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

[beerlover]

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.

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.

Italy has always been known for their amazing defense, even before 90's they were known for their defense and grew just better and better. So their hope was that they would defend very well, tire Spain out, because they would run around trying to score, and eventually when Spain is tired, they would use their fast wings and striker to just counter attack and find a goal and keep parking the bus.

This did not happen because Spain knows tiki taka better than anyone else, and they just attacked without tiring themselves out, which made it impossible for Italy to execute their plan, and instead Spain just tired Italy out and eventually a mislap in judgement caused the goal. Spain seems like a good team this tournament, they may go further than I expected.

Slovakia is currently playing Ukraine. If Slovakia eventually gets 3 points back in this match then they will systematically qualify for the next phase as well as the third team that has been confirmed to qualify.

It seems one way traffic for Slovakia in the second half. After the bad start in the first half Ukraine seems to be having a good time since the kick off of the second half.

The second half was different this time where in the first half Slovakia was able to make a good breakthrough but for this time Ukraine was the one who pressed more even throughout the 40 minutes of the second half this time.

The score is now reversed and of course this is a very good thing for Ukraine because after all with this victory, the competition for this group will become more interesting where 3 clubs get 3 points and only Belgium has not gotten any points at all because they have not played for the second match this time.

I expect the 1-2 result to last until the end of the match because after all with Ukraine's victory in this match, those who qualify will be determined in the 3rd match and of course this will be interesting where when that happens there are indeed some conditions that could be a surprise between the 4 TEAMS competing in group E.

It seems like the Ukrainian players received instructions to play more aggressively after seeing less than optimal play in the first half. now Ukrainian players can play more pressing with tight pressing.
Slovakia could no longer play as dominantly as in the first half. when carrying out attacks they must be alert to counter attacks and the transition from attack to defense can be exploited by Ukraine.
after equalizing the score, Ukraine played better.

For Ukraine, all they needed in this match was a victory, and after they conceded a goal, it seemed that it would be difficult to correct the situation. In the first half, nothing was changed, but in the second, Ukraine managed to change everything, first they equalized the score, and at the end of the match they were able to score a second goal, and win the match. A very important victory, and it’s very good that Ukraine managed to get 3 points today, now we need to prepare for the last match with Belgium.

Massive win for Ukraine, they deserved it after all.

Ukraine sealed the game now. Scored their second goal. They are really playing outstanding game. Impressive performance.

Yeah it was an interesting match between Ukraine and Slovakia because their both performance was almost the same and also Ukraine was very fortunate to have been able to manage and realize themselves if not they would have actually lose the match because from beginning of the match Ukraine was displaying very poor performance and Slovakia use that opportunity to secure their first goal making Ukraine uncomfortable, though they tried to have managed and protect the goal till the end of the first half but as soon they came back to the second half they became so reluctant on their performance making Ukraine to equalize on the 54 minutes and after then the match became balanced that the both side was trying all means to breakthrough but fortunately for Ukraine they manage to score their wining goal at the 80 minutes, so congratulations to them.

Only 1 goal and that was very profitable for Spain who had ensured that they would qualify from the group stage.
Italy's game was not good for 90 minutes. 1st, apart from losing in ball possession, Italy was only able to take 1 shoot compared to Spain's 9 shoots. Continues in 2nd. There is absolutely nothing special about Italy. They are just lucky to have goalkeeper Donnarumma. If Donnarumma wasn't the goalkeeper, maybe the final score wouldn't have been 1-0, but more.

From the level of ball possession alone, it is enough to see that Spain deserved to win and had a better way of playing compared to Italy. And I also think that if the Italian goalkeeper had not been Donnarumma, maybe Italy would have suffered the same fate as Croatia when they played against Spain with a higher score than that. For now, everyone can probably conclude that Spain is a strong candidate to reach the final of Euro 2024 if the game continues like that until the final.

[Despairo]

Netherlands vs France will be an exciting match.

This time France will play without Mbappe since his nose is broken, so Giroud will play. Giroud's recent performance is really bad and he's already old, it just surprising Deschamps choose him over many quality players. Griezmann can become striker, his position can be replaced with Tchouameni or Camavinga, or if he don't want Griezmann, there are still many strikers.

Netherlands might able to pull an upset I guess...

Spain and Germany are the oy team playing attacking football and is giving them results. Yesterday game was interesting,  Spain outshined Italy from the first half to the second half, they deserved the winning, with the help of two vibrant wingers like William and Lamine,such a talent they have.

