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

[Falconer]

It was a fad to place Ukraine, Poland and France in multi bets or Parlay as winners, in the end two of the three teams failed to win the match. Of course this has ruined the fun of this day, but it doesn't matter because I know the risks.

Poland ultimately had to give in to Austria, who was able to score 2 additional goals in the second half. France and the Netherlands played out a draw, but it was a tough match for both. A draw is of course still good for France and the Netherlands, that's because both of them have a good chance of qualifying for the next round. Poland is likely to go home because they have not managed to win points in two matches, while Austria has the opportunity to qualify for the next round for the third best team.

Spain can clearly be the favorite at Euro 2024, of course they have hopes of reaching the final and winning the title. This team is good at dominating and building attacks, but this team needs to find the right solution when they have difficulty breaking into the opponent's goal who really focuses on defense.

Initially I only considered Spain to be under some big national teams like France or England but seeing the situation that occurred in the 2 matches they are currently running it seems that I have to revise my opinion because indeed for the euro now they are quite good. Not only in terms of performance but in terms of goal productivity they are also quite good so far.
The young players that Spain has provide a new nuance and a different pattern of play compared to the previous title because for now it seems that Spain prefers to direct pass or attack with the speed of the players rather than the tiki taka scheme that has always characterized them in the previous few seasons.

Obviously this is a good situation in my opinion because even though they do not dominate in terms of passing, their teamwork, especially in fast counter-attacks, is very good so they deserve to be one of the teams for the championship candidates in this event.

Well the first 0-0 of Euro occurred when really no one expected right ? especially with such a game between France and Netherlands where everyone hoped for a both teams to score and 3+ goals.

Tomorrow , I have a feeling that Turkey will score and actually defeat Portugal and I also have a feeling that Romania won't lose against Belgium.

Mbappe didn't even enter the match today. He got an injury of course but I was still expecting to see him on the pitch with a mask in the 2nd half. However I have heard something like UEFA doesn't allow players to use masks which aren't of a single colour and the team or manufacturer shouldn't be identified on it as well. As his mask was like below he couldn't play today. His absence was really felt by France as they had serious issues with scoring goals.

It indeed a strong match to take side the winner despite France seems to have uper hands over their opponent team Netherlands but the Netherlands side isn't a team to disregard. It obvious that it was a difficult thing to believe that non of the teams wouldn't have scored even a single goal because these two countries are known for their goal scoring capabilities and majority of people expected goals to have water-fall in this very match.

With the way he dislocated his nose in that incidence against Austria, it was highly unlikely for him to start or even play even though he was given a mask. I doubt they will have been able to win if he had played because even though he's a good striker, he's been known to waste good chances in his time at PSG and also for his home team.
Netherlands had one goal tonight and it was to either win the game or end in a draw cause that will give them a good edge when they play Austria next. Two games with four points is better than nothing and I'm a bit assured they will try to win that game and it will be an easy one of they play the way they did tonight against France, not letting themselves get intimidated.
 
One will say Netherlands were able to press France because of Mbappe's absence but for me, I'd say they were successful because of team spirit.

Personally I think that mbappé's absence in today's match has something to do more than the mask propaganda. That guy was obviously injured and we know how sensitive they knows is especially when you have to make some speedy runs like mbappé does. I also think that it will make no sense for France to force kylian mbappé to continue to play in the group matches when they can reserve him for the knockout stages by that time he will be healed totally.
Producing an face mask that is within the rules of Eufa shouldn't be a problem for a country like France. So I refuse that it is because of provision of mask that made mbappé not the future in today's match.

That being said I have never anticipated and easy match for France when they will have up against the Netherlands. I haven't forgotten so easily how strong did it allows were during the last time euro and even the World Cup. So if I say that the match actually met my expectation, I am not exaggerating. Hopefully in the coming matches we will watch mbappé otherwise we should look at for him in the quarter finals.

