⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers➡Group Stage➡1/8➡QF➡HF➡FINAL

[W Jr.]

Netherlands just went 1-0 down to Austria, obviously a long way to go but if this result stood the Netherlands could finish 3rd in the group meaning a much tougher last 16 tie. From what I’ve seen so far the Netherlands look very unlikely to be a candidate to win the Euros.

England play later tonight, they also look poor so far, they do not look like a tournament winning team. Spain are maybe the stand out team so far.

Yes, the matches in the group are over. The Netherlands lost 3-2 against Austria and fell to third place in the group. Now France is second and Austria is first. Poland overtook France from the leadership by scoring one point. The Euro 2024 tournament continues with excitement. If Slovenia surprises and beats England today, the situation will become more complicated. I'm curious about tonight's matches.

The last two matches of today are the final matches in Group C. In these two matches, Denmark will face Serbia, and England will face Slovenia. England currently leads the group with 4 points. Slovenia must win against England, while Denmark needs a victory to secure a spot in the round of 16. Serbia, on the other hand, will await the result of the England-Slovenia match to determine their fate in the group.

Modric saying goodbye (possibly) to the national team with a group stage elimination wasn't what they were thinking probably. I mean he is quite old now, and him playing 2 more years for world cup, will not be all that simple at all. I think it is clear that we are talking about him leaving, retiring after this one unless he does something unbelievable.

He can not do anything unbelievable because he does not have the ability of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo that can play forever due to their talents. Luka Modric has tried for Croatia, I do not use to watch their game untill Luka modric start playing and carrying the whole team on his back. He can not be doing that while old, I said he is not Messi that can win a world cup and I feel sorry for him. They are not eliminated from the tournament yet but it is not looking very good for them. Croatia not moving forward is not what we expected, there are some nations that you will just know they can not going to progress out of the group stage but Croatia was not one of them and that makes it sad because I will miss watching their beautiful supporters that use to come to their games

Luka Modric is a player I admire his pattern of play even though he's old but yet he is very active contributor to both Real Madrid and the National team Croatia and even in this Euro 2024 in Germany, he has shown devotion for his team but it's unfortunate that they they may not qualify for the round of 16 even if there are still chances of them qualifying but it's very slim chance. Even if Luka Modric can't be matched with the standards of Messi or Ronaldo but he did his best for his team and his country but I want to correct an impression you just created by saying that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can play forever because we know that age is almost against the both players of which they are nearing a retirement age from football. Even if Croatia gets eliminated, Luka Modric is an icon for the country because he made them proud through out his playing time for the country.

Never compare a player to another because each of them have their unique differences and we all know that Luka Modric and Messi can't be compared between Messi has made better achievements in his football than Modric.

Netherlands were a disaster today, I guess you agree with me on that point. I mean they didn't have problems on scoring. The main issue was defending.

The interesting thing was that Netherlands scored 2 own goals. Maybe the 2nd one was written to Schmid but if de Vrij didn't try to touch the ball that wasn't going to end up with a goal. Austria's 3rd goal was so comfortable also. It was like a walk in the park.    

Netherlands will finish the stage as one of the best third-placed teams most probably but they can't do much with this poor defending. Congrats to Austria on their bold game which resulted in even finishing Group D in 1st place.

Slovenia must win against England, while Denmark needs a victory to secure a spot in the round of 16. Serbia, on the other hand, will await the result of the England-Slovenia match to determine their fate in the group.

All teams still have a chance in this group but I am again not sure about England maybe they can win but it will be hard to do even though they have star players all over the league but it is hard to win.
Denmark will definitely try to win they are already 2 points ahead while Serbia only have 1, if they win then Slovenia will have to lose to England or vice versa.

The Netherlands will have to lose to Austria 2-3 are already assured of qualification including France, but the Netherlands can qualify as the 3rd best.

[Volgastallion]

Well, i think nobody can predict that outcome from the group D, man what a mirecale do Austria not only qualifying but also being in the first spot, and changing all the eurocup, because now the draw for R16 and QF is super diferent in one side are super heavy teams and in the other not so much.

Dissapointing performance until now of France and Netherlands.

In such a group with France and the Netherlands, Austria is a rock-solid team right now and is the first in the group. What can we say in today's match? They played well and earned the points they deserved. I clearly did not expect the Netherlands to win this match, especially since this incident, which was an own goal scored by the Netherlands, happened very early.

Netherlands is okay, I never expected this performance from France.

All 4 teams need to win. We will watch two such exciting and beautiful matches. Slovenia looks better against England from what I saw in the first minutes. England started to make simple turnovers and they have to avoid such mistakes throughout the match. Slovenia is a team that will not forgive mistakes. It will be a good match

What an exciting game!!! 5 goals and a team that goes through to the next round with this sensational win today and holland are probably not out of the tournament yet. They have 4 points and a good chance of a place in the last 16. But 4 goals were scored in the second 45 minutes, that was a half i love to see and i hope we see a lot more of that now. Holland have a great team, you have to beat them first, so is Austria a favorite for at least the semi-finals? I think so. Im watching england vs slovenia now and i think england will show their real strength today.

Unexpectedly, Austria managed to reduce the Dutch's ferocity after ending the match with a score of 3-2. The Netherlands were unable to develop their game throughout the match because Austria played very neatly which made it difficult for the Dutch players to find gaps. This victory meant that Austria managed to emerge as Group champion with six points from three games, while the Netherlands had to settle for being in third place with four points.

