Euro 2024 has arrived and the group stage is now over. We started with 24 teams but just 16 remain as the top two teams from each group and four third-placed teams make up the field for the opening of the knockout stage. Action gets underway on Saturday and there will be two games a day through Tuesday.
All of the tournaments major contenders emerged from the group stage relatively unscathed, although the round was not without some surprises. Although France and Belgium both advanced, neither won their group with Austria and Romania, respectively, taking home those honors. The shakeup has left the Euros with a handful of heavyweight matchups earlier than expected in the tournament, with France vs. Belgium being the probable highlight of the round of 26.
