Euro 2024 power rankings: how the teams in the last 16 shaped up
news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Wednesday, 3 July - 18:00
With music now a crime in Afghanistan, Braga has become one of the few places where the practice is being preserved
A stone’s throw from Portugal’s oldest cathedral and buzzing bakeries serving up pastéis de nata , the complex notes of a sitar fill the ground floor of an unassuming building in the northern city of Braga.
The soft strumming belies the radical nature of the mission that has taken root here: to preserve Afghan music and use it as a tool to counter those who want to eradicate it.
Continue reading...From Turkey’s Ferdi Kadioglu to Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz, we look at players who have caught the eye in Germany
The all-action Fenerbahce defender was outstanding during his side’s run to the quarter-finals in Germany, providing a constant attacking threat down the left flank and also dropping into midfield at times. Kadioglu had been linked with a move to Arsenal or Manchester City after excelling for his club, with Brighton, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund reported to be the latest to have shown an interest. IScouts from nine clubs were at the last-16 game against Austria when the 24-year-old broke a tournament record by covering 7.58 miles (12.2km) during Turkey’s 2-1 win .
Continue reading...England were the biggest climbers before semi-finals which could disrupt Spain’s impressive rhythm
They had to come through one hell of a battle against Germany, losing Pedri to injury after eight minutes, but in the end the players stood there, arms aloft, having made the semis thanks to Mikel Merino’s late headed goal. Dani Olmo had said beforehand that the game felt like a final and afterwards it was difficult to comprehend that Spain were not even in the final yet. Against France, they will be without the suspended Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand, with Jesús Navas and Nacho Fernández likely to deputise. It could disrupt the selección ’s rhythm but they should have the squad to cope with the difficulties. Olmo started on the bench against Germany but in the end was arguably Spain’s best player.

By Luke Entwistle for Get French Football News
Once again Didier Deschamps made changes, once again they had a negligible effect, once again France advanced – rinse and repeat. That is the story of Les Bleus’ Euros so far as they played to type in their latest victory, over Portugal, on penalties.
Continue reading...This Euro 2024 clash could have been an all-time great quarter-final, and instead a part of it was stolen
Even his absence feels like a kind of presence. The cameras continue to seek him out. The fans in the stands in their replica Manchester United tops screech a little louder, scowl a little harder. The less he does, the important he becomes. The more he disappears into this game, the heavier it feels, like a black hole sucking everything into its vortex.
And ultimately Portugal too. The sabotage is complete. One of the most talented squads ever assembled at this level of football disappears into that self same black hole, a Vegas-era Elvis act ultimately notable only for its ability to make us gawp and keep gawping. It’s too awful to watch. It’s too awful not to watch. The clock ticks into its third hour, the second quarter-final suspended like a sentence that can never end, and yet with the knowledge of exactly how it ends. Meanwhile, Gonçalo Ramos and Diogo Jota sit on the bench.
Continue reading...Two teams that simply could not score all night finally found their range in the shootout and, in the end, it was France who held their nerve. They had Théo Hernandez to thank for sending them through after João Félix, the only player to falter, struck a post with his penalty. In a strange affair of shots, chances but no finishing touch, Cristiano Ronaldo was left to regret squandering a glorious opening while Kylian Mbappé may wait anxiously on any consequences from what appeared a painful blow to his broken nose.
The question before kick-off had been whether these sides, both yet to flow freely despite their attacking riches, would elect to turn on the taps. Portugal had drawn blanks ever since brushing Turkey aside while France, two own goals and a penalty to their name, had eased this far without offering much of note at all.
Continue reading...These two need to up their game. After their underwhelming performances in the round of 16, which palled in comparison with the entertainment laid on by the likes of Spain, Germany, Austria and Turkey, Portugal and France owe us one. Another of those exhilarating back-and-forths, please, like the pair contested in the 1984 and 2000 semis, and we’ll forget the Slovenia and Belgium games ever happened. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!

A dominant 4-1 win against Georgia in the last 16 means Spain stay top of our rankings. They fell behind in the first half but the end result never felt in doubt. Luis de la Fuente’s side had 36 attempts to Georgia’s four; they attempted 823 passes and completed 94%. Or put it this way: Georgia were outplayed, yet they didn’t play badly. Spain were simply superb. Again. The starting XI seems settled now but there can be no complacency because the options from the bench are so strong. Against Georgia, De la Fuente put on, among others, Dani Olmo and Álex Grimaldo with the former scoring. Now for Germany …
