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

[Jossque]

Portugal vs France ended without a goal. After the two teams failed to score in extra time, the match went to penalties to decide the winner. France advanced to the next round on penalties. Portugal had more possession in the match but France had a richer match in terms of goal positions. To be honest, it was a boring match. It was probably the last European Championship for Ronaldo. We can say that his national team career is over.

[KTChampions]

Spain was the better team overall and they won. The VAR checked the supposed handball and decided it was not worth a penalty.

The same with the France vs Portugal, it was not as exciting as the previous quarterfinal but France surely was the better team. Even though non scored, France advanced through penalty shootout.

For today, England vs Switzerland would be the best match. England is always a good team and Switzerland has upped their game this time. It would be a competitive one.

I would like to know specifically what France was better at in this tournament. They didn't score (reaching the semi-finals) a single field goal. I’m not saying that they are unfairly moving on, but I am sure that there is no need to look for logic in the lottery results. Yesterday France was just luckier.
As for the possible penalty in the game Germany - Spain, the referee could well have awarded it: this rule is very subjective and the fact that Kukurela’s hand was in the path of the ball was his fault; if the hand had been pressed to the body, there would have been no questions.

Sad for Portugal and Ronaldo that he wasn't able to take his team in the semi finals. Sometimes the penalties are cruel for one team as i thought Portugal played a better game but in the end, it was France who made it to the semis.

Mbappé with the protective mask be again be seen in action in the next match.
France will play with Spain in the Semi finals and remember Spain is that team who eliminated the hosts Germany.  I really wanted to see Germany progress but sometimes wishes do not come true.

England vs Switzerland will be the first action of the day. England were one of the favorites of this tournament before the tournament but they didn't perform well in the tournament. I think they were below expectations. Southgate is criticized a lot. I think there is justified criticism against him. Because they have a very good squad. But they cannot show a performance equivalent to this squad. On the other hand, Murat Yakın and Switzerland are one of the best teams in the tournament. I expect them to surprise England in this match. But I will bet on both teams to score.

England favorite? Hmmm for me that's too way off because from the start of this competition I have always known that england were going to be one of the struggling ones and this is because they have never been convincing in their style of play, I don't know how they have managed to even squeeze their selves to this round but what I do know is that Switzerland is certainly a big and major threat for them.

How England have managed to walk through into the semifinals stage is truly unbelievable if we are to juxtaposition them with their performance in every of the games they have played so far. Maybe they just haven't met with the team that will really unclad them to their underperformance with shocking scores of defeat.

Not that England don't have the talented players for them to be in frontline of this tournament as potential winner but it all seems that there is a large gap of connection and coordination between the players on the pitch. And Southgate hasn't been making the game any better with his choice of starting X1, Cole Palmer still not starting in today's match despite how the young lad has been so effective coming from bench. I think Southgate needs to understand he's playing with a Switzerland team that dissembled the Italian team defense just within the first 45 minutes of official playing time which is why I had expected he was going to do things differently starting with his first X1.

This is the worst and most boring match in the quarter finals as there was no shot on target by both teams and their goalkeeper didn't have any ball to save but just relaxing because of weak strikers. England as usu took dominaceof the first half but they couldn't create a better chance of finding the back of the net. Switzerland was on the defensive side because they are being careful and don't want to make any mistakes because England is in charge of the midfield. I don't know what will be the outcome of the second half and I hope that it will be interesting.

Exactly, despite England having good squad but yet they haven't shown any signs of professionalism in their play and honestly, for England to reach this stage of the competition it still Marvels me because they didn't play like a team that want to move further in this competition. Just imagine this line up of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Declan Rice and Phil Foden this are high profile players in their respective leagues but apart from Saka, Phil Foden and Harry Kane the rest are not showing any good performance. Currently they are playing a goaless draw in the first half of the quarter finals between them and Switzerland and I was expecting that England must have been leading by now but yet no goal yet. Though the Switzerland side are proven hard to win because I remembered the match between them and Germany, they played real good football that day.
 Seems all the quarter finals matches will end in halftime draw and possibly full-time draw as it happened in the matches played yesterday but let's await the final outcome of England - Switzerland match and the later game between Netherlands and Turkey

@Ondekinecakabilirim is very much right, England was considered the favorites of the tournament because of the overall value of the players when compared to the rest, and they pretty much had a much easier path to get out of the groups and hopefully get to the finals...but we all have watched what a sh*ty game it's been for this star rated team has been giving us below average performances and a bit of luck that has got them this far!