Today's day Ukraine did a great job with a good come back and won the game 2:1 against  Slovakia. They will face Belgium in their final group stage match.

Poland vs Austria game is on, I'm staking for Austria to win. They are the underdog in this tournament. France vs Netherlands is by 20:00pm , with the team news coming from the France team, Mbappe will start from the bench. He had a broken nose in their last game. It's a GG match.

[Out of mind]

In Group E, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine each have 3 points. Although in today's match we saw Ukraine win 2-1 against Slovakia. All these three teams are looking very strong in the points table, but we will face Romania in the next match. Slovakia is more likely to win this match. And Ukraine will face Belgium, Ukraine has a chance to win here.
And I think Romania and Ukraine are more likely to go from Group E to the qualifiers.

Ukraine sealed the game now. Scored their second goal. They are really playing outstanding game. Impressive performance.

yes, as I said, Ukraine played better in the second half. they are starting to dare to control the ball and defend and they are comfortable doing it. every player's confidence increases. and when they lost the ball they immediately pressed the Slovak players.
look at the impact, several passes from Slovakia players were successfully cut and that was an advantage for Ukraine. however, Slovakia's game was not bad either. look at how the combination passes between players, it's very good and done very quickly. The rhythm of the game for both teams was very fast, it was a tiring match for both teams. congratulations to Ukraine on its victory over Slovakia.

[Lidger]

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.

Spain and Italy met in a UEFA EURO group stage match where Spain won against Italy. Before the match started I felt that Spain and Italy are tough opponents and either team can win this match so I refrained from betting on this match but Spain beat Italy in this match. Despite not being defeated by a large margin of goals, the three points are a big deal for Spain. Among the few teams in this group, three teams are strong but so far Spain is at the top of the group stage points table as Spain has been able to win 100% so far followed by Italy at the second position and Croatia at the fourth position.

Only some of them concluded that Spain was the team that was expected to enter the final round and I think they had quite a reason why they chose Spain as a strong candidate to reach the final. One of them may be because their games are relatively fast and entertaining. If you play against Italy, who in fact loses a lot statistically to Spain but they only get 1 goal, what about against other teams that have good finishing. We still need to wait and see the development of the other favorite teams so which team has the best chance of getting into the final.

All these three teams are looking very strong in the points table, but we will face Romania in the next match. Slovakia is more likely to win this match. And Ukraine will face Belgium, Ukraine has a chance to win here.
And I think Romania and Ukraine are more likely to go from Group E to the qualifiers.

How would that even work?
If Slovakia beats Romania they will get 6 points, in this scenario they will be the most likely to qualify so have both Romania and Ukraine qualify directly doesn't work because of the direct loss in the match.

Anyhow, still no goalless match, and only 9+ ods on almost all matches to end 0:0, might be tempting.

This time France will play without Mbappe since his nose is broken, so Giroud will play.

And yet he still has the best odds to score at 5:1 too bad you can't place a get against it.

[Oluwa-btc]

In what was expected to be one of the most competitive matches of the group stage, Spain demolished Italy. They never gave Italy a chance to attack. Despite this, the only goal Spain scored was an own goal by Calafiori. Spain could've easily scored 4-5 goals but they wasted their chances generously. Spain showed that they are the favorites of the tournament. On the other hand Italy looked far from being the favorite. They are not even among the top 8 teams in the tournament IMO.

Having one of the William brothers helped propelled the Spanish attack. He was very explosive and creative. Infact, the both wings effectively functioned yesterday and the likes of Fabian Ruiz and Rodri detect the game nicely. They made sure hey bossed the game, I couldn't believe the defending champions would lose that one though. The goalkeeper, Dounaramma made some brilliant and important saves in the first half of the game.

As for English side, they're completely overhyped and if nobody gives Gareth Southgate tips and advice on how to manage these lads, he'll be knocked out in the knock out stage.

He should stop making use of Alexander Arnold as a midfielder, he doesn't have to qualities. I say this and I do not exaggerate about it in the slightest way.

Do you think Ukraine has a chance to beat Belgium? First Belgium have to play Romania and I think they should get 3 points in this match, after this game all teams can have 3 points and this will be the most confusing group in the EURO. But I also think that Belgium will have an advantage in the match with Ukraine, although today they were good against Slovakia, it was a completely different team. Lunin remained on the bench, Rebrov decided not to risk it.

