Group A games done

 Group A has wrapped up.  Italy beat Wales 1-0 and Switzerland beat Turkey 3-1. Italy finishes on top of group A with 9 points, Wales and Switzerland have four points and Turkey finishes with 0. Italy is into the round of 16 as is Wales.  Wales gets in by virtue of better goals differential (+1 to -1. Wales and Switzerland had tied their game).  Switzerland may be one of the four best third place teams.  Turkey is out.

Both games on Saturday.