Already playing against the Swiss, as expected the draw Queens(England) can't find the back of the net, and if you ask me given a chance for Switzerland to express themselves...I don't see England progressing but let's see how the game unfolds.

Sad for Portugal and Ronaldo that he wasn't able to take his team in the semi finals. Sometimes the penalties are cruel for one team as i thought Portugal played a better game but in the end, it was France who made it to the semis.

It's going to be a blockbuster of a game, but I have a feeling Spain could go all the way to win it because they are getting the goals in open play and avoiding the penalty shoots which tend to be 50-50...which for me says this is a team with a plan on how to win the tournament!

France were opportune to qualify after a tough fight against Portugal, both the teams were very good in the match and they were all cautious by avoiding coinciding unnecessary goals which they both achieved that, but Penalty Shootout decides their faith.

England Vs Switzerland match is still going on, the match is still goalless at half time, and the England team looks serious today even though they are finding it difficult to score a goal.

I am in support of England in this game, because I feel like if they qualify, they will make the competition more tough.

[letteredhub]

England vs Switzerland, first half 0-0.

With both team not been able to have a shot on target on this game it's so much to wait for tonthe second half. Although England had a lot of possession on the game but where no where with it. There was an up leveled confidence with England on this one with their performance despite not with any goal, compared to their previous games.

Switzerland on the other hand, has been without any significant opportunity so far with their persistent overloading crosses.

Let's see what could make up of the second half.

[Mr.right85]

Spain was the better team overall and they won. The VAR checked the supposed handball and decided it was not worth a penalty.

I’m not saying that they are unfairly moving on, but I am sure that there is no need to look for logic in the lottery results. Yesterday France was just luckier.

I don’t know how anyhow would see France to have been good in this tournament. Perhaps you would want to categorize them for a team that seats back and hold the game, waiting for there opponents to score the goal for them or perhaps gift them a penalty because, that’s all that could be said about France in this tournament. Talking about a team that is gifted with so many talents in its rank and some of the best qualities football could find, they haven’t been able to score a single on field goal. I had hoped Portugal gets to advance tomorrow, for the two elite players on CR7 and Pepe to advance but, the bar saw J. Felix’s penalty kick out and Diogo Costa couldn’t come up with any incredible saves from the spot penalty spot kick. He was great through the game but, not this time against a more formidable foe.

Something to note however,
We’ve all managed to be losing on a chance to get a first half bet result in the quarter finals of this Euro. It’s been a win market across all played games so far in the Euro 2024. You’ll find the old for first half draw to be about 2 odds on almost all bookies.

Ordinarily, you would expect this odd to be higher but, given the likelihood of the possible outcome, it’s dropped. At the moment, Stake.com has placed the first half market odd for a draw between Netherlands vs Türkiye to be 2.42, Duelbits.com has it at 2.41, Fortunejack.com has it at 2.32. You can reference a couple of gambling site you play at for the odds.

England vs Switzerland already delivered a first half draw market result. At this stage of the competition, no team wants to make any mistakes. It’s all playing safe while hoping to capitalize on any chances as it’s provided but, no team have done a great job at it.

England vs Switzerland match looks very boring to me. I expected to see a competitive match. But the overall performance of both the teams is very poor. England and Switzerland played very slow in the first half. Although 15 minutes of the second half are over, their performance is still very slow. Neither team's players are trying to attack too much.

England's squad is not weak. Talented players like Harry Kane, Bellingham, Saka are in their squad. However, England's performance is poor. The chemistry between the players is not good. But I think the match will be a draw. And the result will be decided by penalty shootout.

The second half started more interesting, Switzerland had already made several shots on target, but the score still remained 0-0. England today does not give as much space to the Swiss national team as Italy did and we see a completely different game. In the first half I liked England more, they played more confidently, but probably this was not enough to beat Switzerland. Switzerland started the second half better and Southgate seemed fully focused on defence. The match is still boring, but England play like this in almost all matches at this Euro, and I expected more attacking football from Switzerland, it looks like they are starting to wake up in the second half...

