[football] EURO 2024

[Lucius]

@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.

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.

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

[Sim_card]

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.
