EURO 2020 is in full swing and teams have had a greater opportunity than ever before to progress to the knockout stages.
With 24 teams competing, 16 have escaped the group and live to fight another day.
But that meant eight unfortunate sides will be going home early.
Which teams are out of Euro 2020?
Three teams are out of Euro 2020. They are as follows:
- Finland
- Hungary
- North Macedonia
- Turkey
- Scotland
- Russia
- Poland
- Slovakia
North Macedonia were knocked out after two group games, with head-to-head rules making it impossible for them to finish third or above after their defeats to Austria and Ukraine.
Turkey departed the tournament after a 3-1 defeat to Switzerland saw a wretched campaign end without a single point.
Russia exited after coming bottom of their group with losses to Denmark and Belgium.
And Scotland are OUT after losing 3-1 at home to Croatia and heartbroken Hungary finished last of the ‘Group Of Death’ Group F.
Does third place in the group go through to the last 16?
Third place DOES go through to the last 16, and Portugal even won Euro 2016 after finishing down in third.
However, this only applies to the four best third placed teams from the six groups
Northern Ireland were the lowest ranked third placed team to qualify at the last Euros.
They finished on three points with two goals scored and conceded and a goal difference of zero.
