Officially called the "2018–20 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament," that mouthful is traditionally pared down to "Euro 2020" or, even more succinctly, the "Euros."
This is the 16th edition of the tournament, which is designed to crown the top international team in all of Europe. After years of qualifying matches, we're down to the final 24 teams, broken into six groups of four for the group stage.

Italy holds on, but I’m sick about what happened to Spinazzola, sounds like he tore his achilles, that sucks. That’s a huge loss for Italy.
Nice early goal for Denmark.
That’s the way to do it.
Denmark is legit!
They aren’t ranked 10th in FIFA for nothing.
No way England will beat Denmark, assuming they beat Ukraine.
LOL how long until Bayern Munich goes after Schick?
Bayern needs Raheem Sterling.
Go Ukraine!!!!
Ok, Go Denmark!!!!
"The Ukraine is weak!"
England went on the rampage.
Classy display by the Ukrainian players at the end saluting their fans. They just ran into a buzzsaw today.
I think it will be Italy - England and then Italy.
Italy is more threatening, but it only takes one moment to score.
Italy has much faster players in today’s lineup. Spain’s reserves are much better than Italy’s reserves.
Players dicker with the ball too much in the penalty area instead of just one-touching a shot. Italy had a great opportunity there, and they blew it.
I think England will beat Italy. Very good defense and a wealth of speed in attacking players with the exception of Harry Kane, but Kane is a brilliant finisher with both his feet and head.
Italy is turning over the ball too much. They need to wake up.
Spain needs a striker. No accuracy up front.
Italy lacks an attacking mentality so far. Spain is killing them with possession. Italians need to change their tactics. ESPN Italian commentator suggests adding a midfielder and remove a striker.
Both Spain and Italy have better on-ball players than England. They can create their own offense. England plays at home for both the semifinal and the final.
