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

[Abu-Naim]

Turkey didn't have that performance to compete with Portugal even when some people's was predict that Turkey will going to destroy the Portugal in easily way i know that it will no be possible, because with how the Portugal have the so much performance no one will have hope for turkey that they able to defeat them, and with tye result given currently now is show that turkey will not have any single goal again, because Portugal is leading them by 3:0 and it will hard for them to equalize back since they only less than 15 minutes remain I don't think turkey can bring any positive results in this dai minutes.

When you check the list of players in the Portugal squad, you will know that they are not in the same level because almost all Portugal players have played in the European top teams; and they have Ronaldo to make the difference because he is the best  player in the squad.

3-0 is not bad for Turkiye, it is a manageable result for them even though they are losing the match, they get this hype and hope of winning Portugal because of their performance in their first match, but I am very sure Turkey will qualify to the next round because they will definitely defeat Czechia in their last group stage match while I am also sure that Portugal will also win their to have a 100% performance in the group.

Really easy work for Portugal, I thought Turkey would put up much more of a fight.

Portugal will have much harder tests than they got tonight later in the tournament but must feel good for them to effectively be able to rest players in their final group game now.

As a result of poor squad selection and wrong tactics, Türkiye fell 2-0 behind in the first half. The interesting thing is that Portugal has also slowed down the tempo and is playing as if the match is over. I guess they are using their power sparingly. They won't take too many risks as long as the score is like this. It's important for the teams to stay healthy. In the last 15 minutes the tempo has dropped a lot, which is in Portugal's favor. If Türkiye can't find a goal, it looks like the game will continue in the same way. Substitutions must be made to affect the match.

Portugal completely dominated this match, in the first half they were able to close it out with Türkiye 0 - 2 Portugal. This should be enough to lock in the 3 points they will get and ensure their position in the knockout round. But they didn't stop there, Bruno Fernandes then scored the third goal for Portugal in the 55th minute. There is still a lot of time left, I think it's possible that we'll see 1 more goal that will happen, who knows where it will come from, it could be from the Turkey side or it could also be Portugal who adds to their lead.

Right now, I'm happy since Portugal's superiority has totally helped them to wipe Turkey. The current score is 3-0. Portugal clearly has a very easy game and can still score another goal against Turkey. I believe, Turkey will not score in this game since it overconfidence in attacking Portugal, and let Portugal's attackers launch a proper counter attack.
Portugal is now lead Group F having gained three points over Turkey. Arda Guler's substitution into this game has little effect on Turkey's performance since Portugal played the top defenders.

In the end, Turkey's erratic performance has cost them three points; thus, Portugal is in first position.

The coach's squad selection did not please the fans because he made an unexpected squad choice and did not allow Turkey to show its strength on the field. Portugal is a strong team and I know they are a better team than Turkey, but Turkey's first 11 choices were more beneficial to Portugal.

Portugal did not push itself too hard and used its power sparingly. I didn't think Turkey would come out with such a squad. I think the coach's preferences will change in the next match.

I knew that Arda Güler would contribute to the game, but it is not right to bring Arda into the game and expect something when the score is 3-0. I think it is a wrong choice not to play them in the first 11 when there are players like Arda and Kenan. If the players have minor injuries, it is a mistake to enter the game. If they do not have any injuries, they should have played in the starting 11.

The coach made the wrong choice because the first eleven of turkeyi that played in their first game played very well and should have been the same team to start this game. Arda Guler would have been a threat from the beginning of the game for Turkeyi. Turkeyi will regret missing that first early chance they had to score Portugal, that would have made their game plan more to work, but after they missed it, and they were scored by Portugal, they lost composure and that resulted in the break in communication that caused the second own goal. 
For Ronaldo who chose to pass to Bruno than score, was it due to unselfishness, or a drop in his confidence that he could score from there?

[ILuckyGuyI]

Montella had a big role in this heavy loss. That's for certain! Why would you make changes in your starting XI? Unless you have no option to do so you must continue with the winner lineup.

He said Arda was fatigued. I don't believe he wasn't in condition not to be a start for this game. If these players can't play games by only a 3-day break then how can we do something in Euro 2024?    It was Montella's fault. I didn't understand why he insisted on keeping Samet on the field until he got injured either. He literally scored a ridiculous own goal. Send him to the bench already! Don't you have any other defenders to take his place?

[MK-74]

Today we saw that Montella is a very good coach. He put a disgraceful squad on the field. Turkey lost 3-0 to Portugal. Turkey needs to win the last match or draw to advance from the group.

The Czech Republic-Georgia match ending 1-1 was very good for Turkey. We can also advance from the group as the best 3rd.

