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

[aylabadia05]

In fact, we already thought that the Switzerland vs Germany match would be a difficult and fierce match. But I didn't expect it and was quite surprised when Germany was 1 goal behind from the first half and 90 minutes had passed. They did manage to equalize the score in the added minute of stoppage time but that still doesn't make those of us who bet on them happy. Because in this match we saw that Switzerland really made a strong defense which made it difficult for Germany to make the right attacks. Maybe the reason could be because Germany already feels secure in their position and their motivation is not as high as usual. But yeah, this still makes me quite annoyed.

I actually hoped that Germany would fall behind first so that the match would be more exciting, but when it entered the final minutes, the feeling had changed to a little fear, fearing that German players would not be able to score goals to equalize the score. If that doesn't happen, then my bet loses.

I admit that Switzerland has a very good defense and they really defended well after Switzerland was 1 goal ahead. If in the first half Switzerland didn't defend too much, then in the second half they really put their full concentration on defense.

For today's match, Spain will face Albania and well, this should be a match that is also quite easy to predict the result of, where Spain will definitely be the favorite and they should win quite easily. But for the Croatia vs Italy match, I think it will be quite difficult to predict. It will be the same as the Switzerland vs Germany match which is also quite difficult to predict.

Spain are likely to rest some of their key players as they have already secured qualification. If this is the case, Albania will be looking to make a big play while hoping Italy fail to beat Croatia.

Croatia vs Italy is a very important match for both teams... The winner can be in second place, but on the condition that Albania does not beat Spain... Now in this group any team can be in second place... Spain are already guaranteed first place and can play Albania with a reserve team... It will be interesting to see how Croatia will play and whether they can beat Italy...

Croatia is indeed at the bottom of the standings and only has 1 point, but for some reason, it feels like Croatia actually has a pretty big chance of getting through to the Round of 16. Italy is indeed a big team and definitely a difficult opponent but if you look at how Italy and Croatia played against Spain, what I see is that Croatia have the strength and motivation that will give them the potential to beat Italy.

The match that will take place in Group B will indeed be very interesting. Especially Italy's match which will face Croatia, which is currently ranked bottom in Group B. It is quite ironic to see Croatia's condition, which is actually quite the favorite but apparently has not won even once and even only managed a draw against Albania. So it would be very natural if Croatia would also be slightly underestimated in the match against Italy. But I don't think Croatia will make today's match a bad match for them. And they could make a surprise by beating Italy and qualifying for the round of 16. But if you look at the results of the previous match, Italy could actually be much more expected to win. Because Italy only lost 1 - 0 to Spain. Meanwhile, Croatia lost to Spain with a score of 3-0. And Italy managed to beat Albania, while Croatia could only hold Albania to a draw. If you consider this, I think Italy will indeed be the favorite and win the match.

In the encounter Germany needed  draw, and they got it to top the ground A, it was a very difficult game for them, the Switzerland is a very good team,  well organised in the defence and Germany finds it very hard to penetrate it. The late minute goal gave Germany and edge to escape Spain in thr knockout stage.  Switzerland will have to wait for the game between Italy vs Croatia to know their next opponent in the round of 16.

Italy will qualify to the next stage, i don't see Croatia winning this game,  they had not won any game in the competition,  they played poorly and Italy are really in form. It will be interesting game but I'll stake on Italy to win.

Germany and Switzerland both need a draw to qualify for the group phase and it is realistic for Switzerland that it will be difficult for them to beat Germany so this draw is fair enough for both of them to qualify from the group phase.

But Croatia also shouldn't be underestimated, they have a lot of experienced players who can be dangerous for Italy, I think Croatia and Italy still have the same percentage to qualify, because no matter what, Croatia is still a great team in Europe that cannot be underestimated.

[Polkeins]

It would be impossible if Germany had to lose at home. Their dignity as hosts would be humiliated when 2006 was repeated with Italy. I think in the next match we will focus on reaping a win rather than giving victory to the opposing team, even though their points are safe.  that doesn't mean the enemy team will find it so easy to win against Germany.

Rather than dignity Germany had to finish their group as the leader not to have a matchup against Spain next round already.    The goal came pretty late though but Fullkrug saved them a better matchup probably.

So far I've enjoyed the Euros. There has been a high tension in most of the matches. It feels like we are watching a better tournament than Euro 2020. Currently I see Germany one step ahead of all the others. The result last night stems from being a little complacent after 2 wins imho.

