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

[snipie]

Belgium got a draw against Ukraine and ended second so they have to face France in the next stage. Great news for them, they failed to win against the mediocre teams they faced in the group stage and they have now to face one of the favorite nations to win the title..

Group F matches are quite weird. Georgia made some good attempts, scored a goal in the first half then surprise! They added a second goal from a penalty and they seem to end this match with a victory and qualification eventually! Hopefully they will not collapse at the end of the game.
Turkiye is struggling to score more goals against a team playing with 10 players since the beginning of the match.. That could match cost them the second place and even the qualification..

Yes that's right. Georgia scored a fast goal in this fight, the goal was scored by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the goal was very impressive, this was the result of good cooperation with Mikautadze. So in my opinion the goal is not a luck, they are truly effective in utilizing opportunities. Georgia if they want to meet the requirements to qualify they have to score again, and hope Turkey will draw until the end of the fight, then Georgia can meet the requirements. But as you said this is a little difficult because Portugal is not an easy team. So far, Portugal is trying to score this goal, it is proven that Portugal controls the course of the match, only a few opportunities that cannot be executed properly.

I think in the second half Portugal coach will make a change in the strategy to be able to score goals, Portugal in this fight will target victory because with this victory their confidence will increase while undergoing the match in the last 16. In this match I bet for Portugal's victory, so I am still optimistic that Portugal can make a comeback in the second half.

Instead of scoring a goal to equalize, Portugal actually made a mistake in the penalty area which made the referee award a penalty to Georgia. Georges Mikautadze, who was the executioner, did not waste any opportunities and now Georgia is 2-0 ahead of Portugal. Portugal's job to score 2 goals to avoid defeat will certainly be difficult now, but victory may not be what they are most looking for in this match.

Even though in this match Portugal lost to Georgia, in essence Portugal has secured its place in the round of 16. Georgia is trying to qualify for the next round with a high score in this match, but it also feels like it will be difficult in my opinion. Meanwhile, Turkey is also 1-0 ahead of the Czechs and this will be good for them who also secured their place in qualifying for the round of 16.

The lost of this match does not have any impact on Portugal but I never expected that Georgia will be able to win Portugal and qualify with them to the round of 16, because there last two matches was a lost and a draw with just one point. This is a good result for Georgia.

On the other hand, Czechia and Turkiye are still on a 1-1 draw, I don't know if Georgia will still qualify to the round of 16. This is because they are both on 4 points each on Group F. Maybe both of them will qualify to the round of 16, one one them will qualify as best losers. This group is complicated and only Czechia is weak.

It's now impossible for Portugal to win or even draw this game. It's 80+ minutes of play and Portugal is still behind with 2 goals down. Luckily for them, they have already secured the first spot in the table and there qualification to next round is guaranteed regardless of whether they win or lose this game. Although, I'm not too impressive with their performance as they are not playing as they started. On the other hand, Turkiye and Czechia are now playing draw and it seems the game is likely to end with that scoreline as they have played the regular 90 minutes and now on the extra time. If all games should end as it's currently, Portugal and Turkiye will advance to next round of the tournament.

On what criteria will Turkey lead Georgia if their both matches ended like this?

If they will use goal difference, I think Georgia should top them, because they have goal difference of zero while Turkey if they ended like this will have goal difference of -1.

But, if they will use head to head to judge it, Turkey will qualify ahead of Georgia.

Edit:
Turkey late goal secure them a spot ahead of Georgia.

These are no surprises, yet another confirmation that the tournament format was invented by fucking bastards.
In what universe does Georgia beat Portugal and become higher than the Czech Republic? Only in the one where the group stage is very similar to friendly games.
If we make groups of 6 teams and from each group 5 teams make it to the playoffs, then we will see even more “surprises”

Meanwhile, Turkey is also 1-0 ahead of the Czechs and this will be good for them who also secured their place in qualifying for the round of 16.

As Portugal won the first two matches. So we already knew that Portugal qualified for the Round of 16. However, since today's match was relatively weak, we expected Portugal to win all three matches in the group stage and qualify for the round of 16. But Portugal lost today's match by 2-0.

After seeing Portugal's starting XI, I don't dare to bet Portugal to win this match. Because most of the experienced players in Portugal's squad were rested by Portugal's coach today. He did not want to take any risk. So Ronaldo was the only experienced player in the squad. Portugal's defense was also quite weak today. This is why Portugal lost today. Moreover, we don't get a good performance from Ronaldo today. If Bruno and Silva were in the squad today, Portugal would not have lost the match 2-0.

