⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[Lordhermes]

So we're already in the quarter finals some of the favorite teams have dropped out of the tournament France , Germany and Portgugal I didn't expect
Now my favorite goes to Belgium I'm sure these young players can make it to the final.

Yes i too think they can get to the final as we v'e seen in italy last game they did not performed well like in the stage groups especialy in the second half they could v'e lost that game on the other hand belgium team showed some defensive quality against portugal so my bet is on them to get past italy.

I am optimistic England will win the Euro 2020 cup.I see England vs Belgium final.England have really impressed me in this tournament,since the likes of Sterling, Saka and Harry Kane are used upfront role,they've been doing well.Sterling has really been one of the most outstanding player in this tournament,and the whole England team have showed solidity in both defence,midfield,and attack.They've been terrific so far,and I predict them to win the tournament.

To open up the Italian defense Belgium need to play a much better match than they played in the entire tournament and he need to overcome Gianluigi Donnarumma which looks like an impossible task considering how he performed throughout the tournament but i am still hoping they could breach that.
I think Spain and Italy can be in the finals but i would love to see Belgium and Denmark in the finals .

Looking at Ukraine's performance, I think they still have a chance to beat England, although the chance is not very high.

England it's not the strongest team in 1/4 of Euro, so chances are pretty good i think. At least, the same (as you noticed above) was with Sweden: very few people thought that Ukraine will beat it. But some people tells that this happened just because Sweden team had less players than ukrainian.

Even so, it is undeniable that in every England-Ukrainian match, England will come out as the winner.  So my prediction this time is Kane will not let his team go home with a defeat in this long journey.  At least he will score goals for his country and meet his next opponent.  Ukraine itself is also a team that cannot be underestimated, they are also quite stable in their game.  But Kane is now highly expected to take England into the next game.

I think England and Belgium will face each other in the final. The Belgian team is strong. I don't think Spain will be able to reach the semi-finals. Switzerland's gameplay is better than Spain's. England's next opponent will not be too strong. They may easily reach the final if the players do not lose form.

So far no team has ever score a goal yet against England and that is a great achievement so against Ukraine probably England will have it alot more easier. If England can win against Germany then I cant name a single reason on why would they lose against Ukraine unless some players make a stupid own goal ( this would be crazy though if it happened lol)

Ukraine also scored a last minute goal against Sweden so its kinda like they are being lucky instead of was playing better against Sweden so England have a great chance to win

If English supporters have thought about the quarantine problem beforehand than they could have reached Rome in time for the match against Ukraine, otherwise the Italian
"I am very clear: English fans will not be able to come to Italy to watch the England-Ukraine match." This is the categorical comment of the Italian Gov Health Official Andrea Costa before the game scheduled in Rome on July 3 for the quarterfinals of Euro 2020. "There are 5 days of quarantine, the rule must be respected. We cannot take risks. If an English fan leaves today, he will not see the game. Same for those who left yesterday and those who leave today. No English fan arriving in Italy today will be able to go to the stadium to watch the match between England and Ukraine".
I wonder how many English supporters will not respect that rule

True, England have a greater chance of winning than Ukraine if the quality of their players is to be compared. England have not conceded a single goal so far while they managed to score 4 goals in 4 match. I'm not sure Ukraine will be a tough opponent to beat for England even if they both reach the quarter-finals. England will reach the semifinal and are one of the team being considered for reaching the final so far.

Anything can still happen, although I also believe in Spain, Italy and England but basically I'm still considering the drama and surprises that might happen again in the quarter-finals.
I personally think Spain is not too strong and not too good and Switzerland could surprise again by eliminating the two big and favorite teams, that's possible I guess.
Regarding Belgium - Italy, I personally believe Italy have a better chance of winning, considering De Bruyne and Eden Hazard who are unlikely to play due to injury. That way, at least Belgium will rely on Lukaku in attack and I don't believe Belgium can win in such conditions against Italy.
But what's more interesting is the Czech - Denmark match, these two teams have equal surprises and chances to win and I really can't predict which one will win. But even so, I have to choose the winner and I prefer the Czechs.
For England, of course England will be the favourite. But here England will play in Rome which I think might be different, because in previous matches England played at home and it would be different when playing at a more neutral venue.

The only team that I can see not getting any upset at all is England, they are just way too good compared to Ukraine and they will definitely win that game. Aside from that the other two is just way too close to call. Not that Italy is bad, Italy is definitely good, if they were the ones playing against the Swiss or Ukraine or even Spain I would say that Italy would win, Italy actually did win against Switzerland as well, what I do not however feel sure is the Belgium game, Belgium is also another great team, they would also be capable of beating Ukraine and Switzerland and maybe even Spain, so Italy faced the toughest team after England they could face.