I think the Portugal team has more balance players than  Turkey because almost all the players in the Portugal team are regular starters in their respective teams. The presence of Ronaldo is a big boost to the Portugal team but that didn't stop Turkey from performing well in the game become watching them today I saw a team that is full of fear in them, a typical example is the mistake that led to the own goal there was no proper communication between the defenders and the gowl keeper.

3:0 down and you expect them to level the scoreline that's amazing, Portugal has already won the game as the game ended long time ago and I think they are looking forward to the knockout stage.

I won't blame the coach. He plays the players that were active and informed in training and with the game plan he has arranged he feels these are the players that are capable of executing the game. I think the players were confused when they saw the plan was not working in the pitch for them. They tried several ways to re-strategize but were unable.

If he had known he would have played the same pattern in the last game, perhaps a goal or two would have come out before the end of the match. I am not really happy that they were unable to score even a goal because I had played the both team to score in the match. Today is one day for the bet to lose, however, it's nothing to worry about we go again another day.

-snip-

The first half has ended with a temporary victory for Portugal with a score of 2-0 over Turkey, both teams played very impressively and even endangered each other defenses, so far Portugal has been able to dominate the match a little, but although Turkey is often under pressure but in my opinion they are still able to give resistance to Portugal, but indeed the Portugal defense built by Pepe and Cancelo is currently quite solid In breaking every attack made by the Turkish attackers, the first goal from Silva of course still make Portugal even more ambitious to get the next goal, but unfortunately for Turkey when a ridiculous blunder made by Akaydin and resulted in a goal that made their spirit collapse.

Throughout the first half I saw Ronaldo play quite well and of course he can still perform quite great so far, but there was a little bit of a bother me when the Portuguese players got the ball and created chances, but it seems that they are more inclined to throw away those chances than pass them to Ronaldo, is it just my feeling or are you all aware of it?

Portugal was 0-3 ahead of Türkiye, Bruno scored the third goal for Portugal after receiving a spoiled assist from Ronaldo. This was a good victory to maintain until the end, but it does not rule out the possibility of additional goals because Portugal did not reduce their attacking tension.

Regarding some comments regarding Ronaldo's lack of involvement in Portugal's attack scheme, it feels like this is just part of the game strategy. Ronaldo has not been used as a target man in the last few matches, he only opens up space while other players use space to score goals. It's not true what you feel, even here Ronaldo doesn't need to score a goal to win the match.

It is a good strategy because their opponents will focus more on Ronaldo than the other players which will make them stay unfocused on the other Portuguese players who are likely to be the player that will score the goals. Ronaldo is play as an elder in the team and needs to provide space for his younger ones for them to be able to score.

It was a good performance from Portugal team, because there was a lot of criticism in Portugal's last match against Czech, that it was a narrow escape for the Portuguese. Portugal is on clear standing to the round of 16 because they are now on 6 points. Most big countries have not being able to achieve to consecutive wins so far.

[Chilwell]

Really easy work for Portugal, I thought Turkey would put up much more of a fight.

Portugal will have much harder tests than they got tonight later in the tournament but must feel good for them to effectively be able to rest players in their final group game now.

Now they will feel comfortable in playing their last game in group, the game was great and am very excited because the king had one assist but what I need from him is goals, so he can clock 900 goals before the end of the tournament but still he have set a lot of records which are :

 The most goals in Champions League history
 The most assists in Champions League history
 The most goals in EUROs history
 The most assists in EUROs history


Lineups for tonight

Belgium vs Romania

Belgium XI: Casteels; Theate, Faes, Vertonghen, Castagne; Tielemans, De Bruyne, Onana; Lukebakio, Lukaku, Doku

Romania XI: Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu; Marin, R.Marin, Stanciu, Man, Mihala; Dragus

Belgium have really declined in this tournament this time around, this will be their second and the have zero point which make them stay at the bottom of the table, do you think the can still make because the still have two matches remaining including this one, will Romania too give up their chances away just like that,

What is your thoughts?

I hoped Turkey would put up a tough fight in this match, but in fact they really couldn't. Portugal won with a score of 0-3 over Türkiye and this was natural because the difference in squad depth was very real. On average, players from Portugal are important players for their respective clubs, while we only get a few Turkish players who are important players at club level.

So far Portugal are one of the favorites in this tournament, so I think they will try to prove themselves worthy of being favorites. There was indeed some miscommunication in Portugal's game especially when they build up to attack, but that won't be a problem as long as they can win 3 points.

[coinlocket$]

Easy win for Portugual, they have not earned a spot in the top 4 favorite for the final win imho.
Meanwhile Belgium is winning after 2 minutes versus Romania.

They needs the 3 points desperately after the underwhelming result of the 1st game.


Cristiano is the king of Europe now with the most goal scored and the most assist done in the cup.

GOAT.