[baeva]

The Georgia vs Portugal match has just started and Georgia has already scored a goal against Portugal in the 2nd minute and the quick goal was created by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
And the match is still very long and I'm sure Ronaldo and his friends will respond to Georgia's quick goal. And I know Georgia must win this match because they still have a chance to qualify for the next round, but Portugal is also not an easy opponent for them. The early goal that Georgia scored was just luck, and the game is still very long and Portugal will definitely turn things around.

Yes that's right. Georgia scored a fast goal in this fight, the goal was scored by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the goal was very impressive, this was the result of good cooperation with Mikautadze. So in my opinion the goal is not a luck, they are truly effective in utilizing opportunities. Georgia if they want to meet the requirements to qualify they have to score again, and hope Turkey will draw until the end of the fight, then Georgia can meet the requirements. But as you said this is a little difficult because Portugal is not an easy team. So far, Portugal is trying to score this goal, it is proven that Portugal controls the course of the match, only a few opportunities that cannot be executed properly.

I think in the second half Portugal coach will make a change in the strategy to be able to score goals, Portugal in this fight will target victory because with this victory their confidence will increase while undergoing the match in the last 16. In this match I bet for Portugal's victory, so I am still optimistic that Portugal can make a comeback in the second half.

Yes, it was very unexpected, Turkey snatched victory, Georgia won. Everything was literally hanging by a thread, in the last minutes Turkey played, in my opinion, very aggressively, so they had every chance to score a goal, and they did. Overall they could have been in a better position, but I think it is not critical for them. For Georgia it is literally a holiday, because when they can reach the 1/8th, and even beat the former European champions.

This particular loss by Portugal was a shocker to me because I never really expected them to lose despite the fact that they have already qualified for the next round atleast finishing the group with a clear stand would have been better than losing shamelessly to Georgia, well kudos to Georgia for a match well played and also finishing with 4 points, as this competition is concerned I believe there are no longer any small nations to under rate.

Turkiya was able to put sorrow in Georgia players as they scored a dying minutes goal on the 90+4 minutes of extra time to take the lead. The goal was scored C. Tosun. Turkiya was able to finish at first on the table with 7 points and Portugal 6 points. 17 yellow card was booked and 2 red cards in the match between Czechia and Turkiya.

This means that with all Georgia effort today they were still unable to qualify to the round of 16. I don't think that Geogia had ever qualified to the round of 16.

[Unknown01]

After Turkey qualified for the next round, they are our opponents. Austria is currently stronger than ever and to be honest I don't see any chance for Turkey to beat our team because today they only managed to win against the Czechs by a narrow margin, even though they played 70 minutes with one red card.

In the end Portugal lost 2-0 to Georgia and this made Georgia qualify for the round of 16. Turkey also managed to win in injury time through Cenk Tosun's beautiful goal at 90+4, meaning there were 3 teams from group F who qualified for the round of 16.

For now, we can see the schedule for the round of 16 where there are several matches where it is very easy to determine the favorite. But whatever it is, sometimes the favorites can lose like Portugal today. Here's the round of 16:

Switzerland vs Italy
Germany vs Denmark
England vs Slovakia
Spain vs Georgia
France vs Belgium
Portugal vs Slovenia
Romania vs Netherlands
Austria vs Türkiye

Well the surprise in the last match happened again after the last few days we have always been surprised by some unexpected results beforehand which of course this makes the Euro condition quite impressive and indeed we cannot predict for sure.
Portugal played well and I don't want to deny that either but Georgia was completely unexpected. An all out attack in the first half saw them take a quick lead that saw their confidence grow as the game went on. In addition, I think in this match Willy Sagnol played his role very well on the sidelines where he managed to give good instructions and the Georgian players were also quite calm even though if we look at the whole game we can see that Portugal's attacks are like waves that continue without knowing time but with the solidity of the Georgian players and good teamwork, they managed to double the score and kill the game in today's match.

Portugal did not suffer a loss but indeed they had to be willing that full points in the group phase were lost but in contrast to Georgia where this victory automatically made them qualify for the next phase because they got the 3rd best ranking in the euro this time. Of course it is a very good achievement for Georgia.

