[football] EURO 2024

[Captain Corporate]

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.

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.

On the one hand, many were disappointed with the referee's attitude in giving too long extra time in the match. But on the one hand, especially for Italian fans, it was a dramatic moment and a stroke of luck that really came to them and they should be grateful for. But yeah Croatia will end up here at the Euros this time. And maybe at the next Euro Croatia will be filled with more young players. And at that time Modric will no longer be seen there as a player.

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.

Italy's next match will be against Switzerland, a very difficult match for this very weak Italy
I'm convinced that at the next match we will be out of the competition
I insist on not watching, for time reasons and also because it doesn't seem funny at all

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.

Italy's next match will be against Switzerland, a very difficult match for this very weak Italy

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.

[Harkorede]

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).
And it's not like the Switzerland was considered a weak team. They managed to the quarterfinal last time around (in 2020).

[koang]

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.

I understand how you feel when you know that your country is not playing fine as expected of them in the ongoing Euro League, and in the same vein, they're to face a tough opponent. it can be demoralizing to note that. All hopes are not lost because football is full of surprises. Don't be surprised if Italy wins Switzerland at the end of their match encounter

[Captain Corporate]

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
