Three teams. One spot. We all knew Group C of the European Championships would be the most competitive, but I'm not sure many of us could have imagined just how the group would play out.
The Netherlands have torched Italy and France on its way to a berth in the quarterfinals. That leaves Romania, France and Italy to vie for the second quarterfinal berth in the group. This brings us to France-Italy, a rematch of the 2006 World Cup final. The winner will reach the quarters if Romania loses to the Netherlands. If Romania ties the Netherlands and Italy and France tie then we are in a dizzying series of tie-breakers to determine the second qualifier.
France and Italy will be facing off today on ESPN at 2:30pm. Whether it's Italy-France or Netherlands-Romania, please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on today's action in the comments section below. I will post my own commentary in the comments section as well.
Enjoy the matches.
