Several teams were touted as Euro 2024 contenders in the build up to this Summer's tournament, and after every one of them has taken to the field, it's hosts Germany and three-time Euros champions Spain who have looked the most impressive.
England and France came into the tournament as the top two favourites, but both scraped through their opening fixtures with unconvincing 1 - 0 victories. Spain and Germany meanwhile were free-flowing and free-scoring.
England started just as well if not better than Spain in their opening game against Serbia. Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham had caused all sorts of problems for their Group C rivals, before the Arsenal winger set up the Real Madrid star to score the opening goal. And that was about it.
It was somewhat bizarre how England were able to start so frantically and play the last hour of the game almost entirely in their own half. Serbia were certainly better than anyone expected, but it wasn't convincing from England.
France didn't struggle to get out of their own half as much as England did, but they certainly have improvements to make all the same.
Les Bleus were wasteful in possession, especially in the attacking third, and while they generated more chances than opponents Austria, they had three shots on target each. This is in spite of the French having fourteen shots to Austria's six.
Add to that the potential absence of Kylian Mbappe as a result of his broken nose and France might have themselves a real test on the horizon against the Dutch.
For both Spain and Germany it's been far more plain sailing so far. Germany were incredibly impressive, recording the biggest ever win on the opening night of a Euros, but it's fair to say Scotland played a significant role in the 5 - 1 scoreline.
It's Spain who have been the most impressive so far. Not only are they ludicrously difficult to dispossess but they move the ball with menacing tempo. Their goals were outstanding, especially the second from Fabian Ruiz, and Croatia, despite not doing a whole lot wrong, were ripped to shreds in a blistering first half.
The key thing in the first game however is simply to win. England and France managed that, however unconvincingly, and all of Portugal, Netherlands and Italy overcame tough opponents to earn hard-fought 2 - 1 victories.
It's also worth picking Portugal out, as they're the only one of the contenders to have started their group against their toughest opponent.
Czechia were very defensive and got what looked as though it could be a decisive goal with less than 30 minutes to go, but Portugal hit back. An own goal levelled the game with 20 minutes of normal time to play before Francisco Conceicao won the game with his first Portugal goal.
It wasn't Portugal's best performance by any means, but their vast depth came through, with their third formation of the match finally delivering the system they needed to break the resilient Czechs down.
League titles are often decided by teams finding a way to get a late goal in a big game, and that's exactly what Roberto Martinez's team have managed in their very first game.
Euro 2024 has been a very goal-heavy tournament so far, with over 30 goals across the opening 12 games. This suggests that winning the tournament could well come down to who can keep a strong style of attacking football running throughout the tournament.
Likely the most intriguing matches in this second round will be today's game between Germany and Hungary, and the Group D heavyweight showdown between France and the Netherlands.
Germany had it easy against a woeful Scotland side in the tournament's opening game, so it'll be interesting to see how they fare against what should be a much tougher opponent in Hungary.
France meanwhile would be strong favourites to beat the Dutch under usual circumstances, especially given Ronald Koeman's midfield injury crisis, but with star man Kylian Mbappe potentially unavailable to Didier Deschamps, the task of beating the Netherlands could be a very difficult one for France.
Essentially, after one matchday, it's pretty much impossible to pick out a favourite, and that's exactly what sets this tournament up to potentially be one for the ages.
