20 16 European Cup:
In the 20 16 European Cup, the number of participating teams increased from 16 to 24, and the rules of the game also changed. Twenty-four teams were divided into six groups for the group stage, and finally the top two teams (a total of 12 teams) advanced to the knockout stage together with the third place with the best record in the four groups. Portugal has become the beneficiary of this new rule.
In the group stage, Portugal's state is not ideal. The first game was tied by Iceland 1- 1. Nani scored in the 37th minute, but Iceland equalized in the 50th minute. Cristiano Ronaldo's header was saved by Haldorsen in the 85th minute, which failed to complete the lore.
Portugal and Austria drew 0-0 in the second match. After two games, Portugal, like Iceland, scored 2 points, Hungary 1 won 1 accumulated 4 points, Austria 1 drew 1 and lost 1. Portugal wants to qualify for the group, at least Hungary will be drawn in the last game.
