Austria are winning plaudits as a dark horse after they topped a group containing France and the Netherlands, but the best underdog story of the tournament so far is that of tournament debutants Georgia.
Remarkably, the Georgia football team did not exist until after Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo turned five years old in 1990, and they were not admitted into FIFA until 1992. After 14 failed qualification attempts, they made it to Euro 2024 and will now face Spain for a place in the quarter-finals.
And while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will start as huge underdogs for the clash in Cologne on Sunday, if they believe in omens then they could be in for yet more success in Germany.