[Bitcoin_people]

England are currently trying hard to score and Switzerland are also attacking a lot to give England goals. A very exciting game between the two teams with both teams battling hard but neither successfully scored a goal so far. However, the attacking situation is likely to be more exciting for the England team and there are plenty of chances to score. Although England have strong stars in their squad, they have not been able to mount a successful attack against Switzerland so far. However today's game will be penalty shootout if no goal is scored till the last minute and in penalty shootout each team can win depending on luck. In that case, if England's luck is good in today's match, they can win and if Switzerland's luck is good, they can enter the semi-finals.

If I may say so, this match was really boring. I thought yesterday's match between Portugal and France was the most boring match but today we saw another boring match.
The ball was mostly in the middle of the pitch, both teams were short on chances and even the on target chances were really poor.

For Switzerland this might be a normal situation because they will definitely be a bit defensive, but for England they should be better than this because after all they are a champion candidate even compared to other national teams in the quarter-finals this time they are the team that has the greatest probability of winning. But with the game they had it really doesn't reflect a team that has a strong probability of winning the Europa this time.

[ajiz138]

England-Switzerland match will start soon, it will be a competitive match. I don't think England is very good, Switzerland is one of the surprise teams this year.

I think the most important match of the night will be Netherlands-Turkey, let's see how this match will end.

England's game is the same as before there is no significant change, so far the match has not been scored but England does not have an on shot target the English players are always not in the right position when they are in front of the opponent's goal.

We expect this match to be 0-0 until Full Time plus possible extra time.

edit: Switzerland 1-0 England

Netherlands vs Turkey is probably going to be an interesting match, usually there are always goals for Netherlands - Turkey matches rather than Switzerland vs England which is a bit boring but we have to watch this until the end.

England starts playing again only when something needs to be corrected, they were able to equalize the score and after that they play much more actively, trying not to bring the game to additional extra periods. After all, so far all the quarterfinal matches have been continued with additional halfs, and this match seems not to be an exception. At the end of the match, everything changed and now Switzerland plays more carefully, mainly in defense, perhaps relying on Sommer.

Saka magic moment was on the 80th minutes which put them back to the game. The goal was the first shot on target telling how bad the match has being for England today. England won their last match that entended to 30 minutes extra time, will this match be the same for them.

After 30 minutes, if non of them are able to score, it will be a penalty shootout but I am seeing Switzerland trying to see how they can win the match without playing penalties.

England team lacks a good decisive coach. The match formation wasn't anything to write home about. But, recently after the Switzerland goal, England made some meaningful changes which I think empowered Saka to equalize the game. The games are quite boring because of the expectations we have on England and the other teams like Portugal. These are strong teams, but their performances are below the expectation. Not that viewers placed a high expectance. Yet, I'd say that these teams are being matched with other competent teams of equal level of skill which don't allow one party to perform extremely well as expected. I still wonder why the England coach have not been sanctioned for his blunders.

England don't change. Even if they reach the semi finals I don't expect Southgate to make any changes. He is like Deschamps about that. He is also the same, preferring a boring football for France.  

Anyways, now we are in extra time. When Switzerland scored first I was like "What if Switzerland win unlike Slovakia in regular time?". But a short time after Saka scored a lovely goal. As of extra time England might come one step forward but let's see.

When it comes to Netherlands - Turkey, I agree. It is quite likely to see many goals. The last 2 head-to-heads ended by 6-7 goals. It shouldn't be surprising to see 3 or 4 goals in this one.

It’s a little bit disappointing of them and how they’ve handled the tournament so far but, it’s how Southgate has designed has designed his team to play. It ain’t short of anything deliberate give how he reacted to the Embolo goal which pushed him to his bench for some substitute and 5 minutes after, Bukayo Saka produces a tournament specials goal.

The Switzerland team however have been able to perfect but having to defend and go forward quite well in this game. They look more dangerous around the England’s goalkeepers box than we can say of England when they are around the Swiss goalkeepers box.

Another draw for the quarter finals in the Euros, so much for missed 3+ odds in this road. It makes me wonder what the semi finals would hold. Are we going to be seeing this much draws?

The england goalkeeper is a very experienced goalkeeper and it will be very good for switzerland if they are able to win this game before penalty kick. Some of the players of england are the main penalty takers for their respective teams so they are very much experienced in taking penalty kicks then the players in switzerland.

Extra time games are usually the game where the team that wins is a team that wants to win the most and the team that have the energy and the resilience to fight for the winning until the last minute.

Spain beat Germany on extra time yesterday because they showed more energy and show that they really wanted to win the game. Switzerland can beat England if they go all out in this extra time and try to make sure that the game does not get to penalties.
