Hungary v France was a lively game

Great to see and hear a thronged stadium of people singing for their team again, 67000 people, brilliant crowd

It's a shame only 25% stadium capacity in other nations, need the fans back for morale and atmosphere

With Portugal losing to Germany last night I'll make the effort to watch the France v Portugal final match in the " Group of Death ".

With talk of the semi finals and final being moved from London, Hungary would probably be the best alternative given the atmosphere in the stadium.

Yeah plus the Magyar have vaccinated virtually 100% of urban areas and 70% of their population so there's no fear of covid it would seem

We'll have to wait and see what happens there in 4 weeks time. Hopefully case numbers don't rise.

Shock defeat for the French team !

Switzerland win 5-4 on penalties
France 3-3 Switzerland (4-5 pens): Swiss win on penalties after Euro 2020 classic
By Emlyn BegleyBBC Sport
Last updated on 28 June 2021

Kylian Mbappe missed the crucial kick as Switzerland beat France on penalties in the Euro 2020 last 16 after a classic European Championship game.

The Swiss had been seconds away from elimination during 90 minutes but go through to face Spain after progressing from a major tournament knockout game for the first time since 1938.

Haris Seferovic headed the Swiss ahead and they had a penalty saved that could have made it 2-0 before Karim Benzema scored twice and Paul Pogba put France 3-1 up with a screamer.

Seferovic headed in his second goal of the game for Switzerland and substitute Mario Gavranovic hammered in a last-minute equaliser to send the game to extra time.

Mbappe missed a couple of big chances for the world champions in extra time and Olivier Giroud had a header saved in the final minute.

Paris St-Germain forward Mbappe was the only player to fail to score in the shootout, after an excellent Yann Sommer save.

Switzerland play Spain, who also came through a thriller - 5-3 after extra time against Croatia - in the quarter-final in St Petersburg on Friday.

This is the biggest shock of Euro 2020 so far, with world champions France having been tipped to win the tournament by 12 of 15 BBC pundits before it started.

Well played England!

Was a bit dubious when they played 5 at the back, two DM's and left £100 milly attacking talent on the bench but they got it done well

Sterling is a sharp dude
