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

[TelolettOm]

The officiating referee had to suspend the match because of the thunderstorm that was striking during the match just for the safety of everyone in the pitch and not because he wanted the Germans to win the game.

The suspension of the match between Germany vs Denmark for a while was quite necessary at that time. Indeed, on several occasions, the match still went ahead even though it was raining. But at that time, the conditions were quite different and they definitely didn't want anything bad to really happen. At least, they can anticipate bad things happening.

The referee's decision was considered wise enough and he did follow instructions. Yes, that's why there is a warning for heavy rain or adverse weather accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning storms that occur in the stadium. In fact it was quite loud in some corners of the stadium.

Germany is a much better team and they managed to win. I don't understand why the game was stopped. We have seen many games, it rained many times more than this rain, but the game didn't stop. It was really strange that the referee went in early. It disrupted the tempo and balance of the game. I think it was a wrong move. Maybe Denmark was going to win the game, but because of that decision the game changed. In the other match, Switzerland deserved to win, Italy was the disappointment of this tournament.

Did you actually see the heavy the down pour? The roof were licking which if not affected the player was causing problem at the stands and anything causing the fans discomfort is worthy enough to bring halt to the game. Denmark were in control not only before the game was paused but throughout the entire game, Germany got foot hold of the match when they had doubled their lead. The difference was just tiny margins that Germany were getting correctly. The misplaced passes, the lack of composure in the face of the Germany defense was what sent them back home. The second goal by Musial was a goal that shouldn’t be allowed by a team looking to progress beyond this stage.

Germany to me were lucky In the match, the Dens easily walked passed through their midfield without hesitation and created many scoring opportunities but the only saving grace was that the dens couldn’t covert. Germany most especially Kai Havertz was wasteful In front of goal and against a bigger opponent they might be made to suffer those mis chances

What a poor performance by Italy!    They changed very much in 4 years since Euro 2020, but in a negative way unfortunately. They couldn't do much today.

Congrats to Switzerland fans at the same time of course. They played fearlessly, without hesitation. They were really good in the group stage already you know. That was a sign they weren't joking at all.    From now on we are all going to concentrate on the last game of the night. I assume many of you are expecting Germany to win without doubt just like me.

Well, Switzerland has proven that they are underdog team after only draw against Germany in the group stage and today they beat Italy, obviously this doesn't make sense because Italy is one of the favorite teams but in the end Italy was eliminated early. Overall Switzerland played better than Italy we can see it based on statistics with 16 shots and 4 on target while Italy only had 11 shots and 1 on target so we can conclude that Italy's effort was very low in attacking.

Then Germany did the same thing Germany beat Denmark 2-0 which means 2 teams have taken their place in the quarter finals and we are still waiting for 6 more teams. Actually we can see 5 favorite teams there and 1 more between Türkiye and Austria it's just that we don't know yet whether there will be other surprises in the next match like the Italian match.

Switzerland showed a good tactical game in defeating Italy.
They did it well from all lines neatly. Compact between all lines including when kicking goals.
The tactics practiced by Switzerland against Italy were the same when they held Germany to a draw. In addition to Switzerland's good tactics, the victory over Italy also had something to do with Italy's performance in this tournament.

Congratulations to Switzerland and goodbye to Italy.

Switzerland had attracted my attention since the group qualifying matches. They are playing a full team game and their systems are working. To remind you, Italy was the last European champion and they were already eliminated, that's it, Italy. Also, Italy did not have a shot on goal, I guess I did not expect such a bad Italy in the qualifying matches. Switzerland looks very strong, I get the energy from them to get to the next bracket.

Italy played like a mediocre team without a winning mentality, so Switzerland could appear very aggressive and win the match. If you look at the course of the match, Switzerland is indeed more worthy of going to the quarter-finals, it's a shame that Italy was eliminated sooner than I expected. The two goals scored against Italy looked very beautiful, Spalleti fleet couldn't do much in that match.

Switzerland will get more attention in the future after successfully eliminating defending champions Italy, they are on fire in their best form. It is possible that Switzerland will make another surprise in the next round, but it depends on whether their opponents are England or Slovakia. I assume Switzerland will face England in the quarter finals and perhaps the Swiss journey will be stopped by England.