The game was tough and the result was never expected, it's kind of unusual how the Euro is going this time, the least results expected always now begins to happen, the big teams up there are now beginning to fail to perform according to their ratings. Even if these big teams win at times, it happens just so fortunately with an awful fight during the play time.

While tomorrow match is yet uncertain, Portugal have quite the best possibility of winning tomorrows match as they have a good record in the tournament and for sure Belgium are winning their match.

And just like that, Poland is pretty much out of the competition. It is a shame because they had their good moments in their 1st game against the Netherlands and in the 1st half with Austria.
They obviously have no chance for any of the top 2 group places, but in theory, they can still advance to the next round of 16 as one of the 4 best 3rd places. All they need now is a high win against France. Some have calculated that it would have to be at least 3-0.

[Dailyscript]

My bad, they never drew their first game as Wout Weghorst deprived them of that chance to take home a point. Poland should have salvaged something of the game had they maintained the same fire with which they had in the first half, equalizing after an early goal from Trauner in the 9' but going on to play complacent football on the second half.
 It was as if they knew they weren't getting any thing from the game that was why their morales dropped, I don't know because in terms of touches, they also gave their fair share to the Austrians.

It seems Poland felt reluctant after scoring their equalizing goal because I don't see any way Austra had won them after putting such a performance in the first hand. I am confused in Group D because right now all of the teams in Group D have equal points thereby using goal differences to top one another. No team yet is certain to qualify for the next round until the end of the last meeting which should be next week. In other Groups, some teams have secured a slot in the next round and some team's faith has been decided that they won't qualify for the next round while in Group D it is totally different. All the countries there have two points generally.

You are right, we are expecting some goals in this match especially from the French side but unfortunately there were no goals and both teams chose to play it safe. Now France and Netherlands have the same points and Austria in 3rd place is 1 point behind meaning Austria could catch up at any time or are these 3 teams certain to qualify for the next stage? I don't understand why from each group there are 2 and 3 teams that will qualify for the next round.

In other matches Ukraine managed to get 3 points today this means that competition in Group E is getting fiercer Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia both have 3 points while favorite teams like Belgium have not yet got a single point, but yeah Belgium still has 2 matches left which means the opportunity is still there.

FT Netherland 0 vs France 0

Its too boring watching the super big match teams in Euro after both team can't scoring any one goal yet and almost 90 minutes only has few shots on target. I am expected with super big match between Netherland vs France will score many goals but France with ball possession dominance more than 63% only had 3 shots on target.

Actually being draw is help more for France for qualifying to 16 round because last match against Poland have been eliminated from Euro 2024 after two consecutives loss, Netherland not secure yet with their position because facing Austria on last match has 3 points and one point remaining from Netherland.

For France, I feel they'd find it difficult getting a goal scoring opportunity after they could not utilize the opportunity they got through Rabiot and
Well the game has been nothing but pure brilliance from both team and all I could say is that France has improved atleast better than their first game. France and Netherlands are really the strongest team in that group and with the way the game is going I think they are going to settle it as a draw and sharing the points will be the only option.

But indeed even though they are better than what they showed in the first match but for the match at the euro this time France still cannot show anything where their finsihing is still the same bad as the first match and they are more wasting the opportunities they get.
I think this is not very good even though they are one of the candidates for the championship but seeing from the 2 matches they did it seems that our expectations should be slightly lowered.

France is just like England where they are very favorite but their matches are still very monotonous in my opinion.  With this situation if in the end the coach cannot develop the game scheme and the French attack pattern is still the same, it looks like we will see a new champion and certainly not France if their performance continues like this.

France and Netherlands are really the strongest team in that group and with the way the game is going I think they are going to settle it as a draw and sharing the points will be the only option.

If it is in terms of improvement, I'd say Netherlands were the more improved side given that France were the favorites to win the game. Netherlands came from behind to win Poland in a well fought game in their opening leg and despite not having the kind of squad the French side has, they were still able to stand their ground in this game.
 Granted, the both sides had their fair share of chances but in terms of utilizing it, Netherlands passed France.
It will be too much of an expectation to expect a goal fest considering the both sides are big teams in their rights so it's only fair to end it with both of them sharing the spoils.