Today Group B matches are going to finish. Spain have secured the 1st place so anything can happen in their match against Albania. I think Italy - Croatia will be a close one. I see Italy one step ahead to get the win.

Euro 2024 is much more interesting than the last Euro, but then the world was still dealing with the consequences of the covid and in general the atmosphere of the holiday as such and was not, after all in not the best environment was held last Euro. In addition, many teams are now playing much stronger, for example, the Spanish national team again played like in its best years in 2008-2012, many teams like Switzerland, Austria, Albania show interesting soccer and learned to play very disciplined, which previously could only do top teams like England, Germany or France.
It also seems that at this Euro there are practically no weak teams, all teams are gaining points, at least one and this indicates an extremely competitive struggle in all groups.  
P.s It should be added that only the Polish national team has 0 points in the group, but they still have a chance to correct this situation and gain at least one point.

Croatia is indeed at the bottom of the standings and only has 1 point, but for some reason, it feels like Croatia actually has a pretty big chance of getting through to the Round of 16. Italy is indeed a big team and definitely a difficult opponent but if you look at how Italy and Croatia played against Spain, what I see is that Croatia have the strength and motivation that will give them the potential to beat Italy.

It will be too much of an expectation to think Croatia can do something against Italy. Although in past tournaments, they've been known to cause trouble in the dying stages and salvaging something for themselves but i beg to exclude this competition. It's bad that they haven't won any game in their group and one will say this will be a motivating factor to do something, just as Hungary did, but against a side as stubborn as Italy? They should just forget it.

Italy will ensure they win tonight because their perch can be threatened if Albania manage to defeat Spain(another unlikely incidence but anything can happen in football), and that will mean their chances of qualifying will be slim.

The draw obtained by Switzerland vs Germany is still a profitable result for both teams. Good for Germany and also Switzerland. That way, Germany can still be ranked 1st and Switzerland can still secure a ticket to qualify for the round of 16 by being ranked 2nd.

Croatia cannot be underestimated. Even though their performance this time was not as good as their performance at the World Cup. But we have to remember they still have most of the same players who really have quality. So, even against Italy, Croatia can still be expected to play quite well as long as they are in their best condition. But if Croatia is still in the same condition as when they faced Spain and Albania then I don't think we can expect too much from Croatia. Luka Modric and his friends will definitely fight harder this time. Because this is like the last chance for them to win tickets to the round of 16.

Now in this group any team can be in second place... Spain are already guaranteed first place and can play Albania with a reserve team... It will be interesting to see how Croatia will play and whether they can beat Italy...

Italy with a defensive play style will be difficult to penetrate by Croatia, so I see Italy who will finish in the second position of this group because Albania even though playing beyond many people's expectations will find it difficult to beat Spain even though Spain will not play with full strength so the best result that Albania might achieve against Spain will be a draw, so even though three the team still has the opportunity to qualify but Italy is greater the chances while Croatia the opportunity becomes difficult and even closed when it fails to maintain the lead against Albania.

Croatia is indeed at the bottom of the standings and only has 1 point, but for some reason, it feels like Croatia actually has a pretty big chance of getting through to the Round of 16. Italy is indeed a big team and definitely a difficult opponent but if you look at how Italy and Croatia played against Spain, what I see is that Croatia have the strength and motivation that will give them the potential to beat Italy.

I actually thought the opposite, even though Croatia was a team that always played with high motivation but their appearance was quite disappointing, I had thought they would be a team that endangered the Spanish or Italian steps in this group but seeing how they failed to overcome Albania, doubts arose that there will be a surprise against Italy later.

The draw obtained by Switzerland vs Germany is still a profitable result for both teams. Good for Germany and also Switzerland. That way, Germany can still be ranked 1st and Switzerland can still secure a ticket to qualify for the round of 16 by being ranked 2nd.

This was not profitable for Switzerland, even though if they had won Switzerland could have won the group but unfortunately in the final minutes of the match the German team managed to score a goal and make the result a draw.
Switzerland did their best in this match but they were just unlucky.
It is true that Switzerland and Germany both qualified for the round of 16, but the group winners and runners up have differences, there is an ease in the round of 16 for the group winners who will face the other group runners up, and the opposite is true for the runners up, so the result is a draw. clearly very detrimental for Switzerland.

Croatia cannot be underestimated. Even though their performance this time was not as good as their performance at the World Cup. But we have to remember they still have most of the same players who really have quality. So, even against Italy, Croatia can still be expected to play quite well as long as they are in their best condition. But if Croatia is still in the same condition as when they faced Spain and Albania then I don't think we can expect too much from Croatia. Luka Modric and his friends will definitely fight harder this time. Because this is like the last chance for them to win tickets to the round of 16.

