Italy are the defending champions from the last competition, they do not have any star players currently and seem to be underrated, but they play so well and may still win it.

Which of the teams will likely win the competition this year?
- England?
- France?
- Portugal?
- Spain?
- Italy?
- Netherlands?
- Belgium?
- Croatia?

It doesn't feel like we are already ahead of the EURO which will be held again after previously seeing Italy succeed in becoming champions.

It is not easy to predict who will be able to achieve success in this tournament, because every time this tournament is held, there are always surprises that they can show.

I myself want to see the teams that are considered dark horses give a big surprise, that will make this tournament more interesting.

It will most likely come from the usual European powerhouse. Is there a reason why you didn't include the host country?

As per recent odds, England is the favorite which is followed by France and Germany. I have no problem with that but I think Spain will remain as a threat. The defending champions are down to 6th @15.1

Germans are not performing that great lately, but having home advantage is not something to be ignored. They shouldn't have a problem advancing from the group stage, but I don't think they have what it takes to win the entire tournament.
I have a feeling that one of the underdogs could turn up to win it.

Italy has star players although they are not very famous. In the competition like Euro, the star players won't be the most important factor to win the competition. How the team to play solidly will be the main factor, it determines a team whether to win or lose the match. Sometimes, having too many star players just make the team to play more individually.

Which of the teams will likely win the competition this year?
- England?
- France?
- Portugal?
England and France are the most favorite teams to win Euro. But many people predicted that Portugal will win the Euro. If we look at the quality of the squad, England and France are the best teams. However, I can understand if people prefer to choose Portugal as the candidate for a champion because this team often surprises us.

From the last performance of England and Germany, I think one of them will carry the cup. Though in football we don't have to predict only for the strong teams and this what we did the 2022 world cup and those teams that we not doing well as we thought were playing very well in the world cup and Croatia was one of thr teams. So I think Croatia will do well I this Euro 2024.

No reasons in particular, I just forgot to mention their name. Germany are also contenders, And I have to believe this because there is a sort of motivation that playing in front of your home crowd will give you, I saw that in the African cup of Nations that just passed, Ivory Coast won it even though they did not start the competition as the strongest and favorites to win it. Their home supporters played a key role.

I have a feeling that one of the underdogs could turn up to win it.
Netherlands are very underrated, not expected to win it by many, but they can win it.

Yeah, the motivation these players get from playing in front of the home crowd is something else. In the last Euro, I thought it was one of the biggest reasons why England made it to the Finals and almost won it all.

The Dutch team are always one of the biggest flops in major tournaments back from the days of Arjen Ruben.

I am so excited with one week left before facing Euro 2024 matches, many top European national team will participants and I think Portugal has opportunity qualify until highest level round to semifinal. But has unpredictable in Euro 2024 because some national teams will more motivate playing and some players want to make their self get attention for getting interested from scout talent.

Indeed Portugal has France are favorite national team for winning Euro 2024, the last edition winner Italy seems not really favorite for winning Euro 2024.

England failed to win their second friendly match against Iceland, and that either spells doom, or will be an eye opener, a call to sit up. The Euro's will be tough and I bet that we must have some unpredictable results and outcomes from some games. If England's coach fails to make the numerous talented players in the English team to play as a unit, a team, they will not be able to get to the semi-finals of this competition.

Few days more, all coaches need to get their strategy right.
Title: Re: [football] EURO 2024
Post by: Lucius on June 08, 2024, 04:24:00 PM
Many favor England, although I think they are far from their glory days, maybe not only because they don't have good players, but because they have a coach who is not up to the task. Judging by the friendly matches, they don't seem too convincing, but I think the real strength will be seen only when the competitive matches start.

With so many strong teams, it's really hard to say who could be the winner, but I will support my team, which plays very successfully in the world championships, but they don't have much luck in the European championship. Therefore, I hope that Croatia will manage to pass perhaps the most difficult group (Spain, Italy, Albania) and then continue towards the semi-finals - and regardless of the victory against North Macedonia, today is a real test against Portugal.

I'll keep an eye on Croatia because it has already been mentioned twice here. I got curious and read some articles about the current squad. All are positive and pointing out that it is one of the best to be assembled. Another factor for the team's success could be Modric who already won a lot of club competitions. He'll definitely want to add this before he retires from international duty.

After the league ends we'll keep the party going with the EURO 2024 broadcast starting in a few days.

For the favorite team I see the chance to win in this competition is France and Portugal while for England although they have many great players somehow always fail when in his own national team I am not sure for now England can finish in the final.

Definitely an underestimated team, regardless of the fact that they won silver and bronze medals at the last two world championships and played in the final of the League of Nations, which is a kind of European championship. Modric is a great legend who still plays at an enviable level, Gvardiol is one of the best defensive players in the world, Budimir is one of the best scorers in the Spanish league, Livakovic is an excellent goalkeeper, and many young players show great potential.

Yesterday, Croatia beat Portugal on their field, which says enough that they are extremely motivated to finally do something at the European Championship - I think that Modric is still playing for the national team just because of that.

Portugal passed on the favor to Ireland in their friendly game today; the game ended 3-0 to Portugal, with Ronaldo showing that he is battle-ready for the Euro competition by scoring a brace.

Friendly games are not a good judge of how a team will perform in a competition; they only give an idea. From what we saw in the Portugal game, Portugal is as ready as Croatia, and maybe the defeat to Croatia has increased their seriousness.
Title: Re: [football] EURO 2024
Post by: Lucius on June 12, 2024, 04:38:24 PM
@Rruchi man, it seems that Ronaldo is to Portugal what Modric is to Croatia and that every team is not equally effective without them - and maybe the result of the match that ended in favor of Croatia would have been different if Ronaldo had played.

I agree that friendly matches are not a true indicator of the strength and determination of a team, but they can give or take away the confidence of any team. Psychologically, it can have an impact on the players, because none of them wants to lose, even in such matches.

There are only two days left until the start of the championship - and perhaps one of the interesting things is that for the first time in a football competition it will be forbidden to wear fake jerseys for fans - the fine will be up to 5000 EUR. Original jerseys range from 100 EUR to 150 EUR, so that should also be taken into account if someone is going to Germany.

On the occasion of Euro2024, however, a new regulation will be introduced, the one against fake jerseys. Sport marketing expert Merrick Haydon explains to Sport Bible how the trademark law in Germany is extremely strict. Violating this law in the country hosting the competition leads to very serious sanctions with fines of up to €5000.

It is good that these legendary players can still perform at the high level for their country even after passing their prime. This is definitely the last competition for the two of them.

This is to increase the sales of original, and for the home country, will even increase their sales if Germany is able to get to the finals.

It is not every fan that will be able to buy the original Jersey, so this to an extent will discourage some people from wearing Jersey to support their country or favourite player.

They are only creating unnecessary drama with this on match days but I guess it's still something most traveling fans should be aware of. Maybe they already knew because a lot of news articles came out warning them about 10 days ago. I hope someone makes a reliable report if this law affected attendance in stadiums.

Well, I trust in Toni Kross's good management. Ever since this player started to appear in German matches, everything started to take its course. In some way, the player makes everything balance out and Germany can play with more confidence At least that's what I've seen in the friendly matches. I hope that Germany gives us a good Demonstration of football because they have Shown great taste in the Bundesliga, and German football has always been one of the best in the world,  Germany is a very strong country, and I think that on this occasion, in the Euro, they will give everything they have because they have to please their country.

Germany has actually been in decline for a long time, and maybe that even happened after they won the World Cup. I don't know what happened, but I saw that regeneration was not going well there.

It was proven that after Tony Kross returned to being part of them, for example, their game became even more lively, exactly as you said. They are starting to find their groove again now. Maybe they can learn from this so they can carry out the regeneration process better.

It is very likely that it could be their last big competition - although a few months ago they asked Modric about the next world championship and he did not explicitly say that he would not perform there. He is one of those who really enjoy football, and he got a new contract with Real Madrid for next season.


This is to increase the sales of original, and for the home country, will even increase their sales if Germany is able to get to the finals.

I am of the opinion that everyone should protect their rights, including manufacturers of sports equipment whose jerseys some copy and then sell even as originals. However, it is not only about jerseys, because in Germany there is a law that prohibits the purchase, distribution and possession of fake clothes.

However, I don't know how the Germans plan to carry out checks on hundreds of thousands of fans who will be in their country - they won't strip people on the street and look at the labels on the jerseys ::)

Germany national team have been longer time not winning Euro and this time as the host must be perform well to get the Euro tittle. Since winning the World Cup 2014, Germany national team has decline performance and most of bigger edition aways failure from two world cup and euro edition failed reach until final round.
Toni Kroos return back to national team and become his last appearance after Euro 2024 will retire and he want give top perform and winning the tittle before leaving football as his career.

Unless it is the very sophisticated fake or Original fake, fake jerseys are easier to spot from their texture, and prints.

Also, since there is an existing law against fake clothing in Germany,  Germans will not be part of the many victims. Visitors for the competition will be the most affected because some of them may have been cheated, they intended to buy the original but were cheated because they could not distinguish between the two.

I would say England is still better favorites to win this year than France if you ask me. I know that a lot of people trust France because of last world cup, and to be fair the previous one before that, but I do not think that it will translate well here. I believe that England had a shot, missed it, and want to take it now. They are doing great, and I believe that combination of those great young stars coming up, such as Jude, combined with other veteran stars, I think they have a shot. They are at the ripe place in history, you do not fit both those at their peak all at the same time so we are going to see them do very well.

England is usually among the favourites, given their Premier League is considered the best league in the world, but they don't tend to be very lucky in international tournaments. They finished 2nd in 2020 which was their best Euro position in the history.
Their recent performance in friendlies doesn't spark much optimism: 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Yes, they will have the status as hosts, so they must be able to take advantage of that status to enable them to show something very good and even become champions in this edition of EURO.

It is indeed difficult even though they have the status of host, because other countries have also prepared everything. England, for example, can even be said to have a luxurious squad every year, but that doesn't mean they can become champions.

Maybe there is information somewhere, but how many foreigners actually play in the Premier League? All the strongest European leagues are full of foreigners and that is why the best football is played in them, but that does not mean that their national teams are equally good.

As far as I know, England won first place once upon a time, but that was more than 50 years ago - but regardless of that, people always consider them favorites only because they are called the English football team, I guess.

I hope that tonight will be a good match, although tomorrow we will have the first strong match between Spain and Croatia, after all, it is a match between the 8th and 10th national teams from the FIFA ranking.

The line-up has already appeared in the opening match of Germany vs Scotland.

The best bet is to choose Germany with small odds but the possibility of winning although it will not be easy for Germany, people often see in terms of friendly matches some time ago, I say it is not a real match and the competition will start soon so every goal and point is important for every national team.

The game kicks off in a few minutes, and Germany, to me, should win this game and get all three points to start the competition. I predict Havertz to score and Germany to win the game by a 2-1 score.

Drop your predictions for the game. The winner gets lots of Karma ;)

Germany was able to start the opening match in a grand style dominating the match and scoring three goals in the first half, which is the first history. Scotland started the match defending and that made them weak because the Germans were just attacking them. Wirtz scored the first goal in 10 minutes of the first half, making him the youngest German play in history to score the opening goal in Euro. Ryan Porteous got a red card due to a hard tackle inside his own box, which led to the third goal scored by Havertz with a penalty kick in the 45+1 extra time. The second half is on and the match is still 3-0.

I mean it wasn't "really" unexpected that Germany won with ease. Ok maybe the score line looks a little bit much because I did expect Germany to win, but I expected like 2-0 or something and not like this, but Germany has that "don't stop until the game ends" type of thing, like scoring seven, or in Bundesliga even, Bayern once scored like 20 goals, other teams all around the world stop, Germany likes just to dominate even further. In the end, we all wagered on an easy win, I wagered that Wirtz would score on top of that too, so that wasn't really a bad thing that he found a goal very early on, it was a very calm game watch as a gambler.

Germany being the host country, I drummed my support for them to win the Euro Cup this season. We saw how they mercilessly drilled Scotland with a score of 5-1, owing to the ball possession of 73%. Their next match will be against Hungary, that's another win for them. The winning will continue until the finals. if the god of soccer favors them, they lift it. If he doesn't that's football for us.

It's just that it was really overwhelming, I didn't think the Germans would dominate so much, even so I take my hat off to Toni Kross, I don't know, but if you noticed the moment Kross came on was when Scotland conceded their first goal and the team looked a bit disorganized, it's not that I'm a big Kross fan, but I don't see this type of player in Germany, only him, of course except for Muller who is one of the best in Germany, but even so I think that what Kross does is much greater.

A really good start by the German team. I expected to see both teams playing carefully and defensively and the game ending with like 1-0 for the hosts, but things went completely different.
I think the early goal by Wirts set the tone, and the well-deserved red card at the end of the 1st half was a nail in the coffin for Scotland.
I expected Scotland to do a little better. In the past, they proved they were capable of playing at a high level, but they got completely neutralised yesterday. But at least they managed to sore a goal, despite having zero shots on target.

Who would bet on Spain at odds of 1.92? Already a comfort zone for victory for me there's no way Croatia can get more goals back than Spain but this is a great team in the first half with a big lead.

The second half may see Croatia press more for Spain but I believe Spain can maintain their lead, but it could be that Spain's game doesn't change and they could have another goal fest in the second half.

Spain was unable to score a goal in the second half which means that the croatian coach was tactically able to fix his team in a second half with the changes he made both in substitution and in style of play. Even with this defeat to Croatia, I still do not rule them out of this competition because they can improve massively from this defeat in their second game and further into the competition. 

Italy is currently leading Albania by 2-1 in just the first half, the game is far from over.

Croatia played better in the second half than in the first half,and Spain took advantage of their weakness in the first half by scoring 3 goals. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the goals entering on the 27th minutes of the game till the last minute of the first half. This should be a motivation for Croatia in their next match for them to strive and win the match. Croatia still have hope.

Germany being the host country, I drummed my support for them to win the Euro Cup this season. We saw how they mercilessly drilled Scotland with a score of 5-1, owing to the ball possession of 73%. Their next match will be against Hungary, that's another win for them. The winning will continue until the finals. if the god of soccer favors them, they lift it. If he doesn't that's football for us.

It's just that it was really overwhelming, I didn't think the Germans would dominate so much, even so I take my hat off to Toni Kross, I don't know, but if you noticed the moment Kross came on was when Scotland conceded their first goal and the team looked a bit disorganized, it's not that I'm a big Kross fan, but I don't see this type of player in Germany, only him, of course except for Muller who is one of the best in Germany, but even so I think that what Kross does is much greater.
Kross is a great player and a force in football that can't be reckoned with. His impact is always felt in any match he plays in ''club side or country side. I don't why he chose to leave Real Madrid during his prime career in football by resigning from football. I was even surprised that he was going to play for Germany. Who knows whether this year's Euro League matches will be the last match he will represent his country(Germany)? However, I think he will do his best in the field of play, to make sure the Germans lift the Euro Cup

Toni Kross is 34 years of age, way past his prime in football even though his quality still shows. He has been in Real Madrid for like 10years in his career, it is normal for him to retire from playing football.

Who knows whether this year's Euro League matches will be the last match he will represent his country(Germany)?
This is his last competition for his National side, It will be his greatest joy to be able to help his country host and win the euros.

There is no doubt that Kroos is a very great player, his presence in midfield brings calm to the teams he plays for, including his country.

But his decision to retire after playing EURO is a decision he has made. He wanted to retire at the peak of his career and now in my opinion it is the peak of his career that at his own club he has managed to become champion again with Real Madrid.

quite sad about his decision, but we can't do anything about it, even though we still want to see him play.

Very bad performance from Croatia, although a little better in the second half, it all looked very bad and now the only question is whether they can change something in their approach to the game. Teams like Spain that play fast football and have super fast counter attacks are always superior to teams that generally play some version of slow football.

As for the second match in the group, Albania was a tough nut for Italy and in the end was very close to equalizing the result. At this moment, I think that Albania has a chance to go to the second round as the best third if Croatia plays the same game as in the first game.

Croatia is included in Group B so it will be more difficult for Croatia they will face quite heavy opponents later like Spain and Italy while this team is the favorite to qualify in the group phase.
Now we will see from the match between Croatia vs Italy because it could be that Italy loses then Croatia's steps are still hopeful although I'm sure Italy will not be easy to beat, it's just that Croatia's hopes are still there but it's so hard to face it.

Currently the match taking place is the Slovenia vs Denmark match. And my favorite team is Denmark for this match. And currently the score is 0-1 in favor of Denmark. The match was still in the 23rd minute of the first half. And Denmark actually controlled more of the ball from the first minute. So I think the second goal could have been scored again in the first half.

Winning duels is key, Spain won many duels in the first half.
Croatia did have a solid late-game push but Croatia's late surge couldn't change the outcome.
Nacho and Cucurella's defensive resilience solidified their win,  especially during crucial phases (61-75 min) when Croatia was on the offensive.
Overall, Spain's efficient finishing and solid defense led them to win
And Croatia must go back to training and try to bounce back immediately in the next game

The match between England and Serbia first half is over as I am writing this post and they are on 15 minutes break. England dominated the first half and lost some opportunities that was supposed to be converted to a goal. Bellingham was able to score an early goal with a superb header on the 13th minutes of the match to put his club on the lead. Serbia had few opportunities but England defense was strong enough to stop them. The first half ended 1-0.

And there were no more goals in the second half. The only goal was in the first half. And the match ended with a score of 0-1. Honestly, this is quite surprising to me. Because I think England will be able to win with at least 2 goals in this match. But it turned out that England had difficulty scoring goals again. And the goal scored by Bellingham was the only goal in the match which brought victory to England.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's match, namely Portugal vs Czech. I think this match will be very interesting.

Three points for the Three Lions. It was a good start for England but not a good game.
They didn't look too convincing when attacking, England needs Palmer more than they need to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at midfield.
England has a lot of good players but Southgate is too cautious
But I know this is a tournament, not just one match, Palmer's time will come and when that opportunity comes, he will shine and the fans will smile.

We got a great win against Georgia, which was of course expected before the game but the game looked closer than we hoped for. Thankfully our young superstar Arda scored a big banger, and that way we have ended up ahead, then last goal came in very last minute when their GK wasn't even at his post, so that was an easy one. I think rest will be easier, because we will have less stress, even if we lose to Portugal, which may happen, we may end up winning against Czhech republic and that would not be all that complicated, we should be considering the situation to be not that crazy when we have the time.

Today I confirmed that whoever Real Madrid fights to sign to their club is a world class player even if you are just ten years of age. Arda's goal was as good as Turkiye's first goal, and his goal removed the pressure that Georgia was putting in, it killed their spirit.

I think rest will be easier, because we will have less stress, even if we lose to Portugal, which may happen, we may end up winning against Czhech republic and that would not be all that complicated, we should be considering the situation to be not that crazy when we have the time.
Don't start assuming so soon. Czechia are in the competition not as spectators but also to make a record. They will not allow Turkiye win so easily, just as they are making Portugal currently struggle to even just score a goal.

Portugal really had a hard time winning the Czech Republic tonight. The Czech Republic gave Portugal a tough time before they scored their late-minute goal that ended the match 2:1 in Portugal's favor.

Turkey is to meet against Portugal next before the Czech Republic. Turkey's performance against Portugal will give us an idea of what we can expect when they face the Czech Republic.

As it is, Turkey should prepare harder as they face Portugal next because it is going to be a tough match of that.

Although Ronaldo can play since the first minute, it is true that they got difficulty to score goals. They only could score after several players have been changed by the coach. I think the coach (Martinez) needs to evaluate the players who can't play effectively as the starters. Or it may be about the tactics, Portugal looks not really aggressively in this match. However, it is lucky that they could win with 2 goals, 1 goal got from the opponent defender's own goal. Portugal attackers weren't performing well in this match.

Turkey's performance looks quite promising. Moreover, Arda Guler can score 1 goal. They are leading the table after they scored 3 goals. If they can maintain this performance, they can have a chance to win against Portugal.  ;)

I don't think need evaluate for Cristiano Ronaldo who playing in the first minutes but failed to score last night against Czech Republic team. Ronaldo helped the other players get more space because the opponent teams defender will pressure him and give space for his team mate get more opportunity. I think Portugal head coach Martinez keep give him opportunity for second match get regular position against Turkey.

The most beautiful goals from Arda Guler and he was success break out Cristiano Ronaldo record as debut and youth players can scoring goals. He has success helped Turkey won over 3-1 against Georgia and its make close opportunity for qualifying to knock out round.

There are 3 matches today that I think will be quite easy to predict the results of. These 3 matches are

1. Croatia vs Albania
In this match Croatia will be the favorite. Even though Croatia failed in the first match against Spain. But Croatia's quality is actually no less good than Spain. It's just that Croatia is not good at converting opportunities into goals.

2. Germany vs Hungary
For this match, I think it is clear which team will be the favorite and will win quite easily.

3. Scotland vs Switzerland.
For this match, Switzerland is the team that I will favourite. Because I was quite impressed with their performance when they managed to beat Hungary in the first match.

Croatia are the favourites, at least as far as the bookies are concerned - but I watched both games in that group and unlike Croatia who played a very bad game, Albania was more than an equal opponent to Italy and it would have been fair if that game had ended in a draw. The coach of Croatia will make some changes regarding the players who will start the match, but whatever he does, the imperative of victory will put a lot of pressure on both teams.

Switzerland played a good match against Hungary, but until the very end the result was quite uncertain. However, Scotland showed that it cannot withstand the pressure for long, and if the Swiss are up to the task, it is logical to expect their victory.

Yes, Albania can indeed be expected to provide fierce resistance against Croatia. Just as they managed to surprise Italy with the initial goal they managed to get in the first minute at that time. But if Croatia succeeds in improving their weakness in taking advantage of opportunities then I am sure Croatia will really make this match theirs and win the match quite comfortably.

Well, I trust in Toni Kross's good management. Ever since this player started to appear in German matches, everything started to take its course. In some way, the player makes everything balance out and Germany can play with more confidence At least that's what I've seen in the friendly matches. I hope that Germany gives us a good Demonstration of football because they have Shown great taste in the Bundesliga, and German football has always been one of the best in the world,  Germany is a very strong country, and I think that on this occasion, in the Euro, they will give everything they have because they have to please their country.
Germany has actually been in decline for a long time, and maybe that even happened after they won the World Cup. I don't know what happened, but I saw that regeneration was not going well there.

It was proven that after Tony Kross returned to being part of them, for example, their game became even more lively, exactly as you said. They are starting to find their groove again now. Maybe they can learn from this so they can carry out the regeneration process better.

You are absolutely right, I have a special affection for the country, which is why I support its football, and the emotions they have given us in the Bundesliga are something that makes the Germans dream even more Now that they are the hosts, they will certainly give their best and I hope that they will value Kross in their ranks , because he is one of the best footballers in the world It is also a shame that he has retired from football, which is why this Euro has great sentimental value Many will want Kross not to leave yet He has to win his first match, and the German people believe that he deserves it.

After half an hour of the game, Germany is leading 1-0 against Hungary, after a 22nd minute goal by Jamal Musiala (very German name btw). If they drive that win till the end, they will secure their advancement to the next stage. It'll be over for the Hungary.
The Hungarians are still fighting and, despite getting dominated in ball possession, can create chances, so it's far from over. I hope they'll manage to earn at least 1 point.

