Thursday was another memorable day at EURO 2024, with England flattering to deceive and an absorbing match between Spain and Italy to round off the day.
There was plenty of weird and wonderful stuff happening away from the pitch as well. Here are the best bits â let us know in the comments if we missed anything!
Spain may have got the better of Italy on the pitch, but the Italians reckon their food is unbeatable, and they might well have a point.
You wonât find a more perfect summary of that match in Gelsenkirchen than this.
Poor Riccardo Calafiori.
That unfortunate error from the Italy defender means Own Goal is now top scorer at the tournament.
Rumours are that Manchester City have lodged a ÂŁ100m bid.
La Rojaâs players were congratulated on their victory by the King of Spain, who couldnât believe that Lamine Yamal is only 16.
It was a day to forget for England, who squandered a 1-0 lead to draw with Denmark in disappointing fashion.
The Danish fans were in full troll mode before the game had even begun.
Luckily for one England fan, the strength of Germanyâs beer means he probably wonât remember the game.
Scotland fans, on the other hand, were told they are welcome back in Köln any time by the cityâs mayor.
Their bar tabs alone must have provided the local economy with a huge boost.
How about this for a brilliant example of art imitating life.
If you have never seen the 2001 movie Mike Bassett: England Manager, you really should do something about that.
If you were already impressed by Belgium midfielder Amadou Onanaâs crazy accent switch in the mixed zone the other day, you ainât seen nothinâ yet.
And 1992 European Championship winner Peter Schmeichel interviewing his son Kasper after Denmarkâs draw with England made football fans of a certain age all watery eyed.
This Albania fan knew exactly where to hit the Italians where it hurts when the two nations met in Dortmund on matchday one.
And that joke was copied by this Austrian fan, who taunted his French counterparts in DĂŒsseldorf on Monday.
Food has been a theme at the tournament so far. On Wednesday, these Switzerland fans enjoyed a nice fondue on the steps of the Köln cathedral ahead of their match with Scotland, because why not?
Germanyâs Joshua Kimmich was so hungry on Wednesday that he tried to take a bite out of Manuel Neuerâs head.
Here was an England fanâs reaction to trying German Currywurst for the first time.
This England fan must have eaten a bit too much Currywurst, as he fell asleep in the stadium during Sundayâs win over Serbia and woke up all alone at 4am!
Only an England fan would wake up in Schalkeâs ground at 4am after watching the gameđđđ âÂ
Poor Kylian MbappĂ© has been one of the biggest casualties of the tournament so far, with the France captain breaking his nose during Mondayâs meeting with Austria.
The new Real Madrid star quickly took to social media, asking fans for suggestions for a mask he could wear to protect his injured conk.
This was easily the best suggestion.
Who knew that even referees have fanboys?
What a national anthem Scotland have, and what a rendition of it this was.
This Italian commentator loves the anthem so much that he couldnât help but sing along.
Scotlandâs fans have arguably been the stars of EURO 2024 so far, such as this lovely moment.
And what a guy this Germany fan was, handing out beers to the Scots in Köln on Wednesday.
But hereâs why itâs not a good idea to walk the wrong way up an escalator, especially after drinking several of those beers.
Georgia may have lost their first ever Euros match, but their first goal in that defeat to TĂŒrkiye was a historic moment, and it was all a bit too much for one journalist in the stadium.
And if this Turkish commentatorâs reaction to Arda GĂŒlerâs stunning goal doesnât send a shiver down your spine, there could be something wrong with you.
That TĂŒrkiye v Georgia game was the match of matchday one by quite some distance, but it very nearly had to be called off due to heavy rain. Kudos for the groundstaff in Dortmund for their work, especially this guy.
And if you missed that game, you really missed it.
Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana was understandably unhappy about being confused with his namesake André, and this accent switch was crazy.
Lamine Yamal might have lit up Spainâs win over Croatia on matchday one, but that doesnât mean the 16-year-old is allowed to skip his homework.
Cristiano Ronaldo might have been a little too eager to start Portugalâs game against Czech Republic on Tuesday.
Find someone who loves you as much as Switzerlandâs Xherdan Shaqiri loves scoring at international tournaments.
English comedian Tim Vine has come up with a new song which could rival Three LionsâŠor maybe not.
This Phil Foden chant isnât half bad though.
We have only had one red card at the tournament at the time of writing, but what a red card it was, from Scotlandâs Ryan Porteous.
This guy spoke for all Arsenal fans with his reaction to Kieran Tierneyâs injury for Scotland on Wednesday night.
Let us know in the comments if we missed any!
