Even for the pure neutral, nearly all of the emotions on the spectrum have been felt so far in the Euro 2020 tournament and the competition is only going to get more intense this weekend.
The knockout round begins this weekend and promises for more thrilling viewing as some of the top teams square off. Headlining the action is defending European champions Portugal’s clash with one of the tournament favorites Belgium.
Portugal survived the “group of death” in third place and faced much stiffer competition than Belgium, which took care of business and finished comfortably atop Group B.
So far, nobody has even put a goal past Italy and Austria will need to dig deep to do that and possibly more to pull out a stunning upset.
In Copa America action, the group stage finales take place over the weekend with things pretty much settled in terms of who will advance apart from Group B. Venezuela and Ecuador are battling, with the latter running into the Brazilian buzz saw.