It turns out that Croatia really can't play as well as they used to. And Croatia almost won the match but they were careless in the final minute and in the end Albania were able to equalize which made everyone who bet on Croatia feel annoyed with the result. Well this is not a good result for Croatia. Because they really need to win in this match. If they don't win, it will be increasingly impossible for Croatia to advance from the group phase to the round of 16.

The Germany vs Hungary match seems to be going according to predictions. Because Germany did not disappoint us. even now the score has become 2-0 on Germany's advantage. And the match is still going on in the 70th minute and maybe Germany can still add goals in this match.

Arda Guler is also one of the players who is widely highlighted, especially after he managed to score a goal. How this young player can play well and contribute greatly to his country. This is a good thing before he returns to Real Madrid, he must be consistent.

There is no doubt that Germany will be favored to win the Euro now as the host again, their game is so impressive because they are surrounded by many great players so I do not doubt Germany until the final.

Germany has beaten Scotland and Hungary while against Switzerland in the next match where Switzerland will be a strong contender for Group A so I wonder the result whether Germany has difficulty or not but basically Germany will still win.

I don't think need evaluate for Cristiano Ronaldo who playing in the first minutes but failed to score last night against Czech Republic team. Ronaldo helped the other players get more space because the opponent teams defender will pressure him and give space for his team mate get more opportunity.
If you checked carefully my post, I never stated to evaluate Ronaldo. I told Martinez needs to evaluate which players will be effective to be the starters for the next match. Choosing the right players to be starters will bring big impacts. It may determine how the team to play in the match, whether they can play solidly and effectively. It will be good if they can score earlier in the match, it will increase the chance to win.  ;)

Sure, Ronaldo always played well. He contributed a lot for the team although he didn't score in the match. I don't see another striker who deserves to replace Ronaldo's position in Portugal team. Moreover, he is the captain as well.

I think Portugal head coach Martinez keep give him opportunity for second match get regular position against Turkey.
I no doubt about this. Ronaldo must play again in the match against Turkey. He is the best striker that Portugal has now. It is too stupid if Martinez puts him on the bench.

The most beautiful goals from Arda Guler and he was success break out Cristiano Ronaldo record as debut and youth players can scoring goals. He has success helped Turkey won over 3-1 against Georgia and its make close opportunity for qualifying to knock out round.
Yep. Arda Guler is amazing wonderkid. He breaks the record and he opens the chance for another records with his very young age. His role is also very important for Turkey, he must get a lot of time to play during this Euro 2024. This will be good for his career because he is playing in the high level of competition and he gets enough time to play.

Croatia has been the biggest dissapointment of the tournament so far, and we can basically just call it a day for them already, I don't think they will be even in the third place that goes higher, they are just doing terrible. They should have beaten Albania easily, how is this team so much worse compared to only two years ago? In the end, that's a bet that I will not repeat, let them do whatever. Germany was exactly how I imagined they would be like, its great to be right about some of the games at least, Germany doesn't play around, if they are better than a team, then they just end up winning, no jokes.

I can see why you're disappointed. The match against Albania should have been a free ticket to earn three points and move up in the table but they wasted the chance. Okay, they maybe unlucky with the equalizer when the pass was deflected and went straight to Gjasula but they still put themselves in that vulnerable position.

The Spain vs Italy match was more like a final match for the two teams in this group stage. Because those who win will be in a safe position and will qualify for the round of 16. And those who lose must fight again in their third match. My favorite is probably Spain. I trust the depth of their squad which always looks so convincing to me. Even though this will be a fierce match, I feel there will be more than 2 goals in this match.

England vs Denmark will also be an exciting match. But England here will clearly be the favourites. So I will not hesitate to choose England in that match. Even though England still had difficulty scoring goals in the first match. But maybe it will be different in this second match.

yes true you are right about that, it seems very much like a final but if you compare it to 15 years ago
Italy has lost a lot of strength in these last years, it didn't even participate in the World Cup, it didn't manage to qualify
think about how bad we are

FULL TIME:  Croatia 2 - 2 Albania
I'm disappointed but the game was amazing
Those final 20 minutes were insane, The magic of football. Incredible match
A sensational fightback from Albania the best match of the tournament so far.
What a match good game from both teams but Albania's draw against a team like Croatia is an achievement Congrats to them


The coach of Croatia repeated the mistake from the match against Spain and started the match with players who are simply not ready for such challenges - and only when he introduced young players like Baturina and Sucic we see what this meant for the game. The real match is against Italy, and if nothing changes from the first minute, Croatia will not be able to beat Italy and will leave the championship by dropping out of the group.



The victory of Germany was expected, but I was disappointed by the Swiss, who failed to beat Scotland, and they will surely have a tough match against Germany.

It turns out that Croatia really can't play as well as they used to. And Croatia almost won the match but they were careless in the final minute and in the end Albania were able to equalize which made everyone who bet on Croatia feel annoyed with the result. Well this is not a good result for Croatia. Because they really need to win in this match. If they don't win, it will be increasingly impossible for Croatia to advance from the group phase to the round of 16.


Croatia must beat Italy to qualify for the knockout phase because there are 4 places available to qualify for the knockout system with the best 3rd place and Croatia could still make it if they win.
Zlatko Dalić has a lot of homework to do, the balance between the front line and defense must be optimized.
The effectiveness of finishing and the solidity of the defense must be improved.
Josip Šutalo and Marin Pongračić were not solid in defense, especially in tackles.

and yes the situation of Croatia is really very critical
in any case it's a pretty tough group this one where Croatia was, but clearly with the draw with Albania everything gets complicated and not a little for them

I would say England is still better favorites to win this year than France if you ask me. I know that a lot of people trust France because of last world cup, and to be fair the previous one before that, but I do not think that it will translate well here. I believe that England had a shot, missed it, and want to take it now. They are doing great, and I believe that combination of those great young stars coming up, such as Jude, combined with other veteran stars, I think they have a shot. They are at the ripe place in history, you do not fit both those at their peak all at the same time so we are going to see them do very well.

I like your statement about England, in fact they have made it Clear that in the PL they are very big and that the most demanding football is in the PL, so the players should be prepared at a very high level and I like that, maybe France has a team machine, but if they don't Understand each other well on the field they won't be able to do much , I have faith in Portugal , in fact one of the reasons is because I want to see CR7 Triumph for what he represents as a Human being and as a soccer player for his effort and dedication, but really the English when they play they do it in a spectacular way , they play very Elegant.

England has never been a great tournament team, to be fair there have been a lot of great english players before and yet we have seen not that many achievements from them as a national team, whenever bunch of amazing english players get together, they become terrible as a team, no idea why. So it is not really a shock that they failed to get a win today, I am pretty sure they are going to go up the stage anyway, but feels like it is going to be still not a win for them afterwards. As soon as they face someone who is semi decent, they are going to end up losing without a doubt, its just matter of time.

England failed to secure qualify to 16 of round after being draw against Denmark and need the last games match for securing next round place, Harry Kane made England lead awhile from his goals on 18th minutes but the most beautiful Morten Hjulmand's goal out penalty box most beautiful help  Denmark get opportunity keep in the race for getting 16 of round place.
England performance not quit well in this match and loss ball possession from  Denmark, statistic Denmark not only dominance with ball possession but made many shot on target than England with ration 7 of 4 shots on goals.

With great players does not guarantee that the national team can be stronger in the game it is a bit difficult to understand actually why a group of great players is not so impressive in the game, is the coach unable to unite them on the field?

If England don't qualify in the group stage it's outrageous with a myriad of great players but fortunately the team is still unbeaten, the last match in the group stage against Slovenia then I think England will win.

Maybe you saw the England vs Denmark game earlier? That game didn't reflect the great players in it at all.

England scored first before Denmark but after that goal Denmark took over the game and equalized the goal. England did not show that they gat all the quality players in England because they were unable to find the back of the net the second time. However, this is the first time for England to concede a goal since the beginning of the tournament.

It surprised me how England chose to have a draw match with Denmark after I predicted a winning match for them. I believe so many people would have their bets lost the same way I do because they think England would win over Denmark due to the caliber of English players they have in their team. However, no doubt, they will qualify out of the group stage but in their other matches that follow, we are not sure whether they can come out victorious to enable them to reach the finals as many have predicted

England will not get to the finals, it is best we cancel it out of our minds because even as they have the talent they do not have the right coach that has the proper tactics to take them through difficult games. is England play against teams like Spain that have very good attack and good finishing, I am not sure that they will win.

Italy lost to Spain today and it was due to a slight defensive mistake. Despite their loss,  I still think that they will advance in the competition.

Although low scoring, the match between Spain and Italy is still entertaining.

Spain was able to put more pressure on Italy's back area and I was actually amazed by Italy's defense which was quite strong when it was continuously being attacked by Spain. but I didn't expect that Italy couldn't do the same thing against Spain's back line. But Spain also had difficulty scoring goals and only winning with a score of 1-0 was actually a reasonable result. considering that both teams both had strong performances even though Italy was more focused on defending.

Actually the Italian defense is quite good especially for Donnarumma who has made several saves, it's just that I see where their attacks are not so exciting, is this more difficult because Spain plays more agile than Italy?
Spain should have won more goals but with the own goal it was fortunate.

Italy goals keeper Donnarumma made several saves last night and before own goals he had brilliant save but its not lucky after conceded trough own goal.
Defeated by Spain its not over for Italy after first victory match against Albania and need get draw or secure three points against Croatia on last match to secure knock out round place.
Spalleti as Italy head coach will improve his team performance on last match as defend winner Euro 2020 won't fail in phase group.

Let's just conclude that the defending champions defended very well but were disappointed by their mistakes.

France now playing against Netherlands and the game has been goalless in the first half. France definitely miss the presence of Mbappe, because just as Frimpomg is causing the French defenders problem, Mbappe would have been doing the same the other way.

Spain started the match positively and circulated the ball well, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal were phenomenal in this game, Yamal and Williams represent a new era for Spain.
But the irony is Spain didn't score even though they were dominant. The only goal was an OG.
And the Azzurri could have lost even more if it weren't for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma who made eight saves throughout the match.

Donnarumma played well, he made many saves. If he played badly, Spain must score many goals. Italian defenders performed not so badly, they can make Spain attackers to have no ideal opportunities for scoring goals. Sadly, Italian attackers played very badly, they only could make 4 shot attempts during the match. I don't understand why Italian attackers are so weak nowadays. They look like having no strong attackers anymore. Italy can't win the match if they only have strong defense. They must strengthen their attackers as well. In the next match, they must win it if they still want to have a chance be the leader of Group B.

Definitely did not expected France to get a tie, that seems like it wasn't in the books for them. But to be fair they faced Netherlands, a team that is also quite good and wasn't really a shock to see them get a tie. I think France needs to focus a bit more on the offensive part, they are passing very well and they are playmaking in a way that they are finding chances normally, but they are not scoring the chances that they get. In the end, I believe both of these teams will go up, they are going to face weaker teams next up and they should be able to get the wins that they are looking for to go further.

France without mbappé looks like a very regular team comma mbappe gives them the cutting edge in attack. France were even lucky that the goal that Netherlands scored was ruled off for offside else Netherlands would have gotten all three points from this game because they started the game very well and were able to make maintain their performance all through the game. With the two teams sharing points from this game, they will take their next game more seriously.

And just like that, Poland is pretty much out of the competition. It is a shame because they had their good moments in their 1st game against the Netherlands and in the 1st half with Austria.
They obviously have no chance for any of the top 2 group places, but in theory, they can still advance to the next round of 16 as one of the 4 best 3rd places. All they need now is a high win against France. Some have calculated that it would have to be at least 3-0.

I have no doubts that France and the Netherlands will not qualify and come top of their group table, but what I am not sure about is whether both teams can win other of their matches to advance to the semifinal stage of the Euro tournament.

Even though Portugal is certainly the favorite, we also have to see that Türkiye's development is quite rapid at the moment. Turkish football really always reaches a higher level season after season. but the depth of Portugal's squad is still the best. Because apart from C. Ronaldo, we also see that almost all of Portugal's main players are very talented players who also shine at each of their clubs. So I may have made my choice and will favor Portugal.

Romania won their first game against Ukraine quite comfortably, 3:0, while Belgium lost to Slovakia 0:1.

Now, Ukraine has defeated Slovakia, so it's hard to say that the Romanians had an easier opponent than Belgium.
So why on earth is Belgium a favourite here? I'd expect the odds to be the other way around.

Am I the only one seeing this as a great betting opportunity and possibly an oddsmakers' mistake?

Excited match between Portugal vs Türkiye because both team want getting one ticket for qualifying to knock out round, Portugal performance on the first match not really quit well and waiting almost last minutes for winning against Czech Republic on the first match. Turkiye seems get bigger opportunity for second matches to secure 16 round position after success winning the first match against Georgia.

Most of fans waiting their favorite players Cristiano Ronaldo will score the goals, has bad rumor about any Portugal players won't give assists for Cristiano Ronaldo on the first match although he had good position for scoring goals.

Yes, all C.Ronaldo fans definitely hope to see Ronaldo score a goal. And hopefully today all of that can happen in the field. Hopefully all the players there can also support this legendary player from their country. Because maybe this is the last euro for Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo. So I also hope he can have good results at the Euros this time.

Belgium is currently in the top 3 in FIFA and one loss do not usually sway the odds for a team that's higher in the world rankings. Besides, A beating B and C beating A doesn't increase the chances of C beating B.

It's worth a shot but this could be a draw.

The duel of conservative strategies and a disallowed goal.
There was no goalless match at Euro 2024 until the Netherlands vs France match ended, 0-0 being the final result for the first time in Euro 2024 football in 22 consecutive matches, and a bad VAR call.
Both teams squandered goal-scoring opportunities, but both teams displayed excellent defense overall.
But what's up with Rabiot? twice, too scared to score  :-X
If France doesn't secure the top spot in the group, they might regret tonight's match, as it could end in a difficult knockout round.

Pepe and Ronaldo are old players who can still be called up by their own national team while Pepe can still play in the Europa League at Porto, so it will be very difficult for other players to reach the peak of old age but still be able to play in international competitions.
I'm not sure Ronaldo will announce his retirement after this EURO 2024, but if I'm not mistaken in his podcast Ronaldo said if he is still strong he still wants to be able to play for the 2026 World Cup.

Definitely did not expected France to get a tie, that seems like it wasn't in the books for them. But to be fair they faced Netherlands, a team that is also quite good and wasn't really a shock to see them get a tie. I think France needs to focus a bit more on the offensive part, they are passing very well and they are playmaking in a way that they are finding chances normally, but they are not scoring the chances that they get. In the end, I believe both of these teams will go up, they are going to face weaker teams next up and they should be able to get the wins that they are looking for to go further.

The duel of conservative strategies and a disallowed goal.
There was no goalless match at Euro 2024 until the Netherlands vs France match ended, 0-0 being the final result for the first time in Euro 2024 football in 22 consecutive matches, and a bad VAR call.
Both teams squandered goal-scoring opportunities, but both teams displayed excellent defense overall.
But what's up with Rabiot? twice, too scared to score  :-X
If France doesn't secure the top spot in the group, they might regret tonight's match, as it could end in a difficult knockout round.
The two teams played very well yesterday because they were both careful so that they will not make any mistakes in which their opponent will take as an advantage to win them. I was not expecting a goalless draw but it was quite unfortunate for Netherland that their goal which was able to enter the post was ruled out by VAR. France have failed to achieve victory and let it not be a big problem for them in qualifying to the round of 16.

Did you see Ronaldo's assist for Bruno to score their third goal? It became the entire moment of the game between Portugal and Turkey that we expected much from.

Belgium is now playing Romania, and Belgium scored Romania in the first five minutes of the game because they were under pressure after losing their first game in this competition. I do not think Romania will be able to turn this game around because Belgium are dominating this game, pressing for a second goal.

Yes I saw Ronaldo assist Bruno, but if Ronaldo wasn't so selfish he would have kicked it himself because he was alone in front of the goalkeeper.

If Belgium win tonight then all the teams in Group E will have the same points meaning the final game of the group stage will be decided, so far Belgium have dominated the game but the goal is still 1 while there is still a long time for Belgium to score their second goal, don't let this be a surprise where Romania can equalize.

Good win for Portugal. They are most likely to finish on top of the group (or second) after that performance.

Belgium were lucky that they were able to score the second goal that took off the pressure that Romania was putting on them because if they had not tried to score a second goal I'm very sure that this game would have ended in a draw and Belgium would have been the sadder of the two teams. The position in the group Belgium is is still very tough but I believe that to Belgium team will find a way to skill through because they are quality is needed in the next qualityy

Romania and Belgium have a better goal difference over Slovakia and Ukraine in the bottom two positions, but all teams may collect four points after the group phase ends.
And this is the first time this has happened in the history of the European Cup.
Four teams in one group collect the same points in the group phase. Amazing...
The next games will be interesting, all the teams will fight to the end.
Let's see who will enter the next round.

The matches that will take place include Switzerland vs Germany and Scotland vs Hungary.

Germany are fielding their main squad despite qualifying their lineup has not changed it remains their main squad.

Switzerland needs 1 point as we know, but I am not sure Switzerland will be able to face Germany unless a surprise happens.

Scotland need a win because they are counting on Switzerland losing to Germany... If Switzerland lose and Scotland win then it's likely Scotland will qualify as long as they have a lot of goals.

I couldn't watch the Spain Italy match, so I only watched a video summary, a terrible match
let's say I saved 2 hours of my life watching the stats, the stats are all in favor of Spain

of course I noticed that Spain didn't score any goals, this should be a warning bell for them
I did see the game, but in general terms yes, Spain had total control of the game in an impressive way, I didn't know that Italy was playing so, so defensively, I think a team like this has to aim for a lightning counterattack, have a striker who is very strong and above all fast so that he can be successful in his attacks, but for a team to play like Italy it has to have that determination, there is no other way, I think that Italy has to change its entire style of play, because the truth is that if they continue like this it will be very difficult for them to qualify, it is not all about defense, they have to score goals to win a game.

Scotland will have to win by a lot of goals maybe more than 3 but that is something difficult while it is still possible for Switzerland to score 1 goal in the match with Germany.

It will be interesting to know which team will qualify out of Group E since the four teams have experienced a win and a defeat. Although It's Group E's next match result will be used to judge the two teams that will finally qualify out of Group E.

Group E, next match result is as follows:
Ukraine vs Belgium
Slovakia vs Romania
It's going to be a tough and tense match

How can you say that Belgium is quite lucky? I'm not sure about that. because from the start, Belgium was already 1 goal ahead and they also put quite a lot of pressure on Romania. Belgium has Lukaku, De Bruyne and Doku, who are big players at the club. Not to mention the back line which is also quite famous. And even from statistics, Belgium is superior to Romania.

In fact, Belgium is one of the strongest and most famous teams in the Euros, so it's no surprise they beat Romania. It's just that, who knows what happened, in their first match, how come they lost to Slovakia. Meanwhile, yesterday, the position in group E had the same number of points, namely 3 points. That's why the competition is quite tight. However, for Belgium's victory this time, they could at least save 1 position.


Minute of 85
Switzerland vs Germany.
        1                   0


What a surprising match.
I thought Germany would win, but in fact they were behind 0 - 1. In fact, it was already the 84th minute and Germany had not been able to score a single goal. Switzerland currently seems to be defending enough so that Germany cannot penetrate their defense, because they are at least 1 goal ahead. It's quite risky if they attack again. Ah, it would be a shame if Germany had to lose, even though they still qualify.

If you think carefully, people praise Ronaldo for that assist because it reflected a teamwork. Ronaldo can score himself at that time, but he prefers to give the ball to Bruno Fernandes due to Bruno has a better position for shooting. If Ronaldo doesn't care with a teamwork, he must try to shoot at that time. Ronaldo did a wise decision, it also indicated he is more focused on the team (not too obsessed in individual record anymore).

Belgium were lucky that they were able to score the second goal that took off the pressure that Romania was putting on them because if they had not tried to score a second goal I'm very sure that this game would have ended in a draw and Belgium would have been the sadder of the two teams.
It is strange that you are so sure the match will end up with a draw if Belgium failed to score the second goal. How do you know this?  :-\  I'm not sure if Romania could score a single goal, they even only made 4 shots on target. Belgium was dominating the match, they could lead since the early of the match. If they could play more effectively, they actually have the chance to score more than 2 goals. There were 9 shots on target made by Belgium.

I thought Germany would win, like anyone else would think and because of that I bet on them, but as we can see that wasn't the case, this is my second big loss this tournament the first was just recently (yesterday) George managing to get a tie, which I did not see happening at all, quite tough situation.

It's a good rule to never bet on a team that doesn't need to win. There often times might be some sympathies between nations/clubs or hidden deals where a favourite lets an underdog earn much-needed points.


In other game, Hungary defeated Scotland. So Scotland is definitely out. I think Hungary might be out too, as I don't think they have any chances to advance from the 3rd place.

Sorry that you lost your bet. It's not always wise to bet a win on a team that has already qualified for the next stage of the competition because they've nothing to lose. Matches are being played every four days or there about and the manager might decide to rest some important players so that they don't suffer from fatigue. For me, in such games, the safest option is the goal market.

Nagelsmann's decision to replace Musiala with Niclas Fullkrug in the 76th minute is a right decision
Supersub, Niclas Füllkrug is a great finisher, 4 goals as a substitute at major tournaments, and I think he needs to be in the starting lineup
His goal cancels out Dan Ndoye's goal to keep Germany at the top of Group A but one point was enough to take Switzerland to the round of 16, qualifying to accompany Germany.

Italy as the current title holders haven't done exceptionally well to be honest, and might have underperformed so far in this tournament, but I think Croatia, alongside Scotland and Poland should be the team that have flopped the most in the Euro 2024 so far, Poland already got eliminated after just 2 group stage matches, while Croatia's defeat at the hand of Spain could be understandable, but failure to beat Albania is an extreme low them.

Italy are going to be without Dimarco tonight, we'll see if Croatia can make anything of the weak Italian side, or they'll just continue their underperforming trend tonight as well.

I think Ukraine have a similar approach to how Romania have played in this competition, they get the least possession of the ball and are often pressed and confined within their own half for most of the game's duration, but one they're able to get on the break, they can be very clinical. All it takes them is just to catch their opponent on break with a counterattack, create and they make the most out of those chances.

The first half is over and it was goalless. It lay has a strong defense and it was very hard for Croatia to penetrate the defense. Both teams missed just few opportunities which assuming it was utilized would have being a goal. If Croatia does not find a means of winning this match it means that they are out of the competition.

There has been a complete change in fortune in this match, Croatia took the lead already and it was not just as easy mere taking the lead as there was a huge amount of drama surrounding the goal, with Luka Modric missing a penalty, and only for fortune to smile upon him once again, as he able to get another chance from an even better distance just a moment after the spot kick miss.

That's football for you, it's never over until the final whistle. The last minute goal from Zaccagni was very devastating, the Croatians thought they've already sealed a ticket to the next round of the competition, only for Italy to score in the last minute to restore parity. This is the first time in recent years they're being knocked out in the group stage in major tournament. It's really painful, but to be honest, Croatia didn't perform very well and they need to go back to the drawing board.

