Griezmann, France knocked out of Euro 2020 on penalties

Euro 2020 might just be the best international tournament in recent history, and we’re not even done with the Round of 16 yet. A tournament full of great knockout matches saw another classic and another upset on Monday as defending World Cup winners France are out thanks to a memorable 3-3 draw and a loss on penalties to Switzerland in Bucharest.

The late game on Monday was very similar to the one we saw earlier between Croatia and Spain, with the underdogs jumping to a quick lead: Steven Zuber played a cross from the left, and Haris Seferovic dominated Barcelona’s Clément Lenglet, the surprise starter in the French team, to head home the opener.