It has been visible since the start of the Euro that Italy is playing like the country of Mediakor, I would not be surprised by this 2-0 result from the way they faced Spain and they played like that, it is very clear that the Italian game and players have declined since Buffon's retirement. Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and several important Juventus players who were not called by Luciano Spalletti, have lost the title of defending champion in the hands of Italy.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I wonder the kind of formation Southgate is planning on using in today's game, I just hope this won't be the last game England are going to play in this tournament because they have been poor in performance and they don't look like a team that wants to improve, teams like Denmark are even better in terms of play even though they were eliminated from the competition, I think they (Denmark) are still better. Many players who are doing well in their various clubs but they fail to represent their country side by playing the way they used to in their respective clubs.
England need to convince the fans that they are still favorite to win the competition which I doubt but with the squad they have I think the fans still have hope of seeing the 3 Lions advance to the next stage. Going against Slovakia won't be that hard for the 3 Lions but is only if the manager Southgate make some changes from the midfield to the attackers that's when we can see them play a better football. My question is why wait till the pressure is on you Mr Southgate before making plans on removing those errors you call players?🤔 Are they running politics with the team?

The two goals scored against Italy looked very beautiful, Spalleti fleet couldn't do much in that match.

Spalletti made substitutions very late and Italy began the second half very terrible too but after they got a second conceded goal, Spalletti needs to make 2 or 3 player changes quickly. 10 minutes after the second conceded goal, he must do it because Italy lacked of idea for attacking and with 2 conceded goals, not only one, they must attack more seriously.

Players of Italy had problems in this match, like lack of energy and motivation but Spalletti is responsible with his very slow responses in tactic and play substitutions too. Fagioli did not do this task well as a central midfielder and I am shocked to see he played the full match.

Switzerland will get more attention in the future after successfully eliminating defending champions Italy, they are on fire in their best form. It is possible that Switzerland will make another surprise in the next round, but it depends on whether their opponents are England or Slovakia.

Switzerland played well and dominated the match, they did not give Italy any chance to create danger on their goalkeeper. Switzerland played like with a weak team that join a first Euro ever in their national team history. It's impressive that Switzerland did it with Italy, one of most successful national teams ever and is champion of Euro 2020.

Last Euro, Switzerland won over France and now they beat Italy, this national team are very good in latest Euro and World Cup.

They're like Napoli, failed to defend the Competition nicely. They didn't end this Competition the way I wanted I expected more from them honestly.

I saw a game they played during the group stage and I knew they wouldn't be going far again. Swiss did great, they've qualified for the round of 16 consecutively within the last two Euros Competition.
As they should, fearless and bold. You see why football is not played on paper? They had the highest probability of not winning the game but Fvck it!!

Germany, Spain and Netherlands are my countries to win this Competition. English is out of the picture, but I'm expecting them to leave me stunned.

[Bitcoin_people]

Where I thought Italy would win the Euro Cup round of 16 Italy vs Switzerland match. But against Switzerland, Italy team performed very poorly due to which they lost and they were eliminated from the knock out stage. It's really sad for Italy that they didn't beat a team like Switzerland but lost anyway Switzerland played well enough to qualify for the next round.

Denmark vs Germany In this match Denmark team did not perform so well against Germany due to which they lost. And the Denmark team was eliminated from the round stage but the Germany team was aggressive enough to win by two goals and confirm the quarter finals. But if the next match Spain qualify then I think it will not be possible to win against Germany because Spain is stronger than Germany. Therefore, the German team must be more tough and strong in the next match, otherwise it may not be possible to win against the opposition team.

VAR support and analysis affect referee decisions and match results. It's ridiculous to see offside or not is decided by VAR and with millimeter or one centimeter difference. It destroys football from decisions, results to emotion. Denmark felt it painfully from their loss and a Belgium striker Lukaku felt it too.

VAR can be manipulated too, we never know how fair and correct it is used in VAR room. Who will be able to make sure VAR application is not manipulated by UEFA or FIFA?

Kai Havertz in German team and in his club is different and Kai reminds me about Podolski who usually did not play well at his clubs but with German team, he did his performances better and even impressively.

Where I thought Italy would win the Euro Cup round of 16 Italy vs Switzerland match. But against Switzerland, Italy team performed very poorly due to which they lost and they were eliminated from the knock out stage. It's really sad for Italy that they didn't beat a team like Switzerland but lost anyway Switzerland played well enough to qualify for the next round.

