For Euro 2016, the tournament to determine the European champion in soccer, Psyonix and ESPN decided to take it up a notch. The 24 best teams in the Rocket League were brought together to simulate the tournament, except instead of people, there are cars moving at maniacal speeds hitting an oversized ball.

What is the Rocket League? It's soccer with rocket-propelled cars and aerial maneuvers played in a five-minute match. The result is pure, rocket-fueled, best-of-three matches with teams like No. 1-ranked We Dem Girlz representing Germany, No. 2 iBUYPOWER Cosmic flying the colors of Spain, and No. 3 Kings of Urban taking up England's banner.

The field has been trimmed to 16 -- who has advanced, and who's going home? Stay tuned as we release the rest of the results as the week progresses.
