[football] EURO 2024

[Uruhara]

Almost everyone writing off England huh? I might be the odd one here but, for some reason, I think they have a higher chance of getting past Netherlands than most thinks. I doubt they played their best football yet and they keep advancing. They get more confidence as the tournament progresses and that's a dangerous thing

England played below their maximum level but they were able to go this far not just because of luck. but indeed because they are able to do it. So England cannot be underestimated at all. It's just that I'm still unsure which team should be favorite in the Netherlands vs England match. maybe if England show their maximum game then they deserve to be favorites. but I doubt they will.

I won't go into the merits of the discussion, but I'll just make a reminder.  England only managed to beat Switzerland on penalties.
For a national team with a history like England, this is a sign, a sign of weakness.
So I don't think they will take the cup home, there are other teams that are definitely stronger.

France vs Spain looks like it will be a more interesting match than the other matches in this semifinal round. These two teams also displayed interesting games in previous matches, unlike England.

The Netherlands almost lost in the last 8, but they were able to get back a goal and turn things around so that they could finally win and be in the semifinals. In fact, these two matches are difficult to predict, because the teams facing each other do not appear to have significant differences.

It is difficult to predict but based on the current performance, I don't know what France and England are doing on the pitch, this is not football
I hope Spain and the Netherlands play in the final, Spain–Netherlands final rematch in World Cup 2010.
And Spain has the best chance of winning the Euros this time, they are playing well and have no lack of young and talented players.

Maybe the match will be full of luck from each team, I mean they can win the match because they are a little luckier. Sometimes that is something that often happens in football, especially when it is difficult for us to predict the match that will take place.

The 4 remaining teams have the opportunity to appear in the final round and become champions, provided that they must be able to play a better game than before.

yeah, I also doubt they will be able to get past this round. Because so far I feel that other teams are still playing above the English team. Unless they start to wake up and find their better style of play.

Today Spain will play France. And I think this match will be quite a fierce match. But Spain seems to be the favorite in this match. And I will also favor Spain.

Based on everything we saw during this EURO competition Spain is the best team, but we know that best teams dont always win matches.France has the quality to stop them and they good very good coach so maybe they finally play better against Spain.I am expecting to see more tactical chess game between two managers in this match.

yes, exactly, at the moment Spain remains the best team overall compared to the others.  Honestly, I have seen the quality drop, I dont know if it is because the players are tired or because there is generally less quality.  I dont know how to decide.  But I see the glass full, better than looking at nothing.

Of course Spain is the favorite in this match because they got super strikers that are capable of scoring goals anytime and they are super sharp. France on the other hand finds it difficult of finding the back of the post in most of their matches and they were able to reach this stage with a penalty shootout, but Spain won brilliantly. However, Spain will have a little problem in their defense because Carvajal was booked on a red card in their last match against Germany for an unnecessary foul due to aggression.

In a few hours we will see the first semifinal between Spain and France. This is certainly tense for them, because in one step they will be in the final and for that they have to make sure that they can win this match.

We know that Mbappe is a mainstay of France, but at this Euro he is having difficulty playing very well. He has only scored 1 goal so far, in this match I am sure he will get more attention from Spain.

First match of EURO semifinal is starting soon.
Spain is missing three important players but they showed quality performance during this competition.
France has very good defense but they play boring and they didnt show much in attack, maybe this is the time to shine.

Interesting odds, Spain is a slight favorite: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/international/european-championship/spain-v-france-66886a53b14b990001af5801

Spain have forced almost any opposing team to be either as equally entertaining or they get tactically outplayed, and these first few minutes into the game have showed that France will have to show some attacking prowess in order to subdue this Spanish team.

Spain have gotten a couple of half decent chances that could have easily turned out to be scoring opportunities for them.

Well done Spain. I hope they'll drive the victory till the end, still another half to go.
I think the worst la Fuente could do right now is to set his team defensively to protect the score. They should keep pressing and looking to score a 3rd one and then maybe move back a little bit.

[Zed0X]

Entertaining first half and I was expecting a goal or two more in the second half but France failed to equalize. Congrats to Spain's win! Many people were worried about the suspension of Carvajal but they still got the win over a formidable team.

I think there has been no team more deserving of reaching the finals of this tournament or even going all the way to win it that Spain actually because they've been world class from the very first game against Croatia and they played majority of the so called favorites coming into this tournament, all including Croatia, Italy and Germany and now France being their latest victim. There is no team better deserving in my candid opinion, but football is more than just deserving a title, you've got to win it!

A fruitless second half for France as they were unable to equalize the goal which Spain scored within 4 minutes. Yamal is the man of the match as he equalized the first goal with a world class strike and also made an assist in the second goal which Olmo scored. Spain gat the quality that you need to win the competition and I see them as the favorite to win this competition.

France is a great team, has amazing players, won a world cup in 2018 and finalist in 2022, so it is obvious that they are a marvelous team, but lets be honest about it and see that they were horrible all tournament long, they really sucked and we should consider the fact that its not going to be that easy. We need to remember that we are talking about a different France for the past games, they really played terrible, hell they didn't even had any proper goals until here. So it is only normal that the team that started the tournament with a 3-0 decisive win over Croatia to be at the finals, Spain showed their force and how good they are, they played better than anytime they played in the recent years and they were better on this game as well.
