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

[naira]

EURO Round The first match has been played by each country, the most satisfying are 3 matches, first Germany started the Euro by scoring 5 goals, then secondly Spain also managed to tear apart Croatia without a fight, then thirdly the appearance of Turkey, this team brought so much the excitement, beautiful goals scored from long distance make me very satisfied watching it. Arda Guller second goal was very classy and deserved to be the MOTM in that match. Arda appearing increasingly confident as a Real Madrid Wonderkid certainly made Ancelotti happy to see his favorite player score a goal from outside the penalty box. Not many young players Arda age can appear in a competition as big as EURO and score goals. Turkey is indeed much more solid, if you look at the player ratings, it is appropriate because from the back line to the front line, the Turkish players can be a threat if they continue to perform consistently.

For me, Group F is quite tight and Portugal has a tough candidate to play against. Btw, Portugal vs Czechia match ended dramatically because it almost ended in a draw. Luckily at the end of the second half, Conceição broke the deadlock by scoring a goal. From the start of the first half to the second half Portugal dominated the match.

[BlackBoss_]

In my opinion, this is a result that shows that Portugal will hardly win this euro, the opponent of today's game was not a strong opponent when compared to the squad of both teams, but even so, Portugal had a lot of difficulties to win the game, Portugal's attack it was inefficient, even though they had more than 70% possession of the ball they were unable to be effective in attack and won thanks to luck.

Portugal had a hard match but eventually they managed to exit a loss and even won it. This is important for Portugal because they will need to win one more match to be eligible for a next stage of Euro 2024. In knock out stage, we will see their true strength and it will be proper time to assess their chance to win Euro. It's too early to say anything at the group stage and only after the first match. We see how Portugal won Euro 2016 with not impressive group matches.

That's why at least until now I only see Spain and Germany as being the favorite teams to win this euro, the other teams like France, Portugal and England, so very weak, although they are teams that have very good players, it seems to me that they need of having a good coach, France continues with the same coach from the World Cup, but even so I see that France should have put another coach

Amongst many big national teams in Euro 2024, Spain and Germany won big in their first matches and they actually had impressive performances. Base on their first matches, it's true to consider they as best candidates for Euro 2024 title but other big teams can improve next matches. In addition, in direct knock out matches, a winner don't need to be a stronger team and have more impressive performance.

This is hard match for Portugal because it's not easy to beat Czech Republic i can see Czech Republic was attempts to targetting draw result and it showed from their game plan that since the beginning of match Czech Republic has been putting all of their players into their defensive lines or parking bus strategy because they know Portugal is very dangerous and they focusing to their defense and several times attempts to threaten Portugal defensive lines with counter attack strategy
And this strategy was succeed to make Portugal gets in trouble and they even can leading the match from Lukáš Provod but Portugal hasn't give up and they focusing to attack and the result is they can scores 2 goals from Robin Hranáč own goal and super subs player Francisco Conceição and congratulation to Portugal because they have been through an this match with the winning result

The strategy implemented by Czech Republic was able to make it difficult for Portuguese players to score goals, but they managed to show their quality by achieving a dramatic victory. Conceicao became the hero of Portugal's victory, after one minute on the field, he managed to break into the Czech goal in injury time and managed to bring his team a 2-1 comeback against the Czechs. The Czechs managed to keep up with Portugal with sharp attacks and strong defense, but one goal scored in this match was unable to save them from defeat.

Luck was on Portugal side in this match, they fell behind in the 62nd minute, but seven minutes later Portugal managed to equalize the score at 1-1 after the Czech player scored an own goal. The coach decision to include Conceicao was very correct, he managed to give his team victory after making the score 2-1 in injury time.

All in all this game was very exciting and an interesting game between the two teams. Portugal were under a lot of pressure at the start and they faced a tough loss. When the Czech scored a goal in the 62nd minute, Portugal were more than disappointed and more than excited to level the game. Although we saw the Czech lose the match due to a mistake, Robin Hranac's own goal beat the team, otherwise the result would have been a draw. Later, Portugal team attacked a lot and Czech team also defended a lot, but Portugal scored a goal in the 90+2 minutes and the result was 2-1. However, after making enough attacks and doing everything well, they succeeded in getting the win.

Czech scored first but Portugal equalized the match shortly after that goal, and they succeeded to get a winning goal even it is a late one. The winning is not easy and not impressive for Portugal but result is ultimate important thing from this match for Portugal. They need 3 points from the first match which they achieved to make a good foundation for their chance to appear in the  next stage. 8 years since Euro 2016 when they won a title, they are trying to lift the trophy again in a possible last Euro for Cristiano Ronaldo.

They need to improve from this hard winning, to prepare better for last two matches in their group and in later stages too. It's hard for Cristiano Ronaldo to join a next Euro, in 2028, when he will be 43-year old.

Because from the start the Czechs carried out a fairly good defensive scheme throughout the match which made the match more difficult than expected but with the score in the final minute the conditions became quite good where Portugal finally won with a narrow score where they managed to get possession of the ball and opportunities from beginning.