For the match to end in a draw match, Italy has automatically qualified for the round of 16. I am happy for them to score the late minutes that had them qualify from Group B, following Spain

Unfortunately, Croatia didn't make it to the next round after the prediction that they may qualify next to Spain because of the quality players in their squad like Modric, Kovacic, and Pasalic

What happens if two, or more, teams have an equal number of points and identical goal difference? Is there going to be a draw, or are other metrics to be considered, i.e. more goals scored etc?

Btw, it's a pretty neat system, when every team has at least theoretical chances of qualifying up until the final round.

An Italian defender had to assemble the team in the attacking enthusiasm to make an exceptional assist and achieve that beautiful goal, a shame to have to say goodbye to the EURO Croatia in this way, although mathematically they have a chance, the The reality is that it will not be enough to qualify.

Italy stole the show on the brink and with final play of the game, It was literally the reverse of how I expected the game to turnout it did, I was more expecting Italy to take the lead and Croatia chasing them down try to seek redemption, but it was Italy who fell behind and had to dig really deep in order to restore parity and book their place in the knockout stages.

Now they've setup a knockout stage match against Switzerland, that's yet another interesting game to forward to!

Spain got what they wanted, and finished off as the leader of the group, did not expected much else from this game to be fair. Group stages has provided a lot more fun than world cup group stages to be fair. I get why people say that European group stages are much harder, feels like there are a lot more harder teams here, and things are a lot better looking. I do hope that it will get better, we just watched some amazing matches.

And this is a very disappointing day for Modric. Just imagine, Modric scored 1 goal in the 55th minute for Croatia, and that lasted until the match was almost over. Of course, the hope is that they can actually make it through.

However, it turned out that it all failed, after Mattia Zaccagni scored a goal for Italy in extra time, in the 90+6 minute. This was a great surprise for all of them.

Look at Modric's expression of disappointment, it's broken heart.
At least, this might be his last EURO, and he and Croatia will have to be eliminated and not qualify for round 16.

Anyway, congratulations to Italy for this time.

I honestly didn't see the match, this Italy team bores me a lot at the moment
they told me they snatched the victory in the many minutes of recovery

it makes me laugh, if they win like this against Croatia, against Spain, France and Germany they really have no hope

The Italy vs Croatia match was really quite dramatic. And honestly I hope Croatia wins this match. Although at first I favored Italy. In that match, Modric failed to take advantage of a penalty kick but he made up for his mistake by scoring 1 goal. But unfortunately Italy equalized the score in the minute of added time. And Italy managed to collect 1 point in that match and Croatia automatically failed to get full points. This does feel very interesting. But I still prefer the world cup qualifying rounds.  ;D

A super hard-fought match, I was glued to the TV with friends to watch it.It was incredible but no one spoke in the last minutes, everyone was silent to see what could happen. What suffering.Ok we are qualified but we need a miracle to get the plays out of the hat.

Italy can thank the referee of the match for inventing even 8 minutes of stoppage time and for judging very biasedly from the beginning. To make things even more incredible, he was chosen as the match referee by the Italians in UEFA, who are responsible for such decisions - and the said Dutchman is a great friend of Pierluigi Collina. The penalty kick was visible from the plane, but he still wouldn't have judged it without VAR.

However, even though the referee did his dirty work, one should be honest and say that Croatia played very badly in all three games and that it paid the price for what its coach failed to do. A bunch of talented young players didn't get a minute, while he favored people who are out of shape or simply too old to play modern football.

Croatia still has a chance, but it depends even on the results of 4 games, and miracles don't happen every day.

It is eliminated in football theory, it is a reality, perhaps, but mathematically it is possible, very low, but it is not zero, Croatia  have a mathematical chance of qualifying as best third, it's not going to happen...

I feel Croatian with this comment, but I am a real fan of this team.

By teh way; the World Cup is the biggest thing there is, and the emotions for a European Fans can be read as you mention, I understand you, but I don't share it.

Todays shock came from Austria, nobody expected them to win against Netherlands at all, and this made Netherlands be third, all probabilities show that they will probably go up anyway from the best thirds, but still a shock. France being second was even bigger shock to me because I honestly expected them to win all three games and get 9 points, the fact that they didn't is a shocker to me. Austria now have an easier opponent, probably Turkey which is us, but still it is quite tough. I know they beat us just recently, but that was a friendly, and I believe we are going to do much better next time.

Austria is definitely a very nice surprise of this championship, and they obviously managed to arrange their team in an ideal combination of experienced and young players, and they have an excellent coach who came up with excellent tactics. They respect the opponent, but they are not afraid of him, regardless of who it is. I hope that they will continue to play at that level in the rest of the championship.

It's really something that even I don't remember ever happening, but the group is really very even, regardless of the fact that some considered England to be the absolute favorite. Although in the end they won the group, they did not show too much and it is obvious that they play football in which it is more important to defend than to score a goal.

Yes, and actually, the Croatian team felt quite sad when they had to fail in the last seconds due to the referee giving a longer extra minute of time in the match. but this is football and things like this happen quite often. It's just that Modric was the most disappointed and saddened by Croatia's defeat because this was his last match at the Euros with Croatia. Because Modric is no longer young and will probably retire soon.

If the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match right in the extra minutes given, then it would be Croatia who would now be in the knockout round, but they have to be satisfied with the referee's decision, so they have to end their journey at EURO this time.

They could only collect 2 points from the 3 matches they played, and that was not enough to take them through to the next round. They also couldn't catch the slot for the best 3rd place because their number of points was less than the 3rd place in the other group.

LOL. Honestly I am also not watching this competition. In fact I do not even know when the features happen and the time they play the matches. It is only when I go on LiveScore that I will discover that matches have been played, I would then take a little see of the review. What I have learned is that there is no excellent performance by any country in this very competition. It was even difficult for a country like France to qualify from the group matches. This however shows how competitive Euro has become. However, from the quarter finals I will begin to watch the matches and I believe it will become more interesting then.

For Group E we already know the result that no one won the draw from both matches.

Slovenia vs Romania 1-1
Ukrania vs Belgium goalless.

The previous four teams can change their fate to qualify as long as they win but if it ends in a draw then Ukraine does not qualify while we know Slovenia's third position is still hopeful with the best 3 from other groups.

Again a pretty boring match as there weren't many goals.

You meant Slovakia, Slovenia was in the same group with England and Denmark, while It was Slovakia that played against Romania today. That being said, Belgium are really an awful team, they've got a lot on their plate right as failing to finish as the winners of their group means they'll play against France, while France haven't been in the best run of form either, I still believe they'll definitely and easily beat this Belgium team if they don't improve their performance.

Group E is indeed a group with the most tight competition. In fact, in the last match yesterday, they both drew the match. But in the end, Belgium and Romania will qualify for Round 16. However, for Belgium, this will be a little tough, they will play against France. Yes, even though Beligum is actually a tough team. This will be a great match later.


OMG, what happen to Ronaldo and Friends?
Portugal is still losing from Georgia.
Ya, Georgia is leading 2 - 0 from Portugal until now in the minute of 68.
It looks like it won't be easy for Portugal to catch up with this score.

Don't worry about Portugal because results like that are expected. From a gambler's perspective, I avoid betting on those games because I find it always tricky. Yes, they are the more dominant team but, since they already qualified and won the group, they also do not have enough incentive to win their last game.

Two games for the history books, one for the referee while the other one is for Georgia.

Another game that a winner is decided in added time. I honestly thought the Czech team would hold out until the end and settle for a draw but another red made their situation more difficult.

Yes, indeed, the results of a football match often do not match predictions. Because, who would have thought that Portugal would really lose to Georgia with a score of 2 - 0 without reply. Meanwhile, if you look at the statistics, Portugal's attacks are many times higher than Georgia's. That's even 15 : 95 attacks. Doesn't Portugal actually control and provide very significant stress for Georgia, right? But in the end, it was Georgia who was able to see the opportunity and carry out a counter attack which immediately ended in a goal. Plus they got a penalty kick, this gave them a big advantage.

Georgia is now having a debut for the next round 16. What a great thing tonight happens to them.

Well done to Georgia for making a huge surprise and advancing to the knock-out stage for the first time in history.
We all like it when the underdog defeats a much higher-rated team.
Portugal dominated in possession and shots on goals, but were unsuccesful in the only metric that really counts.

I don't think the penalty was deserved. There was a contact but it clearly didn't cause the fall. Now, that we have VAR system, diving should be penalised with yellow cards and any players that do that should be shamed.
Normalising players throwing themselves to the ground and crying out in pain just to extort a penalty or a free kick was a mistake. It makes football look gay and laughable.

I am quite happy with this result, for a while I got worried after they got the tie, but we managed to win. Honestly, this isn't the best Turkish squad we had ever, we have some issues, we have a problem at striker position that is famous by now, but thankfully Cenk Tosun showed his class and got us the win today. I think Austria is a very tough opponent and it will not be easy to beat them, and there is a likely possibility that we will lose, we conceded six goals just a few months ago from them. However, I would still prefer them over some of the harder and better teams out there, so I think its a good result for us.

Facing Austria in the round of 16 will not be easy for Türkiye. but maybe I also prefer to favor Türkiye. I like their young players like Guler. And we hope that this young player will have valuable experience by progressing further with his national team in this Euro. And actually it was quite lucky for Türkiye to only meet Austria in the round of 16. Rather than having to meet other national teams that are much stronger such as Germany and Spain.

There will always be something like that in football, the loser will be disappointed with the referee's decision, and the winner will be very happy with the referee's decision. I think things like this will always happen.

For example, when using VAR, sometimes VAR can be profitable for one team and not for another team. The loser will feel disappointed and the winner will be happy. Things like this cannot be separated from football in my opinion.

For example, when using VAR, sometimes VAR can be profitable for one team and not for another team. The loser will feel disappointed and the winner will be happy. Things like this cannot be separated from football in my opinion.
The referee do add an additional minutes if there was a delay in the match more than the expected time. However such extra time is of benefit to both clubs, but most times it is the club that is attacking at that moment at do win the game. I don't think that the referee did anything wrong. Italy was able to equalize the goal because they never relented and didn't giveup. Italy next match will determine their qualification to round of 16.

answering you, I'm not liking this European championship too much either
but I'm not complaining, since we have nothing to watch, better than nothing indeed!
On the other hand, regarding Italy I'm quite optimistic, we can at least get through this phase

we can do it!

True, the loser will not happy with referee decision and the winner will celebrate their achievement, I think in the modern era of football support by VAR and goal line technology less controversial of referee and not any space yet complaining how bad decision every referee.
VAR make helpful how football match keep fair without any controversial any more but some loser never happy accept with referee decision after their teams got loss.

Likely all Euro 2024 group matches not any controversial decision from referee, but interested with high intention match between Czech Republic vs turkey how many yellow card and two two red card from referee for both teams.

It's very ridiculous that the defending champions are now the underdogs against a team like Switzerland, but that is an obvious fact in this competition because even the small teams have surprised us all. Like Portugal, they were lucky yesterday because, had they not already qualified, their chances of qualification would have been in jeopardy. If the Italians scale through Switzerland, they will still not be able to go far in the competition against the other teams in the competition that have a perfect balance of defensive and attacking football.

I'm really looking forward to how the Belgium group would turn after the end of 90 minutes, all teams Belgium, Ukraine Slovakia and Romania are all tied with 3 points and while 3 points would have been enough for teams from another group to advance to the next stage, 3 points would definitely not be enough for at least one of the teams from this group.
Group E is indeed a group with the most tight competition. In fact, in the last match yesterday, they both drew the match. But in the end, Belgium and Romania will qualify for Round 16. However, for Belgium, this will be a little tough, they will play against France. Yes, even though Beligum is actually a tough team. This will be a great match later.


OMG, what happen to Ronaldo and Friends?
Portugal is still losing from Georgia.
Ya, Georgia is leading 2 - 0 from Portugal until now in the minute of 68.
It looks like it won't be easy for Portugal to catch up with this score.

Yeah, it was One hell group stage result in the end because there were a lot upsets and I could understand Portugal losing from an angle of they've already finished as group leaders, and there an heavy rotation to the team, although they fielded eleven players should still have been enough quality to get a win against a team like Georgia. However, what I understand is Belgium being unimpressive yet again, they couldn't beat Ukraine and as such have found themselves playing France in the very next round, I really don't think that's the best way they'd want to start their knockout stages adventure.

They are not though. Italy is a favourite with the odds of around x2.48, while Switzerland is at x3.35 (Draw: x2.88).

Well done to Georgia for making a huge surprise and advancing to the knock-out stage for the first time in history.
We all like it when the underdog defeats a much higher-rated team.
Portugal dominated in possession and shots on goals, but were unsuccesful in the only metric that really counts.



Georgia is an impressive team in Euro 2024, the team has made the impossible possible, a dream come true.
Scotland has played eight World Cups and four EURO Cups but have never been able to overcome the first phase, they have never progressed through the group stage. And now they watch Georgia do it in its first attempt :(
Georgia earned a famous win to qualify and they joined Romania, Slovakia, and Belgium in the round of 16, but I think Georgia will lose in round 16 against Spain.

Italy and Switzerland are certainly the more favored Italy even though we see how Italy's game has decreased a little, but I see Italy's odds are quite fair because this team still remains above Switzerland even though we will not know the results.

Now will Switzerland advance to the quarterfinals or will they fall in the last 16? For me Italy is still more likely to qualify than Switzerland.

Thankfully we do not have that much break, first games will be held at Saturday, so we are going to end up seeing some games very quickly. All the way until Tuesday, which will be the last day of the round of 16, which will be very hard way to bet but I still like it because if these games didn't existed, we wouldn't have that many games, sure there are parts of the world that does still have the league, but I just don't know much about them so I do not bet on them. Not sure if we are going to see any surprises this round, usually much less chance, but we have seen some shocking results so lets see what happens.

Yes, this time, they really made football history at Euro 2024, where they were finally able to enter the round of 16 for the first time. More recently, they managed to enter round 16 after beating a big team 2 - 0 without reply, namely Portugal. This is a very special reward for the entire team for all their hard work. Whatever happens in the future, they will definitely understand that and they will definitely try to do their best.

Yes, because unfortunately, in round 16, Georgia will directly meet Spain. We really understand the strength of the entire Spanish squad, even down to the reserve players, they are big players who are famous for their extraordinary talents. So their chances of getting through to the next round are quite small. However, this remains history for them.

Italy and Switzerland are certainly the more favored Italy even though we see how Italy's game has decreased a little, but I see Italy's odds are quite fair because this team still remains above Switzerland even though we will not know the results.
Switzerland vs Italy
Germany vs Denmark
France vs Belgium

In my opinion, these three matches will also be very interesting. They are not a small club. These six teams are big clubs that have some of the world's top players, and their strengths are quite even. So this will definitely be a very tight competition for these six teams.

So, in your opinion all, which team will qualify?
This is my version:
- Italy
- Germany
- France

Among all the fixtures this is the toughest for me because France and Belgium are two top teams with top players that can do damage. France has Mbappe, and Belgium has Doku whose is also very fast. It's going to be really tough game between those two teams because both teams are determined to qualify for the next round of the competition. Lukaku has still not scored a goal, maybe that game will be his first.

I dont see any value with that odds and I can't see Italy winning this match if they continue playing like in first three matches, except maybe on penalties.
They have many holes in their game and they probably have one of the worst attacks in history of Italian national team.
I hope to see goals in this match and not another boring fest.

France has Mbappe who is one of the best strikers currently. And Belgium has Kevin De Bruyne who is one of the best midfielders currently. And yes, France vs Belgium will be quite an exciting match to watch. It's just that there will definitely be more people who will favor France in this match. I personally might also bet on France because I still see France as having some advantages that Belgium doesn't have.

However, what we are talking about here is how luck can be obtained by a team or country that is competing and in my opinion this cannot be separated from the luck that Italy got.

I think that the Dutch referee in the Croatia-Italy match did a lot of wrong things to the detriment of Croatia, only when you look at the criteria he had when awarding yellow cards, to the point that he avoided awarding a penalty kick with his decision even though he saw everything clearly. What can you say about those famous 8 minutes of extra time? With that, he directly influenced the result, and no one can find justifications for such a long time.

In conspiracy theories, things are like this:

Dutch referee Danny Makkelie is Pierluigi Collina's (Italian, of course) most trusted man, and Collina and his men delegate referees to EURO matches - besides, Danny Makkelie is married to an Italian ::) UEFA should never have allowed such a man to referee that game, but it just shows that they are as corrupt as FIFA - their motto is "money before football".

Yep, This will be the tightest match in the round of 16.
France will find their form as they usually do at major tournaments but I can't say the same for Belgium.
Belgium have many good players, but in big tournaments, they never seem to be able to play well, bundles of talent but lack cohesion.
So, I bet France will qualify for the next round

Belgium performance actually in phase round not really quit well just collecting 4 points and get advantage after goals difference from Ukraine have been eliminated from the phase group although all teams have the same points.
Both teams will face each other on 16 of round between Belgium and France their performance in phase group not quit well, France only win one match and get two draw with Belgium just winning one match, one being draw and one match loss.

just want to get excited match on 16 of round for both teams between Belgium or France have top performance by scoring many goals because both teams lack productivities goals on the group phase.

if the French team win against Belgium it will depend on the midfield because that is where the main battle of the game  will be fought. France have enough experience player in midfield to make sure that they take dominance of the mid field and disrupt whatever plans that the Belgium team have, Kanye can do that Job, but he will massively require the total effort of every other player in the team . If France can successfully keep Jeremy Doku quiet and contain KDB in the midfield they would have done more than half of the job in the game already.

Belgium has Lukaku (although not recognized yet), de Bruyne, Doku, Trossard, Casteels, and others who are quite famous in various European clubs.

And the France also has some big players, especially Mbappe. And they alos have Dembele, Tchouameni, Kounde, Griezmann, Camavinga, Giroud and others who are also quite top in European clubs, especially. So, this will definitely be a tough match.

Seems like there are some games which look like very easy money to me. Spain should definitely easily beat Georgia without trouble, it seems very easy, and Germany should be able to beat Denmark as well, can't miss that, would be a shame. Portugal could beat Slovenia as well, which doesn't look tough, the Netherlands should easily defeat Romania and meanwhile, England could defeat Slovakia if Southgate doesn't drop the ball, and Italy should beat the Swiss if you ask me. These are all looking like easy games if you ask me. Two games I am not sure about, one is France vs Belgium, France will probably win, but you never know. The other is Turkey vs Austria, because I feel like I am biased as a Turkish person, I feel like we can beat anyone and that may not be true, so I won't bet on that.

France basically has the best squad, no doubt that they are very likely to beat Belgium. France has quality players in every line, especially in attacking line. Meanwhile Belgium, they look not really in a good form in the defense and attacking. Belgium only has great players in their midfield line. In theory, France with great attackers won't have difficulty to beat Belgium. However, it is true that France must prepare everything well, they may experience a lose if they are not ready for the match.

By the way, I bet on France, they seem to play until the final round.  :)

So, that is also a consideration, because if you look at modern football, now giving extra minutes is different from before, where we get extra minutes which are quite long.

Even in some matches it reaches more than 10 minutes, it is not like previous football which gave extra minutes of only 2, 3 minutes or at most 5 minutes and that is different from now, because all wasted time is also counted.

I agree, as far as my memory serves for the last few years, Switzerland has been oscillating a lot in their game - so at this championship they beat Hungary 3-1, then only played 1-1 against Scotland, and then almost beat Germany.

Italy literally made it out of the group with a goal in the last seconds against Croatia, because even if they had been third, they would not have progressed.

However, after obviously biased refereeing in that match, UEFA sent referee Danny Makkelie home, which means that they are very "satisfied" with the way he did his job.

Switzerland have been quite impressive in this competition, they are one of the drak horses, along side Austria too in my opinion, but I really would not read too much into their group stage performance, because the knockout stages is different level of ball game and there are very fine margins into why a team could advance or get eliminated. I'm still quite leaning towards the defending champions "Italy" to see off the Swiss side today, perhaps in a narrow and not so convincing fashion, but Italy going through is my big play here.

The both matches is going to be very interesting to watch especially the one between Switzerland and Italy because right from there group stage Switzerland has been very consistent and just like you said they have not lost any matches from there group stage unlike Italy that won a match, draw one and lose one.

So perhaps I think Switzerland has an upper chance to win the match because they are more impressive in performance than Italy, though I'm not saying that Italy is a weak team but my point is that so long as the season is concerned Switzerland has created more impressive impact than Italy.

However in terms of Germany and Denmark I'm also very confident that Germany will win them because Denmark has not been really too good in performance this season because if you follow up there matches you will see that they have not won any match and even the ones they had the opportunity of winning they could not even win so I believe that match should an easy one for Germany.

My predictions for tonight:

Switzerland Vs. Italy - Italy is a slight favourite, but I think a draw is the most likely outcome. Probably a goalless one, or a 1-1.
Both teams have solid defence, with 0.571 goals lost on average in a game played (for 2024). Italy has better winning rate, but Switzerland haven't lost any game in 2024.
Penalties are very much expected. And, as penalties are a lottery, any of them can win it.

Germany Vs. Denmark - Germany is a strong favorite (for a game at this stage) with odds around x1.58 and I don't expect a surprise here. Both teams are undefeated in this calendar year, but Germans have better attacking power and are playing at home, which will be a big advantage.

Very poor performance from Italy in first half, and they didnt show anything special during all EURO competition.
Italy is special for scoring goals and getting results even when they play bad but I think they are getting home this time.

Germany has a big advantage with home stadium and crowd support and they are big favorites here.
Germany (-1) AH looks good to me.

Switzerland Vs. Italy - Italy is a slight favourite, but I think a draw is the most likely outcome. Probably a goalless one, or a 1-1.
Both teams have solid defence, with 0.571 goals lost on average in a game played (for 2024). Italy has better winning rate, but Switzerland haven't lost any game in 2024.
Penalties are very much expected. And, as penalties are a lottery, any of them can win it.
Very poor performance from Italy in first half, and they didnt show anything special during all EURO competition.

Yes the match is over Italy will soon go home there is nothing to ask anymore because seeing Italy's performance is very bad, I'm not sure Italy is like this but in reality seeing how Italy has performed badly throughout the Euro now.

I feel disappointed with Italy even though I have bet on it, the chances of winning are higher than Switzerland in reality Switzerland is better.

Unbelievable the defend winner of Euro 2020 Italy kick out by Switzerland on 16 round after losing over 2-0, seems still unacceptable how possibility the most favorite winner Euro 2024 have eliminated by Switzerland as not favorite team. Can't believing how poor performance on Italy against Switzerland regarding the statistic although have balance with ball possession controlling but Italy only has one shot on target than four shots on target did by Switzerland.
too early have to see the winner of Euro 2020 have eliminated since 16 of round and seems still can't believing Switzerland success sent off Italy in Euro 2024.

That was the very first upset of the knockout stage, and I'm sure that would serve as a reality check to other top favorites about the threats these underdogs can pose, although some teams have witnessed it first hand during the group stage. We probably would still one or two more upset over the next few days of this tournament.

Italy was so bad and so underwhelming. Switzerland absolutely dominated Italy.
Italy did not seem as prepared for Euro 2024 as other teams and getting knocked out by Switzerland was a tough pill to swallow for Italy.
All praise Switzerland and  Murat Yakın as a manager team for their outstanding performance and control.
Switzerland gave Italy a masterclass, as smooth and rich as Swiss chocolate :) Amazing football

The defending champions got their ass knocked out on a 2-0 clean sheet, which I never expected. Italy was unable to fight back because they gat no strategy and creativity. Switzerland dominated the game right from the first half to the end of the match while Italy was busy struggling to score one goal. Switzerland humiliated the Italians and penetrated their defense like nothing. The next match will be between Germany vs Denmark.

