0:00.0	Welcome to Up Front. I'm Chloe Morgan. And I'm Rachel O'm Rachel Sullivan. The group stages are over and we are
0:24.6	raring to go for the quarter final knockouts with a very tasty last eight lined up. Today we're looking
0:30.6	back at the best of the tournament so far discussing England's side of the draw and with the help
0:34.5	of Barcelona based presenter Alex Iberseta will be taking a
0:37.8	close look at Spain and their form at the moment. So stay tuned for all of that and much, much
0:43.5	more.
0:45.8	Rach, we've done it. We're into the course of finals. The stage is set. The last eights are set.
0:51.9	It is Norway versus Italy. Swindon? Sweden versus England.
0:56.1	God, did they get in? Fucking hell. Yeah, Swindon town. Yeah, yeah. They haven't a hope against Spain.
1:01.6	Sweden versus England. Spain versus Switzerland. France versus Germany. We'll talk about the draw itself

1:47.9	And, you know, a lot of the time it is the moments on the pitch and the action on the pitch.
1:52.1	And, you know, major tournaments are hard to shoot.
1:54.4	You don't always get what you want.
1:55.7	Like, it's one thing having a bad game and putting that to bed and thinking next week would be better. But when you're shooting 12 games in a row and you have a couple of games where you miss
2:04.5	the moments because they're the other end or you're the other side or the players run the other way,
2:09.2	it can get like frustrating as the games go on.