Netherlands vs France will be an exciting match.

This time France will play without Mbappe since his nose is broken, so Giroud will play. Giroud's recent performance is really bad and he's already old, it just surprising Deschamps choose him over many quality players. Griezmann can become striker, his position can be replaced with Tchouameni or Camavinga, or if he don't want Griezmann, there are still many strikers.

Netherlands might able to pull an upset I guess...

Not because his nose was broken, but according to the most recent source, Mbappe will be unable to participate because of a rule forbidding him from donning a mask with the colors of the French flag. Currently, french is trying to get permission for mbappe to play against Netherlands by substituting an uncolored mask for his French mask. 

Has Deschamps confirmed Giroud will replace Mbappe against the Netherlands? 

I would rather keep Griezmann as an attacking midfielder, and play Marcus Thuram or Kolo Muani as striker. In the last game, Thuram was left wing; Bradley can cover that position. At last, missing Mbappe is not a big problem as long as Deschamps does everything well. 

[SmartCharpa]

Spain was lucky to win today's game. Even if Italy mistakenly scored an own goal. A win is a win and they have secured today's point in the group stage. I think this is the most interesting game I watched today because when I was watching England match it was terrible to watch. I wonder if the coach wants them to qualify. This is because I don't see any reason why good players who can deliver the ball on the pitch will be kept on the bench for a complete 90 minutes without getting to play in the tournament. Players like Cole Palmer and other good England platers.

Spain dominated the game, they were only unlucky to score an early goal. Even before the match started, I doubted Italy's ability to draw against Spain, because Spain is the greatest club in Group B. Spain deserved to win the game against Italy, even before the own goal from R. Calafiori, Spain wasted a lot of chances they had to score goals. I believe that if it were not for Italy's goalkeeper, who made several saves, the team would have conceded more than one goal because Spain pressured them throughout the game.

However, I've now realized that we're wrong to think that England is the favorite to win the tournament. Southgate gathered the young players, but he doesn't know how to use them in this competition, we saw how this player performed in their main team last season, so why did England perform badly in their matches? Denmark showed an unexpected attack. Many gamblers will be disappointed when they choose England as their favorite team to win. Cole Palmer has not had an opportunity to play since the competition started. Southgate must make a few changes in their coming game because every team has a chance of qualifying in this group.

Has Deschamps confirmed Giroud will replace Mbappe against the Netherlands? 

Netherland game can be considered a very important game for France to make sure that they are on the top of the Group D before they play Poland. Mbappe trained with the team, so there is a chance he will play, even if not full time. It is his nose that is broken, not his legs which they need the most. He has a very good record against Netherlands, even though France has players who can be substituted into that role that he plays, they cannot offer the same kind of threat like he does.

Currently, french is trying to get permission for mbappe to play against Netherlands by substituting an uncolored mask for his French mask. 

This should not take time.

Netherlands might able to pull an upset I guess...

The French national team will face the Netherlands today to determine who has the right to become the group champion, so far both teams are of course very safe because they are the same collecting 3 points from 1 match, while the other team has not gotten a single point because of the defeat in their first match at this time, although indeed the two teams are currently relatively safe to qualify for the next round but I hope the match will be very exciting like see the match between two big teams later, both squads will certainly field their best players in the match later, including most likely Mbappe will also play.

In the previous match Mbappe was injured but reportedly currently Mbappe has improved and is ready to be dropped in the next match against the Netherlands, reportedly France is currently trying for Mbappe to be able to play with a face shield, previously France was prohibited to playing Mbappe in the match against the Netherlands using a medical mask or face shield colored by the French flag, because it is indeed against existing regulations and applies in the euro this time, so it is very likely that Mbappe will still be able to play but with the condition that he uses a plain or one-color medical mask and does not list the identity of the team and manufacturer.

 Poland vs Austria
 Poland will really find it difficult to win this game against Austria especially now that the away side is leading by three goals to one. Starting the game on a very high note only to resume second half and start playing with fear. What will you expect of an Austrian side who were beaten by France other than to not only defend their lines but also press to ensure they get three points from this game to enable them have a shot at playoffs.
 For me, I think Poland will have to seat this one out since I clearly don't see them coming out from this one, drawing their first game with Netherlands and losing out on this won't in any way help their case.
