00:00But I want to give you guys the analysis on my two favorite games so far.

00:04So, you know, we are out of the group stage.

00:06That is done, and we have moved into the quarterfinals.

00:10First game I want to focus on, Norway-Italy.

00:12This was a really exciting game.

00:15Norway is an incredibly strong team that over the past couple years has been struggling.

00:19This team, they have really standout players.

00:22They have amazing passion and talent.

00:25But the cohesiveness and the chemistry of the team is just not there.

00:29And that's why I think, ultimately, they fell to the Italians.

00:33Italy was able to win this game, securing them a spot in the semifinals.

00:38This is a huge win for the Italians.

00:41This team has not been in the semifinals of the Euros since the 1990s.

00:46So this is a massive accomplishment.

00:49Again, shout-out to Giurelli.

00:50She was an amazing team captain during this team.

00:53And, you know, that's why they were able to get so far.

00:55Moving on to the same side of that bracket,

00:57we now know who is going to face the Italians in the semifinals.

01:02And it is no other than our favorite, the Lionesses.

01:05But this was no easy feat.

01:07They had an incredibly difficult game against Sweden.

01:10You know, early on in the match, first half, Sweden put away two goals.

01:14And England didn't have a response, to be quite honest.

01:17It was only until the second half, when their manager put in two substitutions,

01:21that I really saw a change and a shift in this game.

01:24You know, unfortunately, we saw some really poor defending on Sweden's part.

01:29But, you know, that's the game.

01:30This is a gritty game.

01:31It wasn't pretty.

01:32And England was able to get their team into the extra time.

01:36And it was a tie game.

01:37Both teams couldn't put it away.

01:39Strong defending.

01:40It was an incredibly intense extra time.

01:43And, you know, it led to penalties.

01:45This was an incredible performance.

01:47We have to shout-out Jennifer Falk.

01:49She was a standout player, stopping four penalties.

01:53And this is a record for the Euros.

01:55Unfortunately, you know, Falk wasn't able to put it away when it was her time to take the penalty.

02:00And a total of eight penalties were taken by both teams.

02:04So, this was a very intense shootout.

02:06And ultimately, you know, the Lionesses took the W.

02:09They took the points and went on to the semifinals.

02:12But that's not all because this weekend we have more quarterfinal matches.

02:18We have France versus Germany.

02:19It's anyone's game there.

02:21I'm really excited to see who takes the win and continues on to the semifinals.

02:25And my match of the weekend, Spain versus Switzerland.

02:28You have to remember, Switzerland is the host.

02:31They have the fan base there.

02:32But Spain, are they unstoppable?

02:34These are questions we're all asking.

02:36So, please tune in.

02:37It's going to be super exciting matches.

02:39And sending it back to you guys at the studio.
