[football] EURO 2024

[Sim_card]

Penalties again 
This was another boring match between England and Switzerland but at lest we saw some goals scored in 90 minutes.
England was better after perfect penalty shootout but I dont think they can do anything serious in next stage against winner of Netherlands and Turkey.
Odds drop on them to win EURO, but it is higher than for Spain: https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/international/european-championship/outrights

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am watching the match and I am really excited about Turkiye`s performance.  Montella is doing a really great job with the Turkish national teamTo say that he hasn`t managed to establish himself in Italy, Tardelli was saying it was a question of fashion, this wouldn`t surprise me.

[JoyMarsha]

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?

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.

[Rruchi man]

Well, congratulations to the Netherlands and also England as the winners of the match this day.

The next phase of the competition just became tougher, Netherlands against England, Wow! I don't see England getting past Netherlands that are in form and not struggling to score goals. Netherlands are more likely to be make it to he finals than England.

For the finals, I predict Spain against Netherlands.

[Yamzakid]

Congratulations to the Netherlands, the match wasn't easy for them , 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.

[Captain Corporate]

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.

As we know the final 4, it's about time for the updated odds:


As expected, Spain is the favourite here and England is 2nd regarding chances of winning according to oddsmakers and that's because of how the teams are matched up, with France being considered a much stronger team than the Netherlands.

[sampoerna]

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.

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.

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.

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.

while on the other hand, I really want to see Mbappe rise up the trophy

It's the most boring game so far played, at least in regular time, except for the goals, come on! these teams played at mode..." I'm not trying, you try..."(!?)
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.

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.
