What a day of Euro games! At 9 a.m. ET Ukraine came from behind to clinch a win over Slovakia and keep its knockout hopes alive.
The result leaves Group E balanced on a knife's edge, with Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine tied with three points apiece and expected group winners Belgium adrift on zero. If any of you had that in your pre-tournament brackets, speak up. We have some questions for you.

m. ET, Austria and Poland played out one of the best games of the tournament so far in front of a packed crowd in Berlin. Austria started quickly, just like their coach Ralf Rangnick assured us it would, and won the game 3-1 in impressive fashion.
The game left Poland adrift on zero points, knowing that if France and the Netherlands played out a scoreless draw later that afternoon, they'd become the first team to be mathematically eliminated from the tournament. AUSTRIA TAKES THE LEAD Christoph Baumgartner with the goal pic.twitter.
com/0umkMQceK8 Well, you'll never guess what happened. France and the Netherlands rocked up to Leipzig this afternoon and played out the dullest, dumbest 0-0 draw in recent memory and eliminated the Poles for good. Apologies to our Polish readers, and even deeper apologies to everyone who skipped the opening two matches only to sit through that France-Netherlands yawn-fest.
They can't all be winners, folks. First 0-0 of Euro 2024. pic.