If it is not Switzerland, Italy could lose bigger because their midfielders left so much space for Switzerland players to make distant shots. Switzerland did not exploit this space too well but in the match, they played well generally and will try to go farther than quarter final, better than Euro 2024 in England.

Switzerland played very well. they prove that Italy can no longer rely on their past glories. Switzerland gained confidence to continue in the next round. Italy may have been favored earlier because of the great country's history. but now we can see how competition in Europe has become tougher. Since the start of this year's Euro, Italy has not performed satisfactorily.

maybe we will see some of the favorite teams also lose, which will be more interesting at this Euro.

[Despairo]

I've predicted Switzerland will beat Italy, but I didn't expect Switzerland can dominated the match and Italy can't score a goal. Switzerland haven't show their full potential though, they went aggressive and after they scored 2 goals, they choose to play defensive and waiting until the match ended.

Germany beat Denmark is nothing surprising.

Today the match England vs Slovakia would be interesting, is there someone will bet draw in this match? I see a possibility since England isn't that good, they can't beat Slovenia and Denmark.

[Liliana1304]

Switzerland cannot afford to get complacent because Italy can take them by surprise. They are in control right now, doubling their team work and covering every lose ends but one false move can be costly. Take the mistake of Fabian Schar that would have resulted in an own goal for instance.

Italy are so desperate and the home side are not making it easy for them, increasing the frustration of the champions. Today might just be the day Switzerland win their opponents after so many attempts at trying.

Switzerland really silenced the Italian fans today by winning the match 2-0 without reply. I actually didn’t expect Italy to lose today’s match considering Italy were the favourites to win but in reality it didn’t happen so Switzerland deserved to celebrate their victory today after producing more good attacks in today’s match. And it looks like in the other matches in the round of 16 this time there will be more surprises from teams who are not the favourites to win.

No one saw this defeat coming else Luciano Spalletti would have given his men more talk during the breaks. I'm not really surprised they got knocked out because right from the start, they weren't playing like the Italy we know; no drive, no threat. They found it challenging winning their games that ordinarily should have come easy for them.

It looks to me that their morale got dampened after their encounter with Spain. They were utterly humiliated, confused to the point of awarding an own goal.
The tournament keeps getting interesting and now they've been knocked out for their lack of seriousness, I hope England gets the same treatment.

It has been visible since the start of the Euro that Italy is playing like the country of Mediakor, I would not be surprised by this 2-0 result from the way they faced Spain and they played like that, it is very clear that the Italian game and players have declined since Buffon's retirement. Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and several important Juventus players who were not called by Luciano Spalletti, have lost the title of defending champion in the hands of Italy.

Italy played very slowly and gave the impression of being boring, they also had difficulty creating opportunities which resulted in defeat by Switzerland. This result is not surprising because Italy played very badly in the group stage, communication between players was not well established which led to several fatal mistakes. Switzerland managed to dominate the match well, they did not leave the slightest gap for Italy to develop their game.

Italy failure to retain the Euro trophy was not too surprising because their game was very poor, the players' self-confidence fell very easily, making their game even more chaotic. After Switzerland managed to eliminate Italy in the round of 16, Euro 2024 will present a new champion. Germany as the host still has the status of the favorite team to win this tournament, Spain also still has a big chance, but France and Portugal also still have the opportunity to give a surprise.

I was really surprised by the lackluster performance of the Italian team yesterday, because I was one of those people that thought that due to the experience of the Italian in major competition like this, they would be able to put away the Switzerland team easily, but it happens the other way round, the swiss team easily defeated the Italian which was really a surprise to me, but to be frank, the performance of the Italian was very poor, I expected better from them as defending champions but they were a total disappointment.

And as for the German team, a big congratulations to them for making it to the next round, no doubt that they are one of the favourite to win this competition, but they really need to improve in the final third, because they can't afford being wasteful in front of goal against one of the top contenders in this competition, if not, they would pay for it dearly, they can't be putting too much pressure on Musiala, and be expecting him to make a difference every time, because he is just a 21 year old.