The Netherlands had to settle for qualifying as the best third place and they will meet the group winners in the round of 16. The results that have just been achieved by the Netherlands have further narrowed their chances of qualifying for the next round because even facing a team like Austria they were unable to win, especially when they met the group winners in the knock-out round.

Netherlands will finish the stage as one of the best third-placed teams most probably but they can't do much with this poor defending. Congrats to Austria on their bold game which resulted in even finishing Group D in 1st place.  

It's amazing that the strongest and highest scored team in the group got a draw with Poland and that would've been 1-0 for Poland if not for that penalty kick, while the second strongest (the Netherlands) got destroyed by Austria.

If someone were to bet on these teams before the first group match, they'd score France the highest, then Netherlands and Austria third and the final score is completely different.

From Poland's perspective it also looks completely weird since they lost the hardest vs Austria that used to be considered their easiest match, but got 1-1 with France that should've been the hardest.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Austria and the Netherlands showed today how to play football and I think this is the most effective and tense match of the tournament so far and Austria's 3:2 win puts them on top of the group. The Netherlands with 4 points are in 3rd place and most likely will be in the top 4 teams, which will also go to the playoffs.
France is now in 2nd place and I think Deschamps' team will compete with Southgate's England team, whose team will be more boring.
France made the playoffs by scoring only 1 goal and that was a penalty!
With the Netherlands France played a draw without goals, in the match with Austria the Austrians scored an auto-goal and only with Poland Mbappe could score a goal from a penalty.

So we can call group D the fiercest group this week where the 2 favorite teams failed to win the match and I don't think that Netherlands will be in 3rd place or Austria who is at the top of the group, Netherlands has to compete with 5 other teams who are in 3rd place to get the 3rd best position but fortunately 4 of the 6 teams in 3rd place will qualify this means that Netherlands has a big opportunity because so far they meets that category.

In another match between Denmark vs Serbia this is a battle for 2nd place while England is certain to have secured first place and this is the deciding match, Denmark dominated the match throughout the first half which in my opinion is just waiting for the right time to score a goal, the same thing in the England match and that didn't give Slovenia a chance.

[Kavelj22]

Throughout the first half of the England-Slovenia match, it was noted that the England team found it difficult to penetrate the Slovenian defense and approach the goal. The only chance was in the 40th minute, as a result of a corner kick that the English attackers did not exploit well.
On the other hand, the Slovenian team played with great performance despite the pressure from the English attackers, who found no solution other than long balls.

The first half ended without extra time. I expect that the English will correct the mistakes of the first half after they understood the way the Slovenians play, and they are likely to score the first goal in the first minutes of the second half.

Football is no longer as predictable as it used to be. Some teams can make big surprises. A similar thing happened in the Georgia-Czechia match, and although the Czech Republic came very close to scoring a goal in the last minute, they were not successful. If they had been able to score that goal, maybe they would have had a chance to come third in the group, but now we see that they are in such a situation that their chances of getting out are almost non-existent. This tournament produces unpredictable results

[MK-74]

There were really many different things that happened in Group D.
Austria finished the group as the leader, France came in 2nd and the Netherlands came in 3rd.

Austria-Netherlands match was nice and enjoyable and Austria won the match.

France-Poland match ended in a 1-1 draw. Thus, France finished the group in 2nd place.
Poland was eliminated from the European Cup.

[Radek4921]

Today's match between Poland and France in group D is actually a confirmation that in football it is difficult to predict that something will definitely happen. The Polish team, doomed to destruction, was at times much better than France; the French only woke up at the end of the first half. The second one wasn't much better. Overall, France seemed like a lethargic team and didn't really care about winning. Perhaps they are saving their strength for the knockout stages.

It is difficult to understand Southgate's strategy at the Euros this time. In the first half, England had almost 70% ball possession, but Slovenia had a good defense with the winning side of the duel. The ongoing second round is also not much different. Slovenia was still quite good at defending even though the English team was in control with ball possession of 85%.

I think Slovenia will try hard to get a draw if the opportunity to get points cannot be realized. However, Slovenia's hard efforts will be in vain if Dernmark elsewhere wins over Serbia.

At the moment the draw is good for Slovenia, but the score of the other match is very important. There have been no goals in either match so far. Even though England are clearly superior, they are having a hard time creating positions. Even if they got into a few positions, I would expect more scoring chances despite playing so much ball. I think Slovenia is playing its best game against England because there are big differences between the two squads.

What a game! Honestly, the Austria-Netherlands match was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining matches of Euro 2024. There were many chances and many goals. Austria managed a remarkable upset by beating the Netherlands 3-2 and securing the top spot in Group D. The Netherlands finished third in the group. We truly longed for matches like this.

Definitely the most active match so far in this competition and this is because the whole atmosphere of the game was so hyped filled with so much heat and goals. Austria was indeed at their game as they won the game beyond everyone expectations and they even lead the group leaving the Netherlands with all they can hope for.

It's almost the end of the match and both teams have zero goals. England has become weaker and weaker every match day and it isn't very comfortable for them. If they do not win today's match the competition will become harder for them and of cause they won't survive the next round because if they can't face a team like this and win successfully how will they face teams like Spain, France, Croatia, and other strong teams in the tournament. 

Slovenia has done their best in this competition and luck has been on their side for a long time. Their defense has been something that needs to be applauded for their consistency.
