[football] EURO 2024

[salad daging]

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.

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.

Group E is worth following now after Belgium defeated Romania because each team has three points. The only thing that separates them is the goal difference.

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

I saw a lot of commentaries and praises on Ronaldo for that assist and I wonder why. Is football not a team sport? Is this action not normal for Ronaldo? Well, Ronaldo was selfless no doubt but I think most of the accolades geared from the fact that it is not in his nature to make such open assist. Ronaldo could have easily scored but he chose to assist which is something new from Ronaldo. Great ball! Great assist!

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.

[salad daging]

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.

But considering that Scotland is far behind in scoring goals from Switzerland, perhaps Switzerland could still qualify even if they lose today's match. Because it's possible that Switzerland will also score a goal in this match. But let's just see what happens. But against Germany it will not be easy for Switzerland even though Switzerland also has very quality players.

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.
I only watched the Switzerland vs Germany match and the goal was disallowed by Germany because Musiala committed a foul.
Haha a lot of goals by VAR were disallowed.

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

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

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

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.

EDITED:
just ended:

FInally Germany could score tha goal in extra time.

Ronaldo could have easily scored but he chose to assist which is something new from Ronaldo. Great ball! Great assist!

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 definitely felt dissapointed with the tie Germany got, I expected them to get the win. Obviously, they finished the group stages as first, so they are not really caring about the result, however we need to be a bit more careful when betting. 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. In the end, I am still at positive for this tournament and I hope to continue that.

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.

In the end Scotland had to suffer defeat by Hungary. And it turns out that Switzerland was also able to hold Germany to a draw. Yes, this is something unexpected but this is how football is always full of surprises.

For today's match, Spain will face Albania. But maybe I won't be interested in watching it. Because I am more interested in watching the Croatia vs Italy match which I think will be quite exciting.
