Having underwhelmed in Germany so far and thrown a strop or two already, the 39-year-old plunged to new depths of embarrassment with his display in the last 16.<\/p>\n<p>Without a goal to his name so far, the Al Nassr striker has proven nothing but a hindrance to an incredibly talented squad. Ronaldo should not be starting for Portugal and he finds himself fortunate to not be warming the bench after some dire displays.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto Martinez\u2019s unwillingness to replace Ronaldo against Slovenia was remarkable. Despite offering nothing to Portugal\u2019s forward line, the veteran continued to lead it. Handed an opportunity to be the hero in extra-time, the former Real Madrid star saw his penalty rebuffed by old Atletico Madrid adversary Jan Oblak, subsequently\u00a0bursting into tears\u00a0halfway through the additional period.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else may have been offered sympathy from those watching at home, but not Ronaldo. His ego \u2013 exemplified by the umpteenth free kick he smashed into the stands while Bruno Fernandes stood in wait \u2013 has become a major issue for Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>The waterworks were telling; this is surely the end for the five-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner as Portugal\u2019s de facto leader.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_ftxohaamk\">England are still rubbish<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j1sv4xq2cn3d8vtv3x.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Kane\" title=\"Harry Kane\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>England struggled in the last 16 \/ Carl Recine\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Any hopes that the last 16 would be a turning point for\u00a0England\u00a0were swiftly dashed against Slovakia. The same tepid and repetitive build-up play produced the same results, something which surprised absolute nobody \u2013 bar, seemingly, Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n<p>England found themselves on the brink of elimination from Euro 2024 after a truly woeful display against Slovakia. A goal down with seconds to play, the Three Lions miraculously\u00a0found themselves in front just a minute into extra-time. Bellingham was the reason following his acrobatic late strike, but even the Real Madrid star had been appalling for 93 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the desperate performances of Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and a host of other England starters, Southgate is still the focus of the nation\u2019s ire, and rightly so. While his substitutions did help change the flow of the game, he left them far, far too late. His refusal to make any changes at half-time bordered on psychopathic and his alterations felt like a random throw of the dice rather than a calculated decision.<\/p>\n<p>With Switzerland to come in the quarter-finals, England really have no chance of reaching the last four if they don\u2019t make drastic improvements in the next few days. Their performance against Slovakia was truly alarming.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_4sxadpqkg\">Defence is king for France<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j1sv687pcck5wyefe8.jpg\" alt=\"Brice Samba, William Carvalho, Theo Hernandez, Yannick Carrasco, Dayot Upamecano\" title=\"Brice Samba, William Carvalho, Theo Hernandez, Yannick Carrasco, Dayot Upamecano\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>France have conceded just once at Euro 2024 \/ Stefan Matzke \u2013 sampics\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Before you think\u00a0France\u00a0have gotten away with being rubbish, they haven\u2019t. The pre-tournament favourites have been surprisingly dismal in their four outings to date and were slightly fortunate to edge past a similarly poor Belgium side in the last 16.<\/p>\n<p>Despite boasting the deepest and most talented squad on the international stage, they still had to rely on a\u00a0Jan Vertonghen own goal to progress. Les Bleus have scored just three times at the tournament, with two own goals and a penalty to their name.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike England, there are more positives for the French and they chiefly come in defence. A resilient backline has spared France\u2019s blushes, with Mike Maignan inspired between the sticks and William Saliba, Jules Kounde and Theo Hernandez all shining in front of him. Even the much-maligned Dayot Upamecano has been surprisingly assured.<\/p>\n<p>Didier Deschamps\u2019 side still need to make rapid improvements, especially given they face Portugal in the quarter-finals. But there are seeds of hope for the 2022 World Cup finalists thanks to their watertight rearguard.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_0f5dyfujo\">Spain must be favourites<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j1sv7kvf70ps03f3wh.jpg\" alt=\"FBL-EURO-2024-MATCH39-ESP-GEO\" title=\"FBL-EURO-2024-MATCH39-ESP-GEO\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Spain have been the standout performers at Euro 2024 \/ ALBERTO PIZZOLI\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>While many of Euro 2024\u2019s big-hitters have struggled to get out of third gear,\u00a0Spain\u00a0have been flying down the Autobahn. They offered up another dazzling display in the last 16, putting the tournament\u2019s lowest-ranked side Georgia to the sword.<\/p>\n<p>Despite falling behind to Georgia\u2019s first attack \u2013 yet another own goal at Euro 2024 \u2013 Luis de la Fuente\u2019s men never panicked. Their commitment to the plan paid dividends, with Rodri levelling before the break as La Roja began to turn the screw.<\/p>\n<p>A devastating second-half display\u00a0saw them add another three to their tally for the evening, with Fabian Ruiz, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams all shining in the final third. They played with poise and determination, slicing Georgia open with intricate passing play and a quick turn of speed.<\/p>\n<p>They have been convincing victors in all four of their matches and now must be considered favourites, even if they face hosts Germany in the next round.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_bxg3umvhb\">The duality of Kai Havertz<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01j1svb91w05y04xqdjm.jpg\" alt=\"Kai Havertz\" title=\"Kai Havertz\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Havertz scored against Denmark \/ Alexander Hassenstein\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>One of Euro 2024\u2019s best performing sides will be knocked out in the last eight. With Spain on the horizon, hosts\u00a0Germany\u2018s impressive start to the tournament may count for little come the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Nagelsmann\u2019s side didn\u2019t always look entirely comfortable as they\u00a0beat Denmark 2-0 in the last 16, with luck on their side at some key moments. They produced two goals and another clean sheet, but it could have been very different if the fine margins had benefitted their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Nagelsmann has a few dilemmas heading into the quarter-finals, one of which may be Kai Havertz. There were calls from some Germany supporters to replace the Arsenal forward with the in-form colossus Niclas Fullkrug against Denmark, but the former Bayern Munich manager kept faith in Havertz.<\/p>\n<p>In one sense, that faith paid off. Havertz scored from the spot against Denmark and proved a handful at times with his intelligent runs, dragging all three centre-halves around the pitch. However, he also missed three big chances with an expected goals tally of 1.85, again showing his inconsistency in the final third. Whether he can be relied on in the biggest games remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, that was eventful.
