Mark your calendars
Friday evening will see Spain and Germany meet in the quarter-final, in a rematch of the Euro 2008 final. Expect to see more than only one goal like there was in that game 16 years ago.
People are saying this could be the final. Maybe. Spain have looked far better but it’s a tough task going up against the hosts. I doubt either team is looing forward to this one very much.

It ended up being a really competitive race. Yamal, Williams and a few others could certainly make a case but the man who started the Spain scoring gets his hands on the player of the match prize.
Having Rodri in your line-up seems to be the key to winning trophies at club and international level these days.

Luis de la Fuente’s side come from behind to reach quarter-finals of Euro 2024, writes IAN HERBERT
A far greater challenge lies just up the road for Spain — Friday’s night last eight collision with Germany which looks like the de facto tournament final by any other name — so just as well that they go armed with prodigies on either flank.
The 16-year-old basking in limelight on the right, Lamine Yamal, has rather obscured the significance the talent of Nico Williams on the opposite flank, and in one moment of electricity last night, he revealed what the hosts are up against.
A precise long ball in his direction and the 21-year-old was sprinting away, leaving Georgia for dead with a ball into the roof the net which wrapped up a challenging night. The customary jig followed. That’s how you dispense with a defiant, indefatigable counter-attacking opponent.
