We are now halfway through the last 16 action at EURO 2024, with England and Spain advancing to the next round on Sunday.
You can read The Debrief on that drama here.
But it is already time to look ahead to what day 18 has in store.
First up, pre-tournament favourites France return to action in Düsseldorf when they take on neighbours Belgium, who were booed by their own fans at the end of an underwhelming group phase.
Following that clash, all roads lead to Frankfurt, where Portugal face Slovenia.
Romelu Lukaku has had an interesting tournament so far.
The Belgium striker had the ball in the net three times during the group stage but is still waiting for his first goal of the tournament after all were ruled out - some of them in harsh fashion.
The Red Devils need both their luck to turn and their talisman to be in form if they are to have a chance of toppling France but whether they get that or not, Lukaku has been, once again, compelling viewing at an international competition.
Kylian Mbappé was quizzed on why he hasn't been finding the net with the expected regularity this summer.
And laughed it off brilliantly.
France 2-0 Belgium
Portugal 3-1 Slovenia