The positive results in the first match with the record of 2 players (Cristiano and Pepe) in this match were very good for Portugal and currently they are in second place after Turkey managed to win a landslide victory in the first match. But there is still a lot of time for Portugal to play, so for now they are still strong candidates to win the group position and qualify for the next phase.

For the Czechs, they were very good in their defensive scheme, but there were several situations where they had a little difficulty maintaining and concentrating throughout the match, which made the result unfavorable for them even though they were ahead first.

Looking at these statistics it certainly becomes strange because Portugal's victory was helped by mistakes made by Czech players, in fact, the Czechs managed to win first, and Portugal was one of the favorite teams whose performance was below many people's expectations because previously there was England, France which only won narrowly and Belgium which actually lost.

However, Portugal's chances of getting to the knockout phase are still safe because they are only in a relatively weak group, the only team that has a chance of beating Portugal is Turkiye who will be their opponents in the second match, Portugal will of course try to get all the points in the group phase to ensure first position in group F.
Will Ronaldo score a goal in the second match? not so sure because he will face a tougher defender in the second match.

[Bobrox]

Today matchday 2 of 3 will play and several national teams get three points will make secure their position qualifying to knock out or 16 round, all national team have play first matchday and today some national teams fight for secure 16 round place.

Here the matchday 2 of 3 today

• Croatia vs Albania

Second matchday is very important match for Croatia after losing three points on the first match must secure three points if want get one ticket left for 16 of round, Croatia in difficult group stage after defeating by Spain on the first match have to win against Albania because last match getting more difficult opponent team against Italy.

For Germany winning the second matchday automatically make them will qualify to 16 of round after winning the first match against Scotland, Germany will be the first national team qualify to knock out round if can secure three points against Hungary today.

I enjoyed watching my favourite player yesterday and I'm glad he was able to lead the Portuguese team to victory against Czech, they might have scored before Portugal but i didn't expect them to win against a team made of superstars playing in big club teams across the globe. Well Czech really tried yesterday, I didn't expect much from them not to talk of scoring the opener they had their chances as well but Portugal was more superior on the pitch. I believe that game would be an opener for Portugal they've seen that the competition is very tough even from the group stage, so I believe they'll be more serious and won't underestimate any team no matter how weak their squad looks. I agree with you that Portugal needs to improve, they need to prepare better and dominate their group without stress. As for my idol Ronaldo I believe he's aware that this is his final tournament in the Euros cause I don't see him playing till 43, so he'll try his very best to probably lead his team to the finals.

A bad start for Portugal, they should able to score more than just win with one goal difference.

I don't see Portugal's players play bad except the goalkeeper, I think they should start to put Diogo Costa in bench and let Jose Sa to become main goalkeeper. Although Jose Sa is only play for Wolverhampton, but he has man experience and he's taller than Diogo Costa. Jose Sa should able to save that shot since he has reach advantage.

It's shameful, Czech only have one time shot on target and they scored it.

Before the game I knew Portugal was going to win but was not expecting much since how England, France, and Belgium matches went though somehow this game was difficult for Portugal being unfortunate not to score more but let's see how all these big teams plays on their match day 2.

Interesting stats and I thought the Czechs played more varied and interesting, while Portugal were remembered in the first half only for Rafael Leao's yellow for simulation. In general, it is strange that players still try to simulate and fall for no reason, knowing that there is VAR.
Also Portugal scored goals after mistakes of defenders, the first goal Czech goalkeeper unsuccessfully kicked directly into the leg of his defender, and in the second Czech defender made a mistake and a player of the Portuguese national team from a meter rolled the ball into the goal.
In general, another boring game from the national team of Portugal, which nevertheless fulfilled the task, scored 3 points and most likely with a probability of 80-90% will be out of the group.

UEFA Euro 2024 is really very interesting to watch. At least several records have been created in the group stages, although not all of them are major records. But this has made the tournament even more exciting even on the first matchday. The major record created was Lamine Yamal becoming the youngest player and youngest assist scorer in UEFA Euro history. Arda Guler becomes the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Euro history. Pepe became the oldest player to play in history and Ronaldo became the first player to play in six editions of the UEFA Euro. Nedim Bajrami became the fastest goal scorer, and Dominik Szoboszlai became the youngest captain in UEFA Euro history.

It looks like UEFA Euro 2024 will be the most exciting UEFA Euro I have ever watched. Each team also played very well, even Georgia, which is considered the weakest team in this edition, performed quite well even though they lost 1-3 to Turkey.

Yesterday winning for Portugal is luck, I will not say they fought to win because they didn’t play the way we all expected, imagine common Czech Republic Portugal can not beat them with 2 goals from the first half, to be honest, I’m not happy with Portugal performance yesterday because of the way they played, even from the formation you will know Portugal will suffer before winning the match, why Portugal will use only three defensive players against Czech Republic? That is a very bad formation, Portugal player’s not good, but when it comes to another league they will be serious and to play for their country they will be performing poorly, most especially, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo and Rafael Leo, these guys are not good when it comes to playing for their country.

