéter que llevaba tenía un agujero significativo justo en la axila.
Uruguay venció por 2-0 a Bolivia y aseguró su paso a los cuartos de final de la Copa América 2021. Los charrúas no tuvieron muchos problemas e incluso pudieron marcar un tercero en los descuentos del segundo tiempo.
Sin embargo, Maxi Gómez.
El delantero del Valencia, quizás afectado por el mismo mal que sufre Álvaro Morata en la Euro, desperdició una oportunidad increíble: frontal y con el arco vacío.
Termina el encuentro entre Bolivia y Uruguay
Poland bowed out in the group stage of a major tournament for a second straight time after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Sweden on Wednesday. In the most ironic fashion, the one thing the denied the Poles from glory was a pole.
Only a victory would do for Poland on Matchday 3. The game got off to the worst possible start by conceding one of the fastest goals in Euro history.
¡Gooooooooool de Suecia!
As a Newcastle United supporter, I’ve spent a large portion of my life telling anyone and everyone how Martin Dúbravka is the most underrated goalkeeper in the Premier League. The 32-year-old Slovak is a world-class shot stopper, but most of those keepers come with the caveat of “prone to the odd howler.”
Not Dúbravka.
At least not until Wednesday when Slovakia met Spain in its Euro 2020 Group E finale.
Álvaro Morata is always in the right areas as a striker. He just can’t quite figure out the finishing when his team needs it most.
Morata, who misses more chances than most players ever create, will rue a missed opportunity on a rebound off the post as Spain huffed and puffed to a second straight draw at Euro 2020, this a 1-1 with Poland on Saturday. Not even a first-half goal from Morata will help us forget this latest miss.
