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

[Solokan]

Portugal's match against Slovenia was really tense and according to my observations Slovenia played very well because it made it difficult for Portugal to score goals in normal time and of course last night I was really worried because my idol team, namely Portugal, would fail to make it to the quarter-finals but fortunately Portugal was able to ended the match beautifully even though it ended with a penalty and won it and now Portugal has advanced to the quarter-finals and of course Portugal must be really careful for the next match because of course Portugal's next opponent will be France which of course France is not an opponent that will be easy to beat. overthrow.

If you look at Portugal's performance, of course it can still be said to be good, but of course Roberto Martinez needs to do something to make Portugal's squad better in the upcoming match because of course if Portugal can't improve its performance then of course it will be difficult to beat France in the quarter-final match.

but I personally still support Portugal to win in the quarter-finals. What do you think about Portugal's prediction against France in the quarter-finals? but I think Portugal will have the potential to win against France and of course there will definitely be fierce competition.

[Uruhara]

Ronaldo is already old, he should retire from the national team and give way to younger players, the guy has already achieved everything in Europe, I don't understand why someone who has already achieved everything in Europe and is very old is competing with newcomers or others players on the national team are the closest and there is not even a day for him to retire, which means he will play in the world cup, this could demotivate other younger players who are in Ronaldo's position, because these younger players will be sitting on the bench

Well he should retire. but I'm happy to still see him at the Euros this time even though this is his last. But if you look at the way Cristiano Ronaldo plays then you will understand that he even plays more effectively than the young players there. I'm sure the Portuguese coach understands the situation of the Portuguese national team better. And I think he was called there because he deserved it. Not only is Cristiano Ronaldo old there but he still plays. but there is also Pepe who is even older than Cristiano Ronaldo. And if you see how Pepe plays at the back then you will understand that he is still a better defender than some of the young defenders that Portugal has. But yes, the Portuguese coach also forced Cristiano Ronaldo too hard to stay on the field even until extra time. And for players who are old, it will indeed be very ineffective to continue playing while tired. So time should also be given to the young players there.

[Silence Scream]

After Ronaldo missed a penalty many people shouted that Ronaldo is not a good player, although we all know that Ronaldo is getting old when it comes to penalty play Ronaldo is the best, no player can not miss a penalty,

Actually I never expected Ronaldo to miss the penalty because if they are given a breakdown of the players that are very good with penalty of course Ronaldo will be there because he is known to be very good with penalty but it was unfortunate that he had to miss the penalty, though the reason why people are talking about it too much is because of what Ronaldo represent in the world of soccer so people always have a very high expectation from him, though I wouldn't blame him on the penalty he missed because no matter how perfect someone would be in the game of football there is no way to guarantee 100% perfect all the time, however had it been that Portugal managed to win Ronaldo wouldn't have been very happy with himself.

It was sad that Ronaldo missed the penalty, but what do you think about Pepe's mistake in extra time? If Sesko had shot the ball a little better, it would have been a goal, but Costa saved the ball there too. In my opinion, Costa played one of his career matches last night. I saw players who gave everything for Portugal and played with heart. I hope they have good luck against France.

So far Portugal has only played against very weak teams but they performed very poorly, if they win this Euro it will be thanks to luck

~snip

and put Ronaldo in the starting lineup. In my opinion Ronaldo should retire from the national team, but Portugal wants to create a hero

I agree with everything you wrote, it really doesn't make sense to keep these players on the bench, Portugal has luck on its side, but that luck won't last forever, Cristiano Ronaldo's crying is almost the player's last act in major tournaments. Despite being a legendary player, the weight of age is starting to show, he could be a second-half player, or change position... it will be very difficult for Portugal to survive any longer in this competition.