Switzerland and Austria have been very impressive in this tournament and I wouldn't say I'm surprised that they defeated Italy because Italy had been lacking in attack and have focused more on defensive in most of their game in this competition. Switzerland may face England If England are able to beat Slovakia. If that happens, England will be the team to be worried because Switzerland are a pain in the ass of big teams.

Germany about to play Denmark, will they be knocked out as the defending champions were?

The result was quite surprising, Italy was defeated by Switzerland 2 - 0
In fact, Italy really lost in their attack line. Bad enough for those who finally had to admit Switzerland's superiority.
And Germany, as what we expected.

There were many correct calls in the game from the officials that got two goals cancelled , one early goal from Germany,  and Denmark's goal that then led to the penalty that Germany got after the hand ball.

Havertz converted the penalty brilliantly, although he missed a couple of good opportunities to score more goals later in the game. Musiala doubled for Germany to secure their lead, and qualification to the next round.

This German team can actually win this competition.

The match was full of drama. The officiation from the field referee to the VAR referees. Changing a potential goal for Denmark to a PK to Germany. They were all dramatic but in the end I was happy that Germany succeeded and also Musiala was an instrumental for such success. The young boy has been giving his best in the Euro and I wish he could win the overall Best player in the Euro 2024. Such a young and raw talent.

And Germany got a penalty kick in the 52nd minute, after VAR review. So, Kai Havertz did it well, with full confidence and scored from the penalty. And it was complemented by Musiala's successful kick which became Germany's second goal.

It's surprising to see how the former reigning Champions of the Euro were knocked out by Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the Euro.

I never saw this coming that Italy would be humiliated by a 2-0 defeat that had them performing poorly like they were an immature team while they were once reigning Champions of the Euro.

This is so heartbreaking for the people of Italy to see their country displaying a poor performance after much anticipation of them reaching the finals.

The Italian team was not expected to be eliminated early from the Euro this time. And Switzerland looks like it could be the team that surprises everyone. Germany they won according to everyone's expectations but Denmark did put up no less good resistance in that match even though they lost in the end.

For today we will look at the matches England vs Slovakia and Spain vs Georgia. I'm not sure about the England vs Slovakia match because we know England is not as good as imagined. But for the Spain vs Georgia match, it is very clear that Spain is the favorite in that match.

However, I am glad that the Swiss won because they are definitely the better team, and even if the opponent was Croatia instead of Italy, I doubt that the outcome would have been different.

As for today's matches, anything but a convincing victory for the favorites would be a big surprise. Being the first in the group definitely has its advantages.

I was actually looking for that post of yours to call you out, because you saw it coming all along, I don't know if you do gamble ? maybe  you could have had some money on the line for that match. Italy were completely outplayed and outclassed by Switzerland. Switzerland played with an extremely high level of confidence, their movement on and off the ball last night was definitely one of the best I've seen in this tournament, they turned the underdog tag the other round.

They deserved this win, they played better than Italy and they managed to win with a score of 2-0. They created a lot of opportunities and 2 of them were successful in converting them into goals.

This result means that Italy has to pick up its suitcase more quickly in the round of 16. Indeed, Italy was less consistent at EURO this time so they had to be satisfied with only being able to break into the top 16, after that they had to fall.

The Italian national team is a team that has not been able to break the myth of the defending champion having to be eliminated in the round of 16 after being defeated by Switzerland with a score of 2-0.
In the previous two editions, the Portugeal National Team managed to become champions in the Euro 2016 edition but had to be eliminated in the round of 16, as did the Spanish National Team.

Germany seems the strong candidate fpr the Euro 2024 einner after impressiblve performance when defeating Denmark over 2-0, played well last night amd waiting the opponent teams on quarter final.

Had Denmark gone 1-0 up first, the course of the match might have changed completely but Offside is offside. It doesn't matter even if it's only 1 cm, under the rules it's offside and I think the penalty was also the right decision.
With technology, there is no margin of error and Michael Oliver just applied the rules given to him.
And I agree with you, Musiala is one of the best players in the match and they couldn't stop Musiala :)
Musiala officially eliminated Denmark
Congrats to Germany...

The match between England and Slovakia is currently ongoing and so far it has been really interesting but I'm very surprised to see that the England team is not consistent as they are on the previous seasons actually I don't really no why they seem to have been performing poor on this season even with the kind of quality players they have.

Currently they are losing 1:0 against Slovakia, actually I never expected Slovakia to be the first to score because I was thinking that England will not give them the opportunity, funny enough in terms of there overall performance England is currently leading even in ball possessions but they failed to be creative, well if there is a moment they need to improve this is actually the right moment.

It was solved by Bellingham, Harry Kane scored the second goal in extra time, so in conclusion England won very dramatically and for Slovakia they were still unlucky because they had to concede with 1 minute to go.
Still, seeing England play was boring because there was no impressive attack but the English squad was still very lucky.

England is through and will face Switzerland in the quarter-final, but this was not a great performance by Southgate's team.
They lacked focus and their defence was far from perfect. They allowed Slovakia for too much.
I don't think they would manage to come back if Strelec used that gift from English defenders and hit the target (he wasn't far off).
I think Switzerland could be a favourite.

Meanwhile, Georgia is leading 1-0 against Spain after 36 minutes. I don't think they'll be able to drive it till the end but hope I'm wrong.

England have never won easily during this EURO tournament, they always find it difficult to face any opponent, even though we know their squad is very capable with several star players gathered in the squad, but for some reason they still have difficulty scoring goals or playing to win comfortably.

Facing Switzerland will be much more difficult, we hope that England can qualify again for the next round, but there is still a little doubt, although here I support England over Switzerland.

Of course, this victory was not an easy victory. We know very well that neither Germany nor Denmark are small teams. If we look at the statistics, it is also quite strict. It's just that Germany has more chances and attack percentage than Denmark.

The first goal scored was a penalty goal, of course this was not easy because there was also a psychological battle involved. However, Havertz was really able to control it and was the successful executor who made it a goal in the deciding match.

This time, Germany qualified for the Quarter Final round. And later we will wait for the opponent between Spain vs Georgia.

Meanwhile, currently, the match between Spain vs Georgia is still ongoing. Spain is still ahead.
For now it is:
Spain vs Georgia
 2 - 1

The final result, Spain 4-1 Georgia.

Most goals were made by the midfielders of Spain team. I think this Span Euro team isn't so different with the golden era of Spain national team, they are very strong in the midfield line. The positive side of the current Spain team, they look like stronger in the defense line as well. But it looks not strong enough in attacking line.

This time, Germany qualified for the Quarter Final round. And later we will wait for the opponent between Spain vs Georgia.
Spain will meet Germany. This will be a big match, it is difficult to predict which team to win and qualify for the next round. Since Germany team looks having more experienced players, I guess Germany will qualify for the next round. This will be crucial match for Kroos and Gundogan. They look to retire after this competition.

Still, getting through to the knock-out stage was a historical achievement for Georgia, so they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and will return home as heroes.
Spain has shown they're on a different level and I see them as a favourite to win. They will face Germany in the quarter-final, which is probably the toughest team to play against, but I think they have what it takes to go through.

Spain really showed that they have a different level of play. And yes Spain won as expected by the majority of people. Maybe the challenge for Spain is the quarter-final against Germany. And I think these two favorite teams are quite unlucky because they have to meet each other in the quarter-finals. even though I feel these two teams should meet at least in the semi-finals. But it's actually quite difficult to see which is better between Germany and Spain. But I personally might still favor Spain.

the staff of the Italian team is really poor, not up to par and it wasn't just me who said it but also Fabio Capello.

the obvious outcome was to go out in a scandalous way, would it have been more dignified not to participate?  We will never know

And I think Slovenia could have the same fate as Georgia. But for the France vs Belgium match, I'm a little doubtful about who I will favourite. but maybe France is indeed more worthy of being favored.

Well you're right. Spanish fans are currently very satisfied with the performance of the Spanish national team. In fact, Spain only conceded once, namely yesterday. And even that was an own goal. So it can be said that Spain's defensive fortress has not yet been completely penetrated by any team at this time. It was a shame that Italy had to be eliminated so quickly. I want to talk a lot about my disappointment with Spalletti. But yeah that has happened and hopefully in the next euro Italy can be even better.

Both Spain and Germany would be facing each other in the Quarter finals, maybe it's actually safer to presume that whichever team wins the match would go all the way to win the trophy, however, it's easier said than done.

If we're going to be realistic, Italy should have already lost to Croatia if it wasn't for the inexplicable 8 minutes of extra time, so it was not completely unrealistic that they lose against Switzerland. I'm not a regular player when it comes to sports betting, but I was close to winning because I chose the option that the match will end in a draw at halftime with Switzerland winning + the same option in the second match between Germany and Denmark.

I'm glad to see teams like Switzerland and Austria playing good football, and I sincerely hoped that Slovakia would be able to hold out until the end and beat England, which would be a big surprise of this championship.

I was somehow convinced that Switzerland would manage to win in the end, but I hoped that at halftime it would still be a draw, just like in the second game. However, I am glad that the Swiss won because they are definitely the better team, and even if the opponent was Croatia instead of Italy, I doubt that the outcome would have been different.

As for today's matches, anything but a convincing victory for the favorites would be a big surprise. Being the first in the group definitely has its advantages.

I was actually looking for that post of yours to call you out, because you saw it coming all along, I don't know if you do gamble ? maybe  you could have had some money on the line for that match. Italy were completely outplayed and outclassed by Switzerland. Switzerland played with an extremely high level of confidence, their movement on and off the ball last night was definitely one of the best I've seen in this tournament, they turned the underdog tag the other round.

I believe it is rather just a matter of time before England meets her own waterloo if they don't improve the game a lot going forward, because despite going behind very early into the game, you'd expected a more aggressive and tempo dictating approach from England, but all through the entirety of 120 minutes, England only had 2 shots on target, I don't understand how that can be sustainable against teams like Germany, France or Spain, if they happen to meet along the way.

Well you're right. Spanish fans are currently very satisfied with the performance of the Spanish national team. In fact, Spain only conceded once, namely yesterday. And even that was an own goal. So it can be said that Spain's defensive fortress has not yet been completely penetrated by any team at this time. It was a shame that Italy had to be eliminated so quickly. I want to talk a lot about my disappointment with Spalletti. But yeah that has happened and hopefully in the next euro Italy can be even better.
Of course, I am really depressed that we went out, it is certainly better to participate and be defeated than not to participate at all, without a doubt.  However, being eliminated in this round was really bad.  It is no coincidence that Donnarumma apologized for these poor performances.

Georgia's team was over the moon after the first own-goal, but the idyll didn't last very long. Spain locked them in on their own half and the execution began.
Still, getting through to the knock-out stage was a historical achievement for Georgia, so they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and will return home as heroes.
They lost but I am impressed with Georgia and how they played in this EURO tournament.
They had attacking style, they scored in every match they played, and they beat Portugal.
Georgia manager Willy Sagnol showed how good coach can create amazing result and how important they are.

Interesting matches today, France vs Belgium and Portugal vs Slovenia.
Is this the time for Ronaldo to finally score  a goal?

Germany does look like a great candidate to win the tournament, but so does Spain in my opinion, I think I'd rate Spain even much better than Germany currently.

Both Spain and Germany would be facing each other in the Quarter finals, maybe it's actually safer to presume that whichever team wins the match would go all the way to win the trophy, however, it's easier said than done.

This is actually the first Euro season that is becoming very difficult to predict the best candidate that would win the trophy, though almost all the countries seem to be very weak in performance compare to there other seasons however considering all there overall performances I think France has the best performance because if you watch there matches you will see the difference between them and every other countries.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Germany and Spain doesn't have a good performance but I'm only evaluating based on there performances and so far France is the only club I consider to have the most consistent performance among  others, however England is one of the country I'm seeing may not going to qualify for another round because with what I saw on there match against Slovakia I don't think they will stand a chance next round.

France will easily advance to the semifinals because they will be playing with the winner between Portugal and Slovenia.

I really don't agree that France have been consistent, or maybe the are just being a victiom of their previous success, but reagrdless there is definitely no false proof to pick an outright of which would lift the trophy and as I've said earlier there still could be some eliment of surprise down the stretch, so I guess I'll just wait out and see how it goes from here.

You have to feel sorry for Slovenia. They defended themselves really well, and it looked like that penalty saved by Oblak would give them a massive psychological advantage, but nope, they got outclassed in the shootout.
I'm glad Christiano Ronaldo managed to redeem himself. It's probably his last international tournament, so if they were to drop off because of that missed penalty, that would be devastating for him.


Current odds after tonight's round:

(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/01/oAG3c.png)

England is the favourite, but that's largely due to them having Switzerland as the opponent in the quarter-final, which is considered one of the weakest team in the bunch.
My first pick is Spain, followed by Portugal.

Switzerland, Germany and Spain are the three teams that have made the match in the last 16 really theirs quite well and it doesn't look that difficult. But for England, France and Portugal it looks like they got through from the round of 16 to the quarter-finals the really hard way. And the Portugal match looks to be a match that actually looks very tense. I really appreciated Slovenia's defense which was really tight and flawless until the end. Portugal they kept trying to penetrate but yeah it was quite difficult with the quite disciplined defense shown by Slovenia. I think Portugal lacked the courage to make long breakthrough passes. They play too many short passes. And short passes will definitely be difficult to implement if the opponent also closes their defense line. So Portugal can only keep trying and failing.

A very rare moment from Ronaldo also occurred in this match. Where the penalty kick could be read well by the Slovenian goalkeeper. And another moment was that Pepe also made a mistake at the back which made the Slovenian player come face to face with Diego Costa. Luckily Diego Costa managed to stop it. Pepe made a mistake because he must have been tired because after all he is not young anymore and he played the full game there. In fact, I still want to praise Cristiano Ronaldo's stamina for being able to survive until the match ended. That's very difficult for a player who is almost 40 years old and ran the field in 120 minutes. So it is quite natural that he failed to take advantage of the penalty in that match. Because I'm sure his energy has almost been exhausted. So the shot wasn't as strong as usual.

I disagree that France will easily find their way to qualify to the semi-finals because they will play against Portugal, so I have believe that the match will also be tough, just like Spain and Germany. The problem of Portugal is Ronaldo because his fellow team mates always focus to give him all the chances that they have to score and with his age now, they cannot have all what they expected from him. I'm not saying he's not capable, but age is an issue, and from my perspective, If the coach keeps Ronaldo on the bench, I believe the other players will do well against France.
I will love to see him play against France because mbappe will play against his idol, and that will make it and interesting match.

The France vs Portugal match will definitely be a match that is as fierce as the Germany vs Spain match. And it is difficult to determine which will be superior between France and Portugal. And yes, it is also the same as it is difficult to determine which one will be superior, Germany or Spain. Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal he is still playing quite well. But seeing him play full time even in extra time will indeed make the team ineffective. Because at his age he must have almost run out of stamina there. And I think coaches also have to provide portions that are not too forceful.

Their coach got a red card in 105 min. (because of Ronaldo's penalty). Maybe that's the reason why they didn't have the best preparation for the penalty shootout.

Every time I see Türkiye play, they are always the underdog but I enjoy how they approached the game. They have nothing to lose that's why they are all out and that's what makes them fun to watch.

Netherlands are are lucky to qualify because it's EURO rules but they are actually good. They just fail on games that really matters ;D

It's not strange to me that the English behave like the English, it's probably a remnant of their colonial philosophy that the world should look the way they imagine it. They are one of the worst teams in this competition, and they go further only because of pure luck and nothing more. When they run into a worthy opponent, they will not have a good time.

I also expect that someone from Spain, Germany or maybe Portugal will win the championship. Austria and Switzerland are interesting surprises, for me they look better than favourites England or France

I also expect that Germany will reach the final one way or another, and Spain is also one of the candidates to win the title. Austria and Switzerland are pleasant surprises, the only question is whether they can maintain the continuity of good games and surprise some more opponents.



As for the match between Austria and Turkey, it seems to me that this could be a match with a lot of goals considering how both teams are playing. It is interesting that the last match between these two teams ended with a score of 6-1 in favor of Austria (a friendly match last year), so Turkey will certainly seek redemption for that defeat in this match.

I would say England are considered the favorite simply because they're facing Switzerland in the quarter final, and not just that but their path generally looks like the easiest compared to that of Spain, at least on paper. If England should manage to win against Switzerland, they'll be facing either of Netherlands / Romania or Austria / Turkey, I don't think there is any easier path than that for any team, while as for Spain, even if the should win against Germany, they'll still have to either France or Portugal, and we can all agree that is quite a tough fixture for any team.

Well with the look of things I think there would be some fighting back from Romania on there second half, on the other hand Austria and Turkiye match will soon start and I believe the match will be more interesting and tougher than Netherlands match today because Austria and Turkiye has similar performance and this is the match they will never take for granted.

It was an easy win for Netherland today because they were able to score two goals in the second half by Malen to end the match 3-0. On the other hand Turkey pulled another stunt by winning Austria 2-1. They scored two goals before Austria scored the first goal. I wanted to place my bet on Turkey winning the match because they booker favored Austria to win the match but because I have not watched Austria match that much, I got confused and did not stake for the match.

It was a very tough game between both teams because it was very fast paced and each team had the potential to score each time they attacked. Turkiye were well prepared for this game and did their best to match the speed that Austria came with, the early goal they scored made things easier and gave them the advantage from the start. Austria came a long way, unexpectedly after a brilliant performance in this competition, they crash out. Netherland will be the next opponent for Turkiye, that's a tougher game.

Amazing!
Spain really conquered Georgia very well.
...

After Italy's departure from the tournament I believe that many will support Spain, very similar in style of play and certainly a fresh team with excellent dribbling.
But unfortunately, Spain had to fight first against another tough team, namely Germany. It cannot be denied that Germany also has a strong and solid lineup. So, of course they will be much more challenging compared to their previous opponents. Yes, in this QF, Spain vs Germany and also France vs Portugal are much more challenging and tight matches compared to the other 2 matches.

This is quite difficult to predict, but if we look at the probability, Spain has more probability, but only by 1% difference. So, there is still a high possibility that Germany will also reverse. It's just a matter of how both of them will optimize their chances during the match. If we look at the composition of the players, there is no doubt that both of them have a squad that is equally solid and strong, consisting of well-known top players and clubs.

What's about France vs Portugal?
Honestly, I really want to see Portugal in the final. But, in fact, this will be tough, and honestly, France has higher probability to win.

Considering the last match of Portugal and France, both teams looked not in their best performance. Even if France is predicted to win the match, but I think Portugal is still possible to surprise France. Moreover, Mbappe isn't in his best condition, this brings an impact on his performance. As a machine goal of France, this situation influences the productivity of France goals.

I still favor Portugal to win against France. I think Ronaldo factor and support from his teammates will lead them to be in the final round.  ;)  This will be the last Euro of Ronaldo.

I really don't know If Portugal can really count on Ronaldo right now, he's one of the greatest player to have ever graced a football pitch, but he's best days are far behind him and he's not accepting that reality which is his biggest problem right, and from mental state of mind, Ronaldo is not as confidence and as instinctive as goal poacher that he used to be, his emotions gets the best of him now and it really rubs off on the entire squad, he'd be better being a role player for betterment of the entire squad, he really doesn't have to play 90 minutes or spearhead the team, his influence on the game from the sideline or as a cameo for 25-30 minutes would still be of uttermost impact, but these Portugal team will not reach their best performance level if Ronaldo still have to be the sole player as their No. 9, like we what teams like Germany are doing with Thomas Muller, and even in the Copa America consider what Uruguay are doing with Luis Suarez despite Suarez being in red hot form for Inter Miami this season.

And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey
In fact, it is difficult to determine which team will make it to the semi-finals with the determined match pairs. especially for the Spain vs Germany match. The host team, Germany, is also in their best performance. they played very stable and disciplined from the start of the Euro. Spain showed an aggressive game which was always difficult to stop. But I would probably choose Germany.

And this is my choice for now who I will predict will qualify for the semi-finals.

- Germany
- Portugal
- Switzerland
- Dutch

But my choice could change when it comes to betting.

But we also have to look at the opponents they face, France is a big country and they have good players in them. Belgium actually has that too, but I don't see any good cooperation, and KDB can't do much.

2 matches remaining before we enter the round of 8 which will be played today. Who do you think will follow the 6 countries that are already in the top 8 of the 4 countries that will compete?

When the level of the teams that face each other is very equal, the names of the national teams go into the background, as this was the case, perhaps one of the best Belgian national teams that did not win anything... "dies"...
This is not something strange in my opinion, because in reality there are many who have a number of star players, but in their games they are just ordinary, even tend to be bad.

For example, England, they have good players in almost every position, but have they shown anything good? I don't see it, although I think the problem lies with their coach who doesn't have a strategy and even looks ridiculous in selecting players to play. Lol

Everyone has their own ideas, and it's nice to have different ideas and be able to talk about them.  For example, why do you bet on Germany and not Spain?
For me, the game of our German friends doesn't convince me very much, while the game of the red furies is really fluid and lethal at the same time.

Many factors can influence a team's performance. Even if a team has a lot of star players but if their coach is not good at making strategies then well it will be quite chaotic. These good players will not be able to display their maximum potential. And in several teams we have seen this. Where the team has a number of star players in Europe but the results are below everyone's expectations.

My choice may still be based on my gut feeling. Because even yesterday I chose the Netherlands and Türkiye based on my gut feeling and I didn't expect it to work. And now I hope my hunch works again. Although I also realized that Spain is actually much more trustworthy. It's just that I consider the atmosphere of the stadium which will be filled with the host's supporters there. So mentally Germany should be able to play with more confidence. yeah that's a lame excuse. But I understand that people prefer Spain.  ;D

It is a pity that these two countries are meeting in the quarter finals and not in the finals because I don't see any country that would have being able to eliminate them. However, one of them must go home and who will that be. Germany is the host and might be able to use this as an advantage over Spain and win the match. Spain on the other side is a tough team and will not allow themselves to be intimated by their host because winning the trophy is everyone's target.

But of them have to lose we do not know who will be the winner here just conclude that both teams are very great, Germany is also not lacking in its squad they have many experienced players too.

Many people say that if Germany wins then this team is the champion and vice versa with Spain.
I will not forget to watch this important match with my family.

Because they are two big football teams that are very interested in winning the competition, I am not expecting a very interesting game that will showcase end-to-end football between both teams because both teams will be trying to be careful not to make mistakes and that will make the game dull. I like Germany to host and win the Euro like Ivory Coast hosted and won the AFCON, that will be a really good record for them.

Meanwhile, currently, the match between Spain vs Georgia is still ongoing. Spain is still ahead.
For now it is:
Spain vs Georgia
 2 - 1

update minute of 71
The final result, Spain 4-1 Georgia.

Most goals were made by the midfielders of Spain team. I think this Span Euro team isn't so different with the golden era of Spain national team, they are very strong in the midfield line. The positive side of the current Spain team, they look like stronger in the defense line as well. But it looks not strong enough in attacking line.
Certainly, Spain is superior in any case than Georgia. So it is very natural that they win by a landslide in Georgia. Oh I see, and Spain meets Germany in the next round, this will really be interesting, huh? Spain is strong in midfield, but Germany is also strong in midfield. It will be quite a draw and will be a fierce match. They have both been champions. So this is still quite difficult to predict.

