The knockout rounds of Euro 2016 in France are finally upon us, and the tournament finally gets serious. Only one Bayern Munich player is in action in Saturday’s matches, but all three matches are must watch television. It’s the European Championship. You have to watch.
Switzerland vs. Poland
After dominating the qualifying campaign of Euro 2016, Robert Lewandowski has been ice cold in the official tournament. Following Poland’s first two matches, Lewandowski hasn’t been able to find the back of the net to help his nation, even though they finished second in the group behind Germany. However, it’s a new day, and Lewandowski will be counting on a goal against Switzerland.

Wales vs. Northern Ireland
This is the first match at Euro 2016 following Thursday’s infamous "Brexit" vote in the United Kingdom. Wales are unquestionably the favorites in this match, with Gareth Bale leading the way. However, there’s something about Northern Ireland that gives them the slightest bit of hope. This probably wouldn’t be the case if they were facing any other team in the knockout round other than Wales.

Croatia vs. Portugal
Cristiano Ronaldo brought Portugal back from the dead on three different occasions against Hungary in their final group stage game to help them get to the knockout rounds of Euro 2016 as a third place team. Croatia defeated Spain in their final group stage game to win Group D. The Croatians are the favorites in the match and will be looking to dispatch Ronaldo and Portugal to move on to the next round.