France had chances, they couldn't convert them. Rabbiot was first, the other was Griezmann as they was both closet to scoring a goal this night.
I'm impressed bit they'll be facing and having a tough game to play during the last fixture of the group against Poland, Yeah? Well see how it goes.

France had all of the game in the second half but great defending from the Dutchmen as they did brilliantly to hold this one. Same goes for the goalkeeper as he did denied Griezmann a chance to score.
The substitute both side did, I expected bit that of bringing Wout Weghorst came very late and he was having no service of the ball.

[Chilwell]

Really looking forward to Netherlands vs France, let’s see what France have without Mbappe. I expect there to be more than a goal or two in this game, it could be game of the tournament so far.

Obviously I have a vested interest in watching VVD and Gakpo.

Indeed it a game of tournament because France really tried their best to take a lead but Netherland really pushed harder to make it unbearable for France, Mbappe is really a great play which I respected so much with the way he plays, I will say is absent really affected the team victory even though they are others to replace him but his present will also make the opponent scared and uncomfortable. Netherland has have it to the pick to  end the France victories against them, I was impressed with the Netherland to share the points together with France, now the are equal in point, their next match will be tough one.

How is that going to happen now? Because France isn't happy that they shared points with Netherlands and will have to bring their A-game to the final game of their group stage. It would be a tough game for sure and I don't see that happening one bit. If they really wanted a slot, the best thing they would've done for themselves was to win the most easiest opponent for themselves and that is Austria and they failed to do so. 0 points from 2 games.  I know this is football but playing against a team like France that heavily influences the game, it's a difficult job to do. We all saw how Netherlands worked tirelessly to cope.

Mbappe was really hurt in the last game no doubt but I don't think the injury stopped him from playing in today's game because he was pictured training with his team mates few days ago using a face mask but am so surprised not to see him on the pitch today not until I got the information about EUFA not accepting a multiple colored mask to be used by any player.

Nobody expected the match to be an easy encounter but the performance of France would have been better had it been Mbappe was among the players for the game not forgetting the runs that he always makes when ever he is playing but since France has the opportunity of qualifying to the next stage, we hope to see Mbappe get better even as the French team is preparing a better face mask for him.

Tomorrow , I have a feeling that Turkey will score and actually defeat Portugal and I also have a feeling that Romania won't lose against Belgium.  

The result of the Netherlands vs France game today I think was a very surprising one to football fans across the globe who has been following the developments in both teams. A lot of people were of the opinion the game was going to produce a lot of goals because of the quality of players in both teams but surprisingly, none of the two European giant nations were able to find the back of the net in 90 minutes. The first half of the game of you ask me was the more entertaining half because both teams created clear scoring chances but couldn't convert their chances of which Antoine Griezzmann's miss happens to be the most shocking miss of the game.
For France, I think they would've probably scored if Kylian Mbappe was featured in the game but after the nose injury he picked in their first game against Austria, the coach of the side never saw any need to introduce include him in the game even when majority of football fans had initially thought that Mbappe will be subbed in in the second half of the game

[uchegod-21]

Actually being draw is help more for France for qualifying to 16 round because last match against Poland have been eliminated from Euro 2024 after two consecutives loss, Netherland not secure yet with their position because facing Austria on last match has 3 points and one point remaining from Netherland.

It seems that Poland has become the first country to be eliminated from the Euro 2024 competition. I have never expected something unique from Poland whenever they come to competition even when there is a great striker like lewandowski among them. This actually show that individual does not make a team, and also lewandowski himself has aged, so the strength is no longer there to perform optimally.

Apart from lewandowski this actually applies to the country of odegaard and Halaand of the Manchester City. These two guys have fed for a long time to make names for their countries but individually in their clubs they are making good impacts. What actually could be the problem.