Spain on the other hand is normally a great team, but haven't been that great in this tournament, if you gave me the rosters on paper I would say there is no way Spain would lose but now looking at it, I think there is a small chance due to how they played so far.

Kylian Mbappé turn into villain after missing penalty shots against Switzerland. The same young star was regarded as Hero in 2018 World Cup. He can say sorry but not change the story. Imagine that Mbappe's market value just the same as Swiss entire team's value, still the French were kicked out. Mbappé failed to perform through out their EURO 2020 journey, he might erase this chapter and start the new beginning.

Every great player has had some bad encounter in his career and it is inevitable. I would as far as saying that it is necessary to have some happenings like that, because the help champions grow even more.
Mbappé is clearly a champion and no penalty missed can change that.
Let the social keyboard lions play their game while Kylian becomes a legend.

The Ukrainian football team cannot boast of a large number of attacking players.  Her credo is more of a positional game. 

Moreover, such an opponent is very inconvenient for the English football team. 

The Ukrainian team will not let any goals into their own net.  I'm sure of that.  The Ukrainians will wear down the British with their positional play. 

Ukraine will win after extra time. 

We will see everything for ourselves soon!  It will be a very interesting football match!

Are we writing off Switzerland against Spain? I personally feel that Spain haven't been impressive at all in this competition. While Switzerland might be performing above expectations right now, I believe they have some quality players, that can turn the tables against Spain.

The only issue is; Xhaka. You never really know what your going to get from him. He played brilliantly last match, but he has a tendency to lose his temper. and composure when things start going wrong. If he performs, I think they beat Spain this time out, and judging by the odds they are a very lucrative option.

Every good player has bad moment(s) in his career and that was Mbappe one. No one should be blamed for missing a penalty. Penalty kicks are very random at a point I think they ruined football but there isn't other alternatives to end an infinite game..
Back to tomorrow games, can Switzerland make another surprise and kick Spain? Belgium - Italy, BTTS?

I think it will be more possible for Switzerland to surprise Spain. It seems to me that Spain has more fame than capacity at the moment.

Not completely writing off. I thought Spain's resolve after conceding two late goals was impressive.Their "growth" in this tournament is what I am counting on. There is no doubt that Switzerland have some quality players too and they know how to fight back. I just don't think they can repeat their performance against France.

Xhaka is uncontrollable and Thiery Henry, as I read from newspaper, turned off his television when he saw Xhaka led Arsenal and worn the captain arm band. Henry does love Arsenal but he disagrees with the decision to give captain band to Xhaka.

Mbappe is very strong and in his age, many other players are still young players. Mbappe has achieved many things in his career and World Cup is what many legendary players never won in their career.

Mbappe will be a core of France squad in next one decade and he will be more matured with time. Penalty kicks are challenge for any players especially the first and the last rounds.

Spain certainly improved during the group phase... but they so nearly threw away their chance in the last 16. That first knockout round had some weird matches and weird results, but no team really looks invincible at the moment. So I'd definitely agree that whilst Spain should be favourites, we certainly can't say that Switzerland have no chance.

Up to this point, although there are many who say that there is a disparity between the teams, specifically that many people might consider Ukraine to be the weaker team. But I think, their chances are equal. It is clear that Ukraine won by their own strength.

Tomorrow we have two games, Switzerland vs Spain and Belgium vs Italy. With looking at some stats, the first game is good for both teams to score and/or over 2.5 goals. But for the second game, I still don't have any clues for now...

All match predictions seem to be wrong so far, but if it's about Belgium and Italy, I still see a bigger opportunity for Italy. Because until now, Italy is having a terrible unbeaten streak that not every team can do. So, I have more faith in Italy.

Ukraine will win after extra time. 

I'm not sure who will win, but with Ukraine's style of play, obviously, extending to extra time can be an advantage

Switzerland has a strong determination and Spain is now a tough opponent, but I think it will repeat its performance like with France I think they have a strong determination to win, as many say that Spain's performance is still less impressive they are still there a little weakness compared to other big teams but in this situation both can counterattack or at least it can be extra time.
If Switzerland are able to show another performance like yesterday then Spain will be overwhelmed with their style of play.

Switzerland will definitely be playing tight against Spain for the mission to make history more than qualifying for the last 16 of the Euros and it will be a very interesting game to watch.
I must admit throughout the match, the Swiss game continued to improve, especially in a very disciplined defense and also managed to beat the great team of France, the 2018 world champions.
And during the Euros I didn't see Spain playing well and even boring and I can't wait to watch a game which is certainly very interesting.

With a very good game, I think Switzerland has a good chance to win against Spain. A draw is in any case after 90 minutes inside for Switzerland, in the offensive the Spanish were not really strong and compelling.

In Italy against Belgium, I see the game pretty even, but I think the Italians will get win on the end oft the day 😎
