⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage👉1/8

[Minecache]

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.

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.

[Catenaccio]

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 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.

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.

It seems like Spalletti was only good when he was coach of the Napoli club. Meanwhile, when he coached the Italian national team, I felt that the Italian team was experiencing a setback compared to before. Spalletti has made many changes to the Italian national team. And this is what makes the Italian national team now have to go home early and fail in the round of 16. And surprisingly enough the one who beat them was Switzerland. After Italy won the previous Euro, now they failed even earlier. This is something that is indeed unexpected. It's just that Italy's performance since the group stage has not looked that good. And yes, the strategy used by Spalletti doesn't feel right.

Germany did a good job as hosts at Euro 2024. They did not disappoint their supporters in the stadium. And yes, these results are in line with everyone's predictions. Because after all, Germany has looked perfect since the group stage. And yes, if in the quarter-finals Germany faces Spain, I think it will be very exciting. But it would also feel like a premature finale.

[Salahmu]

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.

Today's match will be more easier than yesterday matches against Germany and Denmark and also Switzerland and Italy though i had already expected Germany to win Denmark but I never believe they will score up to two goals without Denmark trying to score one, however congratulations to Germany because they seem to have come back on there good form, Spain on the other hand is one of the club I admire so much for there consistent efforts on this season.

However today's match between England vs Slovakia and Spain vs Georgia, without being told we had already known the best candidate that deserve the wining, so perhaps with the performance of Spain during there group stage Georgia will not have chance against them today so is going to be one of there easiest match to win, England on the other will surely win Slovakia even if it will take them difficult time, however were the challenge will be serious is there next round because all the clubs that would qualified for next round are all good.

Switzerland managed to dominate the match well, they did not leave the slightest gap for Italy to develop their game.

Yes, Italy was really helpless by Switzerland and I actually didn't expect Italy to play disappointingly in the round of 16. At first I thought that Spalletti would make Italy perform better in the round of 16 because in the group stage Italy played less well and their performance was not good.

yes Switzerland played really great and he was able to easily break through the Italian defense and it is clear that Italy is very difficult to open the strong Swiss defense and actually I also see that Switzerland will be luckier if he can take advantage of all the opportunities that have been created and I think maybe Switzerland will score 3 goals or more. but yes, with a result of 2-0 for Switzerland's victory, of course that is a good score and indicates that Switzerland deserves to advance to the top 8.

but Italy has of course fought to the maximum and of course Italy is now forced to swallow the bitter pill because the opportunity to advance to the top 8 has been taken away by Switzerland and of course now Italy's struggle is over and ended in defeat.

Yesterday, two games were played in the round of 16 of the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship and with the results of one the games, I don't think it'll be wise enough for anyone to write a team who is generally assumed as the lesser quality team. In the game between Italy vs Switzerland yesterday, a lot of people including bookmakers were backing the European champions to get the better of their opponents but to the shock of many, Switzerland came out victorious. Germany qualified after beating to the quarter finals after beating Denmark and would face the winner of the round of 16 game between Spain and Georgia and because of the strength of Spanish team, a lot of people are hoping to see them defeat Georgia so they can watch a good game when Spain faces Germany in the quarter finals.
Just like many other who wants to see a Spain vs Germany game in the quarter finals, I also want to see that happen but we mustn't totally write off Georgia from pulling a surprise by eliminating Spain from the tournament

[Arenga pinnata]

Switzerland and Germany have now qualified for the quarter-finals. Switzerland looks like they are able to make Italy suffer quite a crushing defeat with a score of 2-0. Switzerland played much more effectively than Italy and yes, Switzerland's passing accuracy rate even looked extraordinary with a percentage of 91%. In contrast to Italy, which only has a pass accuracy percentage of only 87%. Meanwhile, Germany won and well that's not surprising.

Like Germany, I think today Spain will also be able to beat Georgia with a score of at least 2 goals. Meanwhile, for the England vs Slovakia match, perhaps England will only win with a narrow score of 1-0. England actually had a pretty good game. It's just that they are not good at completing attacks. I don't know how, but England always has difficulty dismantling the opponent's defense. But against Slovakia it shouldn't be a big problem for the England national team. because in terms of the quality and depth of the squad, it is clear that England is very superior.

[Velvet78]

What a performance by Germany right?    They really owned the game last night and didn't surprise any of us. I was even surprised about not seeing any goal in the first half.

But Denmark's resistance was broken in the early minutes of the second half. Havertz and Musiala were awesome. Especially Musiala is playing like a machine.    Nagelsmann wants to see him going on like this until the end of the tournament. Germany are absolutely going for the trophy!

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.

Football is never played on paper indeed. We have seen so many examples in this tournament so far as well. 

I understand Germany and Spain as I think the same. But are Netherlands really among your favourites? Their defense doesn't seem in good shape as we saw it clearly in their Austria game too.

[Lucius]

I wished it was Croatia that qualified in their place instead.
~snip~

There is no big difference, both teams are bad and didn't deserve to go further, the only difference is that Italy managed to beat Albania with great difficulty, and Croatia didn't even manage to do that. Unfortunately, Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic obviously does not intend to change too much in his philosophy towards the game and the players, and he stated that those who should obviously no longer be the backbone of the team will continue to play as long as they want to. Nobody can do anything to him because he has a contract for 2 more years, and apparently quite enough credit based on past successes.

yes it was on the cards that Germany would win. They had a very strong first 15 minutes
but Denmark came into the match and did quite well. It a bit bitter though to have
a goal disallowed and awarded a penalty against in the space of a minute
by the same player. That was a horror match for Andersen.

