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

[emrecemsan]

After leaving the group stage behind and the draw we have, I'm expecting all the favourites to win except Italy. I just can't trust them with this poor level performance.

Italy weren't like they were on the pitch against Spain and they barely saved 1 point against Croatia as well. Life savers like this wouldn't happen all the time. Switzerland are doing pretty well. They even made difficulties for Germany you know and didn't lose to them. If they are able to stand strong there, they should be able to do it way better against this Italy. I'm afraid the last champion isn't playing good at all...  

[bastisisca]

I predict: Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Austria, England and Switzerland will win.

your prediction is not wrong, even I as an Italian am convinced that Italy will lose against Switzerland. There is no game and in the past it would have been a fairly easy match instead now it has practically become a challenging match that the Italian national team will surely lose.

[rendravolt]

It was such a crazy match that Turkey's meeting against the Czechs had to end in chaos between the players which made the referee have to issue so many cards. I know the Czechs' desire is to beat Turkey to secure the best third place after only collecting one point from the previous two matches. But I think Turkey won't let that happen and therefore they have to win convincingly if they want to qualify for the knockout rounds without any problems.

Towards the final minute, Turkey dashed Czech hopes through Cenk Tosun's goal and that was also a sign that the Czechs didn't have another chance. However, I thought it would all end well, but what happened was that all the players were involved in problems and the ones who suffered the most were of course several Turkish players who had to get yellow cards. The reason is that if they get another yellow card in the next match, of course some of their players will have to be absent and that will reduce their strength.

The only interesting match from the 1/8 finals would probably be France-Belgium. I watched Belgium-Ukraine and I'm not impressed at all by the Belgian team. Why they didn't put some effort and win against Ukraine, so that they could get a better opponent in the elimination stage?
In all the other matches, the favorites would most likely win against the outsiders. Georgia won against Portugal 2-0 but this is probably because Portugal had already won their group. Anyway, the Euro 2024 is getting more and more boring to me. Maybe the teams will start playing for real in the next stage.

Well, the excitement will start to get even more exciting in the round of 16. Because at that stage strong teams will face other strong teams. but for the Belgium vs France match, I think France will be the favorite for the majority of us. Because Mbappe and his friends are much more reliable than De Bruyne and his friends at this Euro. I think many have started to think that there is nothing special about Belgium this time. Even Lukaku seemed to have lost his sharpness at the Euro this time.

but in the round of 16 we haven't fully seen the favorite team face the favorite team. and the real excitement will definitely be in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and of course in the Final.

France's match against Belgium will of course be one of the favorite matches, but in my opinion Spain's match against Georgia might not be less exciting because of course I saw that against Portugal, Georgia managed to win the match with a score of 2-0. . Meanwhile, Spain is also of course a strong team and of course until now no team has been able to beat it and I'm sure this match will be eagerly awaited. yes, but I also don't know whether Portugal's technique is to maintain fitness when playing against Georgia or what and the coach is more concerned with the match in the round of 16. but it is true that a serious match will definitely start and of course all teams will be serious about winning the match.

 The teams that entered the top 16 are of course all strong teams and it is certain that from now on the serious struggle for all teams will begin. De Bruyne is a strong player and his performance looks good at Manchester City, but of course we will not know his performance when playing against France, but I am sure De Bruyne will fight as hard as he can to defend his country and I am sure he will do well. Mbappe is also very great and will definitely try his best and play well for France. In my opinion, in the round of 16 De Bruyne and Mbappe will definitely show their best performance and this time it is difficult for us to predict.

Of course the excitement will start in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, but now we are enjoying the excitement and competition in the round of 16 first.

I watched the Türkiye Czechia match last night. If Barak was not kicked out and the Czech Republic was left with 10 players, the Turkish National Team's job would have been very difficult.
The Czech Republic was the better side in my opinion. Even though there were 10 men in the first half, the Czech Republic had the clearest scoring opportunity of the match, but Mert blocked the goal.
Hakan scored a good goal at minute 51 of the second half.
When the Czech Republic saw the goal in their goal, they attacked and I think the goal they scored was a foul, but neither the referee nor the Var Referees canceled the goal.
After this minute, the Czech Republic attacked for the victory, but Turkey scored the winning goal with Cenk Tosun from the counter attack.
Türkiye advanced to the next round, but it is difficult in this round. They will play against Austria, whom they previously lost 6-1 in a friendly match.
I am also looking forward to the result of the match.

I predict: Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Austria, England and Switzerland will win.

Don't be pessimistic for Italy there is still hope to beat Switzerland while Italy still has a mentality in the big competition even though the game is declining I don't need to underestimate it.
Not yet seen the betting market for this knockout round, whether the odds of Switzerland and Italy are almost the same or there is a big difference, but in the match no team is looking for safety they must win if they want to qualify while Italy still has hope.

