Approximately half an hour from now, the final matches of Group F will be played. These matches feature Georgia vs. Portugal and Türkiye vs. Czechia. Portugal has already secured the group leadership with 6 points. Both Georgia and Czechia have only 1 point, so they must win their respective matches. However, a draw would be sufficient for Turkey to secure second place in the group.

Georgia: Mamardashvili, Kakabadze, Gvelesiani, Kashia, Lochoshvili, Dvali, Chakvetadze, Kochorashvili, Kiteishvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia.
Portugal: Diogo Costa, Dalot, Danilo Pereira, Antonio Silva, Gonçalo Inacio, Pedro Neto, Palhinha, Joao Neves, Conceiçao, Felix, Ronaldo.

It must be feeling terrible for Ukraine to say goodbye despite collecting 4 points.    If they finished Group E in 3rd place they were going to guarantee reaching next round by being one of top 3rd-placed teams.

Anyway now my concentration is all on our game against Czech Republic today. Looking at our starting 11, I don't really know what Montella is up to again...

Keeping a player who scored an embarrassing own goal as a starter must be a joke. Another thing is his choices in the attacking area. I hope this doesn't cause us to struggle more for no reason while he can build a better lineup. Even 1 point is enough for us to secure 2nd place to face Austria instead of Spain.

What is more unpleasant for Ukraine is with the same points but not qualifying because it is ranked 4th, against Belgium is not something easy even though Ukraine has tried hard in the match just that this match ended goalless we as those who watched the match were quite bored so who will qualify, we already know the results now that Ukraine is out of the Euro now.

A little upset with Samet for the own goal but I see it was a miscommunication with his own goalkeeper while Montella still has faith in the defender, he won't make any more mistakes in this Czech match because it's important for Turkey.
I'm sure Turkey will be better than the Czechs so a draw is still very possible with some other matches also ending in a draw.

If Turkey cannot get a draw in tonight match then they have themselves to blame. Their destiny is now in their own hands. They are sitting in the second position and any slip tonight will be detrimental to their quest. Czechia will come in full force tonight as they will be seeking a win so that they will qualify. This match is going to be like a final match, it's really a tough one. Turkey should come to this match with the right mentality, they should not approach this match with a defensive mindset if they do they are possibly going to lose. They should fight as if they are looking for the 3 points, they shouldn't allow Czechia to have more control of the match, this is really going to be their real test so far in this competition. Georgia are already out of the competition they won't even be a problem for Portugal tonight, as Portugal will be aiming of getting maximum points from this group.

[Palakka]

So far this is the toughest group I have witnessed in this tournament, I consider Ukraine as the best fourth place because of their performance Belgium and Romania have qualified even Slovakia have qualified since they maintained the second place 3rd best. Ukraine has been eliminated but they got knocked out with a respect not like other, what really affected Ukraine is just the conceded goals they have and also scored less goals, that why it is good to score more goals if the means is there. I really appreciate of the this teams in this group the really tried,

Scotland, Albania, Serbia, Poland, and Ukraine have added to the long list of teams that have been confirmed to be eliminated at this time, group E is the most fierce group in my opinion compared to other groups in the euro, because indeed the determination of the teams that qualify and are eliminated is greatly influenced by the results of the matches in their last match, so far Ukraine is playing quite well but they have not been lucky enough to be able to qualify for the next round and even occupy for a position third, what you said is indeed quite true, because indeed with the composition of the current players, their squad has actually developed quite a bit and may even be said to be quite great after only making short preparations after the conflict that occurred in their country.

In a competition that is indeed running very tight like the current euro, of course every team must be able to take advantage of every existing path to be able to qualify for the next round, what Slovakia has done is certainly an example that should be able to be done by Ukraine since the beginning of the competition, namely when the team is not able to win and score, of course it is very important to keep conceding as little as possible even though it is indeed have hope just to qualify from the best 3rd place Later.

The final group stage match has now started between Portugal and Georgia, while in another match an exciting match also takes place between Turkey and the Czech Republic, so let's see who will indeed follow Ukraine today to home faster from euro.

[Sim_card]

Portugal is one goal down and this is the first time that they have started their match with one goal deficit.
Kvaratskhelia was able to score an early goal on the second minutes with an assist from G. Mikautadze. It look like Georgia players are more serious and committed to win this match while the Portuguese are playing with ease, because if they win or not they have already qualified to the round of 16. Georgia are full of motivation and it is possible for them to achieve victory over Portugal if they can stop Portugal from equalizing the goal.

