UEFA Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals

The UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-finals have been decided, promising a series of thrilling matches. One side of the draw features esteemed football powerhouses, while a couple of surprise underdogs have also secured spots in the top eight, with potential to advance further. The tournament favourites - France, England, Portugal, Spain, and hosts Germany - remain contenders for the title. The Netherlands secured their place after a strong Round of 16 victory, while Switzerland and Turkey cannot be discounted based on their recent form.

The first quarter-final, scheduled for July 5, is set to be a highlight of the tournament so far. Germany and Spain, arguably the top two teams of Euro 2024 and the highest scorers, will clash in a match where one team's journey will come to an end.

Meanwhile, the potential game of the tournament might be the second quarter-final between Portugal and France. Their Euro 2020 encounter ended in an enthralling 2-2 draw, but both teams have yet to fully impress with their performances in this tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe have yet to dominate proceedings.

Switzerland have emerged as giant-killers this summer, narrowly missing out against Germany before comfortably dispatching defending champions Italy in the Round of 16. They now face England, whose progress has been bolstered by Jude Bellingham's standout performances despite some less convincing displays.

In the final quarter-final match, the Netherlands will take on Turkey. Turkey eliminated a strong Austria, while the Netherlands secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Romania.