[Majestic-milf]

 I don't think Portugal should be seen as a threat in this tournament if the Coach, Roberto Martinez thinks it's wise to keep starting Ronaldo. They've got a bucket load of good players like @slow death mentioned but they don't get that opportunity instead, get preferred over a 38 yr old Ronaldo who has lost his form, rather waiting for his teammates to always give him the ball and when he doesn't get it, he throws tantrums. At this rate, her only drag the team down with this selfish attitude of his.
 Imagine struggling against small teams, when they get paired up with a team like Austra for instance, that means they won't even have any hopes of winning. The games yesterday were so boring, France managed to win at regular time thanks to an own goal from Vertonghen in the 85' and Portugal won on penalties. So disappointing!

Diego Costa really was a hero in that match. And not only when he was the savior in the penalty shootout by successfully parrying 3 Slovenian players' shots. but Diego Costa was also the hero when the Slovenian beat Pepe in extra time. Which makes the Slovenian player face to face with Diego Costa. but Diego Costa managed to stop it well. So in that match Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo were definitely the players who were most grateful to Diego Costa. Pepe almost made a mistake that could have given Slovenia a goal but Diego Costa was the hero there. And Ronaldo almost made Portugal win with a penalty shot but Ronaldo didn't succeed in turning his shot into a goal. And Diego Costa saved Portugal in the penalty shootout in the end. It was a match that was goalless in normal time and in extra time. and victory is only determined in a penalty shootout. But it was a very exciting and quite tense match. Slovenia also deserves appreciation for their very solid and disciplined defense.

In the quarter-finals Portugal will face France. And it will indeed be a more difficult match for both of them. And I'm not sure which one will be favored for that match.

For more than 90 minutes plus extra time, Portugal tried to break down Slovenia solid defense, especially since they had Oblak who managed to perform brilliantly with his saves. However if it is a penalty shootout, of course this match is difficult to predict because we were surprised by Diego Costa 3 fantastic saves. Oblak was also able to save the goal in the 90 minutes plus extra time because we saw in the 2 rounds the various efforts made by the Portuguese players, the left and right sides were still unable to break into the goal. Oblak also managed to save Ronaldo penalty kick, so in my opinion apart from Diego Costa who is Portugal hero in the Slovenian team there is Oblak who has so far succeeded in holding back Portugal attacks. However the final result was on Portugal side and they deserved to qualify to face France in the next round.

The last meeting between Portugal and France at the 2021 European Cup ended in a draw while they were still in Group F. Now it is a deciding event where one of them must come out as the winner.

Oblak made a lot of saves in this match, otherwise Portugal would have won in regulation time. It was not Ronaldo's day, he was a lot greedy with free kicks, he should have shared with Fernandes, if you see that you are not doing well, then share with others, it was a little selfish on Ronaldo's part, but he behaved like a leader and this is his decision with whom none of the players argued. And of course it is worth noting Costa, who showed a phenomenal flair in the penalty shootout.

All Cristiano Ronaldo fans were worried about yesterday's match against Slovenia because no one expected it to be much tougher than it was. Slovenia played a more defensive game, making it difficult for Portugal to score throughout the game. The last time Portugal met Slovenia, they lost by two goals. I don't think we should underestimate any team in this tournament because they all take their games seriously. The Portugal coach was at fault. I don't see why he has to bench João Felix except he is injured, He is an amazing player, and I expected him to bring Felix after Leão was taken off in the 76th minute.

However, no matter what Portugal overcame yesterday against Slovenia, I will continue to support them in their next match. France, on the other hand, is not as tough as some of us think and they will make it difficult for Portugal. France also wasted several chances to score against Belgium, despite having young players. In my opinion, Portugal has a better chance of winning than France.

I saw the performance of Portugal players in the whole match. There is no doubt that the players of Portugal have performed well in this match. I thought Portugal's players could score in extra time. But Slovenia's defenders also played very well in this match. So Portugal's players could not score a single goal even after attacking a lot. Although Portugal dominated the entire match, we did not see any goals in the match.

Portugal will face France in the quarter finals. With the way France have been performing recently, I think Portugal is the favorite in this match. France has a strong squad, but this team is not able to perform well.

