⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[gabbie2010]

The results today are very surprising for me. I would have guessed France a win and Germany would be a draw. Very strong performance from Germany and deservedly won, respect. Even if the Portuguese have officially scored 4 goals. In the last game today, I am assuming a clear win for Italy.

The German team were very impressive right from the beginning of the match firing with all cylinders taking all the possessions, they really deserve the win, while the Portuguese team rely on counterattacks with Ronald and Diego Jota as the point men unfortunately things didn't work for them, non of the team is sure of qualifying yet after France played  a one all drew earlier today against the group underdogs Hungary.

The only surprise I think is that France failed to beat the Hungarians. The fact that Germany has won against Portugal is not really a strange result. just have a better team. It is worth noting that so many goals have been scored. It all comes down to the final round now. Spain should also be careful, as Poland has some difficult players such as Lewandovski.

Hungary was playing really good in defense the entire match.France had too many missed chances in the end that costed them the three points.Germany destroyed Portugal with how they played Gosens played an amazing match wasnt expecting that from him at all

[Dewi Aries]

Other matches Spain vs Poland we know Spain is the favorite here but sometimes there are surprises as happened in the previous match between France vs Hungary , I think there will be a lot of goals so i go with over 2.5 goals Lewandowski and Morata will attack each other

[ingiltere]

Germany showed class and put a championship performance against one of the high rated teams. After France loss they put their heart out and became in second place in the group. Let's see who will say the last word, Germany will play with Hungary so their chances are higher for first place.
Spain - Poland game Spain found a goal with Morata but referee said offside. It was a clear goal and finally VAR made the last decision.

[jostorres]

This game will probably decide who will go to next stage. Portugal beat Hungary very easily but Germany will do the same, and France will probably beat Portugal as well, which means whoever ends up losing this game will be third, with three points.

Considering there is a chance of thirds going up (some thirds do, the worst 2 doesn't) is there a chance that either of these teams be in the bottom three or not? I am not entirely sure what is going to happen but I know that there is a good chance we may end up with one of these teams eliminated because of this game. It is still unknown, loser could still go up, but it is a big risk and neither of these teams wants to take that risk, they want to win and win big to make sure they go up without a hiccup. I am going to bet on Portugal, Ronaldo has been crazy and I think he could still pull some magic trick.

So, Morata's goal looked offside. Was flagged offside, and there wasn't that much of an argument from even Morata himself, and then VAR review, goal. Have to say that was lucky, but I guess this is why VAR's here.

But what a feast from Germany. Sorry that Portugal lost as they were sharp on the counter at first. Two own goals, guess their good luck from first match evened out today.

[Harkorede]

Germany ran riot against Portugal, I had know that Germany would win, but after going behind in the first half I thought it could the their game vs France repeating itself. But the turned things around deserved their win.

Other matches Spain vs Poland we know Spain is the favorite here but sometimes there are surprises as happened in the previous match between France vs Hungary , I think there will be a lot of goals so i go with over 2.5 goals Lewandowski and Morata will attack each other

Spain have just taken lead in 25th minute, I think it should be an easy ride from here on..: If so Poland campaign has probably come to end. Poland are not playing with any sense of urgency.

In several meetings between Spain and Poland, Spain has always won by scoring more than 2 goals and from the existing statistics, Spain is certainly more favored in today's match, especially in 10 meetings of Spain against Poland, Spain managed to record 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 lost against Poland, I personally also hope that this match will be exciting because both teams need full points in this second match to be able to advance to the next phase, especially in the previous match both teams got pretty bad results, so as to keep the chances of qualifying for 16 Of course victory is an absolute requirement for both teams in  match.
My prediction is maybe Spain will win by a score of 4 - 1

...

due to the two results of today (france 1-1 against hungary and the victory of the germans against portugal) germany has the possibility to reach the 1/8 final even as top of the table.
in the last games in the group everything is still possible
hungary - germany
france - portugal

[MAAManda]

Entering the second half, and the score is still 1 - 0, I placed a bet on Poland +1.5, do you think the score will continue to be 1 - 0 until the game is finished or Poland will score and make the final score a draw?

