There have been a lot of unpredictable and incomprehensible results.
Turkey, which many expected to be the dark horse, came out of the first round with three consecutive defeats.
France, which was nominated by most of the followers to crown the championship, came out very early and was not convincing in many matches in the tournament.
Ukraine, which qualified because of Sweden's goal over Poland with one victory and a goal difference of -1 eliminates Sweden from the championship at the last minute.
England, which was not convinced in the group stage, and everyone criticized Southgate for his choices, which made it difficult against Germany and defeated them without a mistake.
Spain, which suffered both offensively in the first two matches scored after 10 Goals in two matches!! What's Next? How many more surprises to come?

Barcelona announced today, Tuesday, the transfer of its young American player, Konrad de la Fuente, to the ranks of Olympique Marseille.

Barcelona issued a statement on its official website, in which it said, "It has been agreed to transfer Konrad de la Fuente to Marseille, for 3 million euros."

The statement added, "Barcelona will retain a share of the value of his transfer to any other team in the future."
The talented player needs the minutes to play more. Barcelona does not lose the player retains 50% of the player contract.
With Fati and Depay in the same position. So they need to cut some corners to keep the team costs bit more down.

Mercedes is planning to add updates to its cars as it looks to regain its dominance in the Formula One world championship. So the current short term dominance by RedBull could be cut short.After Verstappen won the Styria Grand Prix, Hamiltondriver urged his team to make changes in the car in order to increase its speed.
Mercedes chief Toto Wolff said the focus is now on the 2022 car, but James Allison, director of the Mercedes technical office, made it clear that this did not preclude modifications to the current model.

After a volatile season with City, Raheem Sterling turns to another more decisive player, 3 goals with the English in the tournament, all of which are pivotal and important goals, and then Harry Kane scored the confirmation goal.
Southgate closed the areas towards his goal first, and then pushed the element of speed and strength Geralich at the right time, with a great level of Luke Shaw and the rest, to win England deservedly, while Germany with Joachim Loew has not done the big thing since almost 2014, except for the Portugal match in the group stage. in the current championship.
England on paper have an open road for finals I expect them to face Italy or Spain depends more on who going to eliminate the other, Denmark could cause some problems

For Germany, which is similar to the Spaniards in making the risk, but with a lack of scoring because it does not have a real striker, provided that it is careful in its advanced defense in front of the crazy speeds of the well-known English attackers.
England has a collection full of brilliant names and young ages that seem unconvincing since day one,the question would be when will it rise up?
Sweden and Ukraine seem balanced 50%50 with a Swedish advantage after the first round.
My predictions would be on Germany and Sweden will qualify.

With many of the big names are out from Euro it will be interesting to see where the Ballon d'or will land,
Chelsea winning g the UCL didn't make it easy to clarify who will deserve it now with France out, a lot of contenders like Mbappe , Kante, Greizman ,surely didn't score a lot of points to deserve winning it, Ronaldo also had his campaign cut short after he had something going on for Jim so he would not be winning it any time soon this year.
This going to leave only  Messi and Kevin De Bruyne as prime candidate for winning Ballon d'or,
KDB is currently going to miss the quarter final against Italy so they are needed to survive that stage if they want to continue and that I'd going  to be a lot harder then Portugal game. So this going to leave Messi winning it if he won Copa America this year.

England vs Germany 1 - 2

Sweden vs Ukraine 1 - 0

I hope that tomorrow game between England and Germany gets te half of tge excitement as today.
Yeah I think that Germany is back as a strong candidate they always find it a hard at Group stages and most of the time they struggle but if they reach elimination stages their machines starts firing.
As for Today it was very entertaining day for football two fantasy matches, many goals, fun moments and completely unexpected endings, France outside the Euro in the biggest surprise ever so far as they were the number1 candidates to win it and they didn't get eliminated against any of their biggest rivals despite losing I think Paul Pogba was very creative going forward if someone told me he was the best player in the tournament, I wouldn't argue with him. He has unnatural touch and skill, he is giving his best time, but I am happy for Xhaka, a player who gives everything for his country.
Great match action, excellent passing, great vision, driving from behind, because every game from defense to attack reaches its owner, as if it is closer to the sniper coach who never misses his goal.

Switzerland did it, they hit France kicked out from the Euro ,   Mbappe missing the 5th penalty is going to crucifie him for it especially after a very poor game from him,
Getting out of this championship means that Deschamps will be the blamed most for.
It may make us see Zidane in the 2022 World Cup.
Spain against Austria will be facing each other in the quarter-finals and I don’t think that they are going to underestimate their opponents as they learned that from Croatia today almost the same thing happened to France but Spain got back on extra time while French failed to do so.

