Here’s today’s #TFAArchives where we dip into the back catalogue of over 10,000 articles and pull out anything that is relevant right now.

David Raum came off the bench and made an impact for Germany, providing the assist for their equalising goal versus Switzerland yesterday. We analysed how the ex-Hoffenheim man established himself as a creative force in the Bundesliga a couple of years ago. Could he play an even greater role in future Euros matches?

Turkey shipped three to Portugal in a poor second-game display over the weekend while their defence in the first game with Georgia did little to inspire confidence either. We highlighted some of their common defensive errors in our pre-Euros preview — can they limit them in what could be a crucial game three showdown with Czechia or can the Czechs exploit these issues for their benefit?

Before their must-win versus Italy today, Croatia will have worked on these defensive issues we highlighted in last week’s scout report — can they solve these problems in time or will the Italians run riot?

If Croatia are to advance, they may need to exploit the defensive issues in this Italy side which we highlighted pre-Euros. Read all about their pressing issues, why we recommended a back-five and how they can be got at in transitions.
