Georgia:

-How enlightening Georgia has been! They made an appearance in their first significant international competition, and their lively attacking football style lit up the competition.

Watching Willy Sagnol's crew has been a complete pleasure.

Netherlands:

-The Netherlands' start has been uneventful. The Oranje started the tournament with a fantastic comeback win against Poland, and they went on to preserve a clean sheet in a goalless draw with France before suffering a devastating 3-2 loss to Austria that left them as one of the better third-place teams. Cody Gakpo, who has scored two goals so far, has been a shining light.
Portugal:
-Group F champions
-Portugal started well in Germany, winning both of their matches against Türkiye and Czechia in dramatic fashion. Then, in a game they could afford to lose and ultimately did, Roberto Martínez had the luxury of rotating his players against Georgia. In his quest to score in six straight tournaments, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet opened his account.
Romania:
-Group E champions
-For the first time in twenty-four years, Romania advanced to the EURO knockout round, and they did so with flair, taking first place in Group E. Highlights were their 3-0 triumph over Ukraine, as Edward Iordănescu's team performed brilliantly offensively in front of their devoted Munich supporters. Their current objective is to match or surpass that renowned EURO 2000 squad, who advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to Italy.
Slovakia:
-Group E's third position
-With an early goal from Ivan Schranz, Slovakia stunned the odds and defeated Belgium in their opening match. They lost to Ukraine after that, but they persevered to get a point against Romania and, as one of the better third-placed teams, a spot in the knockout stages. Anybody facing Francesco Calzona's team will have a difficult task.
Slovenia:
-Group C's third position
-For the first time, Slovenia has advanced to the EURO knockout stage, and the scenes of raucous celebration following their draw with England demonstrated the significance of the achievement for the nation. The formidable Benjamin Šeško and the seasoned Jan Oblak in goal make the Reprezentanca a formidable opponent for defenders.
Turkey:
-Runners-up in Group F
-Turkey began the tournament with a victory against Georgia in Dortmund in a contest that had everything. It was one of the most interesting games of the competition. In the same arena, Vincenzo Montella's squad lost to Portugal, but they survived their third match against a ten-man Czech team, winning late thanks to Cenk Tosun.