(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/02/oQcvd.png)
The Spain vs Germany and Portugal vs France pools leading up to the semi-finals will be much tougher than the England vs Switzerland and Netherlands vs Turkey pools. And here, I think, England will be one of the finalists for Euro 2024. Meanwhile in the top pool, it is still uncertain which team will qualify. because the competition between the 4 strong teams is really tight.

I really don't know If Portugal can really count on Ronaldo right now, he's one of the greatest player to have ever graced a football pitch, but he's best days are far behind him and he's not accepting that reality which is his biggest problem right, and from mental state of mind
Ronaldo is still a great player but I think he is mentally unstable, and he acts like a angry spoiled child if something is not going his way.
He is always asking for fouls full of drama, he took all free kick shots on goal for Portugal and he doesnt allow other players to do free kicks.
He missed a penalty and he is the player with most missed shots on goal in this EURO from all players.
It is time for him to finally retire and give spot to someone younger.

The Spain vs Germany match will indeed be a match that will make the atmosphere on the field feel like a final. because after all, both of them are the most perfect teams through all stages of this euro. And unfortunately they had to stop each other early, namely in the quarterfinals. I personally also think that Spain has the advantage, it's just that Germany as the host can have a better mentality and self-confidence. I might predict Germany to win but well I personally am not sure about my own choice. Anything can happen in this most anticipated match.

And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey
In fact, it is difficult to determine which team will make it to the semi-finals with the determined match pairs. especially for the Spain vs Germany match. The host team, Germany, is also in their best performance. they played very stable and disciplined from the start of the Euro. Spain showed an aggressive game which was always difficult to stop. But I would probably choose Germany.

And this is my choice for now who I will predict will qualify for the semi-finals.

- Germany
- Portugal
- Switzerland
- Dutch

But my choice could change when it comes to betting.

My choice for teams that will advance to the semi finals is pretty straight forward, and these teams are England, Spain, France and the Netherlands. I could have gone Switzerland instead of England, I just think England will find a way to scale through, as for Germany and Portugal, I don't think either of them have faced a team credible enough for to conclude that they're up to the task of eliminating Spain and France respectively, while for the Netherlands they've been somewhat good enough in my opinion, at least good enough to effortlessly see out the Turkish team.

Yes, there are many people who choose the way you choose. because the reasons you convey are also very understandable. But in essence, all these teams have the same chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. But yes, we still have to make a choice in this case. And everyone has their own choices which are quite varied. and it seems like your choice and mine are very different and we only have the same choice with the last choice, namely the Netherlands. This will be very exciting regardless of whose choice is the correct one.

Perhaps you're right, but at the end of the day he's doing his legacy and the entire squad more harm than actually helping out, starting every single game and playing almost every minute despite his poor form in front of goal just seem rather more like a blatant nepotism. His numbers are out there to speak for itself but those days are far behind him and he of all people should understand that you don't need to be on the pitch in order help your team mates, his presence alone in the dressing room and on the sideline would be more impactful than what he's currently offering the team on the pitch, however it's been said over and over again that he thrives mostly on the grand stage, maybe we can see that version of Ronaldo from the quarter final onwards.

(ENG) That is one of them, and notice that you have taken the coach's idea, that he brought up with the Team Belgium, the same thing happens with England in every national team tournament, they were ever favorites... and they have been close to achieving it but that is not enough, the coach is essential especially in teams with great players, sometimes you think the opposite, the coach has it easy with those great players. figures, but the coaches do their part to make a great team.

I have decided on Switzerland... anyway, even if Switzerland loses, I don't think ENG will be champions in this Euro 2024.

Usually when a team has a lot of star players it's like that, they compete to show who is the best and in the end they forget that they are carrying the name of a team or country that they should be prioritizing. but in England's case, I see the coach is having problems.

It's going to either be a blessing or a curse when a team has too many talented players, because finding a manager to properly manage these players can become the very first challenge for the team. There are three instances of teams that are suffering from too many talented players at the moment.
#1 being Brazil, which, although they have very valuable players, still finds it difficult to play together as a team, and because of that, they are not still favorites to win the Copa America that is ongoing, even though they are still in it.
#2 is Nigeria in Africa, with many talented players but still struggling to win games together.
and the #3 is England; they have struggled all through this competition; they were lucky in their last game; they will not continue and will not always be lucky. I do not see them as finalists in the Euro's, Guehi who has been one of their best defenders is suspended in their next game, it could be a problem.

Germany vs England in the final is an interesting match, but throughout EURO 2024, the performance of Gareth Southgate's squad is still far from expectations.
They had to fight hard until extra time to get rid of the Slovak National Team in the round of 16.
And in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 against the Swiss national team, it could decide whether they deserve to be champion candidates or not

Not close opportunity for Toni Kroos winning Ballon d'Or for this year depend with his national team performance in Euro 2024 will be the winner or not, seems get bigger chance for him if success bring Germany become the winner of Euro 2024 but its not easy because in the quarter final have waiting by Spain national team.
Bit interested on press conference behind the Madrid former Joselu said his hoping to retire Toni Kroos on Friday after facing Spain, its only joke but we can see how potential Germany will reach the semifinal round or Spain get opportunity lead the semifinal and potential become the winner.

The Netherlands is more convincing than Turkey, but for England, it is not sure that Switzerland could win but in head to head England has never lost a match with Switzerland.

We have our own choices but I'm sure the Netherlands will qualify while England is still doubtful. :o

Rather than Turkey, it looks like I would also favor Holland to be the winner. Yes, it is true that Turkey's progress at the Euro this time is quite good and significant. However, they still have quite a few weak points at several points.

I also know that Holland won't be that good for Euro 2024. At least, they seem to be stronger in defense, at least Van Dijk can be relied on along with the other defenders. The middle players are also pretty good, there are several well-known names there. But of course this will also depend on how they will compete on the field. Oh yes, I noticed that Frenkie de Jong was not in Ned's squad, even though he is one of the mainstay players at Barcelona. And some of the top players in the club are also more reserve players, such as Frimpong and Mathias de Ligt.

The Netherlands is more convincing than Turkey,
The Netherlands seems to be the only big team that has clocked into gear and rhythm for a team. Turkey will be a big challenge to that because they play very well too. Cody Gakpo will be marked, and other players like Xavi Simons will be marshaled.

 If it is a good day for Arda Guler, he could be a big problem for the Netherlands on their own end.

As a Turkish person, to be fair "everyone" is more convincing than us to the world, hell to even most of our football fans as well. We are not winning because we are "better" than other teams, we are winning because we play better than them, its that simple. Doesn't mean we are better than them at all times, maybe if we played 10 games against Austria, we may not win 5 or more, its not that at all, its about the fact that if we have one game to play and one game to win then we end up with getting a win without a doubt, its just that simple. Of course this doesn't mean that we will beat Netherlands, its football and anything could happen, we could lose or win, I am not talking about that part. I am just saying that nobody should consider us lost even before the game, its quite important to remember that we could beat anyone and could lose to anyone, we are a bit unexpected wildcard of this tournament.

EURO is in the final stages and I am really hoping to see interesting matches and lot of goals in quarter finals.
If I had to pick one match with most goals I would select Netherlands vs Turkie, both teams showed they can score goals and they should be motivated to go in semi-finals.
Gakpo is one of the best goal scorers in this EURO with 3 goals, same as Musiala from Germany.

Nice odds on Sportsbet for both players:

Germany will be able to win Spain if they can be in charge of the midfield but that will be difficult for them. Whoever win the match might be the winner of this year Euros.
Correct. They either lift the Euro title or have the silver medals. Germany and Spain will really fight it off in their meeting because they know if any of them wins, no team can stop them from their destination to lift the trophy unless they get to meet France along the way, that can be another stumbling block to conquer on the way to finals

I think Turkey does loss, that is, you know, that safe bet of those 4 games is Holland... in the others 3 really anything can happen.

Now, surely, just as you is sure that Turkey beats Holland, I am sure that England loses, therefore we have a tie of options.  :)

I wouldn't say I'm sure that Turkey beats Netherlands, I just have a feeling they might cause a surprise. I'm not convinced the Dutch team is particularly strong this season. They did pretty well against Romania, but they had some hard times in the other games.
Turkey is highly motivated, and considering the size of Turkich diaspora in Germany, they'll be pretty much playing at home.

Usually when a team has a lot of star players it's like that, they compete to show who is the best and in the end they forget that they are carrying the name of a team or country that they should be prioritizing. but in England's case, I see the coach is having problems.
It's going to either be a blessing or a curse when a team has too many talented players, because finding a manager to properly manage these players can become the very first challenge for the team. There are three instances of teams that are suffering from too many talented players at the moment.
#1 being Brazil, which, although they have very valuable players, still finds it difficult to play together as a team, and because of that, they are not still favorites to win the Copa America that is ongoing, even though they are still in it.
#2 is Nigeria in Africa, with many talented players but still struggling to win games together.
and the #3 is England; they have struggled all through this competition; they were lucky in their last game; they will not continue and will not always be lucky. I do not see them as finalists in the Euro's, Guehi who has been one of their best defenders is suspended in their next game, it could be a problem.

It's very interesting what you say, for me Brazil has had a hard time emerging in the Copa America, I see that it is a great team but I don't know what things are failing, they are all good, I don't know if it is the direction, or luck, in the case of Nigeria in Africa, it has always been one of the teams that I like to watch play the most, moreover because of its joy of football, I consider it a shame not to see African teams participating at least in the Euro Cup, they should be included, but well, not much can be done, in the case of England, wow, tremendous team with so many stars and sometimes it gets complicated for them, there shouldn't be such a thing, but that's the beauty of football, that nothing is written and anything can happen.

EURO is in the final stages and I am really hoping to see interesting matches and lot of goals in quarter finals.
If I had to pick one match with most goals I would select Netherlands vs Turkie, both teams showed they can score goals and they should be motivated to go in semi-finals.
Gakpo is one of the best goal scorers in this EURO with 3 goals, same as Musiala from Germany.

Nice odds on Sportsbet for both players:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/international/european-championship/outrights
It doesn't feel like the Euros have entered the quarter-finals. And tomorrow the quarter-finals will finish. Today's matches are Spain vs Germany and Portugal vs France. These are the two most anticipated matches. And I think the most goals will occur in the Spain vs Germany match. Meanwhile, in the Portugal vs France match, I don't think the match will produce many goals. And the match could even go into extra time.

Also in my opinion that match appears to be a kind of preview of the final that took place before the final, I dont know if you understood me.  I support Spain but I am not sure that it will win, Germany in any case is really strong.
Only the two of them can win the title.
The Spain vs Germany match will indeed be a match that will make the atmosphere on the field feel like a final. because after all, both of them are the most perfect teams through all stages of this euro. And unfortunately they had to stop each other early, namely in the quarterfinals. I personally also think that Spain has the advantage, it's just that Germany as the host can have a better mentality and self-confidence. I might predict Germany to win but well I personally am not sure about my own choice. Anything can happen in this most anticipated match.
Wow, this match is going to be so awesome man. Spain and Germany are arguably two of the ultimate European giants and can hardly be believed to be competing in the quarterfinals. I mean both teams have been on the rampage throughout the tournament and it is so sad that one has to be dumped out prematurely. Spain has all of it, the skills, the talent and yes the experience with most of them playing like a perfectly oiled machine. But Germany has the home-field advantage, and that’s a factor, you never know the crowd can bring that back home. I'm torn, man. .. I always feel Germany will win it but sometimes another voice inside my head will say; No, this is Spain’s year, they’ve got some of the best players in the world, and they know how to win big games. Really, I am not going to attempt predicting the outcome; let them play the game and let’s wait and see how it goes! That’s going to be hardcore; I am looking forward to witnessing these two bulls go head to head or should I say HORN TO HORN ;D

Yes, you are right, if they can use it well, then they will be very good and strong, but if they are not good at using it it will make them no better than a team with an ordinary player composition.

You mentioned a good example of a team with star-studded players. And I will give an example of how a team has succeeded in utilizing the composition of the famous players they have, for example Spain with its squad which managed to win the World Cup in 2010.

If you have not watched the Euro competition before or have not been following up with the games, today is a good time to start because it is the quarterfinals, and the competition has just become more tense.
In this competition and stage, Germany plays against Spain, and it is difficult to tell who the winner will be.

Later today, Portugal will know if it is the end of the road for them as they play France.

Hot games in the line- up.

Anyways, Germany have been slightly the better team since I started watching, they've created the most chances and were very good in possession of the ball and not giving it away any easily, this is going to be a really tough match, just as it's been hyped to be.

The match is ongoing and it is on extra time as the match ended in 1-1 draw after 90 minutes. Dani Olmo scored an early goal on 6 minutes of the second half and Wirtz was able to equalize the goal on the 89th minutes to bring back hope for Germany. After Spain scored, they became weak and Germany took over the game and pressured till the goal was equalized. Germany have a good chance of winning this match and qualifying to tje next round because Yamal, Morata and Williams are out of the match.

ESP 1-1 GER.

Spain vs Portugal - the first half was a bit dull towards the second half there was some excitement after Olmo scored for Spain as well as Germany towards the end of the game in the 89th minute Wirtz scored to equalize.

The bitterness that Germany had to feel in extra time in the second half they had to concede a goal that was very unlikely to return to equalize even though there were several opportunities that did not become goals can be said to be unlucky.

Now we will watch Portugal vs France no less exciting....

I think sadness has taken over the whole of Dutch this night. It was actually heartbreaking that they have to leave the stage at that very crucial moment. I actually know that one of the countries will go home tonight but I didn't expect it to happen in such a dramatic and high voltage manner. It would have been fine that it ended in the normal match or there was a goal in one half of the extra time and not to wait till 119th minute to end in such a way. I wish the Germans would understand that this is football and bear with the situation. Let us see what France and Portugal have to give us. I believe this will also be another fascinating match. Sitting comfortably to view the match without missing any scene.

Losing on penalties would have been better than losing in this dramatic fashion, and it's true that all the fans were waiting for the shootout moment to happen but it didn't as Spain surprised with the header.

There is a sense of angry disappointment for sure, it's part of the entertainment but the disappointment will be very deep.

Yea, you rightly understood me... It would have been better they were exited from the penalty shootout and not the late minute extra time lose. It is painful to every other people let alone the host. Germany were honestly prepared for this, but it is unfortunate they have to say bye at this point. Unlike other competitions they don't give their best. In thus competition, they have been giving their best from day one till this moment. I have a strong feeling that Spain who eliminated them should reach the finals because the meeting was just like a final before finals.

This is the first time that a host will go home in the quarter finals and those did not speak good about Germany. They tried their best but it was not enough to see them through to the semifinals.

I am quite glad that Germany lost. Merih Demiral did our "Bozkurt" symbol, something that represents a "wolf" and has been the animal of Turks for longer than 2000 years. And he got banned for 2 games, and not for "racism" neither, if that was the case then the rule that he was banned for would be article 14, no he got banned for 2 games because of article 11, which is just misconduct and nothing major neither, no chance for appeal neither, so he will not be in the next two games, quarter finals and semi finals. Germany has always been quite racist towards the Turkish people, and because of that Uefa wanted to keep them happy with this. I am glad that they are gone, they can go home and cry about it now. I do hope that all of our players go out tomorrow and do the sign, that way Uefa is forced to either ban ALL of them, or they have to realize their mistake and not do that, we would leave the choice to them. If they decide to ban all of the players, that will be something UEFA will be remembered forever, and it would be even better, sometimes protests are important, I am against not going to the game, I do not want us to draw the team, I just want all of them, every single player, to make the sign at the start of the game and even during the game if they can, so that we force UEFA to ban every single player. I bet they can't, so they will be humiliated.

I see what you did there ;D To be honest, I didn't expect they would go to ET.

What's about France vs Portugal?
Honestly, I really want to see Portugal in the final. But, in fact, this will be tough, and honestly, France has higher probability to win.
Considering the last match of Portugal and France, both teams looked not in their best performance. Even if France is predicted to win the match, but I think Portugal is still possible to surprise France.
A sad defeat for Portugal. Lost in penalty shootouts. Yes, both of them have tried very optimally, even to the point of extra time several times, and in the end penalty shotouts. It is not very easy for Ronaldo to take Portugal to the next round, it's just that, indeed, it is a team, and they missed the penalty shotouts.

Mbappe and others also have done their best, so did Portugal. However, they also missed many opportunities, because both of them were that strong, in every line, their guard against Ronaldo was also getting tighter.
What is certain is that this time, Mbappe brought the team back to qualify for the SF round and this was very good for them. France, at least, can be one of the finalists and maybe be the winner if they can win the match against Spain in the SF match later.

Congratulations to Spain,
Great performance
See ya Spain in the QF against France.
This will also be a tense and tight semifinals. Really, this Euro has several early finals taking place and it's really exciting to see them. Congratulations both Spain and France.

Apart from Germany and Spain which I know that Spain earned it anyhow it happened, in the case of France, they don't deserve to win. These guys have not scored yet a goal on their own since this tournament started and yet they are through to the semi finals. If football is truly fair, Spain should be able to eliminate them in the stage.

I would have loved the Spain vs France Quarter finals game if both teams have all their players, but Spain will be very short handed for that game, they  have loads of players that would miss the game, especially at the heart of their defense, both Carvajal and Le Normand are going to sit the match out meanwhile they also have a host of players that would miss the finals as well if they should get booked in that game if Spain should make it to the finals.

Now, surely, just as you is sure that Turkey beats Holland, I am sure that England loses, therefore we have a tie of options.  :)
The Netherlands is more convincing than Turkey, but for England, it is not sure that Switzerland could win but in head to head England has never lost a match with Switzerland.

We have our own choices but I'm sure the Netherlands will qualify while England is still doubtful. :o

These games will be very close, I personally believe in what Holland can do, I see them as very strong, on the other hand, the way Turkey played never convinced me, but England has to give it their all, it is a country that I see stumbling, things can go wrong for it, because it got very complicated in the last game and this could be very disappointing the next time they meet a powerful country again, it is not going to be easy for either team anymore, I see each game as a potential final.

Have bad news for Spain on semifinal match against France, Dani Carvajal as important players on right defender position will absent after receiving red card but he was received yellow card before and make him misses for the next match against France. I don't know who will fill in this position although has Jesus Navas but I doubt with his performance will success stop Mbappe or not?

Congratulation for Spain and France national teams are both team qualified to semifinal and have to face each other for next tomorrow day, Spain make fantastic performance against Germany actually on extra additional time although have huge pressure but success win on late minutes goal.
Have bad news for Spain on semifinal match against France, Dani Carvajal as important players on right defender position will absent after receiving red card but he was received yellow card before and make him misses for the next match against France. I don't know who will fill in this position although has Jesus Navas but I doubt with his performance will success stop Mbappe or not?
I also congratulate them for successfully advancing to the semifinals of this year's Euro. It wasn't an easy journey for them, but they could be in the semifinals.

Carvajal received a second yellow card in stoppage time, so he had to be given a red card by the referee. Even though the match was at the end, in my opinion that was something that should not have happened. However, if you look at the situation, at that time it would have created a dangerous situation. Carvajal did not commit a violation.

Violation or not, it doesn't matter now. If they're allowed to challenge, I doubt the decision can be reversed in time for the SF.

Let's not forget that the national team is composed of top/elite players from the country that's why I'm not worried about Carvajal missing out against Mbappe and the French team. Someone else will step up and it will be business as usual.

I would have loved the Spain vs France Quarter finals game if both teams have all their players, but Spain will be very short handed for that game, they  have loads of players that would miss the game, especially at the heart of their defense, both Carvajal and Le Normand are going to sit the match out meanwhile they also have a host of players that would miss the finals as well if they should get booked in that game if Spain should make it to the finals.

Right from the beginning of the season I had already had France and Spain in mind to reach the final stage of the league because I consider the two countries to have the best performance among others, don't get me wrong I'm not disputing the fact that other clubs are not strong but what I'm saying is that so far France and Spain has shown superiority over the other teams.

So for me I wouldn't like the both teams to meet on the Quarter finals if not there chances of meeting each other on the finals will no longer be possible because one team will be able to qualify, perhaps just like what happen between real Madrid and Bayern Munich on the champions League because it was almost certain that Bayern Munich and real Madrid will eventually reach the finals but the moment they fixture Bayern Munich and real Madrid on the semi finals everything changed, so I wouldn't like France and Spain to result that way.

(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/07/06/osWlg.png)

The biggest omission from Gareth Southgate yet again in my opinion is Cole Palmer, I still can't fathom why Palmer keeps sitting on the bench even Mainoo is getting a playing time ahead of him, meanwhile England keeps playing the most boring football compared to any other in this competition, and lack creativity in midfield.

Despite the caliber of great players and talent England national possess, a good coach has always been their their problem and it's becoming evident that Gareth Southgate is also one of them.

Congratulations to France! Unfortunately for CR7 fans, this is most likely his last competitive international game. It's time to pass the torch to the next generation like Mbappe. Hopefully, he can lead his national team to a major trophy this time.
It was an interesting match, both teams played well, but Portugal performed better than my expectations. I expected France to defeat Portugal before the end of full time, but to my surprise, the match ended in penalty kicks, France was even lucky, as Portugal had clear chances in extra time to qualify for the semi-final but congratulation to france.

With France's current form, it will be very difficult for Spain to qualify for the final because Spain's defense is not strong and all of France's positions are well intact, it is only their selfishness that will make it possible Spain to qualify.

The match ended with England through to the semi-finals awaiting either the Netherlands or Turkey.
Overall the match was boring but fortunately England equalized not long after Switzerland scored.
We will now watch Netherlands vs Turkey as this match will be interesting.

England managed to qualify to the semifinals after a penalty shootout in which England was able to score all their penalties because they have professional penalty players. Alexander Arnold was the man that put them through after he scored the last penalty for England. Akanji was unable to score his own penalty that made them unable to scale through to the semifinals. Saka was England savior because he equalized the only goal Switzerland scored five minutes after.

I don't if  should say England deserved to go through to the next stage, or not Switzerland deserved it better, but imo Switzerland were the better team for vast majority of the match, and England just look like a bunch of amateurs, however the fact that they were able to bounce back from one goal down could be enough reason to say that they have indeed earned their spot in the semifinals.

Penalty perfection from the Three Lions, and a cool save by Pickford :)
The performance from England is poor and I have a horrible feeling they will not win the Euros,  they have luck in this match but not for the next round
And I have to give some love to the Swiss, They were one of the most enjoyable teams to watch in this tournament, and they deserve tons of love and respect. I know losing that way hurts.

The England players have more experience because most of them play penalties for their respective clubs. As soon as Switzerland missed the first one, England knew they had the way to win. Switzerland should be proud; they almost knocked out England.

Turkeyi is about to make history if they can actually win or keep their lead for the next 45 minutes. They enter halftime with a goal lead against the Netherlands.

Carvajah did a nice job of dragging Musiala down. If he didn't do that, it would have resulted in a goal because Musiala had passed him with the ball. That action save Spain despite the red card given to Carvajah.