It should not be forgotten that if they have difficulty scoring goals, as in the Georgia match, France's very effective offensive players can be punished with their individual talents. Portugal consists of very talented players, but they are like bees that do not make honey. They can't score goals, but they create plenty of positions. The France match is a dangerous match, but both teams can win this match. We will witness the match of two equal teams.

[Barcode_]

Even though Slovenia are clearly the underdogs in their match against Portugal yesterday, but the players of Slovenia still fought bravely against Portugal and even managed to force the game into a penalties shootout but Portugal is still clearly the better team to progress to play against France in the quarter finals.

Netherlands are quite lucky to progress to the round of 16 via the ranking of third placed teams as they only managed to finish at the 3rd spot in Group D. Their luck are still looking great as they will play against Romania and I think Netherlands should be able to beat Romania without the need to go into extra time today.

[Solokan]

After Ronaldo missed a penalty many people shouted that Ronaldo is not a good player, although we all know that Ronaldo is getting old when it comes to penalty play Ronaldo is the best, no player can not miss a penalty,

Of course, many people were disappointed with Ronaldo in Portugal's match against Slovenia because he failed to execute a penalty kick and Cristiano Ronaldo usually always succeeds in executing a penalty kick, but in last night's match it was very surprising that Cristiano Ronaldo failed to execute a penalty kick, so in this case of course there are those who understand Cristiano Ronaldo's failure to execute a penalty kick and others who didn't

However, if for example Cristiano Ronaldo succeeded in executing a penalty kick then of course Portugal would win without continuing with a penalty shootout. But yes, what you say is true because of course every player has times when they fail and of course we can't blame them because of course Ronaldo also wants to be successful in executing his penalty kick. but fortunately Portugal was able to win the match with a score of 3-0 on penalties and fortunately Cristiano Ronaldo was able to erase his failure because he was able to score a goal in the penalty shootout.

Now Portugal and Ronaldo fans will definitely feel relieved because their idol team is still safe and will play in the next match in the quarter-finals. Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely appear again and he will definitely try to play with maximum strength in that match.

The hate will always be there and it seems as if people immediately forget what he has done in football and still doing. Why do people make a fuss about a penalty missed, people miss penalties everday but they don’t criticize them but when it’s Ronaldo it’s easy to say he is not a good player. Missing aa penalty doesn’t justify anything it just not his day and that’s how it was meant to be.

It was sad that Ronaldo missed the penalty, but what do you think about Pepe's mistake in extra time?

Pepe’s mistake almost cost them everything but thank goodness the goalkeeper saved it else we would be seeing different headlines about how Ronaldo made Portugal lose because of the penalty. Mistakes are bound to happen and it can happen to anyone but i am hearing people saying Ronaldo and Pepe shouldn’t be included in the squad they are old, these are people that gives everything for their country and other players are learning from them.

It was a great football match to watch. Slovenia played brilliantly and should be proud. However, Portugal deserved to go to the quarter-finals because they played better. It would have been unfair for Portugal to be eliminated on penalties. Luckily Portugal is through to the quarter-finals after a shootout win over Slovenia. And whoever wins on Friday between Portugal and France will likely take the cup. It’s the final before the final.

Maybe the coach could have done a good thing by taking them when the game was extended to 120 minutes. Pepe is now very old and has difficulty keeping up with that tempo. He's not ready to play 120 minutes. I can't say the same for Ronaldo, but I think Ronaldo could last 120 minutes, he can last one more match. Also, Jan Oblak saved Ronaldo's penalty, but Ronaldo did not kick the penalty. That's why I think it remains an unfortunate moment. I think Ronaldo is a legend who should be on the field.

[BABY SHOES]

Pepe at the age of 41 played almost 120 minutes he was very weak if Pepe's mistake was not well anticipated by Diogo Costa this might be the regret of his life in his last career with Portugal, as well as Ronaldo who failed to execute the Penalty he just cried because he felt failed.

In essence Diogo Costa was the real savior in the penalty shootout able to guess 3 guesses from Slovenia, he became a hero several times if the goalkeeper was not on fire maybe Portugal had gone home.

