After weeks of intense competition, Euro 2024 is quickly approaching its knockout stage. As the final round of group games kick off on Sunday evening, the remaining teams will battle it out for a spot in the Round of 16. While some have already secured their place, for others their Euro 2024 journey has come to an end.
England, currently sitting at the top of Group C with four points, seem to have a strong chance of advancing. However, they will need to avoid any slip-ups in their upcoming match against Slovenia to secure one of the four remaining spots for the best third-place teams. Let's take a closer look at which teams are still in the running for Euro 2024 and which have already been eliminated.
So far, three teams have guaranteed their spot in the Round of 16. Germany, playing on their home soil, have been dominant with wins over Scotland and Hungary. Meanwhile, Spain breezed through the so-called "Group of Death" with victories over Croatia and Italy. And Portugal, led by Roberto Martinez and their star-studded squad, secured their place with impressive wins against Czech Republic and Turkey.
Unfortunately, not all teams have been as fortunate. Poland, who started off strong with a 1-0 lead against the Netherlands, suffered two defeats in their first two games and are now the first team to be eliminated from Euro 2024. Despite having star striker Robert Lewandowski on their side, they were unable to secure a spot in the Round of 16. Their final match against France on Tuesday will be their last chance to leave a mark on the tournament.
As the group stage comes to an end, fans and players alike are eagerly awaiting the highly-anticipated knockout stage of Euro 2024. With some teams fighting for survival and others looking to continue their dominance, it's sure to be an exciting and unpredictable round of games.