Today we saw that Montella is a very good coach. He put a disgraceful squad on the field. Turkey lost 3-0 to Portugal. Turkey needs to win the last match or draw to advance from the group.

The Czech Republic-Georgia match ending 1-1 was very good for Turkey. We can also advance from the group as the best 3rd.

Unbelievable with Turkey have defeated by Portugal over 3-0 and must secure last three points or getting draw on last match against Czech Republic,
current standings  Turkey have three points and Czech Republic as the last opponent team have one points but still get opportunity finish as 2nd standings of Group F if can beat Turkey on last match.

Tukey head coach, Vincenzo Montella have forget with bad result after defeating by Portugal and improving his team performance being draw or getting three points to get second place standings. I think playing more defensive for last match is good ideas for Vincenzo Montella if want get one place on 16 round and less possibility for getting best third standings place get qualify to next round if defeat by Czech Republic.

I knew Turkey couldn't do much in this match. Their self-confidence increased a lot in the previous match, but the team is not a good team, they are very young and everyone can feel their inexperience. If you make such simple mistakes against a team like Portugal, you will concede three such goals. They could have even conceded more goals, they will have to be more careful in the next match

[Minor Miner]

The strongest team in Group E is Belgium. But unexpectedly the Belgium team was defeated in the first match against Slovakia. Despite having such a strong squad, Belgium lost 1-0 against Slovakia. So Belgium will want to win today's match by any means. Belgium has no chance of qualifying for the next round if they lose this match.

Belgium is trying to dominate the match from the beginning of the match. Youri Tielemans scored from Lukaku's pass in the second minute. At the end of 20 minutes, Belgium's players managed to make a total of 6 shots and had 70% of the ball possession. Belgium players are not allowing Romania's players to create any attack opportunities.

[CLS63]

It was much worse than I expected. We couldn't do anything in defense against Portugal. I was aware of the weaknesses in this area already. But I still thought we would be able to answer with our offense at least.   Vincenzo Montella is being criticized a lot with his player choices for this match. We still have a big chance for next round. We must prepare well for the Czechia match. Even one point is enough for us in case Georgia don't defeat Portugal. But we must play for the win to not leave it to chance.

Belgium had no other choice but to play so dominatingly to secure a ticket to the next round. They have to really win the game with total attack, while they also have to balance it out with good concentration in defense. So far Domenico Tedesco's plans have gone well in the first half, but he must be able to motivate his players enough to score additional goals during the match.

In the 30 minutes of the first half, you are right that Belgium dominated. They made more shots and controlled the game. It's a great start to expect Belgium to secure 3 points, but 1-0 is still at risk. Even if Belgium is considered the favorite, in reality they really have to fight to win tickets to the next round due to the unexpected defeat to Slovakia.

Turkey's confidence slumped during the match with Portugal their defense was a bit weak where they made a blunder which ended up being the second goal for Portugal which is clearly not something that is expected but Turkey still has a chance to fight the Czech despite the draw because I don't feel sure Georgia will win against Portugal.

I see that Turkey has tried several times in the attack but it still failed, we know that Portugal's defense has a famous defender who is experienced so it will not make mistakes and is strong for that line.
I will not be discouraged because Turkey can still qualify with Portugal.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Belgium have really declined in this tournament this time around, this will be their second and the have zero point which make them stay at the bottom of the table, do you think the can still make because the still have two matches remaining including this one, will Romania too give up their chances away just like that,

What is your thoughts?

Belgium is currently playing a good and defensive game with he a higher ball possession ever since they scored their first goal by Youri Tielemans at 2 minutes into the game, which was a very good start as a remedy to their last defeat against Slovakia few days ago. But with the way the match is going, I think this game is likely to end Draw if Belgium makes any slightest mistake, due to the fact that both countries need this 3 points to move top at the group stage. But however, lets watch and see how it goes, as I'm pretty sure this game is likely to ends either draw or home win in favour of Belgium.

[iBaba]

It's not true what you feel, even here Ronaldo doesn't need to score a goal to win the match.

What happened today between the Portugal and Turkey is an incredible one. Having watched the match, it is obvious that Portugal had a balance throughout the game only that Fernandez played an immature game during the first half and did not act well when he should.  But I was so impressed with the level of maturity that was played by Ronaldo in the second half which made Fernandez the goal scorer when Ronaldo had the opportunity and the experience to make the goal, he didn't hesitate to take the move of passing it to Fernandez to score the goal. I think, football is a game of experience and humility and Ronaldo was able to prove both today with this moves.

I feel like Turkey has a weak defense and is not well organized to tackle or defend the efforts of the Portuguese. This also led to the miscommunication that caused the embarrassing Own Goal caused by the Samet Akaydin. If Turkey wishes to go far in this tournament, they must work towards it and not otherwise.