GEO 1-0 POR

[bitzizzix]

The Georgia vs Portugal match has just started and Georgia has already scored a goal against Portugal in the 2nd minute and the quick goal was created by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
And the match is still very long and I'm sure Ronaldo and his friends will respond to Georgia's quick goal. And I know Georgia must win this match because they still have a chance to qualify for the next round, but Portugal is also not an easy opponent for them. The early goal that Georgia scored was just luck, and the game is still very long and Portugal will definitely turn things around.

From the matches result after 15 minutes, Portugal is already losing to Georgia, which means that Turkey need to put extra effort to win their match if they want successfully qualify without any issues in the group. Although, Turkey won their last three matches against Czech Republic, they have some good hope of winning today and the win will give them more confidence in the tournament ahead of knockout stage.

Portugal on the other hand will want to have 100% performance in the group by finishing with complete 9 points, I think they can still win their match.

GEO 1-0 POR

Well the match just started, and although Georgia are off with a good start but am certain that Portugal can still comeback from this goal down and the reason why I say this is because of the way they have performed since this euro started, I believe Portugal and Spain are the teams I can boldly pick out as teams that have being doing well.

[Franctoshi]

Unfortunately for Ukraine and Slovakia, the table remained unchanged at the end of the match. I am thinking that this is unfair rule. If it is possible the 4 countries in this group need to qualify or atleast have another round of matches to decide clearly who will progress to the next stage. I will not be happy to have same wins and draws with other teams and have to progress while I return home. The have equal ability and need to be tested again for clarity of stand.
Such a tight result is an indication that quarter finals will be somewhat more competitive than what we see now.

It must be feeling terrible for Ukraine to say goodbye despite collecting 4 points.    If they finished Group E in 3rd place they were going to guarantee reaching next round by being one of top 3rd-placed teams.

I also see that many people are sympathetic of Ukraine. I didn't view the match but I read that the Ukraine side wasted alot of opportunities.

This is my first time of witnessing such a result like this in a group match where the teams won and drew the same number games and all finished on same points. Even from the way I have been witnessing result from other groups we've had quite an increasingly number of draws in this competition and this indicates how tough this season Euro cup competition is.

GEO 1-0 POR

It is the second fastest goal of the European Championship this year. It was another bad pass and a very strong counter-attack and great shot from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. And now Georgia has a chance to go to the next round because they will take the place of Ungarn. But I dont think it will stay at 1-0 today, Portugal will start some powerplay in the last minutes like in the last game and in the best case they score a goal. And if Portugal win today, they will be the second best team in the group stage after Spain with 3 wins in 3 games. Ronaldo hasnt been very good so far and we need more from him to keep the fans happy.

[Woodie]

This Georgia-Portugal game is very entertaining to watch, and looking at the intensity of the match, it will be embarassing for the star sided team not to win here because the big names are there and clearly they are playing for pride inspite securing a spot in the last 16!!

Mahn Georgia has a deadly counter attack and if Portugal aren't careful, I see them conceding another as they have committed to push more players to help in the attacking...

Portugal rotated their squad with only Ronaldo spearheading but I'd rather now see a match where Portugal presses while Georgia defends and waits for counter-attacks.

Ronaldo's free kick was saved by the Georgian goalkeeper. It was an accurate free kick.

Don't let Portugal's defense down, we don't want to lose haha let the bet not lose. Try to imagine if Georgia wins until FT that's the odds @10.1 it has.

[Swordsoffreedom]

We are not seeing the expected good performances from the big and renowned teams in this year's Euros. England, Italy, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Portugal all performed poorly. England, Italy, Belgium and Netherlands have won only one out of their 3 matches. Each team has a strong squad but fails to perform well against relatively weaker teams.



Portugal team is now playing against Georgia. Despite having talented players like JoaoFelix, Ronaldo and Danilo in the squad, Portugal is not able to perform well against a weak side like Georgia. However, Portugal won the first two matches by a large margin. Portugal won with a big margin of 3-0 against Turkey. However, Ronaldo's Belgium team is not playing well against Georgia today.

Georgia need to win here if they will qualify for the next stage in the competition, and they have done the job is the first half they just need to keep up in a second half because the Portuguese coach must make changes and team rotation that will make Portugal stronger in the second half. Portugal already have qualified for the next round of the competition but for the coach and general team, it is important that they do not go into that stage of the competition with a bad results.

