An extraordinary day of football ended in the most extraordinary way, with the exit of the Euro 2020 favorite and reigning World Cup champion, France, in a penalty shootout, at the hands of Switzerland.

But those are bald statements that do nothing to capture a game of incredible twists and drama.