Honestly Portugal have played poorly so far, some teams that play poorly end up winning: England, France, Portugal and Italy who fell, we'll see how the Netherlands does tonight.

It doesn't matter whether you play well or badly, what matters is getting the score. Yesterday, Portugal took many positions against Slovenia but could not score a goal. I would be very surprised if Slovenia advanced to the next round in penalties because the team that was superior throughout the match was Portugal. We will also look at tonight's matches. There are two important matches and we will see if the favorites Netherlands and Austria will surprise.

Firstly the match between Portugal and Slovenia was keenly contested and both teams showed their determination to advance to the next round but unfortunately Slovenia were eliminated at the penalty shootout. The story would have been different if Slovenia had scored the late minute one on one chance they had, but somehow Diego Costa was at his best form yesterday and he prevented the player from scoring at that close range. Same with Portugal if Ronaldo had scored the second half penalty the match wouldn't have headed into the penalty shootout.

From the penalty shootout it could be seen that Slovenia didn't prepare for penalty shootout, because they never knew that they will hold Portugal to a draw after 90 minutes and extra 30 minutes, that's why they struggled and couldn't convert one spot kick. I could see the sign of relief on Ronaldo's face after Slovenia missed their straight 3 spot kick. It could have been a sad story if Portugal had exited the tournament because Ronaldo missed the first penalty in regular time. France is definitely going to be their toughest opponent so far, they Portugal players know this and I expect them to react accordingly.

There are two important matches and we will see if the favorites Netherlands and Austria will surprise.

In the round of 16, it seems like no team can be underestimated. Everyone was able to reach this stage because they were not only lucky but they had their own advantages compared to other teams that failed. And the Slovenia vs Portugal match was quite surprising. Slovenia even put up a defense which I thought was extraordinary. They played patiently in defense and immediately made quite effective long passes which even made Portugal's defense overwhelmed several times. It's just that Slovenia also has weaknesses in taking advantage of opportunities. Meanwhile, Portugal played quite actively, but Portugal had difficulty penetrating the Slovenian defense. And Cristiano Ronaldo was also closely guarded by the Slovenian defender. So Cristiano Ronaldo also doesn't have enough space and it's difficult to get opportunities. In essence, Slovenia understands very well that they have to lock up the Portuguese forward players so that the Portuguese midfield players have difficulty passing the ball to the front line. And it worked. I saw that in the Portugal vs Slovenia match, both of them had extraordinary advantages. Portugal can also continue to press without losing concentration in defense. So even when Slovenia makes a counterattack, we can see that the Portuguese defenders can immediately handle it well. Those who watched this match will definitely agree that we must appreciate both teams. And I was amazed by Cristiano Ronaldo who was able to continue playing until the end. Because some of the other young players there already looked tired, but Cristiano Ronaldo still looked enthusiastic and encouraged the other players. He continues to encourage other players to maintain their enthusiasm. I now understand why the Portuguese coach still chooses Cristiano Ronaldo to be in the Portuguese national team because he has a positive aura there.

In today's match, I think I'm still confused about which team to favor. It's just that Austria deserves attention because we know that Austria is the group winner in Group D. Austria is ranked 1st in Group D and even France is ranked 2nd. So Austria can really be the favorite. But Türkiye is also a very strong opponent. so I'm still confused about which one to choose.

[Distraction]

Ronaldo had big issues with the goalkeeper Oblak yesterday.    He burst in tears after missing that penalty also. He is so passionate even at this age which must be a good example for other players. The savior of the day was obviously Diogo Costa. Saving 3 penalties? That's just insane man.    It must be his best match surely.


Today we have 2 matches:

• Romania - Netherlands
• Austria - Turkey

Austria and Netherlands are big favourites by bookmakers and it makes sense. Netherlands have some weaknesses in defense but I don't think they will say goodbye in this round.

When it comes to our match against Austria, our job is very difficult.    I hope Montella prefers better strategies this time. If we play the same we have a quite small chance.
