⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage

[indah rezqi]

~~ Snip ~~

At first, I blamed the players because they seem not yet ready for this competition as they keep on with their poor performance and couldn't withstand the tensity of Denmark press but I think it's not just the players, they need a manager who can actually implement a style of play. England squad consists of quality players but their performance is displaying otherwise due to poor management. Southgate has problem with his selection process, he is sentimental towards some players and continuing like this will not allow England to go far as they are already struggling at this early stage of the tournament.

I also think that the England national team needs a better coach. Because actually they have quality players that are even above Denmark. But we can see that in this match Denmark was actually able to play with more confidence and more openness. Even though in the first minute Denmark tried to defend, after they conceded a goal we immediately saw a drastic change in the Danish players who were able to play more openly and attack more bravely. And the opposite happened to the English players who actually became more defensive and less aggressive. And what I don't understand is that England's forward players were replaced at the same time which meant that England didn't get any better in the second half. England should be able to do better than this. But from what I see they actually look like an ordinary team.

It is very understandable why England is considered an ordinary team, because they do not have a quality manager even though the depth of their squad is quite good. Southgate doesn't seem like the right person to lead England, he is unable to unite the egos of his players well, so it is difficult for them to win easily. Actually, they are part of a relatively easy group, but it looks like their journey will not be as easy as we imagine. Denmark managed to hold England to a draw with a score of 1-1, previously Southgate squad was only able to achieve a narrow 1-0 victory over Serbia.

These two matches can give us an idea of ​​England chances of winning at Euro 2024 this time, even though they can qualify as group C winners. Southgate has changed England status from favorites to win to a mediocre team, that can be seen from the way they play. We know that almost every line in England has star players, but Southgate cannot encourage his players to find their best performance. On the other hand, I assume that if England faced a team like France or Germany in the next round, they would experience a crushing defeat. Southgate will receive sharper criticism if England draw against Slovenia in their next match.

[Salahmu]

England might be considered to have had a good performance at Euro 2020 but not now, even though they are still handled by the same coach. England has played two matches at Euro 2024, but their performance is still far from expectations. As long as England cannot find a solution to the lack of creativity in their midfield, then they will continue to play without a solid rhythm.

England has been known for their best performance on the UEFA Euros but this season seem to be a bit difficult for them, imagine their match yesterday against Denmark they actually had the chances of wining the match but couldn't when they have  all the quality players to win the match, I was even surprised that after scoring their first goal Denmark started to mount pressure on them and before we no Denmark had already equalize, however so far England have been able to play two matches from their group C which they managed to win one and draw one and their next match they will be meeting Slovenia, so I believe they should be able to win them because Slovenia doesn't have the kind of experience players England has so I think England should be able to claim the the three points.

[samuraijin]

I am a bit worried that Croatia may not be able to go past group stage this time. They are being placed in an extremely tough group, along with Spain, Italy and Albania. And at this point they have just 1 point from 2 matches. Their only remaining match is against Italy on 24th June, but I don't think that they will be able to secure required number of points. A few hours back, Italy went down against Spain, but I am not sure whether Croatia stands any chance against them.

Croatia have been disappointing so far, obviously the heavy defeat to Spain was bad but they were still not in a bad position to qualify but drawing with Albania was a really bad result. They really should be able to beat Albania.

Croatia have some really good players, it now comes down to Italy, they probably have to win to qualify for the last 16. They will need to be much better than they’ve been so far.

Croatia's performance was indeed very disappointing with the two matches they played in their two matches, the poor results obtained in the Euro match this season, are not comparable to their game during the 2018 World Cup, the attackers that Croatia has are not as sharp as before and far from everyone's expectations people, Luka Modrić, Brozovic, couldn't do anything, conceded in the 10th minute and Croatia's second goal was created. It seemed that Croatia had difficulty creating a win for Krosia, it really hurt when I saw Albania's goal in the last minute made me lose the bet, I think Croatia  will get absolute victory but luck is not on his side.

Spain has performed well at the Euros this season, has a perfect record with two wins over Italy even though the goals were scored from own goals, at least that has kept Spain safe from the next match to qualify for the next round, discussing Italy's match against Croatia  It seems difficult if Italy plays a game like against Spain, of course it is very difficult to achieve victory in a relaxed game like Italy, it cannot face Croatia's game which requires a fast game like England's game, that's why I say that because the Italian game needs a captain like Chelini, despite his status.  The defending champions saw the game against Spain far from the expectations of everyone who supported Italy.