To be realistic, after seeing the two matches that Croatia has played and the two matches that Italy has played, it is clear that Croatia is not really the favorite, unless there is a big surprise that occurs.
Croatia's performance has fallen very far now, we can't match it with a few years ago and on the other hand Italy's performance has improved so I think Italy will have no difficulty winning the round 3 match to ensure a ticket to the last 16.

If you refer to these statistics, Croatia has no chance of beating Italy, but it is very possible that the situation will be different because usually in crucial matches there is high tension and the desire to achieve the target is very big. I wouldn't eliminate Croatia too quickly and I still have confidence they will make things difficult for the Azzurri. While Italy only needs one additional point to ensure they qualify for the knockout phase, Spalletti's troops must be wary of Croatia's threat.

[Cryptmuster]

Italy is indeed a big team and definitely a difficult opponent but if you look at how Italy and Croatia played against Spain, what I see is that Croatia have the strength and motivation that will give them the potential to beat Italy.

Spain will not let Albania win, so Italy and Croatia will have to decide among themselves who will continue their journey in this Euro. On the one hand, Croatia missed a very important victory in the match with Albania, I think that this could be their fatal mistake, but on the other hand, Italy looked very weak in the match with Spain and therefore I think that Croatia still has chances, but they are not great. Only because Italy will be enough draw, to reach the play-off stages, and they can play well defensively if necessary.

[Solokan]

although Germany has certainly escaped with two previous wins. What surprised me was not the draw, but that Germany almost lost. with their performance I'm sure they should be able to win. but it's a shame they had to settle for a draw. perhaps part of the team's strategy in preparation for the next round.
This match certainly made many of those who bet quite frustrated with the draw. they qualified and they will definitely prepare for the next, tougher match.

Indeed, if you look at Germany's performance, of course they will easily be able to beat Switzerland, but in fact Switzerland really has a good performance, of course I see that Switzerland's defense can also be called good and of course it makes it a little difficult for Germany to score goals. Yes, indeed Germany almost lost and of course I also thought that Germany would lose because in the 90th minute Germany was still behind by a goal but fortunately FUELL KRUG he was able to take advantage of Raum's crossing with a beautiful header from the middle the penalty box and the goal was scored He took advantage of the opportunity well and at the same time he became a hero for Germany because he made the score at the end of the match 1-1.

But yes, it could be that Julian applies techniques so that Germany doesn't play too hard because of course Germany will definitely qualify for the last 16 even if, for example, they are defeated by Switzerland. and if, for example, Julian implemented a strategy like that, of course that would be a natural thing, considering that the competition in the top 16 is certainly fiercer and as the host of Euro 2024, Germany definitely wants to become champion and doesn't want to be embarrassed by other teams.

Yes, of course there will be many who will bet on Germany winning and there will certainly be many who will lose, but those who bet on a draw in that match will be very lucky. Yes, sometimes the results of matches are always difficult to predict. Yes, now Germany and Switzerland have qualified for the last 16 and of course both teams must really prepare for even better performance.

Spain is in a safe position for now, they are favorites to finish as winners of Group B. The match between Spain and Albania is fairly easy to predict, where De La Fuente fleet is the favorite to secure full points. Albania best chance is to force Spain to a draw, but the possibility of a draw is relatively low because Spain definitely has the ambition to record perfect points in the group phase.

Another group B match between Italy and Croatia is the most difficult match to predict, where both teams have the attributes to beat each other. It's true, Croatia chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are lower, where Italy only needs to draw to ensure they qualify. Meanwhile, if you want to bet on the two Group B matches, I think you need a lot of consideration.

On the other hand, Spain will not force the result of the match, while Italy and Croatia will try desperately to qualify. It is possible that there will be surprises in these two matches, who knows, Croatia and Albania will finally be able to secure full points. For the most interesting match, it is clear that the Italy vs Croatia match is worth waiting for.

Well with what I have been seeing so far i really can't write out any team not even the Albania team that you saying that Spain would easily win,  we all saw how some of the competition big boys struggled to even atleast secure a draw in some of their games and Albania can also replicate that fate by scoring Spain an early goal.

[Oluwa-btc]

But Croatia also shouldn't be underestimated, they have a lot of experienced players who can be dangerous for Italy, I think Croatia and Italy still have the same percentage to qualify, because no matter what, Croatia is still a great team in Europe that cannot be underestimated.

