Half of the round of 16 at the European Football Championship have been played.

Denmark, Italy, the Czech Republic and Belgium are through, Wales, Austria, surprisingly the Netherlands and European champions Portugal are eliminated.

And now?

On this Monday, the fight for entry into the round of the best eight teams continues with two games, before the German selection also fights for their ticket to the quarter-finals a day later.

    First (6 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the European Football Championship, on ZDF and on MagentaTV) Spain meets Croatia.

    The Iberians took second place in Group E with a bit of difficulty, and the World Cup runner-up was also not without problems second in Group D. And now?

    In the duel in Copenhagen, the roles are clearly assigned.

    The Spaniards have a 73.6 percent chance of winning, while the Croats are only 26.4 percent.

    Even afterwards (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the European Football Championship, on ZDF and on MagentaTV) there is little doubt as to who will make it to the quarter-finals.

    France finished first in the German preliminary round group, although not completely sovereign, while Switzerland advanced to Group A as one of the best thirds.

    Now 77.9 percent speak for the world champion, only 22.1 for the Swiss.

    And what do I do now with my knowledge? The best thing to do is to try your luck in the EM prediction game on FAZ.NET. There are prizes worth a total of 8,000 euros to be won.
