Switzerland vs. Poland
Although I like the Swiss team and their talents, I have to give Poland a slight advantage - which team will be showing up and be prepared for a win is from now on the question. I'll take Poland - admire their coach.
Wales vs. Northern Ireland
This will be a fight to the end - Wales has surprised me the most in the group stages - not even trying to pick a winner on this one.
Croatia vs. Portugal
Is it only wishful thinking or is it a gut feeling I have that Croatia will advance on this one. Had Croatia placed 2nd. - but also picked Turkey to win the group. Spain I had 3rd. We'll see what comes from that. Croatia to advance.

France vs. Republic of Ireland
France has not impressed so far during the group stage but one just has to go with a W for the host team. One thing for sure though, the Irish won't just hand them the victory. If you can beat Italy why not France as well. Expecting a decent game.
Germany vs. Slovakia
This is no walk in the park for one of the pre-tournament favorites. Slovakia beat Germany 3:1 in a water battle as their last prep-game. And Germany has to start finding the net or it could be the END of their quest for their 4th. European Championship.
Hungary vs. Belgium
Not as dominant as one had expected but Belgium is slowly getting into gear and maybe I will be eating my words when I mentioned Belgium will be the disappointment of the tournament. Let's see what the Magyars can do to prove me wrong or right.
Take Belgium 2:1...

Italy vs. Spain
Is this going to be the "Beautiful Game" or will it be marked by yellow cards left and right? Did you think these 2 would meet in the first round of the knock-out stages? Spain I had coming in as 3rd. place - bold prediction - but it was Turkey that really flipped me on this group. Italy or Spain? I'd have to say Italy - even though losing their last group match, I believe they'll make a splash from now on.
England vs. Iceland
Thought Iceland would make it to the Final 8 but now with a young, enthusiastic English team against them not sure which way to go. England showing signs of excellent football, yet too many breakdowns during the game. Will this go into overtime? I can see it happening - with a 1:1 at the final whistle. Think it will be a game talked about long after the match is over.
