The draw for the latter stages
of the European Championship was made in Paris, 16 January 1968,
starting with the quarter-finals.
|
notes |
The
England and Spain quarter-final match was the last to be formulated, as both
England and Scotland had been drawn against that country.
The other
quarter-finals were France vs. Yugoslavia, Hungary vs. USSR and
Bulgaria vs. Italy. The semi-finals would be thus... Scotland,
England or Spain vs. France or Yugoslavia, and Hungary or USSR vs.
Bulgaria or Italy. |