Spain can sort out a good substitute for Carvajah to play against France. No issues in the aspect

Semi-final confirmed: Netherlands vs England

Wesley Sneijder, Clarence Seedorf, Frenkie De Jong, and his wife were seen watching live from the stadium, they looked happy
Great job Netherlands, congratulations...
But I want to give appreciation to Arda Guler, he is one of the rare center forwards in this tournament, controls the flow of the ball, progresses it in transition, looks comfortable on the wing, and is so young.

Indeed. Honestly, I was a bit surprised by Turkey's performance, they did very well, yes they really did their best to get through to the semi-finals. This is truly extraordinary, they made the attack and survived quite strongly. It's just that they were quite unfortunate, accidentally making Muldur carry out an OG in his own goal. It really makes you mentally fall. Moreover, they couldn't equalize again afterwards and even got red cards. In fact, Turkey was leading first with 1 goal in the first half and was able to hold on until the 70th minute before there was a goal from Ned. Well, congratulations to the Netherlands and also England as the winners of the match this day.

For the finals, I predict Spain against Netherlands.

Congratulations to the Netherlands, the match wasn't easy for them ;D, but they still managed to qualify, and Turkey plays wonderfully, they are very dangerous in attack it's just that Vincenzo Montella wasn't quick to make substitutions, I expected him to do the necessary substitutions immediately when they were playing 1-1 The way Turkey were pressuring Netherlands didn't make me lose up on them until the referee blew the final whistle.

The semi-finals will be tough, especially Spain against France, but France is more likely to win. However, I can't predict the England and Netherlands match because England has qualified with a narrow escape in round of 16 and quarter final, and the way Turkey pressured Netherland today makes it difficult for me to predict the winner.

Tough luck, we came as far as we could and that should be good enough, I am happy that we came all this way to quarter finals and we did our best. Netherlands didn't even play that well if you ask me, but our "amazing" manager made the subs very late in the game, when all our players were tired, people were watching the game realizing that we need to change some players and he still waited. After we got scored twice he made the changes when it was already too late. I applaud all of our players and they did all they could, its the only thing that matters because if you try your best and still fail, at the  very least you can feel comfortable about what you achieved. This is why I am honored to have all of them, this was it, next time I bet we are going to be even better after we get rid of this manager.

Yes, once again, this will be a fairly tight and competitive match. because both of them have enough top players which makes these two clubs actually favorites to win Euro 2024. In essence, whoever wins between France or Spain, they will have a much greater chance of winning in the final, compared to their opponents England or Netherlands . This is what I think yes. And I myself am still quite confused about predicting who will advance to the final round, whether Spain or France. France might be more favorite, yes, and maybe this is just my prediction.  ;D

Yes, it makes sense, I think Spain has a chance for that, they are strong in all areas. But previously Carvajal received a red card against Germany, even though he is one of Spain's mainstay defenders. So, Dani Carvajal got a one-match ban for the semi-finals, and if he continues, he will be able to compete again in the final round. But unfortunately, he has a fairly important role in the team and his performance is also quite good, so without him, this would definitely be quite lacking. Yes, but they actually still have several other famous and top defenders, it's just a shame. And most likely his successor will be Jesús Navas.

Yeah, it really came down the wire in each and everyone of those match, they were all determined by the smallest of margins. The semi finals should also follow suit and to be more interesting at least, I can speak of the France vs Spain match to be the one I'll be looking out for the most. Watching England play football have been the most boring thing for me in recent time, maybe the Netherlands can help spark some form of life into them but I'm really not that optimistic, given how they've played from the group stages till now.

The Netherlands almost lost in the last 8, but they were able to get back a goal and turn things around so that they could finally win and be in the semifinals. In fact, these two matches are difficult to predict, because the teams facing each other do not appear to have significant differences.

Indeed the Netherlands had to turn things around after going behind in the first half, but I think England also familiar such situation because they've had to come from behind not just once, but twice first in the round of 16 match against Slovakia the went behind in the first half and didn't get back on level terms until almost the final kick of the match, and it was the same thing against Switzerland. So, we likely will be seeing a match of two identical teams.

Yes, the Netherlands had a dramatic comeback in the final seconds of that match, and England had some comebacks as well! They found themselves in some real fixes against Slovakia and Switzerland, though pulled through when it was most needed. It is often said, when you are given lemons in life, you make lemonade out of it; England has been making comeback lemonade like experts. They possess the traits of a championship team because they have proved that they can deliver regardless of pressure. Therefore, this will be the match between two teams that do not know how to give up the game until the end, how to come back from behind and, most importantly, how to win! It is going to be quite scrappy, energized, and both teams will be fully committed and extremely determined on the pitch

They have one of the best goal scorers in this competition Gakpo, and I think they have realistic chance against England.

But it is difficult for the Netherlands to win EURO if it meets Spain.
Against Turkey Gakpo could not score despite playing a full game yesterday but when playing with England it is likely that he can score again to realize the top scorer.
That's a good opportunity to choose to bet on Spain qualifying, currently not seeing the betting market what odds the bookie will give with Spain qualifying?

Yea of course Spain should be able ro win France because since the beginning of the competition Spain have being doing pretty good and have won all the or matches without penalty shootout. On the other hand France has won most of the or match in an unprofessional way apart from two matches which was this last won that they won Portugal with penalty shootout and one in the group stage. The rest three matches was own with an own goal. France is always finding it difficult to score goal but Spain are used to scoring goals.

Yes, the competition is getting harder and harder. especially for the match between Spain vs France, this will be the toughest match in this semi-final. Both of them are champions and favorites, just like Germany before, who was already defeated by Spain. So, it is possible that Spain has higher self-confidence and motivation than France. However, it cannot be said like this, because France, with several top players in it, definitely wants to be successful at the Euros this time.

As for Ned vs England, yes this is also quite interesting. However, England should be able to successfully enter the final round. However, so far, even though there are Bellingham, Kane and several top players, England's performance has not been as good or as significant. However, I am quite sure that England will be the winner in the match of Ned vs England.

Its pain of the final Euro about possibility France vs England will face each other, considering their boring performance from phase group until success reach the semifinal round I don't know how not interested yet watching with France and England national team performance.
Both teams not playing aggressive every match and make us watching the match such as is not Euro matches, but I don't know will England and France get top performance on the semifinal match and have difference tactician regarding poor and boring performance with their games in 16 of round or quarter final match.

As for Ned vs England, yes this is also quite interesting. However, England should be able to successfully enter the final round. However, so far, even though there are Bellingham, Kane and several top players, England's performance has not been as good or as significant. However, I am quite sure that England will be the winner in the match of Ned vs England.
All the semi-final matches are interesting because all the teams are big teams. Netherlands vs England should be a tight match although England is the favorite team to win the match. If we analyze the winning probability of each team, actually England looks not very superior against Netherlands. We know Netherlands have strong defenders but England have strong attackers. England should win the match if England could optimize the ability of Bellingham, Saka, Foden, and Kane. I am curious how England coach to apply tactics against Netherlands game that is well knows as total football.

Almost everyone writing off England huh? ;D I might be the odd one here but, for some reason, I think they have a higher chance of getting past Netherlands than most thinks. I doubt they played their best football yet and they keep advancing. They get more confidence as the tournament progresses and that's a dangerous thing

Based on how the matches went, judging only from the final recap I saw, Spain seems to be the strongest at the moment
It seems to me that he doesn't give away space easily, that he manages to dribble and possess the ball well and has the flashes that lead to victories like with Germany
Honestly, I don't see any others that are up to the task, neither France nor England.

I dont think so considering how Spain plays, in the end the Red Furies are probably the strongest team.

I really liked Montella Turkey, but obviously there is little quality in that team, they squeezed out everything they could.
Maybe this is the beginning of growth for the Turkish national team, they did an excellent job.

England played below their maximum level but they were able to go this far not just because of luck. but indeed because they are able to do it. So England cannot be underestimated at all. It's just that I'm still unsure which team should be favorite in the Netherlands vs England match. maybe if England show their maximum game then they deserve to be favorites. but I doubt they will.

France vs Spain looks like it will be a more interesting match than the other matches in this semifinal round. These two teams also displayed interesting games in previous matches, unlike England.

The Netherlands almost lost in the last 8, but they were able to get back a goal and turn things around so that they could finally win and be in the semifinals. In fact, these two matches are difficult to predict, because the teams facing each other do not appear to have significant differences.

It is difficult to predict but based on the current performance, I don't know what France and England are doing on the pitch, this is not football
I hope Spain and the Netherlands play in the final, Spain–Netherlands final rematch in World Cup 2010.
And Spain has the best chance of winning the Euros this time, they are playing well and have no lack of young and talented players.
Maybe the match will be full of luck from each team, I mean they can win the match because they are a little luckier. Sometimes that is something that often happens in football, especially when it is difficult for us to predict the match that will take place.

The 4 remaining teams have the opportunity to appear in the final round and become champions, provided that they must be able to play a better game than before.

yeah, I also doubt they will be able to get past this round. Because so far I feel that other teams are still playing above the English team. Unless they start to wake up and find their better style of play.

Today Spain will play France. And I think this match will be quite a fierce match. But Spain seems to be the favorite in this match. And I will also favor Spain.

yes, exactly, at the moment Spain remains the best team overall compared to the others.  Honestly, I have seen the quality drop, I dont know if it is because the players are tired or because there is generally less quality.  I dont know how to decide.  But I see the glass full, better than looking at nothing.

Of course Spain is the favorite in this match because they got super strikers that are capable of scoring goals anytime and they are super sharp. France on the other hand finds it difficult of finding the back of the post in most of their matches and they were able to reach this stage with a penalty shootout, but Spain won brilliantly. However, Spain will have a little problem in their defense because Carvajal was booked on a red card in their last match against Germany for an unnecessary foul due to aggression.

In a few hours we will see the first semifinal between Spain and France. This is certainly tense for them, because in one step they will be in the final and for that they have to make sure that they can win this match.

We know that Mbappe is a mainstay of France, but at this Euro he is having difficulty playing very well. He has only scored 1 goal so far, in this match I am sure he will get more attention from Spain.

Spain have forced almost any opposing team to be either as equally entertaining or they get tactically outplayed, and these first few minutes into the game have showed that France will have to show some attacking prowess in order to subdue this Spanish team.

Spain have gotten a couple of half decent chances that could have easily turned out to be scoring opportunities for them.

I think there has been no team more deserving of reaching the finals of this tournament or even going all the way to win it that Spain actually because they've been world class from the very first game against Croatia and they played majority of the so called favorites coming into this tournament, all including Croatia, Italy and Germany and now France being their latest victim. There is no team better deserving in my candid opinion, but football is more than just deserving a title, you've got to win it!

A fruitless second half for France as they were unable to equalize the goal which Spain scored within 4 minutes. Yamal is the man of the match as he equalized the first goal with a world class strike and also made an assist in the second goal which Olmo scored. Spain gat the quality that you need to win the competition and I see them as the favorite to win this competition.

France is a great team, has amazing players, won a world cup in 2018 and finalist in 2022, so it is obvious that they are a marvelous team, but lets be honest about it and see that they were horrible all tournament long, they really sucked and we should consider the fact that its not going to be that easy. We need to remember that we are talking about a different France for the past games, they really played terrible, hell they didn't even had any proper goals until here. So it is only normal that the team that started the tournament with a 3-0 decisive win over Croatia to be at the finals, Spain showed their force and how good they are, they played better than anytime they played in the recent years and they were better on this game as well.

Not quite the action you would expect to see in the 2nd half. I thought France would press much harder, given it's a semi-final and they had nothing to lose, but Spain got the job done and will face England/the Netherlands in the final, where they'll be the favourite.
It's a relief that the game didn't go to penalties.

As it currently stands, Spain is the stronger team that fits to lift the Euro trophy. I don't see any strong contestants that can stop them as they are looking unstoppable as they have beaten the tough teams like Germany and France that we thought could hinder them and have the same opportunity as well as them to lift the Euro title.

Taken from Ig Euro 2024

This time, Mbappe had to admit Spain's superiority in the Euro semi-finals and had to bury deep in his desire to lift the Euro 2024 trophy. Because France had just been defeated by Spain in a match that was actually very fierce and tight.

France was able to take the lead first and this was actually enough to make the team's motivation much higher. It's just that, as time went on in the match, they were unable to score any more goals, Mbappe also had quite a hard time breaking through Spain's goal, his guard really tightened after the first goal which occurred very early in the match. Even though statistically France has quite significant attacks and dominance, it turns out that Spain is the one who can optimize its attacks very well.

All the semi-final matches are interesting because all the teams are big teams. Netherlands vs England should be a tight match although England is the favorite team to win the match.
Ya, they are. They are big teams that have top players, who have very strong squads in various lines, and are top teams. This event will be very exciting and high tensions even since the semi-finals, or even since the last quarter final.

To me, Spain is to be the new champion of the Euro. England or the Netherlands is no match for them
Truly, Spain
I thought France would win, really, from the start, France's movement was really bad, you know. Especially after the first goal, I was really confident that France would win. However, it turned out that Spain was cool, because the bus turned things around to 2 - 1.

Many people have commented on Spain's performance here, and while I was confident in the France players when I looked at their starting eleven and bench players, I had doubts about Spain's ability to win the tournament. However, Spain's performance disproved my prediction.
The match was competitive. The Spanish defense was well coordinated, so despite Kylian Mbappe's best efforts, there was no possibility for him to score. If Spain maintains this level of performance, I am confident that they will win any qualifying team between England and the Netherlands

I wanted Switzerland in the semi-finals, but nothing to do, England in the semi-finals is just a companion in the statistics, since in the France-Spain match, there is the champion.

You said it like it is, my brother, what I think is that the winner of the EURO will be Spain, besides that they have shown a very high level of football, the team as such is very well integrated, it is a shame that Carvajal did not play today, because he is a player who is really very good, but for the final he will be active, for me one of the best, him and Morata, although today I saw Morata a little distracted, he arrived late, well, it must be the normal tiredness of all capital, but Yamal was totally incredible, he scored a goal that put Spain through to the final.

Looking for the most attractive teams seems Netherland is most ideal team qualify to final for facing Spain than England have too boring game play. Its interested the final team after Spain qualified to final defeating France have not interested with their games play but not close opportunity with England as not favorite team has opportunity qualify to final round.

Spain become the only one team qualified to final of Euro 2024 without loss or being draw since the phase group, but the opponent team in the final between England or Netherland can't defend the unbeaten record after loss or draw from phase group.

Spain will watch this match and analyze the team that will be their opponent in the final match, whether it is England or the Netherlands. Spain managed to qualify for the final round after they managed to beat France in the semifinal round yesterday.

Funny enough the people I had in mind to win the match was France because considering how other seasons has been for them but I didn't realize that those performance was no longer there, however the most surprising part is that after they scored their goal it was not even long Spain had already equalize the goal, actually it was very sad for France yesterday, though there performance was okay but they are not consistent.

Actually Mbappe and Dembele tried all they could but there was no way to break the Spanish defense, however I love the kind of structure Spain build on there defense line because they were very active, also Yamal has proven to Spain that he has one of the best quality player among all the players because that was the reason he was given an award after the match.

Besides Italy, I'm also a bit disappointed that Portugal is eliminated by France. Portugal has played quite well but they were defeated in penalty shootout. Portugal is one of the teams that is favored to be the champion in this Euro. And German also left the competition quite early, but Spain deserves to beat them. Because Spain defeated big teams, I also support Spain in the final round.

Anyway, I think it is difficult to predict which team to be the second finalist because both England and Netherland have almost the same level of squad. But if we consider the performance of both teams, Netherland looks better because they are very productive in scoring goals. They also have strong defense, so England may be very difficult to score.

Throughout this tournament Spain has played better, it cannot be denied that the EURO champions this time prefer Spain to England or the Netherlands who will qualify for the final.
Spain have a great quality of play, they mastered everything including the easy 16-year-old game that was decisive for Spain but unfortunately he could not play full because I read the rules in Germany minors cannot work more than 7 nights that's what I read in the news.
We know we wanted to see Yamal play the full match with Spain.

England is similar to France and they hardly score goals to win their matches, they were able to qualify to the semifinals through penalties but today will be their unlucky day because Netherlands will win them without reaching extra time or penalty shootout. The Netherlands team are good at scoring and winning without penalty so this will be an elimination for England as they will face a strong team.

Their main rival is themselves, the coach is also a fundamental part of the team and although sometimes the changes do not go very well, he achieves the results.

Spain is a candidate to win Euro 2024, or any event.   8)

I like the Luis de la Fuente football tactics and I will admit Spain is playing a good game in the Euro 2024.
Not only are the candidates but I think Spain will win Euro 2024 unless the unthinkable happens on Sunday.
And I appreciate Jesús Navas. He is the last active player in the national team from Spain's golden generation more than ten years

With the formation that Southgate released this evening against their meeting with Netherlands, it is obvious that he is being so careful of his goal post. He doesn't want to concede from the Netherlands because he knows too well that only a goal can decide the match tonight. In the other way round he has believed his ability to play the extra time because in his last two fixtures he played the extra time and survived. The formation I am seeing is going to stretch this match to an unnecessary extent. This is because Saka has joined the defense to make it a 5-man defense. With this formation, England can attack and also retract swiftly.

Told you ;D

Congrats to England! Now that the two early favorites to win the tournament are finally facing off in the Finals, which one will you pick? Spain is currently the favorite as expected (@2.41) and the odds isn't that bad. I'm honestly surprised it's that high.

I would say that regarding Spain we are all aligned, I think that most of us think or hope that Spain can win. Considering the statistics and looking at what they manage to do from the match summaries I can say that they are the most qualified to win. I dont see other good team like Spain.
Spain is the most aggressive team in the tournament, they play seriously always with an intent to win every game they are in, England may not be able to match this aggressiveness when they play in the finals.

Gareth Southgate got hos team selections and substitutions right in this England against Netherlands semi finals, the substitutes Palmer and Watkins combined well to get the goal, the coach has to be spot on again in the finals.

England is not my favorite in this match, in the first half England performed comfortably and the Netherlands were lucky to still be in the game but in the second half praise was given to the Netherlands who were able to handle England better, and I am still confident that the Netherlands will win the match
But Ollie Watkins surprised me, That shot was spectacular and whatever my opinion on the pen is I think it's hard to make the argument England didn't deserve the win.
Congrats to England... but in the final game on Sunday, I bet on Spain

Well, supported. Spain is the main candidate for the Euro trophy. England can compete with them because the evidence is quite clear in the formation of Spain over England. Spain has won tough teams better than England. However, It's a no-no for England to win. I am saying Congrats to Spain in advance

First, let me state that I do not share your opinion of how Spain is going to simply win the Euro trophy, while England stands no chance. Although the Spanish side can boast of having many exceptional players and a good record, the English team also has a great potential and a good start-up lineup. It’s far from over and both sides have their advantages and disadvantages; England for example has had some weaknesses but they can still turn it around.

England has always recorded good performances particularly in major tournaments and has equally strong supporters behind the team. Furthermore, the team has been on the training, trying to work extra hard in the way they will come up with the right strategies and the tactics that are fit for the match hence stand a very good chance of reducing the chances of the other team that is considered strong.

One has to bear in mind that in football anything can turn up and that games are lost as well as won through underestimations. I think it is premature to congratulate Spain and as far as I’m concerned let the teams go out to the field to decide the winner.

It did not take me unawares, I have earlier predicted that England will get to the finals even when they were struggling. It is after I watch the match between England and Slovenia if I am not mistaken that I know that England will go to the finals. They played good football even if they struggled to qualify. I didn't see England playing rubbish as people criticised them earlier. Although I heard that Southgate was playing Arnold in the midfield where Bellingham was supposed to play. Maybe after he corrected that formation, England started playing well. After my favourites, (Germany and Portugal) were eliminated, the next country I had supported is England and congratulations to them that they made it to the finals.

Honestly, I can't really say that England deserved to be in the finals with a game like that, hell they had many gamesl iek that when they won at the last second, Jude did that too. However, Netherlands didn't look like they deserved it neither, felt like they were lacking a lot too. This was just the type of game where both of the teams should have been eliminated if that was a possibility lol. They came from weaker side, teams like France and Germany would have defeated both these teams with ease. In the end, England is the one that will be going to finals, and I am %99 sure that Spain will destroy them anyway.

I will be so happy if Spain lift the trophy because they play tougher matches than England and even their pattern of playing is far much better than England, but football is about luck. England has had a narrow escape to qualify, so we don't know if that miracle will still happen in the final because this is England's second time qualifying to the euro final. I know they will also try and do anything possible to lift the euro 2024 trophy.

Perhaps, it will be unfair to say that only luck have brought England this far into the finals, but then maybe they just don't play the football we all would have loved in terms of being entertaining and whatnot, but they sure have been able to grind out favorable results, even from the most unfortunate circumstances. That alone should count for the most right now, I guess.

The outright odds for the Euro 2024 are in and are as follows:
Spain: x1.65
England: x2.20
So pretty much as expected. As I said before, I don't think England is as strong of a team as Germany or France, so I agree with Spain being the favourite, but England is not without a chance. They'll have this extra motivation from being an underdog and more pressure will be on Spaniards.

Considering how good Spain has been right from the beginning of this league I can imagine the kind of pressure England will be on the finals because already they have shown so much weakness on this season by playing very poor, perhaps in as much as I don't believe so much on luck but in the case of England is only luck they even managed to qualify from there group stage till the very point they are now.

However I believe that Spain will be rejoicing were they are now because it has become obvious that at the end they would be victorious because England is nothing compare to so many countries they have won especially France, so actually if England played with the pattern they use on there match against Netherlands they would be surprised to see the number of goals Spain will actually score them.

Also in my opinion the favorite remains Spain, the only team that has shown real continuity in its game.
Apart from the match against Italy which showed a sort of weakness against very defensive teams, in practice we discovered that his attack is not effective if well controlled.
In fact, with Italy he only scored an own goal.
For the rest, Spain deserves to win.

Besides Italy, I'm also a bit disappointed that Portugal is eliminated by France. Portugal has played quite well but they were defeated in penalty shootout. Portugal is one of the teams that is favored to be the champion in this Euro. And German also left the competition quite early, but Spain deserves to beat them. Because Spain defeated big teams, I also support Spain in the final round.
Here is my opinion, until the match against Spain, France played really badly, they played like crap.  In fact, he didnt deserve to go to the semi-finals.  With Spain I saw a different France, motivated, bad at the right level.  In fact I really liked the match, France Spain.  I complimented them both and saw a beautiful France.

I also think the same about who will ultimately be the champion at Euro this time. And yes, my predictions might also be more inclined to choose Spain as champions this season. England still look unconvincing even though they continue to have good luck at this Euro. but I have to admit that in the match against the Netherlands we saw England play a little better than usual.

Looking at the game they showed during this competition, I would also say the same thing that Spain deserved to win. However, the problem is that the result of the match is not seen from the game they have shown so far, it is the match they will play that will determine everything.

England was considered a team that had a bad game, even from the start. However, they managed to emerge victorious in the semifinals and will now face Spain in the final. So they could win in the final match later.

Spain was the most concrete so far, i.e. they showed the most football. It would be deserved if they win.
England calculated too much and played cautiously, almost with minimal risk. As far as I've seen them, only the first half against the Netherlands they played excellently (while they were chasing the result)

But there is one game left and anything can happen there. Last time, they England were much better than Italy and perhaps deserved to win the championship, but Italy played smarter. Maybe England is just playing smarter now, ignoring the beauty of the game and criticism, but I guess that's a matter of experience.

