⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Winner: ITALY!

[aoluain]

I don't know which match to even watch. All are entertaining. I am so happy for Ronaldo on reaching the New milestone. A hattrick would be an awesome icing to the cake.

As for Germany, I just hope Hungary beat them. The dick move they had earlier on attempted to have Allianz Arena lit up with rainbow colors was pretty stupid IMO. Instead of concentrating on how they can win the match, they busy trying to politicize the beautiful game of football. I am glad UEFA didn't agree to their demands.

Im watching France v Portugal, what a match, it has everything and the pace
has fallen off in the last few minutes. Looks like both are happy now not to lose.
Both matches 2-2, both bets lost. Cant believe Germany went behind twice.

Only losers are Hungary.

To be fair though that was the idea of the city council of Munich and not of German Football association but i also agree that this idea was stupid because you should not use sports as a political stage, there are other ways to make a statement. The game itself was completely crazy Germany somehow managed to score the equalizing goal to 1-1 because of a huge mistake of the Hungarian keeper but then right after the following kick-off they received another goal. Germany did it in the end with a goal of Goretzka but the overall performance of the german team was very poor. They had a chance to score again in the overtime and win the match but Sane played a horrible pass that no one could reach.
They have to play against England now and with a performance like that they won't have a chance there.

My bet on the victory of the German national team lost ... now this team owes me money  
As for the Portuguese national team, although it took the third place in the group, I am sure that four points will be enough to be in the next stage of the tournament.

[joker_josue]

Two-goal draw in both matches of the night.
The games were really exciting, and any one of the four teams could have won the game.

Congratulations to Portugal, France and Germany.

Now the tournament will start in earnest.

oha. now germany has to go to england at wembley stadium. that will be a very very difficult game for germany.
the german team will have to perform 50% better in london if they want to win the eighth finals there.
but let's wait a few more days. then we'll see if the german eleven can win again at wembley.

hah? it's a double in this match

To be fair, Hungary performed too well in this match, personally, I feel that Hungary completely deserved to go through, but unfortunately things didn't go as planned. Although I appreciate Germany more and bet for Germany, Hungary made me feel that they really deserve it.

Both of match were really impressive, I feel it was one of the best so far, the bad thing is I'm losing my bet but getting a draw from both 

[Woodie]

Today's games produced quite a number of goals and my sole interest was the Portugal versus France.  Honestly i thought France would come out top in this one but I guess Ronaldo and team had other plans and his nemesis Benzema too was on point 👉  which conclusively was a good match.
And Fortunately  for Portugal they got 3rd as my biggest losers but made the cut for the last 16..see you in the next round boys hope you finish strongly this time around.

[tomahawk9]

dammit! my bet was a total disaster. Only 1 corner in the game, even though there were 20+ total shots not gonna bet on corners again :-P

who do you guys think it's gonna advance to quarter-finals? my predictions in bold:

Belgium - Portugal
Italy - Austria
France - Switzerland
Croatia - Spain
Sweden - Ukraine
England - Germany
Netherlands - Czech Republic
Wales - Denmark

France - Portugal, what a game. Only thing which ruined this game is referee and some his calls. I don't like Pepe, but it's worth to mention how this 38 year old grandpa managed to stop Mbappe.
Germany - Hungary. After all, it's pity that Hungary didn't qualified, I think they deserved it. They looked decent against all opponents in such powerful group. While Germany, their game today left a lot of concerns for Low. Englan - Germany in 18 fina, what a classic .

[Lordhermes]

Spain surprised me today.
They did only beat Slovakia, but also took over their position on the Group table.

All France needed was either a win or draw in the match against Portugal, and they definitely played 2-2 draw. Because they were already having 4 points and topping the group table.
However, Portugal now have the same points with Germany. The matches was indeed interesting.

[notblox1]

I expected much more from Germany in this match but they only managed to get draw in last few minutes of the match, and they even played at home in Allianz Arena, Munich.
You can't expect to win EURO like that, and Germany was one of my main picks to win it, but let's see what they will do against England in play-offs scheduled in six days.
Match will be played at Wembley stadium, London.

[bct_ail]

That was not a good game by the German team. Few ideas. Little fight. Little passion. Hungary had deserved to win. From now on, Germany has to learn that you only get further if you win games. It will be difficult against England.

Pepe is a world class defender with years of experience in his side. The only advantage Kylan Mbappe has got against him is his youth and speed. If Pepe can actually put that in check, the damage from Mbappe would always be minimal.

Spain surprised me today.
They did only beat Slovakia, but also took over their position on the Group table.

Spain came out strong today, Slovakia isn't that a top team when compared with Spain but, Spain despite its squard haven't been very impressive lately but tonight, they were out to dominate and they did beat Slovakia to an all round statistics playing from an away side.

Poland on the other hand had a good game against Sweden, with Robert Lewandowski still showing his boss in  the team and his fatality doesn't end at Bayern alone. Too bad that last goal came in at the die minute and rubbed them of there hard effort.

Looks like on a paper with the games to be played now there is a lot of money to be made.Very easy games,as strong teams are playing against weaker ones in the majority of the 8 games that will be played.Only Germany vs England is strong while the others looks easily predictable.

Tonight result of Germany against Hungary says a lot about Germany this time,they were playing on their home field in Allianz Arena and in the first half they were almost non existent in the field,no ideas,no fast game play and the biggest issue,no real attackers which is something they should fix immediately.

[DIA7]

Hungary deserves the great salute in the group of death, since everyone considered it just a station. Portugal exhausted the last minutes and drew with France and Germany with a performance that exceeded all expectations and confirmed that there are teams worth waiting to be judged.

Germany is a beautiful team with a high tactical thought, but weak in character and staggering, and this is what we have not seen in Germany for years.

France and De Champs and a lot of tactical problems are linked to poor football despite the quality of the elements. That is why I hate false victories linked only to the result and which come without the slightest Persuasion and Deschamps made and inflated these deceptive results.

Portugal true that they are rich witch star-studded team, is no longer that weak version of the 2016 players. This group does not deserve to stagnate defensively and play as a team without a ball throughout the game and that is Santos' cliched idea.

Hungary really deserves a lot better than elimination at the group stage, they stood up well against both Germany and France, A group where everyone them wrote them off initially but they really should be proud of themselves.

Germany probably under estimated the Hungarian team and were stunned, I guessed they would have been better prepared if it were to be a supposed "stronger" opponent, I would still tip Germany to eliminate England in the next round though.

I think we will a surprise.

Portugal will beat Belgium.
and England can win versus this Germany.

England - Germany

This is a pretty bold prediction considering that they will be playing in Wembley Stadium. Dang, Hungary was so close to kick Germany out of Euro and I always love to see some surprise because so far there wasnt any surprises yet from group stage aside from Turkey.

Very easy games,as strong teams are playing against weaker ones in the majority of the 8 games that will be played.Only Germany vs England is strong while the others looks easily predictable.

Belgium vs Portugal might turn out not as you wish for. Belgium has better overall teams but Portugal was the winner for the last Euro so we might get some surprise from this match.

A group where everyone them wrote them off initially but they really should be proud of themselves.

2 draws and 1 lose for Hungarian team , thats a far better record compared with Turkey and North Macedonia.