The poor way of playing of the Italian players has been clearly visible since the group stage and what really became visible again was during yesterday's match against Switzerland. This means that the Italian players today are very different from the Italian players in the past, as in the example you mentioned, so it is clearly not surprising that Italy lost by that score. And I think if Italy's opponent had not been Switzerland, there would have been more goals against Italy in that match.

The Italian team was very lucky, so they managed to qualify for the round of 16. Italy played against Albania, Spain and Croatia later in the group. Only against Albania. The Italian team won. The performance of Italy's players against Croatia's opponents was not good. A last-minute goal earned Italy 1 point against Croatia and qualified for the round of 16.

Switzerland's players were very confident even in the knockout round match. Switzerland's players made good use of the weakness of Italy's defense. Switzerland took a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half. Switzerland got a 2-0 lead by scoring another goal at the beginning of the second half. After falling behind 2-0, the Italian team could not make a comeback.

This result is not surprising because Italy played very badly in the group stage, communication between players was not well established which led to several fatal mistakes. Switzerland managed to dominate the match well, they did not leave the slightest gap for Italy to develop their game.

Italy played worse than three matches in their group from intensity to motivation and how they attack, create opportunities. In this match with Switzerland, Italy did not show any signal that they want to win it. After a first conceded goal, then a second one, they played in a same way that is unacceptable with a big team like this. They can lose a match, lose a battle and fail to defend their trophy but losing like this is terrible.

And as for the German team, a big congratulations to them for making it to the next round, no doubt that they are one of the favourite to win this competition, but they really need to improve in the final third, because they can't afford being wasteful in front of goal against one of the top contenders in this competition, if not, they would pay for it dearly, they can't be putting too much pressure on Musiala, and be expecting him to make a difference every time, because he is just a 21 year old.

Germany shown good strength in first three matches and they shown it in a round of 16 match with Denmark too. They got luckiness and support from VAR, referee but their quality is good, performance is well too and in general, they deserve to win than Denmark. There are controversial moments in the match and Denmark can feel that they deserve to equalize the result. But with good performance from Germany, I believe they will be able to find another goal and beat Denmark eventually.

[Justbillywitt]

Switzerland was the favorite in this match. I didn't like Italy in the group stage, this is maybe the worst Italy team in recent times. They are inexperienced, they don't know what they are playing, players are disconnected from each other, they can't threaten the opponent, they are a bad team overall. Switzerland is a system team with good players who have been playing together for years. They have participated in all the last tournaments and have made some progress. It was a well-deserved win today.

Even before the match started I knew it was end of the road for Italy. The Italian side are not at their best recently, this wasn't the Italian side the were crowned champion in the last edition of this tournament. Their group stage matches were absolutely rubbish, they never won any convincing match. They should have left at the group stages. I wished it was Croatia that qualified in their place instead. Now that they have exit the competition, they should take time and build their squad, they should build a squad that will be able to compete for the world cup, if they still use these crop of players they won't even qualify for the world cup, even if they manage and qualify, they won't go far. The Italian team we used to know are known for their strong midfield, defense and attack, but this time around they are just a mare shadow of their former selves.
The was no connection among the players and the coach looked like someone that was lost with ideas and confused on what to do. Switzerland really deserved to advanced. Congratulations to them.

[xzone]

Germany defeated Denmark 2-0 in a hard-struggle match played at BVB Stadion Dortmund, advancing to the quarter-finals. The goals were scored by Germany’s Kai Havertz (penalty) and Jamal Musiala. The match was temporarily halted during the first half due to heavy rain, and the players went to the locker room. However, play resumed after the rain subsided. With this victory, Germany will face the winner of the Spain-Georgia match in the quarter-finals.

We will watch a very good match in the quarter finals. It is not very difficult to predict which team will win the match between Spain and Georgia, I do not think we will see any surprises.
The match between Germany and Spain will be very exciting. It was nice to watch such a match in the quarter-finals, Germany will probably win that match too

After falling behind 2-0, the Italian team could not make a comeback.

Spalletti's tactics turned out to be ineffective at this Euro, the defensive tactics are outdated, if only because they managed to make only one shot on target in the entire game, this is too weak an indicator, and after such weak games with Spain and Switzerland, and the loss of the championship title, Spalletti would rather in total will be fired. Germany looked very good, I liked the way they controlled the ball and overall the influence of Negelsmann was felt, I thought that Denmark could provide more resistance.
