To tell you that a new week begins, but not just any week for football fans, since the Eurocup and Copa Americadefine their finalists with high-voltage matches throughout the week that will undoubtedly keep us excited.

To start the Euro Cup, Germany faces four heavyweights of old continent football, on Tuesday at 3:00 pm Spain and France, They will open hostilities in what could very well be an early final.

Dani Olmos, the best player in the quarter-finals against Germany, knows that the French team is a tough opponent no matter the tournament, the stage or even if they are not playing at their best level.

“France is always there in the end, even though they haven’t stood out so much in these matches and by playing one of the best we will be prepared. We know each other perfectly. We have teammates who are also teammates with the French players, so there is no problem. We are ready for everyone.” Dani Olmos.

On the other side of the bracket, but in the Netherlands, they will face England on Wednesday in what can be considered the semi-final, as Both the Dutch and the English have more sorrows than glories in their pact for international football And as far as football on this side of the pond is concerned, on the same Wednesday, but at 8:00 pm in New Jersey, the Argentine dream led by Leo Messi continues when they face the surprising Canadian team, whom they already defeated, not without complications, in the first match of the first round.

Dibu Martínez, the hero of the Argentine team in the quarter-finals against Ecuador, knows that the Albiceleste team needs to work even harder to defend this difficult title.

“Let me win a couple more titles, God willing, we are a group, we are a union, a country, there are many kids who have won the Copa America for the first time, we are proud, we are more united than ever, the kids were very nervous,” Drawing Martinez.

To close this total binge of top-level football, Colombia and Uruguay will face each other on Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 8:00 pm, in a match with a completely reserved forecast and with a practically identical chance of victory for these two teams that for many are the ones that have displayed the best football in this tournament, remember all times are in Eastern time.