I am a bit worried that Croatia may not be able to go past group stage this time. They are being placed in an extremely tough group, along with Spain, Italy and Albania. And at this point they have just 1 point from 2 matches. Their only remaining match is against Italy on 24th June, but I don't think that they will be able to secure required number of points. A few hours back, Italy went down against Spain, but I am not sure whether Croatia stands any chance against them.

Croatia and Italy will have their big clash in a final match day of this group. This is an important match and opportunity for Croatia to beat Italy and surpass Italy on the table in this group.

They are quite the same in quality and I even don't know between Croatia and Italy, what team will win. Italy can be considered stronger than Croatia but other people can say Croatia can be considered as stronger than Italy. Difference between them is small that gives each team a 50% chance to win that important match.

Italy can move next if they have a draw but with Croatia, a draw means they have to go home.

This game is a crucial one for the both teams which will be definitive on who's to leave or stay in the Euro... This year Euro, Croatia team has quite fallen below expectation with just a point in their group B after two games.  On a current stats, Croatia don't stand a better chance to win their next game against Italy who were very unlucky after a tough battle in the meeting with Spain  narrowly winning that game with an own goal from Calafiori. Same Spain that had a cool time beaten Croatia 3 nil.

Except history decides to repeat itself by favouring Croatia against Italy. In all of their 9 meetings record has it that Croatia has won 3 games while Italy won 1 with 5 draws. So probably if Croatia can show a bit of  improvement in that match come 24th June they could light up their chance of surviving the group stage, but a draw won't be of any good for them at all.

[ajiz138]

So for England (who are also considered one of the favourites), their performance is not enough, they still have to improve a lot to reach the final.

England has never been short of players only the coach can manage this but we know Southgate is not doing well, like Palmer and Mainoo were benched when they should have played.

I think today's match between the Netherlands and France could end in a draw, as neither team has really convinced me yet.

We will see another interesting match, we don't know what the result will be yet, both teams can be said to be equally great, a draw is still very possible.

Spain only won yesterday thanks to an own goal, but in terms of play they were superior to the Italians, but the Italians can then secure promotion in their last match against Croatia.

Donnarumma made a good save but it was unfortunate that the lone goal had to be an unavoidable own goal, Italy were only given one shot on target meaning Spain put more pressure on Italy.

[Velvet78]

England has never been short of players only the coach can manage this but we know Southgate is not doing well, like Palmer and Mainoo were benched when they should have played.

I agree. England is one of the teams with the best squad depth. There are so many great options to give chances to. Southgate's choices are hard to get. If you don't give these young talents a chance in a year that they are shining then when will you?  


Italy were horrible yesterday. They had only few attempts only 1 of which was on target. Spain completely dominated and deserved the win. The goal was a lucky one though.    Italy will most probably qualify by finishing at the 2nd position. But I doubt they would progress much further.

Currently Germany - Spain teams are the best performers in my opinion.

Italy focused on defense, and they could do almost nothing in attack, only 1 shot on target in the entire game, which is too little to count on even a draw. And Spain made 20 shots on goal and 8 of them were on target, perhaps the beginning of the match was more or less even, but then Spain controlled everything and they had opportunities to score more. Perhaps Italy will try not to lose to Croatia, because this result will be enough for them, and Croatia will only need a victory.

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

yesterday the italy-spain match was disastrous but really bad on italy's part i honestly didn't think it would end like this given that italy has an excellent squad anyway, but di lorenzo was practically annihilated it's as if he had never played and now things are getting tough because of Croatia they have to win or draw to move on to the next phase so I'd say it's not looking good for Italy

[Jossque]

The matches played yesterday were a bit boring.We didn't see many goals in the matches.If I start from group C, 2 matches ended in 1-1 draw.I think Slovenia didn't play very well against Serbia.Although they went 1-0 ahead in the 70th minute, they left this match with a draw with a goal in extra time.Serbia was the favorite of the match, of course, but they couldn't make use of the positions they found.We can say that everything is risky for them now.

[Lidger]

Argentina won against Canada in the main match of the Copa America group stage and earned 3 points. Although no team could score in the first half, the defending champion Argentina managed to score two goals in the second half. Álvarez (49) scored twice for Argentina.
L. Martínez (88).

Argentina fans might have been upset with the result if they had shared a point against Canada but Argentina certainly lived up to their fans' expectations and earned full points. Congratulations to Argentina and best of luck for the upcoming matches.