I think still remain the tactically better team, England might be the better side mentally due to how many times they've had to come from behind to win their game, but should Spain be allowed to get the first goal here, Spain seemed to have a very effective game management approach which have been tested in all of their games, but so as England have been too on the other side of bouncing back. It's going to be a game of great tactical approach.

I would say the gap between them is even bigger, we are talking about a team who got here very easily, beating much harder teams versus a team that had very tough times against much weaker teams and still got here with very last minute goals. England doesn't look like anything close to 2.20 or there about, I would say 3.40 or so is more likely. The problem here is that I think Spain will win, and we are given a bigger odd so I am happy with that, but it also makes it harder to make a decision because if England is offered this, then I feel like there is a chance, and I may want to gamble that too, if it was much higher, I wouldn't have considered it.

more than the game, I didn't watch a single match of this European championship, I looked at the statistics
without watching the game
they had a clear path of play with points of perfection if we want in their path
the only match that gave me doubts against Italy, given that they scored 0 goals (1 own goal)
otherwise perfect

The young Yamal will always make his country proud and Spain have very sharp strikers that can change the game at any moment to favor them. We say how Yamal did that against France and I don't think that England will be left out to receive a shock from Spain. England have quality players and if Southgate can use these players rightly then it will be a difficult match for Spain to win.

I believe regardless of Southgate's tactic approach, it's still going to be a really tough and cagey game, because there is a lot on the line, and the margin for error is at the slightest. And I really don't see Southgate as coach that would deploy a different set of players than what he's gone with all tournament long, neither do I expect a different tactical approach from him, maybe the only changes I can expect is that he could opt for 2 CDMs so as to combat the Spanish duo of Rodri and Fabian Ruiz.

It's not easy because now Southgate's strategy is better, maybe we thought it was too bad before, but with the tactics used, his team advanced to the final to meet the tough Spain.
The line up will probably not differ much from the formation in the semifinals, for me Mainoo will still start he is quite good as a midfielder, as we know Southgate always puts in reserve players in the second half to make an effort to reshuffle their attack.

Wow, Spain, amazing match. Congrats Spain, go to FINAL
As usual, I saw the summary and not the match, but this one seems to have been full of emotions.
I must say that France surprised me, I didn't think she had woken up, she woke up at the right time apparently.
I knew that Spain would win as it was decidedly stronger in terms of personnel than a tired France.
Actually, both of them competed very optimally, yes, they did very well. Each guard is quite strict and the attacks are very efficient. This shows that both teams have that quality. They are quite even. It's just that Spain was really able to take advantage of these few opportunities to score goals, yes, from the 2 shots on their target, they were able to make it a goal. And France was no longer able to pursue this because Spain was increasingly tightening its guard.

The young Yamal will always make his country proud and Spain have very sharp strikers that can change the game at any moment to favor them. We say how Yamal did that against France and I don't think that England will be left out to receive a shock from Spain. England have quality players and if Southgate can use these players rightly then it will be a difficult match for Spain to win.
exactly, Yamal is very shining in this Euro 2024. And this makes his role at the Euro really high. Spain also has other undoubted star players in football. So, between the Spain vs England final, it will be very difficult to determine again. Yamal vs Bellingham, the icon of the giants in La Liga, certainly also contains quite tight personal rivalries. Not to mention having Harry Kane in it, ah, this will definitely be very high tension and tight for the Euro 2024 final. They will definitely draw, it's just a matter of how they can take advantage of the slightest opportunity to score more goals.

Lamine Yamal most definitely have one or two awards waiting for him already regardless of how the match ends, I think he likely would be named the Young Player of the tournament, Arda Guler is another good contender but Yamal had a better tournament and influence overall, and his goal against France has also been considered one of the goals of the tournament. I already ruled out Bellingham out for young player of the tournament, he's not been as influential as Yamal has been, but maybe a monster performance in the final could help his case. I just strongly doubt there is a better candidate than Yamal for young player of the tournament.

England will be more predictable than Spain will be because Garreth Southgate cannot afford to be unpredictable at this moment, he struggled to get the right selection from the start of this competition, England have struggled their way here.

I agree with you, but I really liked the way England played in the last 10 minutes of the match , in fact it was because of the way they played that they got the winning goal, if they decide to continue playing with the same intensity against Spain, I think they will overwhelm that team, because they won't have time to balance themselves out or form a good defence, for me what Fodden, Bellingham and Kane have done is line up to have the best attack in the world and not give Spain any space to think.

There are many problems in play of England, I dont think they tried to play smarter, they had more luck and more help from corrupt German referee Zwayer when he gave them penalty in last match.  ;D

They'll have this extra motivation from being an underdog and more pressure will be on Spaniards.
I think they are already used to being the favorites that they don't care about the expectations anymore. Spain moves the ball so well that the game looks so easy for them. They will just let the opponent chase and then pounce.

It's more likely that England will feel the pressure of proving themselves that they deserve to play in the Finals.

Their main rival is themselves, the coach is also a fundamental part of the team and although sometimes the changes do not go very well, he achieves the results.

Spain is a candidate to win Euro 2024, or any event.   8)

Holland 2-0ENG0
Well, supported. Spain is the main candidate for the Euro trophy. England can compete with them because the evidence is quite clear in the formation of Spain over England. Spain has won tough teams better than England. However, It's a no-no for England to win. I am saying Congrats to Spain in advance

First, let me state that I do not share your opinion of how Spain is going to simply win the Euro trophy, while England stands no chance. Although the Spanish side can boast of having many exceptional players and a good record, the English team also has a great potential and a good start-up lineup. It’s far from over and both sides have their advantages and disadvantages; England for example has had some weaknesses but they can still turn it around.

England has always recorded good performances particularly in major tournaments and has equally strong supporters behind the team. Furthermore, the team has been on the training, trying to work extra hard in the way they will come up with the right strategies and the tactics that are fit for the match hence stand a very good chance of reducing the chances of the other team that is considered strong.

One has to bear in mind that in football anything can turn up and that games are lost as well as won through underestimations. I think it is premature to congratulate Spain and as far as I’m concerned let the teams go out to the field to decide the winner.
In a nutshell, let the best team win. I believe both teams will be working on their weakness, to build a stronger team than they were before so that they will win not lose with a favorable game plan that will disorganize the formation of their opponent.

However, both teams are found worthy of lifting the Euro trophy. The dice have been thrown. Let the lucky and most prepared team win

Yes, Southgate has been England's football manager since 2016. He also has a lot of experience as a football manager. And because of his achievements at the Euro this time, England asked him to stay as England football manager for the World Cup by FA. Yes, indeed, that 53-year-old manager is currently being widely discussed because of his achievements this time in reaching the Euro 2024 Final. So, with his experience so far, many parties are considering that England is the same as Southgate and the top players in the team will win .

However, on the other hand, Spain is also like that. There is a lot of talent at the club, which is very solid and is currently on fire. Their manager, Luis de la Fuente, is also a professional manager who previously played as a left-back. and has been Spain Manager since last year.

So, won't this be much more competitive in the future? Even though the favorite here or the favorite to win is Spain.

I think the same too, I couldn't say which team is better prepared, because for me England has surprised us, now they are in the finals when many people didn't believe in this team, certain things need to be corrected, maybe the midfield needs to be a little more focused on attacking, and in Spain the defensive line is solid but I think they fail a lot in midfield, apart from their forwards it seems incredible to me, but they leave eggs where the English can easily enter, and that's something that can't happen, for that you have to be running a lot and that's what makes a footballer a footballer.

While Spain are used to being the favorites, England have also been the favorite for almost all their match so far if not all, the only difference is that Spain have been able to live up to that expectation comfortably while England been struggling to find their feet, it's not as though they've not got the player, but tactics have been their major hurdle. To be very honest, England also really do have the better squad depth of the two teams but Spain have just been more organized and have better chemistry.

I think without malice that England is not up to the level of Spain, Spain from the statistics I have seen is much stronger.
I haven't seen any match so far but I think I will watch the final, in my opinion it will be interesting given that they both play at a good level.
I hope it's fun.

Talking about English games will be very interesting to discuss. Because even though the English game was boring, this game brought them to the final round. Although many people think that every victory achieved by England was due to luck. but I think apart from luck of course they also have other things that other teams don't have. That is, they can play patiently and maintain their mentality until the final minutes of the match. So many of the matches that England won were because of goals in the last minute or in the minute of added time. Because they never seem to let their guard down even when the match is almost over. This is the greater value of the English national team apart from the depth of their squad. As for Spain's advantages, I think we can all see them clearly. And yes, it is natural that the majority expect them to become champions. because they really have the appropriate quality of play if they have to win the Euros this time. but in the Finals even strong teams will be more careful and will not be as aggressive as usual. So the final match can sometimes be quite boring when all the teams decide to play carefully. but the final match could also be a very heated match if both teams decide to play attacking from the start.

Looking at the game they showed during this competition, I would also say the same thing that Spain deserved to win. However, the problem is that the result of the match is not seen from the game they have shown so far, it is the match they will play that will determine everything.

England was considered a team that had a bad game, even from the start. However, they managed to emerge victorious in the semifinals and will now face Spain in the final. So they could win in the final match later.

I think still remain the tactically better team, England might be the better side mentally due to how many times they've had to come from behind to win their game, but should Spain be allowed to get the first goal here, Spain seemed to have a very effective game management approach which have been tested in all of their games, but so as England have been too on the other side of bouncing back. It's going to be a game of great tactical approach.
Agree, maybe in this case England is more superior because their mentality is better if they see how they got up from a left behind position. For example, in the last semifinal match, they succeeded in turning things around after they were 1 goal behind.

This is what Spain must be wary of, even though they can take the lead first, they must still be careful because England can equalize and even turn things around like they did to the Netherlands in the semifinals.

Spain scoring 2 goals or over 1.5 in total @2.75.

I think they will score at least one in the first half and rattle the other team's play style. England will start to get aggressive in the second half which opens them to a fast counter-attack and then concede another goal.

And there is one more thing you need to know about the English national team, because the English squad has more experienced players in major competitions. So there is no doubt about their mentality. and in the final it actually requires strong mental strength for a squad and England should already have it because they even went to the final at the last Euro even though they failed at that time. Meanwhile, Spain, with its young players, may still have doubts regarding their mentality. It's just that in terms of quality of play and teamwork, we see that Spain is indeed better.

You're right bro. Because basically in the final match, even the team that is not the favorite can cause a big surprise and cause the favorite team to lose. Surprises are the things that happen most often in final matches. And the results are always 50:50 as usual. It's just that the level of difficulty to predict or analyze it becomes much more difficult to do.

I just hope that the finals will be very interesting and worth the hype because there's a potential for both teams to try to play safe and not play enough attacking football for the game to be entertaining.

It may end up being a game that will be won by just a goal, even though both teams are likely to score.

That makes two of us actually, I really do hope it won't be another boring final with England being involve, I however, I do expect an interesting encounter from Spain, as every of their match again top teams like Croatia, Italy, and France have all been a very good watch, so I don't expect anything short of that same quality, but in reality their are usually different approaches to final from teams, maybe if we get an early goal that will open things up a bit better.

The line up will probably not differ much from the formation in the semifinals, for me Mainoo will still start he is quite good as a midfielder, as we know Southgate always puts in reserve players in the second half to make an effort to reshuffle their attack.
The formation that the England coach used in the semifinals was very good and effective against the Netherlands. If he decides to use the same formation again in the finals, it may work again for him but Spain will be very aware of this formation, and will have this formation and team selection in mind while they train and prepare for that game. England will be more predictable than Spain will be because Garreth Southgate cannot afford to be unpredictable at this moment, he struggled to get the right selection from the start of this competition, England have struggled their way here.
Certainly Spain will be aware of England's formation which is completely unchanged only Southgate will always change in the middle of the match by bringing in some players it is obviously effective like against the Netherlands, but of course Spain will be better in my own opinion because in terms of previous matches the Spanish formation there is no doubt at all they won all the matches.

I'm not worrying about that at all. Spain is the favourite and they know very well that the best way for them to win the whole thing is to win the game in the normal time. Allowing it to go to overtime or penalties would equalise chances and would work better for England.
England is also not the type of team that would focus only on defence, so I expect both to be actively looking to score.

exactly, Yamal is very shining in this Euro 2024. And this makes his role at the Euro really high.
Lamine Yamal most definitely have one or two awards waiting for him already regardless of how the match ends, I think he likely would be named the Young Player of the tournament, Arda Guler is another good contender but Yamal had a better tournament and influence overall, and his goal against France has also been considered one of the goals of the tournament. I already ruled out Bellingham out for young player of the tournament, he's not been as influential as Yamal has been, but maybe a monster performance in the final could help his case. I just strongly doubt there is a better candidate than Yamal for young player of the tournament.     
Yes, because the case here at the Euros is how a player can have an extraordinary influence on his club. Here, Lamine Yamal was the deciding player for Spain to qualify for the final round and this certainly had an extraordinary influence. Many agents are also sure to look at this player as one of the ones who really excelled at the Euros. Moreover, if Spain can finally win the Euro 2024 trophy and Lamine Yamal returns to provide his best contribution, then this will make him shine even more and be the most influential at this Euro. Yes, this condition is quite different from Bellingham or Harry Kane. Because, even though they are really awesome when they compete at the club, at this Euro, their performance is not as shining and as excellent as what Lamine Yamal has achieved.

Morata might be firing on all cylinder in the Euro 2024 so far, but the Spanish side can't afford to not have him for the final, he's a goal poacher and couldn't spark to life just within a game and save the day, but as for Pedri, I don't think Spain have missed him much or significantly because Dani Olmo have slotted right into and filled that spot properly even more than what we could have anticipated from Pedri, Olmo seemed to have better sight on goal compared to Pedri while might still be the better option technically and in terms of chance created and creating spaces and links between defense an attack. Spain will have all the first choice defenders back for the final including Carvajal so, Navas services might not be needed after all.

There will be other replacement that will do the playing right. Carvajal did not play against France and they won the game.

Spain have a richly talented team; they can surely do without Morata and find another replacement. England also has a rich team; they can manage team rotations properly.

Without some regular first-team players for Spain, it is still going to be Spain playing because they have players who can serve as replacements in almost all roles.

I agree that Spain scoring 2 goals seems like a good bet, plus the return isn't that bad neither. I get that this is the finals and in most cases people do not really bet on 2 goals from a team, why? Because there is a chance that both teams could defend very well, trying not to concede any goal more than they try to score. And to be fair England does play like that, they usually play as defensive as it gets, but we are talking about Spain here, and Spain ahs been scoring goals like cotton candy, so I think they have a possibility of this. If they can actually do that, then I would say that it is going to be very fine.

Of course for Spain, they do have multiple replacements for Morata within their squad list, they have the likes of Oyarzabal who has been the direct replacement for Morata in a couple of matches already and there is also the highly experienced likes of Ayoze Perez and Joselu on the bench too, but Morata is a different striker from these other names mentioned, and is more instinctive in my honest opinion, he knows perfectly how to move without the ball into open spaces and also a bigger threat to teams that keeps a highline and offside traps like England.

Statistically, of course, Spain is the most favored and has the most potential to win the title at this Euro. But talking about the luck factor and player mentality, I'm starting to think England has an advantage in that regard. in the final all things are needed. ability, teamwork, luck and player mentality. So things become more difficult to predict. because even though Spain continues to achieve good results. But England have also surprised us because they managed to get to the final albeit in a quite unique way.

I'm not at all surprised that Spain is in the final, but I am that England is there, given that they didn't show good football (at least in the first matches). They were very lucky in the match against Slovakia, but the goals in the last seconds are obviously something that will be remembered in this championship.

Given that this is the final and the stakes are high, we will probably see a match in which the Spain will control the game more, and the English will try something from the counterattack. The general opinion is that Spain is the favorite, but anything is possible in the final match.

So there is no doubt about their mentality. and in the final it actually requires strong mental strength for a squad and England should already have it because they even went to the final at the last Euro even though they failed at that time. Meanwhile, Spain, with its young players, may still have doubts regarding their mentality. It's just that in terms of quality of play and teamwork, we see that Spain is indeed better.
I see there are advantages and disadvantages to the two teams that will play in this final match. However, in terms of the game, I can say that Spain can be more promising, the problem is that it doesn't guarantee they will be able to win.

Meanwhile, England's advantage lies in the mentality we are discussing here. Will that mentality help them a lot or will it be a better game from Spain that can win this match.

I'm not at all surprised that Spain is in the final, but I am that England is there, given that they didn't show good football (at least in the first matches). They were very lucky in the match against Slovakia, but the goals in the last seconds are obviously something that will be remembered in this championship.

Given that this is the final and the stakes are high, we will probably see a match in which the Spain will control the game more, and the English will try something from the counterattack. The general opinion is that Spain is the favorite, but anything is possible in the final match.

I agree the stakes are high and anything could happen, England best shot would come for their counterattacking style, but Spain generally don't leave the their back line overly committed but maybe if England can neutralize the Rodri coverage over that backline they can manage to get Spain defense playing out of shape and position more often than not, however Southgate would sure also need players that are counter attack aggressive, perhaps dropping Foden for Cole Palmer in this case wouldn't be a bad idea, or playing with 2 centre forwards Watkins and Harry Kane upfront to keep the Spain backline very disrupted.

Spain have the same winning mentality as England so will be pushing as hard as England will be pushing to be sure that they do not lose that game because of players like young Nico Williams and Yamine Lamal who are full of energy and playing with full intent. The competition has been overrun by the exploits of young players, and for which team will win the competition, will depend on the intent of the young players in the team, for England to win will depend on how young players in the team that can defend and not lose their advantage in midfield, for some reason I trust Spain more.

I didn't place any bet on the match yet, but maybe I will later tomorrow, however If I'd be doing so, you can be rest assured that it will be on Spain to win simply because it's easier to trust them coming from how they've handle every match from the group stage, they still have an 100% record in this tournament, and they were the only team that won all 3 matches in the group stage. They've also faced more and eliminated tougher opponents than England have.

One of the best young players of Spain Lamine Yamal turned 17 today, and his birthday wish is to win final against England and celebrate with his mates.
Another battle will be between Harry Kane and Dani Olmo, both of them scored 3 goals in EURO competition and they will have a chance to win the golden boot.
Lamine Yamal must be expecting a win in the EUOR 2024 final that would be the most beautiful gift of his life at the age of 17 now winning the competition in his national team for the first time, maybe he can make a surprise again scoring a goal.

Dani Olmo is always a winner for Spain, Harry Kane we know he always scores easily for England it will be a tough competition for the golden boot.

Predict Harry Kane to score. ;D

This will be a very extraordinary achievement for this young player. Yes, because this time, he is one of the brightest at Euro 2024, with his achievements, his value will also increase significantly.

But despite all that, Lamine Yamal, the entire team from Spain, is certainly quite confident that they will win, based on the experience, opportunity and also the abilities of the entire team. However, the thing that must be paid attention to is that the opposing party is not an opponent who can be underestimated. Because, England may indeed have far less experience in the final, but we also know that in the team's squad there are many top players who strengthen each line. S, this will always be a tough final that allows all predictions to be true or false in an instant.

The fact is that he is 17 years old (and only turned 17 now) and already became either the best or one of the best Spanish players in the world, and one of the most crucial parts of Barcelonas future, shows you that we are about to watch something significant. We could be wrong, maybe he will become not that great in the future, maybe some things will change and he will become a mediocre player, but I highly doubt it. I think what we will probably see will just be an awesome player who will go on to do awesome stuff. I am not expecting him to be like Ronaldo or Messi, but he is definitely showing proof that he is at least Mbappe or Haaland levels.

What the amazing performed with Spain national teams have won 6 of 6 matches all winning all matches since phase group until reach final round, its impressive and the only one team can make this record in Euro participants after Spain unbeaten all matches in Euro 2024. No doubt to put Spain national team as strong candidate for winning Euro 2024 and the final match they will get back Dani Carvajal after absent on the semifinal match due red card suspended.
England national team although keep unbeaten since group round but they have being draw 3 of 6 matches and its not really impressive achievement for the national teams success reach the final round.

Vote your favorite winning team for Euro 2024
Spain or England?
Statistically, of course, Spain is the most favored and has the most potential to win the title at this Euro. But talking about the luck factor and player mentality, I'm starting to think England has an advantage in that regard. in the final all things are needed. ability, teamwork, luck and player mentality. So things become more difficult to predict. because even though Spain continues to achieve good results. But England have also surprised us because they managed to get to the final albeit in a quite unique way.

Although England have reached the finals with very good results this season. Final matches are always very difficult to predict. Spain are undoubtedly a good team and their young player Lamine Yamal is in great form. All in all, the final match of Euro will be very exciting. I am eagerly waiting to watch this match. Both Spain and England qualified to win the Euro Cup. Now we have to see who can take over this year's Eurocup.

It is difficult to predict who will win between the two teams in this final.

England narrowly escapes and advances to the final, but in my opinion that still doesn't mean that Spain will win the trophy.
Because England's performance in this Euro reminds me of how Portugal played in the Euro 2016. They qualified in the group stage as best loser and made it to the final, and also defeated France, who was in better shape right from the group stage, exactly as Spain did now.
So in my opinion, predicting today's match will be difficult. I know England will want to do all possible to take the trophy, because being in the final is not easy.

Today is the day we've been waiting for, and I wish Spain luck.

And today's match will be quite difficult to predict because Spain has been good from the start.

You seem to have a good understanding of the game and strategy, and if you don't do anything in football, maybe you could try ;)

I hope that both coaches will make the best strategies and that we will not again have controversial decisions that will direct the game in someone's favor. A lot of things in this championship are questionable, even VAR didn't even try to help in some situations and a lot of referees should be put under a magnifying glass because they really refereed very badly.

May the better team win tonight.

Interested the final match will  England become the winner of Euro 2024 after long term waiting for or Spain with their last winning on Euro 2012 become the winner after waiting more than ten years ago. Based on respond its difficult for predicting who will be the winner but I believe with both teams will show us interested final match.

Yes, we see several young players in the two teams that will compete. Young players are players who are talked about a lot and they can also perform well with each country. This is the future for the country having such young players.

Now is an era where many young players are born, and what is more interesting is where they also get enough trust from a coach so that they get a lot of playing minutes.

This is the final round, which is why there is so much doubt on who to bet on. The route to the final is difficult, despite the fact that England did not perform well as Spain. And what will make the match tougher for Spain is that England has a story to change about not having a chance to lift the Euro Cup.

The final match will be always difficult to predict. But sure, we must enjoy the match because it is an ideal final. Both teams are strong, England and Spain have their best players in every line. England has many top players, their game is difficult to analyze. But Spain has also many interesting young players, their performance is amazing during this competition. Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Dani Olmo are the most interesting players in Spain team. Considering the performance of the players, I think Spain should have a bigger chance to win the final match.

Spain have beautiful games and unbeaten all matches from group stage until success reach the final, England have impressive achievement not matter with how many fans doubt with Southgate tactician too boring but he was success as the first national team manager bring his team reach the final back to back.
England have good mentality when conceded early and several matches success scoring the winning goals on late minutes, its warning for Spain don't loss focus against England because they have the mentality winning such as did by Real Madrid always win on late minutes.

