What Euro 2024 games are today? Wednesday features final day of group stage

​​​​​​​View Date:2024-12-24 00:19:58

The final day of group stage matches at UEFA Euro 2024 will fill out the Round of 16 bracket, with Groups E and F closing out the opening stage of the tournament.

The advancing scenarios in Group E are complicated by the fact that for the first time in European Championship history, all four teams — Belgium, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine — are level on three points after two games. All of them can finish in any position and each team can progress or be eliminated. This should make for a wild noon ET time slot.

In Group F, Portugal already has secured the top place in the group and a Round of 16 match on July 1 in Frankfurt, Germany, against a third-place team yet to be determined.

These are the Round of 16 scenarios for the other teams in Group F:

➤ Turkey just cannot lose to Czechia in order to finish as group runner-up.

➤ Czechia can finish second and qualify for the Round of 16 with a win over Turkey. A draw also might be enough to move on.

➤ Georgia can progress as Group F runner-up with a win over Portugal and a Czechia win over Turkey — given Georgia also can attain a goal differential advantage. Georgia is eliminated with a loss or draw, and if Turkey does not defeat Czechia.