Anyway, the Euro 2024 is getting more and more boring to me. Maybe the teams will start playing for real in the next stage.

Teams are getting more and more familiar with the tournament with each match. For example, Georgia, which has never played at the European Championship, showed a great game yesterday against Portugal. I thought the Portuguese team would win with an advantage of 2 goals at least, but quite unexpectedly Georgia did it. So the teams will show great soccer in the playoff matches.

[marii awan]

Today Portugal match was really bad, of course not it was tiring, obviously without motivation, it's a pity that Ronaldo didn't score, but the level of refereeing was below criticism.

Portugal does not play with his bench strength as they already secured their place in the round of 16 but at least they have to show a good game which they didn't such a boring match it was.

[giammangiato]

..
Switzerland - Italy: probably the toughest game. Switzerland has delivered an awesome game against Germany and they have shown how dangerous they can be. Italy can never be written off with their last minute goal. That's going to be a tough and close one.
..

In fact this match worries me a lot, in recent years Switzerland has improved a lot and has a good game and a good dribbling. For us it is a very complicated match and we certainly must not make mistakes otherwise we are out. It would be nice to advance.

Italy maybe given higher chances of winning before extra time probably base on past meetings but I doubt if this match might get to extra time or penalty shootout but if it does I think it becomes more difficult to predict who would win especially in the penalty shootout because both goalie are beast in that category.

Though I think Switzerland would win, except maybe Italy might be able to use opportunity to score because Switzerland being to hold Germany to a draw is huge feet to me especially from the fact that Germany scored the highest number of goals in Group stage.

[marii awan]

The matches in Group F are over and Turkey is second and advances to the next round.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Cenk Tosun scored great goals.
I think there was a foul in the Czech goal but the referee didn't give it.
The referee showed a yellow card for every foul.

Turkey is still playing without a striker, I still don't understand what Montella is trying to do.
Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız were very bad today. Arda missed a clear goal, he just had to touch the ball.

Turkey and Czech game was very interesting as injury time goal send turkey into round of 16 a lot of fights cards rash challenges take place in this game and it was worth to watch that match .

[Polkeins]

I don't understand why people are surprised to see Georgia beat Portugal, like I said before, when a team already secured the position, they will lose the motivation to win.

See England and France, they can't beat their opponents even they have good quality. Portugal is same, they just want to play without pressure and don't mind if they lose.

Georgia played well in the previous matches, but Portugal was a clear favorite and the odds for Georgia's victory were 8.2 and this tells us that even bookmakers did not believe in Georgia's victory. Besides, I would not compare Portugal with France and Belgium, because Portugal won their previous matches quite freely, scoring a lot of goals and it was obvious that this is a team of a different level and unlike France and Belgium, the players of the Portuguese national team did not suffer on the field or did not play their matches to a zero draw, like Belgium with Ukraine, so many people thought that this time Portugal won.
Georgia were very lucky to score first, but more importantly, the referee started giving yellow cards to the Portuguese players for simulation and they stopped falling in the Georgian penalty box in the hope of getting a penalty.

[Altryist]

Austria surprised by beating the Netherlands but I'm not discouraged by Turkey because this team still deserves to win in this knockout round, maybe it can be said that the team is balanced because Turkey is also a team that cannot be underestimated.

At least with a 2-1 Czech win it's better than nothing, I know the Czechs were down to 10 men but Turkey seemed to struggle a bit but in the final game Turkey scored their winner, more disappointed that Portugal lost even though they had qualified early.

Turkey was able to win because Barak received two yellow cards too quickly, which turned into a red, this happened in the 20th minute of the match, and of course Turkey had enough time to take advantage of this, although my opinion is that the Czech Republic played very well despite that. Austria's victory was definitely unexpected, I think that many of us underestimated this team properly. Austria played a friendly match with Turkey not long ago, we all remember the result, taking this into account, I think that Austria will be able to defeat Turkey.

[marii awan]

The knockout matches has been determined and the toughest game would be between France and Belgium where I believe France would advance.
Spain, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Turkiye, England and Italy would be the favorites in their respective competition but nothing can be said sure specially during knockouts.

Teams and their clash are final now and after 2 day break round of 16 matches are on their way. Every team is good and shows a good intention so not even a single match is easy for anyone. The team that play a good game will surely win the match and proceed further.

[Solokan]

After leaving the group stage behind and the draw we have, I'm expecting all the favourites to win except Italy. I just can't trust them with this poor level performance.

Italy weren't like they were on the pitch against Spain and they barely saved 1 point against Croatia as well. Life savers like this wouldn't happen all the time. Switzerland are doing pretty well. They even made difficulties for Germany you know and didn't lose to them. If they are able to stand strong there, they should be able to do it way better against this Italy. I'm afraid the last champion isn't playing good at all...  