Germany needed the win or draw so they could stay on top of the group table, this is good so they can avoid strong opponents in the next round.
I don't think they're scared though because even if you bring the Spanish side against Germany, they stand a better chance to win the game regardless regardless.

Crotian national team are different in this Competition. I'm not underestimating them but they don't stand a chance of qualification for the next round.
The game they have tonight will be a fulltime draw, they cannot win that game.

Huge respect for Scotland. They should try again next time. Next club I want to hear back home would be English. Southgate cannot get it for them.

A good fight from the Germans for not accepting defeat no matter how tough Switzerland defending tactic was. I never expected Germany to struggle for a draw but since it is football, surprise is certain. With this draw Germany will prepare themselves better for their next match in the round of 16 in order for them to advance to the next stage.

Switzerland did great yesterday even though they played a defensive game, the most important thing is that they got their host worried a d gave them a lot of difficulties before Germany managed to equalize the goal. Switzerland will also be in the round of 16, and I hope to can win that match.

There is no denying that Switzerland's players performed very well in this match. We considered Germany as the favorite in this match. And I thought Germany would win. The Switzerland coach is well aware that his squad is quite weak compared to Germany. So Switzerland was very strategic in this match.

In the first half of the match, Switzerland played a bit of an attacking strategy. Several strong attacks were made by the Swiss players. But after scoring the goal, the only task of the Swiss players was to resist the attacks of the German players. Switzerland's players played badly defensively. This is how you should perform if you want to score points against a strong opponent like Germany. I would say Switzerland succeeded in achieving their goal.

It is possible that there will be surprises in these two matches, who knows, Croatia and Albania will finally be able to secure full points. For the most interesting match, it is clear that the Italy vs Croatia match is worth waiting for.

Italy's position before this match is the best because a draw is enough for them and they are good in defense, but Croatia's defense is too weak and if they conceded 3 goals against Spain and two goals against Albania, then it is quite possible that they will also concede against Italy, and with their ability to defend, this almost guarantees them a draw. So Croatia’s chances are small, they were unable to improve their game for the Euro, and the problems that followed them at the group stage are still following them now.

[Lucius]

Croatia is really in a difficult position that tonight it has to beat Italy if it wants to continue with the competition, and on the other hand, a draw is enough for Italy. It is interesting that Italy never managed to beat Croatia in official matches.

The main problem Croatia has is its trophy coach who continues to build the game on players who are simply too old or out of shape. Expecting Modric to be the engine of the team at almost 40 years old, or that Brozovic, after he went to Saudi Arabia, to be the same player as before is completely insane. In addition, Perisic was injured for a long time and besides the fact that he is 35 years old, he is far from his old form.

If coach Dalic doesn't make cardinal changes in the team tonight, I don't see how we can expect progress in Croatia's game. In both games, Croatia played significantly better in both second halves when the substitutions were made, and I would like to see the young forces take responsibility tonight - Baturina, Sucic, Pasalic, Sosa along with Budimir and Petkovic (Kramaric) at the top of the attack from the very beginning of the game.

[Queentoshi]

Italy looked very weak in the match with Spain and therefore I think that Croatia still has chances, but they are not great. Only because Italy will be enough draw, to reach the play-off stages, and they can play well defensively if necessary.

Maybe the Italians understood their role in the game against Spain that the Spanish attack was is really good and their best approach would be to sit back, defend well and then try to make use of any opportunity they got. It was effective enough to stop Spain from scoring, but on the twist of things, they still lost the game. The Italians are not weak, but smart, and against Croatia who are having a bad competition, I think they will win that game. They will want to attack as much as they defend.

[Roseline492]

Croatia vs Italy is a very important match for both teams... The winner can be in second place, but on the condition that Albania does not beat Spain... Now in this group any team can be in second place... Spain are already guaranteed first place and can play Albania with a reserve team... It will be interesting to see how Croatia will play and whether they can beat Italy...

On the group B Spain has the upper chance than every other team on there group because already they have not lose any match and as you can see they have won there last two matches with 6 points and there today's match against Albania is very certain for them to win considering the fact that Italy won Albania 2:1 on there meeting, so if Italy that won Albania will lose 1:0 to Spain is very clear that Spain will not be very soft on Albania on there match today so if they managed to win Albania that automatically makes them the best team on there group with 9 points. But in terms of the match against Croatia and Italy I totally have no idea because they have both lose to Spain, so I'm seeing it be the most toughest match on the group B today.