[Texac]

Portugal team is now playing against Georgia. Despite having talented players like JoaoFelix, Ronaldo and Danilo in the squad, Portugal is not able to perform well against a weak side like Georgia. However, Portugal won the first two matches by a large margin. Portugal won with a big margin of 3-0 against Turkey. However, Ronaldo's Belgium team is not playing well against Georgia today.

Although Portugal dominated the match, the team could not score any goal yet. Portugal is trailing 1-0 at the end of the first half. But in the first half we only saw Portugal's dominance.

In the first half, 72% of the ball possession was done by the Portugal team. And made a total of 11 shots. Of these, there were three on target. On the other hand, Georgia's players made only 3 shots. The Georgia team scored a goal in just 2 minutes of the start of the match. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's goal gave Georgia the lead. And after leading by 1 goal naturally Georgia team is now playing defensive strategy. It will be very difficult for Portugal to break Georgia's defense in this match.

[Mame89]

The Georgia vs Portugal match has just started and Georgia has already scored a goal against Portugal in the 2nd minute and the quick goal was created by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
And the match is still very long and I'm sure Ronaldo and his friends will respond to Georgia's quick goal. And I know Georgia must win this match because they still have a chance to qualify for the next round, but Portugal is also not an easy opponent for them. The early goal that Georgia scored was just luck, and the game is still very long and Portugal will definitely turn things around.

Yes that's right. Georgia scored a fast goal in this fight, the goal was scored by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the goal was very impressive, this was the result of good cooperation with Mikautadze. So in my opinion the goal is not a luck, they are truly effective in utilizing opportunities. Georgia if they want to meet the requirements to qualify they have to score again, and hope Turkey will draw until the end of the fight, then Georgia can meet the requirements. But as you said this is a little difficult because Portugal is not an easy team. So far, Portugal is trying to score this goal, it is proven that Portugal controls the course of the match, only a few opportunities that cannot be executed properly.

I think in the second half Portugal coach will make a change in the strategy to be able to score goals, Portugal in this fight will target victory because with this victory their confidence will increase while undergoing the match in the last 16. In this match I bet for Portugal's victory, so I am still optimistic that Portugal can make a comeback in the second half.

[Jossque]

Georgia unexpectedly managed to take the lead against Portugal. I don't know how long Georgia, who took the lead through star player Kvaratskhelia, will be able to keep the score like this. It is worth noting that Portugal still hasn't found a goal despite having a heavy advantage in the match. In the other match of the group, our country against the Czech Republic  We have the ball at our feet most of the time but there are no clear goal positions yet. When the opponent is down to 10 men, you have to make the most of it. I am looking forward to see how the match will continue.

Portugal took today's match lightly. Portugal team has already qualified for the round of 16 by winning the first two matches. So the Portugal coach is not worried about today's match. This is why important and talented players like Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, Cancelo and Bernardo Silva were not kept in the starting XI. And that's why Portugal's gameplay is a bit slower today compared to the last two matches.

Georgia's striker Kvaratskhelia took the lead in just 2 minutes. Portugal's players were not ready for Georgia's quick attack. After scoring, Georgia is now playing defensively. Georgia is keen to end the match 1-0. I think this match will end 1-0. Because Georgia's defenders are performing very well in today's match.

The first half of the match has ended, and the teams are preparing to resume play for the second half. Currently, Georgia is leading Portugal by one goal. However, observing the flow of the match, it is clear that Portugal has a higher chance of equalizing the score because they are dominating the game.

Portugal is playing exceptionally well, consistently creating some good chances, but they have been unable to convert any of these chances into goals. On the other hand, Georgia appears to be adopting a defensive strategy, focusing on protecting their lead rather than pushing forward aggressively.As we wait for the second half to unfold, it will be interesting to see if Portugal will manages to equalize the score or if Georgia can maintain their defensive stance and secure their one goal advantage until the end of the match.

In this match I bet for Portugal's victory, so I am still optimistic that Portugal can make a comeback in the second half.

Instead of scoring a goal to equalize, Portugal actually made a mistake in the penalty area which made the referee award a penalty to Georgia. Georges Mikautadze, who was the executioner, did not waste any opportunities and now Georgia is 2-0 ahead of Portugal. Portugal's job to score 2 goals to avoid defeat will certainly be difficult now, but victory may not be what they are most looking for in this match.

Even though in this match Portugal lost to Georgia, in essence Portugal has secured its place in the round of 16. Georgia is trying to qualify for the next round with a high score in this match, but it also feels like it will be difficult in my opinion. Meanwhile, Turkey is also 1-0 ahead of the Czechs and this will be good for them who also secured their place in qualifying for the round of 16.
