The first elimination games for this year's Euro took place yesterday. Not surprisingly, Germany eliminated Denmark, 2-0.
There was one surprise yesterday, however. Switzerland knocked off the defending champions, Italy, 2-0. The Italians have suffered through some surprising struggles in recent years. Italy had failed to qualify for two consecutive World Cups, in 2018 and again in 2022, despite having won the Euro tournament four years ago. Now, bowing out this early in the tournament, despite being the defending European champions, feels like yet another sign that the struggles on the Italian side might not quite be over yet.
Later today, elimination round games continue at this Euro. Favored England takes on Slovakia. Then in the late game, Spain takes on one of the true Cinderella stories of this tournament, Georgia.
Should be interesting.
