Euro 2016 Daily: Spain snatch favourites tag

Bookies have promoted Spain to Euro 2016 favourites after their comprehensive 3-0 win over Turkey. With France and Germany unconvincing in their opening two games, Spain have now leapfrogged the fancied duo in the odds charts.

Incredibly, they were the first team to score three times at Euro 2016 – the 21st game of the tournament. The signs are promising for Vicente del Bosque's side following their World Cup debacle.

Croatia fans who caused trouble during their team's Euro 2016 match against the Czech Republic on Friday were branded "sports terrorists" by coach Ante Cacic. The supporters threw flares on to the pitch and fought among themselves in one section of the Stade Geoffroy Guichard, forcing the Group D game to be interrupted for several minutes while officials and players appealed for calm.

"We were exposed to the terror of hooligans who have no place in sports arenas and I sincerely hope they will be identified and brought to justice," said Cacic.

Belgium could make wholesale changes against Ireland as they seek to keep their tournament hopes alive, coach Marc Wilmots said. The Red Devils slumped to a harrowing 2-0 defeat in their opener against Italy, despite starting the tournament amongst the favourites.

"Tomorrow there will be between two and 10 changes. Only the goalkeeper is certain," he told reporters, refusing to confirm a starting place for playmaker Kevin de Bruyne, who suffered a light injury in training on Thursday. "He (De Bruyne) is ready but if he plays tomorrow, we will see."

Italy 1-0 Sweden – Antonio Conte’s side qualified for the last 16 as his Italian troops edged a dreary content 1-0 courtesy of Eder’s late strike. Sweden are still getting to grips with the basics – they are yet to register a single shot on target all tournament. Read the match report.

Czech Republic 2-2 Croatia – The result is very much an afterthought after trouble flared in the Croatia end. Czech Republic kept their qualification hopes alive by salvaging a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot, but a dozen flares and fights amongst fans will grab the headlines. Read the match report.

Spain 3-0 Turkey – Probably the most one-sided victories of the tournament. Alvaro Morata struck twice and Nolito notched the other as Spain qualified for the knockout stages with aplomb. Read the match report.

Belgium’s ‘Golden Generation’ will attempt a salvage mission in Bordeaux. They slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Italy in their opening game, leaving their qualification hopes in doubt. Read the match preview.

Two upset architects meet at Stade Velodrome. Iceland claimed a valiant point against Portugal in their opener, while Hungary defied the odds to beat Austria. Both sides will be acutely aware that this match probably represents their best chance of securing a knockout berth. Read the match preview.

Two teams nursing wounds can bounce back by toppling the other in the French capital. If Portugal do falter, keep a close eye on Cristiano Ronaldo’s post-match remarks. The Real Madrid forward labelled Iceland "small" following their 1-1 draw. Read the match preview.

Ben Snowball, St-Etienne: There was an air of disappointment around Saint-Etienne in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw between Croatia and Czech Republic. A day that had started so jovially was soured by a handful of idiots. It should not tarnish every Croatian fan – the overwhelming majority I encountered on my street wanderings were in great spirits and not remotely interested in conflict.

Remember: it’s only the minority who are terrible:
