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

Today was a bad gambling day for me because I expected something different from the matches of Belgium against Slovakia and that between Austria and France. Both are high scoring sides that I expected to deliver as many goals as possible, far different from the result we saw which is just a single goal for each of those matches. Lastly, it was a huge surprise seeing Belgium lose to Slovakia even when Belgium was suggested by many to be one of the favorite to win the tournament.

I don't know what's wrong with Belgium when it comes to international football. To me Belgium is one of the most blessed country when it comes to football players. They have big names that always do well in their various clubs but when it comes to international football they always find it difficult to win. They are one of the worst managed team at international level, I thought they would improve from their last world cup performance in this tournament, but surprisingly they haven't made much progress from that. Sometimes when you see them play you think they are doing it for free, there is no dedication to their national team. The players are not always United, during the last world cup there were many reports in various media that there is disunity in their dressing room. It seems they are yet put that behind them. Losing their first game was a big blow to them I must say because it wasn't expected.

Well they still have their destiny in their hands, they can still go far in this tournament if they can improve their performance, losing one game is not that bad, they still have two games to play. But it would have been better if they won the first game. I remembered when  Argentina lost their first match in the last world cup it was all over the media and people said many damaging things about them, but they came out stronger and went ahead to win the world. Belgium can draw inspiration from them and still have a glorious outing in this tournament.

Overall up to 90 minutes does not include additional minutes (7 minutes) given, Belgium plays poorly. Although not dominant, Slovakia is far more disciplined than Belgium.

Analytically in all that transpired throughout the second half on the pitch, it would be very unfair to conclude that Belgium played poorly in this match despite their defeat. It was a whole moment of dazzling hard luck for the Belgians having their supposed two goals ruled-out for an offside and the other for a handball. On the other hand, It's however, very impressive with how Slovakia were able to repel the dangerous and rich quality squad of the Belgium team reducing their efforts to nothing. Their fans would be proud of them tonight for insuring 3points in their first game.

Bad in the final settlement with a number of opportunities that attended but failed to become a goal. This was also recognized by Belgian head coach, Tedesco. If a number of opportunities available for 90 minutes with high emphasis made by Belgium players, at least there are goals created.
We can also see for ourselves if the Belgium vs Slovakia match was watched while live how strong and the neat of Slovakia's defense yesterday in making Belgian players frustrated. Fortunately, Belgium attackers are my physical and mental strong wounds.

For Belgium players, only a few players get a good rating in this fight, the rest of the Belgium player rating is under the rating of Slovakia players.
Special appreciation is also feasible to be addressed to experienced goalkeeper Dubravka owned by Newcastle who performed very well throughout the match. Dubravka managed to make 5 great saves in thwarting the efforts of Belgium players.

With the presence of KDB, Lukaku and Doku in the frontline I had thought they would give a reply to that early goal from Slovakia before the end HT. Although Belgium has absolutely had some good chances but they are all getting ruined and frustrated by the brilliance of the Slovakian defenders. Coming back to the second half the trio must intensify their campaign against the Slovakian defense to grease  in a goal into behind the net, in any worse result a 1:1 draw could be commended.

The Belgian team didn't show awful performance in the match against slovakia. Belgium was in complete control of the game. As far as I can remember, Belgium has been extremely unfortunate due to the fact that two goals were disallowed by VAR. A mistake made by Lukaku resulted in the first goal being disallowed, while the second goal was also getting ruled out by VAR after a hand ball from Openda. If Lukaku did not make an unnecessary move, such as tackling the ball that was heading directly to the back of the net, Belgium might still be able to end the game with a draw. Mistakes by belgium players costed it three points, but they are not playing so awfully. 

[HajiBagi]

I thought in the first match of Group E, Ukraine would easily win against Romania today, but the opposite happened, and Romania won a very comfortable 3-0 victory over Ukraine. I was really impressed with Dragus’ performance for Romania. On the other hand, Stanciu scored one of the best goals so far at EURO 2024. Ukraine’s performance was quite poor; I think they made their first accurate shot in the 76th minute.

If I had been told that Romania was going to defeat Ukraine I wouldn’t believe it, what a poor performance from Ukraine, sometimes it is good for people to know how to bet on this Euro games because the teams that people are expecting to win are winning the game, Ukraine has many chances to win the game but they always missed the chance, look at the many mistakes that Ukraine defensive players made, not only the defensive players, all Ukraine players are having a bad game yesterday and they disappoint lunin yesterday because the way the goalkeeper is having a good performance this season they disappoint him.

I don’t think Ukraine is going far in this league if they qualify from this group stage it is luck because if not Romania I don’t see any team that Ukraine can defeat in that group, the most painful part is that Romania has not to defeat Ukraine for many years now and they defeat Ukraine with 3 goals with not allowing Ukraine to score a single goal, it was a disappointed result for the country, Ukraine is not going far in this tournament but it also depends on the team performance.

[Polkeins]

While Ukraine loses 0:1 and although in the beginning the players of the national team of Romania pressed to their gates, but then it was the team of Romania was able to open the account with a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area and then could still score from a corner kick, when a player of the national team of Romania curled the ball into the goal and hit the crossbar, so Ukraine will have a hard time in the second half, because the national team of Romania looks very good and the odds of 4.3 on the victory of Romania before the match seemed to me great.

Romania didn't play as confidently at first, but when Ukraine made a defensive mistake, everything changed from that moment on, and Ukraine failed to get a single shot on target in the first half, something that happens very rarely. After scoring a goal, Romania began to act more confidently, but Ukraine did nothing at all in attack. In the second half, Ukraine will definitely need to score, I hope that they will be able to do it quickly, so far their position is unenviable.

Where did Ukraine find their goalkeeper,he should be playing in some amateur team as I cannot otherwise explain his huge mistakes in both goals of Romania,well done to them as I have bet on them at 4.30 odd yet when I am watching this game I feel a bit disgusted at the Ukraine goalkeeper,he is the number one responsible at fault for losing this game,I don't see Ukraine coming back either as they are playing very badly so far and they are not being able to make a dangerous attack count during this game so far.
Now the game just got to 3-0 for Romania and I think they fully deserve it,Ukraine must be a team who will get 0 points during the group stage games.Romania has a great chance now if they manage to beat Slovakia which I think they can seeing what they are showing in the field today.

This goalkeeper plays for Real Madrid and his name is Andrei Lunin. Yesterday he played really terrible, but I would not put all the blame on him, because the first and third goals are not his fault, but the second goal is 100% his fault, because he just missed it under his hands.
In general, now many will understand the choice of Ancelotti, who immediately after recovery returned Thibaut Courtois, although before that Lunin generally replaced him well.
After the defeat to Belgium, it will be even harder for Ukraine, because now both teams need to win to get out of the group.

Yesterday and today I thought I had declining luck. And yes Euro 2024 seems much more difficult to predict. I was initially optimistic about every option I had chosen. But yeah, the results were mostly unexpected. Belgium's defeat was one of them. Well I had too high hopes for that team. Because I think De Bruyne and Lukaku's club will win that match. But well, the result, as seen, turned out to be that Belgium had to suffer defeat by Slovakia. Lukaku seems to have lost his sharpness in the Belgian national team. He is like a different person to the players who play for Roma. In Roma Lukaku was so sharp and reliable. But in the national team itself I saw that Lukaku was not in his best condition. Yes, this is a disappointing result but yes, this Euro will be more interesting and fierce than usual.

Which ratings are you referring to? To be fair to Belgium players most of the time the losing side always has the worst rating even though they don't play that badly. I think these stats are skewed toward the winner.

Mistakes by belgium players costed it three points, but they are not playing so awfully.

Yeah, the stats suggest they dominate the game with more opportunity to score goals and possession. Unfortunately, you don't win games with those, goals are required to win matches.

Sorry for not being lucky with your prediction bro, but to be frank, this particular Belgium team that I watched yesterday has practically past their best, I said so because since Eden hazard left the national team, they have been really poor and their quality of play has really declined, even the few matches they played before they came into this euros competition, they weren't as convincing as of the days of Eden hazard.

And as for Romelu lukaku, I was really shock by his poor performance yesterday because I believe that him and kelvin de bruyne was their most experience players, so if the people others are looking up to can't perform, who then can perform? It's was only doku that caught my attention in that Belgium national team yesterday, but his decision making in the final third needs to improve if he is going to improve further, in the career ahead of him.

Lastly, that lost yesterday to the Slovakians has really put them into a very difficult situation whereby they must win the remaining two games for them to qualify, and to be sincere, they are just lucky because their group is not as difficult as some other groups, so I believe that if improvement is made in the final third, they will definitely qualify out of this group.

