Good morning! Last night we watched the Copa America final, where Chile scored their second title in two years over Argentina. Lionel Messi, who helped his Argentinian squad score a huge win over the United States earlier, was understandably disappointed by the loss as Chile celebrated.

By the way… Team SQ will be taking a short break while we prepare to provide you with in-depth Olympics analysis. Look for an issue on Tuesday, July 5th, and then we’ll be back on the 1st of August with all the news you need to know.

QUIPS FOR THIS WEEK

Soccer

On Tuesday, Argentina crushed the United States 4-0 to move out of the semifinals, and on Wednesday, Chile scored a 2-0 win over Colombia to meet Argentina in the Copa America final. But then, on Sunday, in a repeat of last year’s Copa, Chile beat Argentina. After 120 minutes of regular and extra time, Chile won 4-2 on penalties.

The round of 16 for Euro 2016 started yesterday with France scoring a 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland, Hungary losing 0-4 to Belgium, and Germany beating Slovakia 3-0. How did we get here? Well, the top two teams in each group, plus the four best third-place teams qualify for the round of 16. The top teams were Belgium, Croatia, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Spain, and Wales, and the best third-place teams were Northern Ireland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, and Slovakia.