The better team won on the night. Did anyone else feel the ref was slightly more
on Germany's side?

But against Slovakia it shouldn't be a big problem for the England national team. because in terms of the quality and depth of the squad, it is clear that England is very superior.

We've found two teams that have secured a place in the next round, the match between Switzerland and Italy is the match that has surprised me the most so far, indeed Switzerland has Xhaka and Shaqiri as their star players as well as their senior players, but I don't think any of us here expected Italy to lose badly to Switzerland,as the defending champion of Euro 2020, of course, Italy is a team that has better quality and quantity than Switzerland, but in fact the fast and aggressive game from Switzerland was not able to be stopped by Italy defense which was actually quite solid.

I think after we see how the Italian team was defeated by Switzerland, of course we can't assume if the favorite team will win easily, including during the England vs Slovakia match and also Spain vs Georgia later, Slovakia and Georgia in my opinion cannot be underestimated, indeed England has so far qualified for the round of 16 as the group champion,  But their performances so far have not been good enough, as well as Georgia who can indeed make a surprising appearance in their match in the group stage, so I think Spain and England should be wary of resistance from both teams if they do not want to suffer the same fate as Italy.

It seems that even though we already have a choice as to which team will be the favorite, results that we don't expect could happen again in today's match. Italy losing to Switzerland was also one of the results of the match which was quite surprising. Where there were definitely more people who favored Italy yesterday. but the results were not what many people expected. And it is possible that in the England vs Slovakia match there will also be surprising results. but if Spain loses to Georgia then it will be the biggest surprise at this Euro. But I'm pretty sure at least Spain won't suffer the same fate as Italy. Because so far Spain has many advantages over Georgia. In fact, Spain was the only team that managed to collect 9 points in the group stage. And Spain is the only team that did not concede a single goal in the group stage. In fact, I now think that Spain is the strongest candidate to win the Euros this time.

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.

Losing his job as head coach of the Italian National Team is something we can say he definitely accepted. Spalletti failed to take Italy far in this Euro as the defending champion.
Italy, which is famous for its strong defense, has not been seen again so far. Against Switzerland, the Italian defense line was very easy to penetrate by Swiss players. Embolo's first chance yesterday which was saved by Donnarumma is proof of the weakness of the Italian defense. Vargas was also very free to make it difficult for Italian defenders to block him.

[knowngunman]

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.

Switzerland deserved the win and they got. They were the better side from the first minute of the game till the final whistle. Italy played a very disappointing game as if they were not the defending champion. I will blame the couch for the poor formation which is mostly the root cause of their problem. There are young players who have the ability to play better than the old ones whom he relied heavily upon together with his constant late substitution.

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.

Germany is capable of winning against Denmark even without the help of VAR or any match officials. It’s normal to see such things happening in football and one team may feel cheated. In this case, without capitalizing on the controversies Germany were the better side and they played to win which eventually favored them. Having managed to reach this stage of the tournament, there’s no reason to underestimate any team but Denmark’s strength is not fit.

Embolo's first chance yesterday which was saved by Donnarumma is proof of the weakness of the Italian defense. Vargas was also very free to make it difficult for Italian defenders to block him.

Switzerland looked very good, played with short passes, very confident play without unnecessary fuss. By the way, Donaruma saved Italy several more times, otherwise the score could have been devastating, this was not the kind of game we expected from the champions, but after the game with Spain it was clear that Italy is now not as good as it was before. Spalletti promises a lot, but in reality he could not achieve anything, the only victory against Albania was too weak an achievement. Do you think Slovakia will be able to cause problems for England today?

[shield132]

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

Don't be so sure. Everyone was betting on Portugal winning against Georgia but everyone lost. We did not just beat Portugal, we beat them 2:0. Don't be so confident that Spain will win against us. Sometimes, unexpected things happen. The match between Germany and Georgia will be really exciting 

but if Spain loses to Georgia then it will be the biggest surprise at this Euro. But I'm pretty sure at least Spain won't suffer the same fate as Italy. Because so far Spain has many advantages over Georgia. In fact, Spain was the only team that managed to collect 9 points in the group stage. And Spain is the only team that did not concede a single goal in the group stage. In fact, I now think that Spain is the strongest candidate to win the Euros this time.

It was already the biggest surprise, almost an impossible thing to see Georgia beating Portugal. I think that Georgia shouldn't be underestimated, despite the fact that our team is not the strongest, our performance against Portugal was super amazing and at the moment Mamardashvili is one of the best goalkeeper of Euro 2024. Our player George Mikautadze is also the top scorer of Euro 2024.

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.

Italy seemed to careless from the very beginning of the competition they couldn’t win matches convincingly and narrowly managed to win and qualify to the knockout stage. I knew they were not going far in the competition but I didn’t know they will lose in such a manner, Switzerland was in total control of the game and the result of the match was deserving. Switzerland players were very comfortable, confident and controlled the game the way they wanted and the defending champions were no match for them.

Germany on the other hand played like champions once again, they won, scored and controlled the game and progressed to the quarterfinals of the competition. I see them reaching the finals if they continue to play like this because all departments of the team seem balanced. We don’t know who they will be facing in their next games but they are a team you can bet on to win any opponent.