Well, the condition of the Belgian national team is not what was expected of them. They control more of the ball, They also have a good level of pass accuracy. But yeah they are really bad at finishing. And actually Belgium is in a group that is not that difficult. Because Belgium should be the favorite in Group E. And it would be very disappointing if Belgium failed to qualify from the group stage. Well that would be a drastic decline for the Belgian National Team.

Their next opponent is Romania. And I think it will be a much more difficult match for Belgium. Because Romania seems to have a much more reliable game. I even lost a bet because I underestimated Romania. I had high hopes for Ukraina and well the result was that Romania surprised us because it managed to beat Ukraina with a fairly big score.

[Majestic-milf]

 The way I see it, bigger teams will receive upsets from the underdogs as we saw how Belgium lost to Slovakia, Ukraine lost woefully to Romania and the likes of France and England managed to get a goal from teams they would normally dismantle. Let's say I'm being too hasty in my take considering the tournament is still in it's early stages but I know these bigger teams won't find it easy to beat the smaller teams like they were doing before.
 Many fans blamed Romelu Lukaku for Belgium's loss yesterday but personally, the fault should go to all the players. I think it's high time a team stops looking for whom to take the fall when they don't get the desired results. Supposing they had won, will his error be considered? Granted, he made mistakes, but they had plenty of chances to turn the game around but I feel they were more relaxed and felt they could turn the events of the game in their favor but they didn't know Slovakia had other plans.

[Cryptmuster]

im not also feeling okay with the result from belgium vs slovakia. Slovakia, while not owning the game, but they were able stealing three points from belgium by winning with narrow score. Belgium has delivered very poor performance, although belgium was controlling the entire game.  Two goals by lukaku ruled out by VAR; consequently, the entire players of belgium were feeling so frustrated with it. Additionally, the first goal might not be ruled out by VAR if lukaku was not touching the ball. The second goal was pure openda's fault, because of openda intentionally keep the ball under his control with his hand. The two goals ruled out by VAR has made belgium lost full points.

Public is now blaming lukaku. I must admit, lukaku's fatal mistake was when he made the first goal ruled out by VAR. Lukaku should let the ball gone to back of the net.

Even if Lukaku had missed that ball, we don’t know what decision the referee would have made, because Lukaku was still there. I think that no one expected that Slovakia would be able to beat Belgium, but I was waiting for unexpected results to start happening. Even during the day I was disappointed with how poorly Ukraine played, it was clear that they interacted poorly from the very beginning, inaccurate passes, and a complete lack of dangerous moments in the attack. And of course, I also expected a much better game from Lunin, very serious mistakes, I can’t even explain the reasons for such a bad game, especially since if I understand correctly, he is now looking for a new club for a transfer, and must show the best at the Euro he is capable...

[Frankolala]

In the match between Austria and France, to be honest, I was quite confused whether in the end Austria was that good or maybe France's performance was less effective because looking at what is happening now, it seems like these two teams are quite balanced, even though Austria is losing quite a bit in possession of the ball and opportunities, but so far France quite difficult to carry out attacks.

Why should you be confused, isn't Austria threatening France goal quite a lot and able to match France strength. Even though Austria lost 0-1 to France, they managed to make the French players tired of scoring goals. Not a single French player was able to score a goal in this match and the only goal that occurred was an own goal from an Austrian player. France started the match with the status of the top team, the very unequal strength of the two teams gave more credit to France being able to win the match easily, but the resistance shown by the Austrian players was beyond expectations. France first match did not meet expectations, Rangnick had to look for other alternatives so that France game could develop further.

The game was on equal ball possession which is 50-50. This shows that Austria strength is equal to France strength. However, France was lucky that Wober caused an own goal with a wrong header, if not it would have being a goalless draw.

Austria played very well in the second half and with all the superstars in France, they could not score any goal themselves. Mbappe lost one-on-one with Austria goalkeeper. It is quite a disappointment to me but they still won the match by luck.

I could not have predicted that the Belgium-Slovakia match would end with this score. I thought Belgium would win the match comfortably because they were more dominant and had star players. Despite that, they did not play the expected game. The fact that both goals were disallowed by VAR shows that Belgium were a bit unlucky.

Lukaku's performance has been discussed for a long time. I'm curious to see how he will perform in the upcoming matches. Lukaku is a strong player but he doesn't use his strength as much as he used to.

