And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey

ps, why do English portals spell Turkey as "Türkiye"?? What kind of nonsense is that?

Say goodbye to Turkey and hello to Türkiye. It's been like this for at least two years, I guess you haven't heard of it. Of course, it is still a habit, even our citizens continue to say Turkey, but actually it is just Türkiye.

If I had to talk about the match in the last 16 rounds. It was a match that I was excited about every second of it. I haven't seen our national team play so focused and clear lately. We knew that Austria was not an easy team, they came first despite which teams were in the group they were leading, and it was not a coincidence that it was because they played well.

The player of the match was Merih. Even though he was a defender, he scored two goals and was selected as the player of the match. He had a very good match. It was good to see Arda Güler starting the match in the first 11. He played well in the future, played a well-pressured game, in fact the whole team was like that.

I was really impressed by the performance of the Turkish national team yesterday, just as you rightfully pointed out, they were very much focussed, and the early goal they got put them into an advantageous position, which was a major setback for Austria, and that alone made Austria start chasing the game, which is never a good thing against a well organized team like turkey last night, so a big congratulations to turkey, for qualifying to the quarter finals of this competition.

Talking about the quarter finals fixtures, all the games are definitely going to be a fascinating encounter, because if you look at the team involved, they are top class teams, so it's definitely going to be exciting, but the game that I really find interest in, is Germany vs Spain, that particular game is definitely going to be a cracker and as a neutral fan, I would be going to watch that game hoping that I can catch the best possible fun in that encounter.
