Euro 2016: Round of 16 Results, Quarter-Final Predictions and Title Odds
Minnows Iceland were the final side to book a spot in the last eight of UEFA Euro 2016 as they beat England 2-1 in Nice on Monday in one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history.
Wayne Rooney put England ahead from the penalty spot inside four minutes. But Ragnar Sigurdsson bundled in an equaliser two minutes later and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson claimed what would eventually prove the winner soon after when his shot slipped through Joe Hart's attempted save.
Earlier in the day, Italy produced one of the displays of the tournament so far to knock out defending champions Spain with a 2-0 last-16 win at Paris' Stade de France.

France, Germany the Teams to Beat
France's hopes of winning their home Euros were given a major boost on Monday as England were knocked out by Iceland.
The Nordic outfit have yet to be beaten in the tournament so far, and their progress has been one of the stories of the competition, but France will surely have too much quality for them in the last eight.
Les Bleus went a goal down early in their last-16 clash with Republic of Ireland, but an Antoine Griezmann double saw them eventually prevail.
With the likes of Griezmann, Dimitri Payet and Paul Pogba in the French side, Iceland will likely finally fall to defeat, and the hosts should advance to the last four.
There they will face either Germany or Italy, with the world champions having eased past Slovakia 3-0 in the last 16, and the Azzurri having seen off defending Euro champions Spain.
Italy have been one of the big surprises of the 2016 tournament, with manager Antonio Conte creating a team significantly more than the sum of their parts, and history favours them against the Germans, per Ben Smith:
Per Bleacher Report UK, Italy's side of the draw is a brutal one, and they will, in all likelihood, have beaten Spain, Germany and France if they end up in the final next month:
But after their display against the Spanish—and their opening group-stage win over Belgium—they have proved to be one of the best organised sides in the tournament.
The other half of the bracket is similarly fascinating, but for different reasons. It contains four teams who have not won a major international tournament between them, but also the top-ranked side in the competition.
Per FIFA, Belgium are the second-best side in the world behind Argentina, and they turned on the style in the last 16, beating Hungary 4-0.
Kevin De Bruyne, Toby Alderweireld, and Radja Nainggolan all showed touches of class, while Eden Hazard was outstanding, per Squawka:
Belgium face Wales in the last eight, who have their own superstar in the shape of Gareth Bale, but the Red Devils' greater overall quality should see them through to the semi-finals.
And it could be Hazard against Cristiano Ronaldo in the last four as Portugal are favourites to see off Poland having beaten an excellent Croatia side in the round of 16.
Ronaldo has had a mixed tournament so far, but Poland's talisman, Robert Lewandowski, has looked some way off the pace, per German football writer Stefan Bienkowski:
If it comes down to which of Ronaldo or Lewandowski has a better game in their quarter-final, Portugal look likely to edge it.
