Here are the results after the 7th day of the knock-out stage
The first semi-final between Spain and Sweden was absolutely breathtaking. After a sluggish first half, without much opportunity for either team, during the last 10 minutes of the game we were treated to three goals that led Spain to a 2-1 victory. What an incredible ending!
Hopefully the second semi-final will be of the same ilk...
