Strong start by England so far vs Croatia

Was bullish on the Dutch before this competition, but at this point if you're struggling to stay afloat vs (an admittedly good) Ukrainian squad, how can you fare vs England, France, or Belgium?

Of course it's international football, anything can still happen.

So in what I would describe as two modest upsets, the Czech Republic easily beat Scotland, 2-0, and Slovakia beat Poland 2-1.

Meanwhile, I'm watching the Spain/Sweden game, and I've got to say, Robin Olsen looks impressive in goal so far for Sweden. He's shut Spain's offense down through 45 minutes, in a scoreless game.

Absolutely superb job by Olsen up through the start of extra time.  Just look at the possession difference!!!

Scotland hold their own against England in a scoreless draw.  Great game to watch.  For the players?  Less so lol.

Switzerland wins on penalties!!!! Cinderella run???  Mbappe the first player to flinch, after nine(?) straight scores by both teams.
