Austria really put up a good fight. I feel bad for them they played their asses off. If that goal wasn't called back by VAR...

Hard to see past France and Belgium for me.
Italy is in that class, imo. You can't score on them and they have legit world class golden generation scorers. (Immobile, insigne, locatelli)

England and Germany would start a second tier that have the goods to win it even if they aren't the best this time around, or playing their best yet.

Denmark vs Czech Republic should be a good one. Pretty cool that one of these teams is guaranteed to be in the semis.

People who know more than I do tell me that the red card on the Oranje was legit.

I was wondering. But I'm not that knowledgeable. I'd defer to @bearmick or others on this one. But the Dutch have never been known for their defense

Fast-Forward to the Portugal-Belgium game and there should have been a red card on the tackle of De Bruyne.

I didn't get to watch much, I was at the Atlanta United game. It was like watching the Bears offense. No offense to be seen.

100%. Deliberate handball preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity. Straight to the shower, no questions asked.

its been a long time since Iker Casillas manned that net for Spain, I guess

That 3rd Spanish goal was like watching Mel Tucker's defenses leave players completely uncovered for easy deep passes
