Comments:

Czech Republic finished third behind Croatia in Group D by virtue of scoring fewer goals (level on points and goal difference) but progressed to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams. Czech Republic failed in their attempt to avoid defeat in three group games at UEFA European Championship finals for the second time (won three at Euro 2004). They had now won one of their last seven games at UEFA European Championship finals (lost four).

Comments:

England finished top of their group at a UEFA European Championship finals for the third time; also 1996 and 2012. England had now kept a clean sheet in eight of their last nine games (conceded one goal). Excluding penalty shoot-outs, the Three Lions retained their unbeaten record in major tournaments at Wembley (played 13, won nine).
