Who from Belgium, Slovakia, Romania or Ukraine will meet the Blues in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 next Monday, at 6 p.m.? Didier Deschamps and his flock will find out tomorrow at around 8 p.m., when Group E has delivered its verdict. But one thing is certain: after this pitiful draw conceded against Poland on Tuesday evening (1-1), the Blues have made their task even more complicated in this competition.
2nd in group D, the French team enters the final phase in the part of the table that would have been better left to the Netherlands or Austria. Since in the quarter-finals, it could face one of the heavyweights of the competition: Portugal. And Germany and Spain are already applying for a place in the semi-finals against the Blues, if everything goes well for them so far.
First in group D, Austria did well on the other hand, since they are engaged in the round of 16 against the 2nd in group F which could well be Turkey – we will find out on Wednesday evening. The Austrians’ quarter-final should also be affordable, facing the first in group E or a third in group (A, B, C or D). And behind, Switzerland, Italy and the first of group C would be the main scarecrows. The Netherlands, finally 3rd in the group, must wait to find out which part of the table they will be placed in.