Benzema brings back France infront in a matter of two minutes.
Lloris saving the penalty was the Turning point for Deschamps men.
If Rodriguez scored the penalty we would have been in another situation, I know that he have done what his best but Lloris was better and managed to save it. Austria have that they are not an easy prey for France to show of for.

Spain to confirm its offensive awakening after finally showed their potential in their dominant 5-0 win over Slovakia in their last group game against the less then balanced Croatia as they haven't quite looked like the team that reached the 2018 World Cup Final.
France is the most prominent candidate for the title in my opinion, despite its modest levels compared to its tools against Switzerland, which watched the Czech Republic win the collective..
My predictions Spain will qualify alongside France.

Croatia VS Spain

Portugal was the best tactical and defensively it was the best match it has ever played. For the first time, Portugal's defense is an organized in defense, in which the team's attack was unable to score goals.
Belgium, from a quarter of a chance, took the qualification ticket. This is how tactical matches are played on chance and chances, and young Hazard mastered killing the Portuguese and expelling them from the tournament.
its going to be Italy next for Belgium another though game and we can say that they are currently the best performer in the competition and they certainly will be the favorites to win over Belgium.

Yeah after the first round, a lot of people have said that was one of the easiest group and it is the reason why the Netherlands got 9 points.
Today everything is wrong with Netherlands, Malen's getting alone with the goal and lost, De Ligt's red card, Depay's low level, Wijnaldum's lack of attendance at all, and of course the strange change from Frank de Boer with Malen's exit and Promes subbed in.
Neither Promes is a player who can add something big in attack, on the contrary, Malen is currently several stages better, nor is Promes a player who can strengthen the defense and fill the gaps after playing with 10, so it can be said that this change made the Netherlands play with 9 players instead of 10.
On the other hand, the Czechs performed a manly performance And deserved to ascend to the quarter-finals they will be facing Denmark it will be very entrusting to see who will be in the final 4 between them two.

The Netherlands outperformed itself in the group stage, but its problems were clear today.
The Czech Republic, with its group and organization, is capable of disturbing any upcoming competitor.
The technical, psychological and mental difference between Koeman's stage and Frank de Boer's stage is very, very, very big
The reason for the exit from the EURO of the Netherlands is that the Czechs did not steal qualification, but took what the Netherlands did not want to take, and that's the save of Malen 1v1 the goakeeper have changed the outcome of the match.

Manchester United plans to move in the current summer Mercato, to sign one of the prominent players in the French League. Their target is Rennes young star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been on Real Madrid's radar for the last two years, and reports claim that Real Madrid intends to sign him for free next summer.Rennes would not mind selling Camavinga this summer, for fear of losing him for free at the end of next season.
Jonathan Barnett, Camavinga's agent, recently said that the player is not lacking in offers, but they are determined to make the right decision about the future. so they are considering multiple offers.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen wins today extending his championship lead by 18 points over Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton finished second for Mercedes and earned an extra point after setting the fastest lap.
 
This made it for the first time since 2013, Mercedes has failed to win four races in a row.
Valtteri Bottas finished third with Mercedes. there was not nothing he can do this time to help Hamilton as Verstappen took the pole and never let it go.
The good thing for him is these didn't make Mercedes screw him so he can help Hamilton. The other good thing was going good for Bottas was that Russel retiring after he was in the top 10 in the first part of the race.
The Ferraris improved in this race, Sainz finishing 6 after staring from 12th, and Leclerc was 7th after he was the last in the first lap for pitting when he damaged his front wing.

The Netherlands, which was convinced a lot in the group stage, faces a more difficult opponent this time.
The Czech Republic won, drew and lost with difficulty in its last match against the English..
Portugal qualified as the third from the group of death with Ronaldo's goals and a remarkable brilliance for Renato Sanchez against .
Belgium, one of the candidates for the title with his tank Lukaku and De Bruyne in the midfield and the return Hazard will get them the upper hand on Portugal.
My predictions both Netherlands and Belgium will qualify.

The most important thing for Italy is they got to qualifie for next round  with the help of the successful substitutions and an unbridled desire to go far in the tournament.
Austria is a respectable team that played at the limits of its capabilities and fought a lot, but the quality teams alone were very enough.
And now we finally saw Italy can bleed as they have been
rock in defense it was first goal conceded by Donnarumma nets after 11 clean sheets.

so its going to be back  to back poles for Verstappen he will be joined by his rival Hamilton in first row after Bottas finishing 2nd in Q3 but the three-place grid penalty he got from yesterday spin in Pitlane.
So Verstappen  will be looking to emulate what he did in the french GP getting pole Position and winning it. it will be feasible since his car was the quickest in the track.
Its true that one of the ferraris were out of top 10 as Leclerc finished 7th while Sainz was 12th but Vettel only managed to get to Q2 only finishing at 14th.
His time in Q1 was not that impressive.