Both teams have not yet shown their game because in the early minutes they are still looking for the form of play that will be implemented. The first minutes are very vulnerable minutes, because their concentration is not yet in a very good condition, so they have to be careful.

Spain are slightly the better team after the first 10 minutes of the match but England also have defended very well and looked to have settled into game now, the tempo of the is still being dictated by Spain as one would expect them to, since they have control of the midfield right now.

The first half of the most anticipated match is over with no score yet from both sides "Spain vs England". Waiting for the second half to start up soon, but in the first half, Spain dominated it all with a fantastic performance of 69%, with a total number of 5 shots, while England had possession of the match with 31% with 3 shots.

That being said, let's just see what the second half would be like with the tactics both coaches would implement to have a winning goal in the match.

The next 45 minutes would be full of lots of beautiful surprises.

Honestly, looking at Palmer's contribution so far to the ENgland team during the Euros, he always makes a very significant contribution, even though he is only a supporting player. However, when he joined the squad, there were quite significant changes in the team. And his performance as an attacking midfielder was very good. And this time he was England's only goal scorer, with Bellingham as his assist. I also wonder why Palmer wasn't made into the main squad and chose to always be a substitute player, right? You're right, he should be able to really shine, like Lamine Yamal who was given a very full fourth from the team.

Anyway, CONGRATUTALIONS TO SPAIN
Wow, as predicted mostly, Spain finally can beat England in this final Euro 2024.

Spain is the winner of Euros 2024 and this makes Spain the first country ever to win Euros four times. Oyarzabal who came in the second half to replace Morata was the player that made the difference with a superb finish straight inside the goal post after he received a pass from Cucurella inside England box. The goal was score on the 87th minutes leaving England with no choice than to accept defeat.

Spain 2 : 1 England

Congrats to Spain, finally they did it again for 5x.
This time, a very complicated and tight match really took place. Both Spain and England have demonstrated their competence very optimally. In the first half, it was really difficult to predict, various groans were ignored by both of them, they even had difficulty getting into the opponent's back line. However, in fact, Spain is superior compared to England, but this is not something that is easy.

Until the end of the second half, the match became even more exciting when Spain Ebrasil scored first through a kick from their midfielder, Nico Williams and an assist from Lamine Yamal. This is an amazing combination of attacks between the two of them, again, L. Yamal did it very well at such a young age.

And actually, what was most surprising was that on England's side, Palmer, who had just been brought on in the 70th minute, was immediately able to score a goal in the 73rd minute and was able to equalize, with an assist from Bellingham. You're right, Palmer is a fantastic player who doesn't get enough game time, which is quite a shame.

Until finally, Spain ended the match with a score of 2 - 1 to win after the second goal scored by Oyarzabal.

Spain deserves to win Euro 2024, they are the most consistent team and very productive in scoring goals. They also use many young players and it is very effective to improve the performance of the team. Yamal, Olmo, Williams, and Pedri have played amazing in Euro 2024. These players will ensure Spain to have a very bright future. Winning this Euro 2024, proves that they are very talented players and have winning mentality.

By the way, during the match. Spain very dominated both in the number of shot attempts and the ball possessions. NO doubt that Spain could beat England, it even could be more than 2 goals if Spain players could have a better shot accuracy.  ;)

Congrats Spain!!

The 2024 European champion is Spain. The game was fantastic because both sides played well, but Spain applied pressure to England right from the start by sticking to their game plan. I was anxious that England would win on a penalty kick after Cole Palmer's equalizing goal, rather than that Spain's efforts would have been in in vain.

Your bet is interesting, I must say it has potential and could even make sense.  I made a solid bet in favor of Spain but I could make another one which is why I was looking for guidance from those who had made some.  Thanks for telling me.
If you took this bet, then congrats to you as well.

I have no personal favorite to win in the Finals but I'm glad that the game turned out pretty good and that it wasn't decided by a penalty shootout. I think this entertained even the fans that were disappointed about different team's performance during the elimination.

It is true that Spain played very well. I was optimistic that Spain would take home the title this year. But England's performance disappointed me a lot. Such a performance was not expected from them. They were very disappointing in the first half. France played better than England in this year's Euros, yet they were eliminated from the tournament against Spain. You can say England wouldn't have made it to the final if they didn't play well, I'd say they didn't play a strong opponent.

Of course whoever placed his bet on Spain must make profit because Spain from onset was far better than England in their matches. However, I have always being angry with Southgate for underestimating Cole Palmer and not using him in the beginning of the competition because I knew that Palmer is hot since only him single handedly took Chelsea to finish 6th on the table. Look at his superb equalizing goal yesterday few minutes after he stepped into the field. It was an interesting match and Spain deserves the winner.

Thats the thing about this game, England defends very well, and normally makes other teams commit a mistake, that's their cache, whereas Spain was superb on passing, as always been, and that's how they kept on doing much better. I feel like Spain played as well as they could, 2 goals on a finals against England, what more do we want from them?

Without a doubt, Spain gave a demonstration of the power they have as a team. It must also be noted that they have a great, very young player who represents that Spanish football is here to stay, and that is Yamal, who is already 17 years old and has won a Euro Cup. Congratulations to Spain. I can't say anything bad about England, many doubted what they could do, however, the things they can be capable of achieving now that they have a very good team formation is to take full advantage of it. They can be better, they just have to take advantage of all the potential they have and Correct their mistakes.

Spain were deserving winners from the very onset of the group stages they've been locked in, they actually won all their 7 matches and only needed extra time against just one opponents, having played the likes of the defending champions Italy and Croatia in the group stage, and they facing France later on too, England have had one lucky too many, it was bound to happen at some point, and it did yesterday, they could have been deservedly eliminated way before the final, but they rode on their horse of lucky all the way, and still didn't make the right adjustment to the squad to be more competitive against a better side, they actually did try better yesterday than in some of the games they'd won even when their opponents had majority of the chances at goal.

England was best team to turn results in their favor during this EURO competition, I even placed a bet on them to win in this style.
After they score for 1-1 I thought they could score another goal for win but Spain was to strong for them.
They had another chance for 2-2 in last moments of the match but Spain defender prevented the goal with his head.

Spain deserved the win as they did play better with classic control and precision.
The best football team has won the EURO Cup, Thoroughly deserved. Spain has won 7 out of 7 in the competition and the most goals by one team in a Euro Cup,  No one deserves it better.
And Spain gave us the most beautiful games in this tournament, the football won.

The 2024 European champion is Spain. The game was fantastic because both sides played well, but Spain applied pressure to England right from the start by sticking to their game plan. I was anxious that England would win on a penalty kick after Cole Palmer's equalizing goal, rather than that Spain's efforts would have been in in vain.

The outcome of the match was actually expected because Spain is a club that shouldn't be underestimated because they have a very good players like Yamal and ao many other players who has greatly made an impact on the Spanish club, though England on the other hand is a very good team but there squad this season is very weak compare to there other season.

However just like you before the season started I was thinking England will actually win the league because they have been always favoured on the Euro but it was quite unfortunate on there performance this season, however with the kind of young star Spain has I'm very confident that they would actually go very far on the would cup because they have proven themselve worthy.

I would like to say at the beginning that the Eurocup is not a league. It is an international tournament organized by European football teams. Club level play is called league.

In the Spain vs England match, Spain performed really well, which was expected by their supporters. England on the other hand disappointed their supporters. They not only lost the match but also did not perform well. You can say a good performance would have won the match. No, you can't always win a match by performing well, sometimes luck doesn't help you so you have to lose the match even after performing well. However, we will expect England to right their wrongs and come back stronger.

Spain made this Euro a quite interesting competition for them. because they have never lost in this Euro competition. and the title they won was something that had been predicted by many people even here. England they also fought well, especially in the second half after Palmer entered the field and scored a goal. What was very unfortunate was that Kane was substituted too early but yeah it was an extraordinary final match. England also played beyond my expectations. even if they lose.

Anyway, CONGRATUTALIONS TO SPAIN
Wow, as predicted mostly, Spain finally can beat England in this final Euro 2024.

Spain vs England
    2     -     1


full time result
Spain deserves to win Euro 2024, they are the most consistent team and very productive in scoring goals. They also use many young players and it is very effective to improve the performance of the team. Yamal, Olmo, Williams, and Pedri have played amazing in Euro 2024. These players will ensure Spain to have a very bright future. Winning this Euro 2024, proves that they are very talented players and have winning mentality.
Yapp, They really deserved this victory, on the other hand England also did well, but Spain was better.
Yes, you are right, Spain has consistently lost from the group stage, and Spain is a team that has never lost since the group stage. They can always compete optimally so that their opponents are quite overwhelmed by the Spanish match. Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams are part of key players t who really shine at Euro 2024, and their contribution is huge. Oh yes, if Nico Williams really goes to Barcelona and becomes Yamal's partner, that would be a really good collaboration between the two of them.

Bookies must be upset with such a result of course, because most of us did expected Spain to win and majority wagered on Spain, which means that bookies had to pay up a lot of money. In the end, let the people have their lucky wins here and there sometimes as well, we are dealing with a lot of many bad results in so many different cases and sportsbooks are usually making a profit anyway, just this one win wouldn't hurt them. Spain showed the world that they are really building a good quality team again, and their manager knows the players very well, trusting a 17 year old kid like that? Its really big thing.

Actually like I mentioned earlier with the current performance of Spain I think they would possibly win the upcoming world Cup because I have not really seen any club that can easily beat them in terms of performance, however if Spain eventually wins the upcoming world Cup is going to be something else considering how happy the country is after beating England.

However I saw on the social media that the king of Spain host them in his palace to celebrate with them, actually I can imagine how impressed he must have been on the players, and it was funny the way he reacted when he was hugging the players on the dressing room and learned that Yamal was 16 years old because he never imagine someone with that age to have the kind of performance he has.

Lamine Yamal will be the most happiest because the the final day was his birthday that will turn him 17 and they won the Euros, so it is a double celebration for him and the national team. Perhaps, you should not conclude that Spain will be able to win the next world cup which is in two years because that is a very long time for other countries to improve the performance of their team in preparation for the world cup. It was just Las year that Argentina won the world cup and Spain was not as strong as this. Within a short period of time a team can be strengthen due to their newly discovered players. Xavi did a great job to promote Yamal to the senior team of Barcelona.

England was so close to finally winning EURO this time, but they can prepare better for next EURO 2028.
Host nations are United Kingdom and Ireland, so England doesn't have to worry about qualifications.
They also have a chance to win something in World Cup 2026 but that is not going to be an easy task.

So close but it's not enough. Spain is playing well, The Champion plays like a champion
England has probably regressed after Euro 2020 because it took a penalty shootout to determine the final winner. This year, the team couldn't even hold Spain to extra time. So many great players but such crap performances
England broke the record of 59 times no European Champion, a Record-breaking loser.

And it looks like England have just lost their coach, Southgate. I hope England can find a new, better coach who can make this team much better than it is now. because it is quite unfortunate to see the depth of the England squad which looks quite strong but they cannot utilize it well. Well, England almost won the title at the Euros but they had to admit defeat to Spain, who looked better from the start.

England had to experience failure for the umpteenth time at the Euros, they failed to win when they were one step away from winning. However, most people have predicted this based on their performance at the Euros this time.

It was natural for England to decide to part ways with their coach, because they were definitely evaluating what England could show. I don't think the achievement of being in the final is a consideration, because they have to judge their entire performance.

There are other very strong teams in the world, like Argentina who won the Copa America.  I dont think Spain is strong enough to win the world cup, he can certainly go very far and maybe play for it.  Italy, on the other hand, I know for sure will go very badly.

For the World Cup, it may be a little different where some senior players retire after the EURO and Copa America tournaments are over, so it could be that young players will dominate more, so not only Spain and Argentina, other teams will be strong candidates.
I am not sure Italy can recover better in the world cup, Italy's game has been in decline since the last few years.

Yamal was indeed the happiest on that match because he was overwhelmed by wining the trophy on his birthday, however in terms of wining the upcoming world Cup I still maintain that Spain has a good candidate for it because one of the things we should also consider about the future potential of a team is the kind of players they have and we all know that in football now the young stars are mostly the ones that last longer in terms of there performance, also in the case of Argentina they will perform well but they may not have the performance they did on there last world Cup because most of there players are very old unlike that of Spain.

It happened and happens with Holland, in the distant past, that generation Johan Cruyff, then Marco Van Basten and partners... England, come on! there are much players by generations,  exceptional times that they have had since 1960... come on, it's already something of the "jinx" type by Baby Ruth.

I don't know why there are so many people who are always up like that, saying that the club/team was lucky or lucky so they got to the final. Not only talking about England, but there was also a time when Real Madrid won the UCL, many people said juugua that Real Madrid was also happy or lucky to enter and win the UCL. Etc.

It's really funny.
Indeed, we admit that the opponents from Spain are indeed tighter and stronger than the opponents from England, that's true. However, of England's opponents, why did England win and advance to the final? yes because they deserve this and they are indeed capable. So luck is just an added bonus, but their efforts are truly extraordinary, starting from their struggles in the group phase to the final, they still try as optimally as possible.

Yeah, that's the public opinion and it was extremely obvious that England were very fortunate to have made as far the finals, I could say only a couple of teams were literally quite good enough to exceed their expectations in the whole tournament aside Spain, and that'd be Netherlands, and Switzerland too. Even from The team of the Tournament selected by UEFA you can easily how good Spain actually was in the tournament every department of the squad, Unai Simon obviously had the least job to do compared to most of the other goalkeepers in the tournament due to Spain's solid dominance.

He deserves this. Moreover, Yamal was also one of the players who made a very good contribution as a team to Spain's victory. but he is really shining at Euro 2024, even at a very young age, he is already that good. Spain never runs out of regeneration to strengthen its team. And he deserves to be very happy because it was his first Euros, he got a trophy, and he has such a big name this time.

He has just turned 17 years old, and he was part of the team that won Euro 2024. And he is one of the most contributing players in his team, even very good at playing, at such a young age.

When it comes to a single knockout match luck does play a part, and it the case of England for this said, luck was huge factor in the run to the finals not tactics, our how much a tactical genius can any coach be to ensure that his team would score a goal with possibly the final kick of game, it's a different ball game if a team plays a match and they've had multiple shots on target in that match, that wasn't the case for England in most of those matches they never even dominated the game let alone had the most chances. While they might have earned their place in the final due to not giving up during those matches, luck as a factor too cannot be overstated in their run to the finals.

Luck often plays a huge factor in any game. But luck can never win you a tournament or give you long term success. With luck you might win a match or two. It is not only luck that helps you to win the tournament, you also need to have merit. If we note an irrelevant point, the fate changed the entire game in the final moments of England vs New Zealand in Cricket ODI World Cup 2019 final. Both England and New Zealand reached the final on their merits but in that match fortunes were favorable for England but opposite for New Zealand. As far as I know, the England cricket team is the only team that has had the help of luck at the best of times. This example is to say that it is not always possible to win a tournament by merit or luck. You may need both to win the tournament.

Agree. Lamine Yamal's goal against France was the best goal of Euro 2024.
Receiving the ball in front of the penalty box, Yamal outwits Adrien Rabiot and sends the ball into the top corner of the French goal, It’s the most beautiful goals
And Barcelona confirmed that Lamine Yamal would wear shirt number 19 this season.
The same number he wears for Spain and that a young Lionel Messi wore at Barça.
One star is born every decade, the new star is Lamine Yamal!

The fantastic thing about this player is that he is very young, only 17 years old... think how good he can become by playing more and with experience.  This would be a player to buy my dear Juventus, but maybe you dont want to spend this money that you dont have.  It certainly costs a lot..

Yamal was indeed the happiest on that match because he was overwhelmed by wining the trophy on his birthday, however in terms of wining the upcoming world Cup I still maintain that Spain has a good candidate for it
We will see how well Spain will do against Argentina in he Finalissima, we will have an idea then of how they will be in the world cup which will be much more competitive. The attack of Lamal and Nico is a problem for any big team, that is why Barcelona are interested in bringing Nico Williams to the club to team with Lamal against Real Madrid that have signed a significant player.

The current Spain team is very young, they should be able to defend their title in the next four years.

I like that boy but the way we some people are been disrespectful to Messi kills me sometimes. There are people that are talented and gifted and there are people that goes higher through their efforts, we have seen that differences many times and no any player can be that good as Messi but people compare him to him, if not that football is all about hype now, I personally don't see anything special in there but I commend him for winning the Euro at such age.

It's even crazy how his transfer market value was raised now to €120m, just Euro only? What is now going to happen when he wins the Champions League, Laliga and Super cup. Football is really about the money nowadays.

I don't think that we should start using this Euros results to be the same as that of the world cup because it is still in two years time that many countries will have strengthen their team for the world cup so a lot will change in the world cup because the trend in football now is that the young players are the best since they will start shining from young and grow in more experience, making them to best to recruit.

I am anticipating in many years to come if Yamal performance improves more more, we can be looking at Lamine Yamal verging for the world's best player. That young guy is too good.

This is how Messi started. I remember years back when Messi was his age. Messi had an outstanding performance during the under-17 World Cup matches, which made Barcelona sign him at that age. What happened to Messi's career after so many years? Becoming the world's best player for many times. The same achievement can play out for Lamine Yamal in many years to come since he's already a Barcelona player

And I am worry for him as he plays for Barcelona now because Barcelona doesn't know how to manage players again when messi started most of the matches he was coming as a substitute because Barcelona had good players back then. When did La Liga end? The boy was playing matches consecutively, exactly like in the Euro, and if the league starts now, that is how he would continue, and at his age, don't you think an injury will ruin his career, just like it did to Asun Fati?

He deserves this. Moreover, Yamal was also one of the players who made a very good contribution as a team to Spain's victory. but he is really shining at Euro 2024, even at a very young age, he is already that good. Spain never runs out of regeneration to strengthen its team. And he deserves to be very happy because it was his first Euros, he got a trophy, and he has such a big name this time.
Agree. Lamine Yamal's goal against France was the best goal of Euro 2024.
Receiving the ball in front of the penalty box, Yamal outwits Adrien Rabiot and sends the ball into the top corner of the French goal, It’s the most beautiful goalsl!
Yes, that was one of his big contributions during EURO 2024, because thanks to his goal, Spain actually managed to advance to the final. Not to mention that from the start, Lamine Yamal was quite brilliant on the front line together with Nico Williams, so his influence at the club was really big and his contribution was not just scoring goals. Even in the final, he was the assist for the goal scored by Nico Williams. And before that, he also scored 3 assists, so he can make 4 assists during EURO 2024. At his still very young age, that is really a very good achievement, especially since his mentality is very strong and good, even though he is only 17 years old.

He is very young, his future is very bright. He won Euro trophy when he is still 17 years old and he becomes one of the key players to win the trophy. I see there are 3 Spain players who showed their best performance in this Euro 2024, they are Yamal, Olmo, and Williams. All of the are young players but Yamal is the youngest one.

And Barcelona confirmed that Lamine Yamal would wear shirt number 19 this season.
The same number he wears for Spain and that a young Lionel Messi wore at Barça.
One star is born every decade, the new star is Lamine Yamal!
It is true. Yamal will wear a new number for the new season in La Liga. He will use number 19, it is the same number when he plays in Spain national team. I think someday Yamal can choose number 10, 11, or 7. When he already becomes a superstar player, he will be given a better number.

Btw, Barcelona fans are sending donations on TikTok to the team telling them to buy Nico Williams.
People fail to understand, they have money. Barca is the 3rd best team in Europe in income, the thing that they don't have is financial Fairplay. lol

Gives Lionel Messi enough time to recover from his injuries, which may be his last significant injury because he seldom gets injured. I hope players like Lamal and Nico Williams don't get injured before the games as well, because they are key members of the Spanish team.

Unfortunately, Germany and Spain were on the same path in the quarterfinals, Germany could not defend until the penalty shootout in extra time but Spain had to admit that they were better than Germany.

It was not a matter of luck on penalties for Spain but the team won all the matches so Spain deserved to be the Champion.

The finalissima will be very interesting because these two teams are strong to face each other but at the end of the game the strongest team will always be the winner. Spain can win without a penalty and likewise Argentina, but if Argentina play the way they played against Colombia in the finals, it means that they will give the victory to Spain.

Barcelona was rich and not now because if a club cannot afford to buy players that will make them achieve success when they need it the most, it means that they are broke.

I think that in the end Argentina will win, they are really strong and the last world champion

Unfortunately Spain is the right national team win Euro 2024, they won all matches and never get draw or loss since group stage until success break out the final round before beating England team.
All winning matches of Spain without penalty kick and only one match extend until extra additional team when facing Germany on quarter final round.
Its show us how consistent performance of Spain in Euro 2024 although when group phase round their are not really favorite team become the winner under Germany as the host become more favorable teams.

They need to continue like this into the World Cup because that is more serious. When the pool for the World Cup comes up for people to vote for their favorite team that they think will win the competition, I can say that Spain and Argentina will have the highest pick amongst other countries that will qualify for it.
Their performance in the Euros was super impressive, they eliminated many of the big teams.

Germany were a bit spectacular too to be fair, their only flaw in the tournament in my opinion was lack of depth and quality on the flank, they've got great talent in the midfield and attacking midfield that can easily operate within close spaces, but they didn't have the best players when they chose to operate wide.

Argentina has been my favorite team for a long time a go, every time they play I will always support them.
Spain has a lot of good young players but Argentina and Lionel Messi are still better. So I will bet on Argentina :)

Broke? I don't think so
As a big club, Barca will be able to get through this crisis, because the fans in the world will continue to support them, morally and materially because they want the club to continue to achieve achievements and provide interesting entertainment.

Now the Euro has passed and it can be seen that there are teams who are happy about their success and there are teams who have to evaluate what happened during this Euro, one of which is the England National Team.

They decided to fire Southgate after failing to bring England to the championship. That was not the only reason for them, but they decided this was based on the poor performance shown by England under Southgate, so they decided to sack him.

You have not gotten your facts correctly because Garreth Southgate was not sacked; rather, he resigned from the job to give another person the opportunity to see if they can help England achieve the target they have for themselves after coming close twice to winning it. It was a more honorable thing to do than to allow his record have that he was sacked as England's coach. He also knew that the England supporters were already becoming fraustrated with him. In some games in the Euro where England performed less than expected, the supporters threw empty cups in his direction.

You are right, Gareth Southgate resigned as England's manager instead of being sacked.
He took England to the EURO final three years ago and again to the EURO final in 2024 but the fact is, the Three Lions never won.
And I think, resignation is the best choice for everyone, it's time for someone else.
Several names have been mentioned as potential replacements for Southgate, including Graham Potter, Eddie Howe, Pep Guardiola, and Lee Carsley.

Yes, thank you for correcting me,

But in my opinion it was a subtle way for Southgate before the England national team sacked him, because if he was sacked then something would be lost from him. This decision was not a sudden decision, or there was a lot of pressure that made him make a decision like this.

I hope that whoever becomes England coach will be able to make England even better. Because they have great potential to become a very strong team.

This is how Messi started. I remember years back when Messi was his age. Messi had an outstanding performance during the under-17 World Cup matches, which made Barcelona sign him at that age.

I believe the new Barcelona coach will know how to play him in most matches, for him not to experience a prolonged injury at a young age that will affect his football career. On the other hand, I believe Yamal is to be careful about how he performs in matches of late because defenders would not like to treat him lightly since he's good in the frontline scoring position of the opponent goalpost.