You are right. Austria is clearly stronger than our team and we must turn this to our advantage. Austria is considered the favorite by everyone. As Türkiye, we should be on the field to have fun. If we play without stress, maybe we have a chance. What will affect us deeply is that Hakan Çalhanoğlu will be suspended and will not play. The management of the midfield was in his hands. That's why we will have a hard time against Austria.

[boltz]

What a day to be Romanian and I'm so proud to be one because this national team really won our Group and they did it with fashion. Now, next step is to face Holland and with a bit of luck I can say with confidence we can eliminate them and move even further in Euro 2024 because Romania really has a great team. 

[Nheer]

It’s too early to make such predictions because nothing is impossible. They have the advantage already with 4 points but losing can be costly. I went through the standings and saw some teams already with some points that if they end up winning their final game they could go level Netherlands 4 points and might progress with tie breaker.

I didn't make a prediction. I talked about a simple math and how it proves that Netherlands has already qualified for the next round. As I said, whatever happens, Netherlands will advance to the knockout stage.
Netherlands has 4 points and even if they finish third, they will be one the 4 best third-placed teams. Take note that all matches of groups A and B have ended and whatever happens, Netherlands will have higher points than the third-placed teams of those groups.

Seems your math worked out perfectly but then it was a close call as i also predicted. I was waiting till the final match of the group stage to reply to this post. I know you were not wrong but i just wanted to prove a point to you that anything can still happen and that you can’t just conclude that Netherlands have qualified already because they have 4 points. They have more advantage of advancing but look what happened today, Georgia pulled a stunt that surprised everyone today, they won Portugal with 2 goals to none and almost took the best loser spot. football is a very unpredictable sport at times and anything can happen.

[Zusje]

Today Portugal match was really bad, of course not it was tiring, obviously without motivation, it's a pity that Ronaldo didn't score, but the level of refereeing was below criticism.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Nice job! It was really good to put an end by a win against Czechia.    However did we play decently? I don't think so. Even against a team down by one player, we had big problems on getting an advantageous score.

Austria are indeed way better than us. I watched their Netherlands game and I was really impressed. They have no mercy against teams with problems in their defense. We are quite vulnerable in this area so this makes me nervous.    Our main target was to qualify for last 16. But I hope we can do more than this. Next time, please be more careful with your choices Montella... This squad can be used more effectively in 4-2-3-1 formation again.

[HajiBagi]

We are not seeing the expected good performances from the big and renowned teams in this year's Euros. England, Italy, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Portugal all performed poorly. England, Italy, Belgium and Netherlands have won only one out of their 3 matches. Each team has a strong squad but fails to perform well against relatively weaker teams.



Portugal team is now playing against Georgia. Despite having talented players like JoaoFelix, Ronaldo and Danilo in the squad, Portugal is not able to perform well against a weak side like Georgia. However, Portugal won the first two matches by a large margin. Portugal won with a big margin of 3-0 against Turkey. However, Ronaldo's Belgium team is not playing well against Georgia today.

What a poor performance from Portugal today, although Portugal has already been qualified, but to be honest, I’m not happy with their performance today, Portugal changed all their starting players and played the players who don’t have experience in the league, the only player that plays in the game is Ronaldo and he also is having a bad game, those young players of Portugal can not help the team and we have seen their performance today, now that we all will believe that Portugal old players are still important for Portugal, a player like Pepe, Bruno, and silva are very important to be in the match.

I think the reason why the coach decided to change all the players that used to play for the team is that they have already qualified for another stage of the tournament, and with this poor performance, the coach will know what he is going to do because bringing those young players to play in the round of 16 will let Portugal to be eliminated from the tournament and that won’t sound good if Portugal was been eliminated from the tournament in the round of 16.

But, if they will use head to head to judge it, Turkey will qualify ahead of Georgia.

Edit:
Turkey late goal secure them a spot ahead of Georgia.

Georgia performance tonight really surprised me. Georgia won Portugal that comfortably won both Turkey and Czechia. Football is really unpredictable sometimes, sincerely speaking I never saw this Georgia win coming. Despite Turkey late win that helped them secure second place, Georgia still made it to the round of 16 where they will face Spain on Sunday. They should celebrate their win and get ready for Sunday, if they can pull this kind of result on Sunday and win Spain, then people will start taking them serious. I don't know what went wrong in the Portuguese team tonight, maybe they considered the match as irrelevant, because I'm still struggling to understand why Portugal couldn't score a team like Georgia. I know Sunday will be a different story for Georgia because Spain won't give them that opportunity they enjoyed in their victory against Portugal.
