[football] EURO 2024

[Rruchi man]

France vs Belgium

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Of course, I also don't blame the referee in this case, because the referee gave a chance to the team that was attacking and I think the referee would also do that when the situation was different, Croatia was attacking for example.

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.

the fact that they are all at 4 points is truly surreal at times absurd GROUP E
this means that the composition of the teams is not that different, I mean, they are all at the same level
there is no one who is stronger and who is not

I am right not to watch it

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".

actually if I remember correctly, they calculate the minutes to give at the end as extra timethey calculate how many substitutions, how many injuries, lets say it is a mathematical calculation that everyone can easily do, so in my opinion there are no tricks in the minutes of recovery

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.

From what I read, you are from Turkey, congratulations.

Well, in these parts of the world Turkish novels are a trend, and now they are trending even with soccer. 

On to what's important now:

I think Turkey has a great opportunity, Austria don't have an easy team, but given the configurations and the legendary nature of the teams participating here, Austria is an unmissable opportunity to move forward, I hope they achieve it.

Yes, this will be a tough match.
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.

France has the high chance of winning this match than Belgium but if they don't put much effort in the match, Belgium might win France. I know France will fight till the end of the game because whoever losses will be knocked out of the competition and that will be a shame for France to be defeated in the round of 16. They have strong squad and strength in France and I don't see how two or three players in Belgium will be able to stop them.

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.
