Euro 2024: Belgium to Face France in Last 16, Netherlands Aim for Top Spot in Group D

Belgium will face France in the Euro 2024 last 16 after finishing second in Group E following a goalless draw against Ukraine, marking the first time all teams in a group finished with the same points. Despite Kevin De Bruyne's efforts, Belgium lacked a cutting edge, while Ukraine, finishing bottom, became the first team to exit the group stage with four points. The Netherlands aim to secure the top spot in Group D against Austria after a goalless draw with France, with coach Ronald Koeman acknowledging the team's shortcomings. Austria, buoyed by a 3-1 win over Poland, seek a positive result to advance. Injuries have impacted the Netherlands, but they remain strong contenders with strategic lineup changes. The Netherlands and France are assured of progressing, at least as one of the best third-place teams.