[HajiBagi]

Tonight's surprise match was Denmark-England. England drew with Denmark. Every team in Group C has a chance to advance to the next round. The next matches will be very exciting.

I think the Spain-Italy match was a nice and enjoyable match. Spain won the match 1-0, they were the favorites for this match.
Spain became the first team to secure a place in the group.

I have said it before and I will continue saying it, England will not go far in this competition because of their poor performance, what is happening to the England players, England is one of the best countries that has many young talented players in the world but look at their performance in every games they played, England has the best player in the premier league, best player in laliga and also young player in the premier league but they can’t perform well, I can’t even imagine that England has Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Rice, palmer and Maino but still they can’t perform well, to be honest this is very disappointing for England.

I think it is time for England to change the coach, I have checked it very well and I think the problem with England is the coach, Gareth Southgate did not know how to coach the talented players that England has, and he doesn’t know how to do a formation, and the most painful part is that he doesn’t give some players that will come to the pitch and change the game for them, why is he not giving palmer and Maino a chance of playing some minutes to show what they are capable of? I believe if Palmer and Maino enter any game they play the performance will change, it would be very good if England sacked the coach if not they will not go far in this competition.

On the other hand, I assume that if England faced a team like France or Germany in the next round, they would experience a crushing defeat. Southgate will receive sharper criticism if England draw against Slovenia in their next match.

Gareth Southgate has not been able to make the English national team have good chemistry on the field. The players sometimes still seem to make some unnecessary mistakes there. And the teamwork was also not as good as Denmark in that match. But in the early minutes before England scored, England actually looked better. But after that they lowered the tempo of the game and allowed Denmark to build attacks more freely. The draw against Denmark was considered quite disappointing. because the depth of the England squad should be above the level of the Danish players. But the facts on the field turned out to be that the English national team played as if it didn't have many star players. even though the English national team has all the good players in all their lines. Southgate must make immediate improvements. If not, England might have difficulty in the round of 16. Meanwhile, for the match against Slovenia, we still hope that England can win. Because if England fails to win or can only get a draw, the reputation of the English national team at Euro 2024 will really start to be undermined. And their coach will also immediately receive criticism.

Italy failed my bet, and to see them play so badly was beyond belief. We think Italy can provide tough resistance to Spain, it's a shame that Italy won't be able to survive long at EURO if it doesn't show its best game. In terms of Italy strength against Spain, there is nothing surprising, Spain was only able to win through an own goal, meaning Spain played a bad game. So in this match many of us were disappointed, expecting a fierce battle because these two countries have quite a long history on the field.

Croatia had to accept the bitter reality of not being able to do more in the group phase. were held to a draw by Albania so Croatia have never won once in Group B.

Today there is another big match between Netherlands vs France, actually this is also the match we are most looking forward to. Hopefully it doesn't end like Spain vs Italy, because France and the Netherlands can be said to be evenly matched in H2H.

[Barcode_]

Even though Italy suffered a lost against Spain but they are quite lucky as Albania did managed to force a draw upon Croatia and this will help to boost Italy chances in claiming the 2nd spot at Group B when they play against Croatia in their next upcoming match.

It is not a good sign for Ukraine to concede 3 goals against Romania in their first match as it shows they might be struggling with their defense, I think there is a high possibility for Slovakia to score another surprise victory against Ukraine today as the players of Slovakia are surely going to be playing this match with high confidence after they beat Belgium in their opening match.

Even though I won my bet because I favored Spain. but I was also quite surprised by Italy's performance which was actually expected to make the match more exciting with the level of aggressiveness of both teams being equally high. But from what I see, Spain has a better advantage in this match. And if Spain can take advantage of every opportunity they create then Spain can actually win by more than 1 goal. But Italy does have a strong defense which makes it difficult for Spain to score goals. But this defeat will indeed put Italy in a difficult position in Group B. But if Italy manages to win or even just get a draw in the match against Croatia then that will be enough to make Italy qualify for the round of 16. But of course, with the condition that Albania must also lose to Spain.

Many people will probably hope that France vs Netherlands will win. But I would probably favor the Netherlands in this match.

I am a bit worried that Croatia may not be able to go past group stage this time. They are being placed in an extremely tough group, along with Spain, Italy and Albania. And at this point they have just 1 point from 2 matches. Their only remaining match is against Italy on 24th June, but I don't think that they will be able to secure required number of points. A few hours back, Italy went down against Spain, but I am not sure whether Croatia stands any chance against them.

