The first two European Championship quarter-finals didn’t disappoint, with Spain and Italy progressing after two entertaining matches.

Spain defeated Switzerland on penalties in the opening fixture, while Italy deservedly defeated over-hyped Belgium in the second game.

Ahead of the remaining two quarter-finals, we take a look at a few Euro 2020 talking points from the last 24 hours.

Keown fluffs his lines

If you’ve been following this column during the tournament, you will know that we’ve not been overly enamoured with some of the co-commentators and pundits.

Robbie Savage Biased. Danny Murphy Lousy. Jermaine Jenas Terrible. After last night’s games, we have another addition to the list – Martin Keown.

Keown” “its been the game of the tournament” LOL. and he gets paid for this Best teams maybe – best match, no way.

Keown’s commentary style leaves a lot to be desired, with his habit of framing every point as a question smacking of someone who isn’t sure that what he spouts make sense.

The former Arsenal star’s declaration that the clash between Belgium and Italy was the ‘game of the tournament’ demonstrated his inability to deliver sensible insights. Get in the bin.

Lukaku flops

Visit most football websites and they will tell you that Romelu Lukaku is a £90 million striker.

Judging by his pitiful miss during Belgium’s defeat against Italy, you would be hard pushed to think he is worth £90.
