I think they used to call it 2nd Round. But there must be something that continues the pattern better. Final, semi, quarter...octothingy? |  | | |  |

In German the round is known as the "Achtelfinale" - literally "Eighth Final", but it feels a little clumsy in English. |  |

2nd round was fine, Round of 16 is a European phrase. As its the Euros, its no big deal. |  |

The ‘proper tournament’. When a lot of the dirge that qualified for greedy UEFA’s expanded tournament disappears. The tournament quality has been watered down, and it shows in some incredibly dull games - too many teams whose only ambition is to not get thumped 5-0 resulting in some very cautious football. | | | |

Agreed. The good thing about the Euros usually is that there aren't too many duffers in it, it's generally 16 good sides and the quality is usually high as a result. Start adding the likes of Slovakia and Scotland to the mix and suddenly it's not so hot. |  |