The most painful part of this game is that both 2 and 3 Portugal players are not the kind of players that cross out the ball for the remaining players to score a goal, to be honest, I would prefer it if Portugal's coach changed the pattern of playing and also don’t start game with cancels because he is the one that I will blame for not crossing the ball for the striker to score a goal, I don’t like the way the play, as a 2 and 3 player you have to know how to cross the ball to the box and also create a chance for goal, you does not need to dribble to score by yourself, if Portugal wants to go far on this competition they have to change their performance and some players.

It was quite interesting to see the match between Turkey and Georgia because both teams were equally determined to win and this match ran at a fairly fast tempo. Turkey appeared slightly dominant compared to Georgia and they had a better rhythm, but Georgia seemed to have a quite promising counterattack, which several times seemed quite troublesome for Turkey's defense. I guess this match will end in a draw.

It was an interesting match to watch, both of them are very serious and wanted to win the match because their performances shows it and they both wants to use the advantage to top
The group because they knew that they are the two teams that are considered least in the group, therefore, they both wants the three points before Portugal and Czech Republic match.

Their performance showed that the two remaining teams that people were considering as favorites to qualify in the group need to be serious because they can also lose against any of these teams; and that’s the nature of football.

Because Turkey hopes to become the winner of the Group, so that they dont meet a strong team in the round of 16 later.
They must be able to win against Georgia and Czech with lots of goals and at least able to hold Portugal to a draw.
While for Georgia, this is their first ever international tournament, previously they always failed in the qualifying round.
They played quite well in the 1st half, but I doubt they can give a surprise in the matches against Portugal and Czech later.

Georgia had many scoring opportunities against Türkiye. Türkiye also could not take advantage of many scoring opportunities. Mert Müldür and Arda's goals were magnificent. I think young people like Arda should be given a chance. Few players in the world can score such a magnificent goal. Georgia played very well. They can win against the Czech Republic. Portugal, on the other hand, escaped losing points in extra time. This group will be a bit mixed.

[EFS]

After the first matches, I like how Germany and Spain play most. These two teams are already my favorites for the championship. The other favorites also won their games even if they didn't play well. At the end of the first matches only one game ended in a draw, which is interesting. Normally in short tournaments like this, teams play with control and plan to avoid defeat first. I think the fact that there will be 3 teams advancing in the group stage encouraged the teams to play more relaxed. The real excitement will start after the last 16 round.

Pressure was building for Portugal as the match progressed with 74% possesion and
especially in the closing minutes after the Czech's were able to score a draw. What
a massive decision it was to bring on Francisco Conceicao just after that goal
and for him to score the winner on the 90th minute.

Interesting stat for the Czech team, 1 goal from 1 shot on target!

Germany v Hungary today, its only going to end one way with a Germany win, Hungary are
11.00, Germany 1.24, have to bet over on this one for sure.

The game between Georgia vs turkey was the most fascinating encounter among all the games that I have ever watched in this year European competition, because it was actually not a one sided game, the two teams went toe too toe against each other, and it's was very very exciting especially to neutral fan like me, though I must confess that turkey was actually lucky not to drew that game, because Georgia has so many clear scoring opportunities to equalize the game and made it 2-2 but they were just unlucky to go home without a point.

And as for the guy that scored the beautiful second goal for turkey, that guy is actually a very good player no doubt, and he is very young, though someone was telling me yesterday that he is a real Madrid player, which I haven't verify yet, but that player is definitely a plus in any team he is plying his trade.

Lastly, as for the game between Portugal vs Czech republic, Portugal was just lucky to snatch the winning goal at the dieing minutes, because it was all over, I just hope that they learn from this , by not starting poorly again, especially against a stronger opposition.

[Abbatty]

Portugal game was an interesting one, Portugal took control of the game from the very first minute till the end, even when they coincided a goal de didn’t loose their cool and within 7 minutes from been behind they were able to equalize and went on to win the game in the stoppage time from Francisco conceicao. Conceicao and Pedro Neto bothe came off the bench and made an instant impact with them combining and getting Portugal the winner.

It was a tough game and a very interesting one to watch, most people who don’t really watch Czech Republic were writting them off, but I knew they were going to be a difficult side. Well I think Portugal will top the group and any other person to qualify in 2nd place,

The Goat couldn’t get a goal yesterday but man played like he is still in his early 20s, no doubt he is going to score in the tournament, probably in the next game against Georgia, he is in a good foam in front of goal and he almost scored yesterday but end up hitting the woodwork with a trademark header. Portugal are my favorite team to win the Euros and seeing them playing with absolutely control yesterday gives me the believe they could go on and win the tournament.

I think the real excitement will be after the last 16 rounds. Some teams will not be happy for second place, some teams will be happy for third place. Until now, I saw Germany as a complete destruction machine. They played the team game brilliantly and destroyed Scotland. Other teams also played well. No surprises except Belgium
