¡Guaaa! Los lunes no suelen ser días palpitantes o desbordantes de emoción, pero la Euro 2020 vino hoy a hacer una excepción. Al thriller entre España y Croacia, añadió al menú una sorpresa mayúscula: la eliminación de Francia, último campeón del mundo, ante Suiza.
I said that Spain and Croatia had the greatest game in the tournament so far. I retract that statement.
France and Switzerland battled late into the Bucharest night to tie 3-3 and Switzerland won on penalties 5-4. The massive upset has some critics looking at Kylian Mbappe.
As the reigning world champion, France has all the pressure in the world. Even after finishing first in the group of death, fans are expecting more from Les Bleus. The question will be: Can Switzerland slow down the world champions or will Didier Deschamps’ side finally click into full gear. Here’s how we think it’ll go down with The18’s France vs Switzerland prediction, preview and how to watch guide.
While Paris Saint-Germain sweats over Kylian Mbappé's future at the club, his younger brother Ethan has signed a three-year youth contract until 2024, the Ligue 1 side said on Friday.
Ethan, 15, has played for PSG's youth sides in the past and joined Senny Mayulu in signing for the next three seasons.

The European Championship is entering its knockout phase and the following is an overview of the remaining 16 teams:

BUDAPEST — France striker Antoine Griezmann says he would like to see out his playing days in Major League Soccer to realize a long-held desire to live in the United States.
Griezmann, who is set to make his 50th consecutive start for France in Saturday's Euro 2020 game against Hungary, has long been fascinated with life stateside and is a keen basketball fan, often travelling to NBA games when he has time off.
Hungary played damn well for about 80 minutes against Portugal on Tuesday only to give up three goals late. On Saturday, the once-mighty Magyars put a full 100 minutes in and held world champion France to a 1-1 draw in one of the most impressive upsets of the tournament thus far. But forget the match for a moment, because the biggest story of the game was a pitch-side reporter’s reaction to Hungary’s goal. The Hungary desk woman is our new favorite meme of Euro 2020.
Week 1 of 4 of Euro 2020 brought plenty of goal-mouth action, but also some disappointing performances — especially from some tournament favorites.
While we're only just starting the second matchday of the group stage, it is never too early to make some broad and definitive conclusions about the action that has taken place thus far.
Here are the biggest things I noticed from the opening week of the Euros.
The pre-tourney favorites have been underwhelming — except for Italy (and maybe Belgium)
Quienes querían un partido lleno de acción seguro terminaron satisfechos luego de ver el clásico europeo entre Alemania y Francia. Hubo goles (válidos y anulados), un momento de intimidad entre Antonio Rüdiger y Paul Pogba, un activista de Greenpeace cayendo en paracaídas sobre el campo y, por supuesto, vimos a Joachim Löw con esa vieja y maldita costumbre de olerse los dedos después de habérselos metido quién sabe dónde.

The highly anticipated Group F showdown between France and Germany finished with the same score line as when these sides met in the 2014 World Cup quarterfinals and had the identical sole goal scorer. This time around the French came away with the 1-0 victory. One question many fans are asking though is: Did Rudiger bite Pogba?
Moments before the first half ended some legend working on the camera crew caught this intimate moment between Antonio Rudiger and Paul Pogba.