I Hope the score will stay the same until the game ends so I win my bet

after watching the first half, i think Spain will win this match, there won't be no surprises, and i also think Poland won't score, this match is going for a 2-0 for Spain of course, probably 1-0 but two goals is more likely to happen.

[bullrun2024bro]

There we go, another goal and score stands 4-1 Germany in the lead with 3 goal cushion. Like I said earlier, Germany are attacking and pressing the defense quite well. They are attack in a very well coordinated manner and there we go 4-1 and maybe more to come the way Portugal defense are clueless against Germany's attack. A good entertaining match for Germany fans and backers today. They desperately needed the points after the france defeat and they will be having it today,

Wow, that was a great game to watch! A really strong performance by the German national team until the 60th minute. After an unfortunate 0-1 at the start, two own goals by the Portuguese turned the game around. Afterwards, the German national team played strongly. In particular, the full-backs Gosens and Kimmich played a major role in the German national team taking a 4:1 lead. After there were a few substitutions, the game flow of the German team got a little lost. Portugal were able to cut the score once more, but the Germans defended quite well in the last ten minutes.

All in all, a well-deserved result. It looks like the German team is getting hungry for more. Can't wait for the game against Hungary on Wednesday!

Yes they showed good performance but i did not see this outcome i thought it will be a draw since portugal are one of the favorite and germany did not afford to lose this game and now they have more chance than portugal but anything can happen since today france were not able to win against hungary so it can be a though team to beat.

[ajanwalker]

In Euro 2020, teams are ineffective in scoring on penalties. I can say that there have been 3 or 4 missed penalties in the Spain-Poland match so far. At the end of the championship, perhaps the tournament with the most missed penalties will be Euro 2020. Having good matches and the presence of spectators in the stadiums, especially after the pandemic, added a different atmosphere to football. Euro 2020. Matches played in Denmark, Russia and the Netherlands are being played at full capacity.
My favorite is Italy. Italy plays top quality football and team play.

It looked offside on the first watching but there was a leg left from opposition player so all good and finally one VAR call I can endorse 100%.

I was really surprised with Germans scoring 4 goals against usually very solid Portuguese side. Granted 2 of those were own goals but it was achievement anyway. Why couldn't they score one more goal so at least our over 4.5 goals scored promo would be a winning one.

I am going to bet on Portugal, Ronaldo has been crazy and I think he could still pull some magic trick.

Haha. After seeing how Germany messed up Portugal earlier today, my confidence in their team has taken a huge blow. Ronaldo might be a key player for Portugal but you've to understand that teams like Germany will capitalize on neutralizing a threat like Ronaldo and kept him quiet. He had just few "aha" moments. First with that goal (with assist from Jota) and assisting Jota for the second Portugal goal. Portugal has to do better than their display today and going against a balanced like France, I don't see that happening. If the final game gets too hard for France to win Portugal, they would just get a draw at least. Even a draw gives France 1/2 getaway spot to the next round.

And Spain - Poland game has ended 1-1. I should say that I'm really surprised with this result. After drawing with Sweden 0-0, I'd expect a win from Spain in this game. But Poland did a really good job here. Lewandowski scored their goal as many people can predict easily as well.

it shouldn't really matter for a team like france whether they become 1st or 2nd in the group. they are always favorites in the game after. and then it is not even certain that the number 1 from another group is also the strongest country. England for example can also become 2th, then you prefer the number 1 from that group

Its funny that so many goals scored by him ruled out by VAR for offside earlier and now after a long time he gets a goal after a VAR review when he had no hope.    Anyway that opens the score for him and Spain against Polland and maybe shuts the mouth of haters for some time now.

But what a feast from Germany. Sorry that Portugal lost as they were sharp on the counter at first. Two own goals, guess their good luck from first match evened out today.

Germany were pressing very hard and that was very hard for Portugal defense to handle. Two own goals was the result of that. Germany today were totally superb and Portugal's defense were really clueless. Portugal attack was very good today but that wasn't enough for them to win the match.
