Spain had a free header in extra time and scored. Germany had a free header in extra time and missed. That was the difference. What a great game, though.

And followed by the snooze fest of sideways and back passes by France vs Portugal. Stopped watching after 15 minutes

Spain's 16 year old Yamal delivers another key pass for a goal. I would love to be the agent of this guy! He is amazing.

I bet on Spain to win and it's looking good!
I knew Spain was going to win against Germany but they under performed, they usually do better. But Germany played good. The only thing is now with the red card for Carvalho and the yellow cards, I don't know how well Spain is going to do.

Exactly went as I thought it would. Its too bad Spain and Germany had to matchup in the quarters but that was a close exciting game. I had a tee time so didn't see the France/Portugal match and I'm glad I didn't waste my time.

Today I like England to somehow sneak out a victory against a tough Swiss squad that looked so dominant in their victory over Italy.
I also think the Dutch will move on against the Turks despite the pro Turkish crowd expected in Berlin. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Wouldn't call it fortune, they have a lot of talent at every position but not the greatest coach,
they just won the PK shoot-outs and scored 5 well taken pk's.

Lucky that England squeezed thru today, Switzerland played very well, these penalty shots must be traumatizing on the players that miss. They may never forget it.

Assuming Netherland will win against the Turks, England will have to face them and then Either Spain or France.

I'm picking the Netherland as well.
The Swiss were such a disciplined team, it came down to a shitty penalty by Akanji, it looked like a pass.
Ivan Toney's pk was the definition of cool you gotta watch it in slow motion, he wasn't even looking at the ball.

On the other hand.....😂 the Turks are tough and in the first period the Dutch forwards can't get in.

Remember Bukayo Saka at the previous Euros when he missed the penalty against Italy and knuckle heads rained racist abuses on him. Well, he scored the equalizer today and cooly converted his penalty. Where are the racists now?

They are cheering Saka as the most wonderful guy in the world. That’s what racism is.

The English are winning ugly. And in the words of English tennis star Emma Raducanu, winning ugly is still winning.

The Netherlands are not better than England. It will be England against Spain in the final.

That was close, the Turks were good. I'm just happy the Dutch won, first Phil is going to be happy and second I hate the Turk Erdogan.
The Turks came close but kudos to Verbruggen. The Dutch could have scored more had they kept their shots low on target,
I must have counted 4 shots on goal that went up too high.
