International football tournament stage
The knockout stage of UEFA Euro 2016 began on 25 June 2016 and ended on 10 July 2016 with the final in Saint-Denis, France, near Paris.[1][2]
All times listed are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)
In the knockout stage, extra time and a penalty shoot-out were used to decide the winners if necessary.[3] As with every tournament since UEFA Euro 1984, there was no third place play-off.
UEFA set out the following schedule for the round of 16:[3]
- Match 1: Runners-up Group A vs Runners-up Group C
- Match 2: Winners Group D vs 3rd Place Group B/E/F
- Match 3: Winners Group B vs 3rd Place Group A/C/D
- Match 4: Winners Group F vs Runners-up Group E
- Match 5: Winners Group C vs 3rd Place Group A/B/F
- Match 6: Winners Group E vs Runners-up Group D
- Match 7: Winners Group A vs 3rd Place Group C/D/E
- Match 8: Runners-up Group B vs Runners-up Group F
Combinations of matches in the Round of 16
[edit]The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depended on which four third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:[3]

The top two placed teams from each of the six groups qualified for the knockout stage, along with the four best third-placed teams.[3]
Switzerland vs Poland
[edit]Wales vs Northern Ireland
[edit]Croatia vs Portugal
[edit]France vs Republic of Ireland
[edit]Germany vs Slovakia
[edit]The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever.[26] Former footballer and Talksport presenter Stan Collymore, who was commentating on the game, panned the England team, reserving special criticism for goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Wayne Rooney.[27] Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team.[28] The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup.[29]
The English team was viciously mocked by the press who described it as a "second exit from Europe", referencing the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union just four days earlier. The English media called the result a national embarrassment, criticising the team's fitness and calling the fans unsportsmanlike.[30][31] Consequently, England manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation following the match.[32]