[ndutndut]

So far Group E has been the most tense and full of surprises because the two leading countries both lost in their first matches, Belgium and Ukraine.

According to my personal analysis, Belgium will face Ukraine and Romania. I'm pretty sure something like this will happen too. Let's take a look at Belgium's second and third matches. Especially when dealing with Ukraine and Romania. Specifically in the sense that Ukraine doesn't want to lose again, moreover they want to see whether Slovakia can beat Belgium, of course Ukraine also doesn't want to lose a second time. Because Ukraine also doesn't want to play a draw. Just like Belgium wants three points from Ukraine, and Ukraine also really wants three points. What's more, Romania is already in a fun and exciting atmosphere which makes them even more confident. So group E is tight and it's hard to guess who will progress to the next round.

The Belgium vs Slovakia match last night was the same as the Portugal vs Czech Republic match tonight. because according to my analysis, the strength of Belgium and Portugal is the same. And the strength of Slovakia and the Czech Republic is also the same. We'll see if the final score is the same.

Belgium team is meant to win the game because they are more powerful than Slovakia but Belgium allowed Slovakia to win them because they did not take all the chances they were having to score. Belgium has always being doing things like this, they have very good players that are playing very well in Europe and other countries that have good leagues. The players perform well for their clubs but when it gets to playing for their country, they do not perform well and I think it might be because of the manager that they have managing the team. Belgium has a golden generation of footballers but they have not being able to win any major trophies and this might be their last chance. They have lost their game against Slovakia but they should play better in the next game to be able to advance in the tournament or they will lose the opportunity to win the Euros with this golden generation.

So far Group E has been the most tense and full of surprises because the two leading countries both lost in their first matches, Belgium and Ukraine.

A very weak performance from Ukraine and Belgium yesterday, Belgium has been seen as an insider tip for years, but they never bring their theoretical performance to the pitch.

As an Austrian, I would say that Austria deserved a draw against France yesterday, but Austria scored the only goal.

You really expect a team that has this guy will perform?



Ukraine is overrated just because they have few players that shine in Europe:

Dovbyk, Girona's striker.
Lunin, Real Madrid's goalkeeper.
Zinchenko, Arsenal's defender.

While the rest of them are just mediocre players that play in their domestic league, same to Belgium, I'd say Ukraine and Norway are nothing different, they have few good players, but they will not win, it's a good moment to bet against them.

Surprises can happen in football and no big teams can avoid bad days for them. Ukraine and Belgium had their bad days in first matches in Euro 2024 but the Euro is still going and they still have two more matches to correct mistakes.

Belgium played not too bad but they lacked of luckiness to at least have an equalizer goal and their players like Lukaku and Doku are responsible for some wasted chances and not best decisions they made like pass or shot.

With Ukraine, they did not play well to get any sympathy for their first defeated match and Lunin with experience at Real Madrid at highest level like Champions League, can do better.

You are not alone my friend. Because I also feel and experience the same thing in my betting these few days. But not everything failed because some of my bets were successful. and I'm sure you are the same. I also favored Belgium but I also lost. And I also favored Ukrainian and I also lost. This is normal. and indeed in Euro matches there are always lots of surprises like this. So I'm not surprised by these results. But at least for today's match I think we will win the bet if we favor Portugal. In fact, I'm sure there will be more than two goals in that match. And I hope both teams score. But if my prediction is wrong again today then maybe I'm also unlucky.

for the Türkiye vs Georgia match I prefer to skip it. Because I'm not really sure about either of them. Even though I want to favorite Türkiye, I'm not sure about my choice.

[Moreno233]

Today was a bad gambling day for me because I expected something different from the matches of Belgium against Slovakia and that between Austria and France. Both are high scoring sides that I expected to deliver as many goals as possible, far different from the result we saw which is just a single goal for each of those matches. Lastly, it was a huge surprise seeing Belgium lose to Slovakia even when Belgium was suggested by many to be one of the favorite to win the tournament.

I have also noticed that this year's Euro competition seems a little complicated. Just imagine Belgium losing to Slovakia, I don't their is anyone that saw that coming. Even France almost drew with Austria if not of an own goal by Maximilian Wober. This mean that France could not even score a single goal just like Belgium. During the encounter between Italy and Albania, the later scored first even though Italy later won the match. So, this tournament is one that comes with so much drama and surprises. It just a matter of gamblers adapting to be able to win because the odds are fantastic.
