Euro 2021



The Euro 2021 has got off to a good start and after today each team would have played a match. It's going to be interesting to see which teams make it to the round of 16 as the tournament progresses the fight for places are going to be tight. 

The teams that come out third will want to be in the best possible position in terms of points and goal difference as this will give them a chance to secure one of the last 4 places available in the round of 16. The top 2 of each group will qualify thus 12 teams of 16 and the last 4 places will be the best four of the teams in the third spot in the group stages.

 The main goal of each team will be to claim a top 2 spot thus games in the coming weeks could get very interesting as a third spot finish does not guarantee a place in the round of 16 in actually leaves teams to depend on other teams to help them out and no team wants to be in that position.

the round of 16 brack looks like this in the image below 


I'm going to predict my top 12 teams who I think will finish in the top 2 spots of each group 

Group A:  Italy and Wales

Group B: Belgium and Denmark

Group C: Netherlands and Ukraine

Group D: Croatia and England 

Group E: Spain and Poland 

Group F: France and Germany 


These were my thought do share yours in the comment section below