If you look at the standings in Group B, Croatia is indeed at the bottom and gave the impression that they didn't have a big chance of qualifying for the round of 16. However, if you look at how the two teams (Croatia and Italy) played against Spain, I think Croatia has a chance to beat Italy. Croatia really lost badly to Spain with a score of 0-3, but in that match, they actually had more chances than Spain, it's just that they were unlucky with their finishing touch.

In contrast to Italy, even though they only lost with a score of 0-1, but it was Spain who had more control over the game, and Italy did not have many opportunities or shot attempts.

Against Croatia it will not be easy for Italy because both teams are favorites to get through the group phase and in terms of quality they are not much different so this will be a tough deciding match for both of them.
And on the other hand, Albania also cannot be underestimated because so far in the two matches they have shown an impressive performance and later in the final match it is not impossible that they can pull off a surprise because their opponent Spain has already been guaranteed to qualify from the group phase so of course Spain will not play stubbornly Again.

Slovakia with high confidence and Ukraine with great motivation, Ukraine must win this match if they still want to have the possibility of qualifying from the group phase.
An interesting match between these two teams.
The match will be played soon and I am trying to bet on goal overs in this match, I think because both teams will play hard so there is a possibility that there will be a lot of goals in this match.

[MK-74]

Tonight's match is Netherlands-France. France is the favorite in this match. I hope this match will be enjoyable.
I think France will complete this group as the leader.

Poland-Austra match will be competitive, I think Poland has a higher chance of winning.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Italy were horrible yesterday. They had only few attempts only 1 of which was on target. Spain completely dominated and deserved the win. The goal was a lucky one though.    Italy will most probably qualify by finishing at the 2nd position. But I doubt they would progress much further.

Currently Germany - Spain teams are the best performers in my opinion.

A team that's running and hoping for the game to end so that they could catch their breath and head into the next game, it speaks more of the Italian side yesterday, they couldn't hold down the young stars of Spain. The Italian midfield was terrible that they could not get a complete pass to the attackers withe both left back and right back defenders did very poorly, they only give the Spanish players to easily run through them and get the ball in the box.
The Spanish side have the game in their palm but couldn't get more than a goal, for sometime I haven't seen Spain show that hunger to win against a big side but yesterday they (Spain) got me convinced that they're not only ready to win against the bigger teams but to become Champions. I think Spain are number 1 favorite ahead of Germany and France.

[aoluain]

Unbelievable really, I'm thinking now that betting on the group stages isnt as predictable
as I before thought.

The big upset of the day was Albania being able to draw wit 2 goals to Croatia, that leaves Croatia
with a job of work to do in their last match against Italy.

Big match today against the top two in Group B and two big names in world soccer Spain v Italy,
I's staying away from betting on this one.

All countries will give everything in the group stages and there will be no mistakes if they still want to be in this competition so of course all the games will be difficult for everyone no and very difficult to predict, no one is too much of an underdog at the Euros in and we've already seen some surprise that occurred in Round 1.

Albania's draw against Croatia was quite fair for both teams because they both played very well with a strong mentality, especially for Albania who were able to score a goal at the end of the match to avoid defeat.
Now Albania and Croatia still have a chance to qualify from the group phase even though it is difficult because Albania's opponent is Spain and Croatia will face Italy in round 3.

For today's match Spain vs Italy is a very big match and this will be quite difficult to predict but that doesn't mean we have to miss out on betting, each of us has our own point of view and our own predictions for this match.
I think Spain will be able to win the match later and I will bet on that.
From the first match between the two teams, we can conclude and make predictions for the next match.

Nice pick Farma, Spain it was...just about by OG by Italy. Spain with slightly more
possession were able to get 20 shots in with 9 on target, Italy under pressure which
let to the OG.

Tonight's match is Netherlands-France. France is the favorite in this match. I hope this match will be enjoyable.
I think France will complete this group as the leader.

Poland-Austra match will be competitive, I think Poland has a higher chance of winning.

All eyes on the Netherlands v France match tonight, one of the big favourites are France.
The odds are not as far apart as I would have expected. Netherlands 3.3 - 2.29 France.

I'm picking the Netherlands!

It could be touch and go as to whether Mbappe plays...

https://amp.sportsmole.co.uk/football/netherlands/euro-2024/preview/preview-netherlands-vs-france-prediction-team-news-lineups_546238.html

Mbappe has now been spotted in training donning his protective gear - which is adorned with the colours of the French flag and their emblem - and Deschamps has refused to rule out the prospect of the 25-year-old making a surprise appearance.