Indeed, Italy did not play well and was only able to reach 2nd place in Group B and also only managed to get 4 points. Of course it is natural if you believe that Italy will fail to win in the next match in the round of 16 against Switzerland.

indeed, if you look at this, of course Switzerland is superior to Italy and indeed that is strong evidence that Switzerland is indeed a strong opponent for Italy and indeed the score when Switzerland played against Germany was 1-1 and that is a good achievement achieved by Switzerland and Italy to date. They were still lucky because against Croatia the result was a draw but fortunately in the final minutes of the match Italy managed to score a goal against Croatia finally a 1-1 draw

However, Italy has now successfully advanced to the round of 16 and of course I am sure that Luciano will definitely make his men perform even better in this last 16 match and of course I am sure that Luciano will learn from past experiences. However, according to my hunch, Italy will give us all a surprise in the next match and I am sure that as the last Euro champion he definitely does not want to be humiliated in this last 16 round. and when Italy plays Switzerland, I think I want to bet on Italy winning.

[Sexylizzy2813]

England has been in this tournament with so many good and over hyped players but still nothing to show for in 3 games only 2 goals and some still see them as one of the favorite to win the tournament. Their forwards haven't lived up to the expectation with the likes of Foden, Harry Kane, Bellingham and the Arsenal man Saka, this made one of Arsenal's legend Ian Wright who loves to see Saka play, came out to say;

Wright explained: "With how naturally left-sided Saka is, can we put Saka at left-back and Palmer on the right-hand side?"

What's wrong with England? The root of the problem and the obstacle to England truly maximizing its star players is Southgate. There is no other national team like England, in every line there are important players whose contributions have been proven. But in the hands of coach Southgate everything is lost, and nothing amazes our eyes when we watch it. England will face Slovakia in the round of 16, where on paper England is superior because it consists of star players, but on the field Slovakia can actually dominate and will make England worthy of being eliminated.

They don't have a playing pattern and Southgate isn't helping out in anyway even when he sees the fans reaction to his regular playing of same players who are not making any difference. Slovakia can't be seen as a small opponent against England and if care is not taken the English team will head to extra time in that encounter because their performance is nothing to write home about in this competition. Southgate is the main reason why ex EPL players and ex England players are free to say things about his selections of players especially the one Ian Wright said on Saka to play as a left back in their next game.

[Distraction]

Recently many people have been disappointed with England's performance at the Euros, even my friend who was very optimistic about England winning the trophy seems to no longer believe it. England will play the 16th round and the challenge will definitely be more difficult than fighting in the group. If the quality of England's game is like now and nothing changes, then in my opinion England deserves to be knocked out. If you look at the back, middle and front lines, England is very capable, but when it comes to the field there is really nothing surprising for us to see. It's a bit surprising as a national team whose domestic league is the tightest but in a competition as big as the Euro has to play with poor quality.

I have read a fan's comment on Southgate on X but I can't find the source right now.    They said Southgate had Bundesliga top scorer, La Liga player of the season and Premier League player of the season all in the same squad but he was still not able to make any use of them. This is one of the best ways to state England's condition now.

It is all because of Southgate. Otherwise I believe England has the best squad in Euro 2024 now. How can you play this poorly, right? I'm glad that I'm not a fan otherwise I would be very uneasy with this situation.  

[Jossque]

After a goalless first half against the Czech Republic, the second half was very exciting. After we scored the first goal, we had an unfortunate
We saw a goal. The Czech Republic being down to 10 men was important for us and helped us to win the match. With Cenk Tosun's goal in the last minutes, we managed to beat our opponent and come 2nd from the group. I wish it would have been a different result because it was a day when Georgia also beat Portugal and we could have come out of the group as the leader maybe in the last minutes.

The atmosphere and pressure in the group stage & knockout round is different, you might see Switzerland playing quite well in the group stage, but maybe they will lose to Italy in the round of 16. Don't you remember how Italy managed to beat England in the last EURO edition?

Then, don't you look at the betting market? The odds on Switzerland & Italy are quite lopsided, which indicates that it's very likely that this match will be won by Italy. I also have no doubt that Italy will win the match, Switzerland are only good in the group, and when it goes to the knockout round, they don't have the mentality to win.

[mamesso]

I predict: Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Austria, England and Switzerland will win.

your prediction is not wrong, even I as an Italian am convinced that Italy will lose against Switzerland. There is no game and in the past it would have been a fairly easy match instead now it has practically become a challenging match that the Italian national team will surely lose.

Switzerland came out of the preliminary round unbeaten, while Italy experienced one loss, one draw and one win. This match will be difficult for Italy because Switzerland played very well at the Euro this time, it is difficult to hope that Italy can survive at the Euro with the quality of play shown in the group stage. Italy must improve the quality of its game if it wants to overcome the challenge presented by Switzerland. The match in the round of 16 will be more exciting because each team really needs a win to qualify for the next round. Luciano Spalletti must develop Italy game and increase his sharpness up front to put pressure on Switzerland.
