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

[topbitcoin]

I'm accepting that England played terrible. However I think other favourites also played very badly in the tournament except Spain and Germany. Therefore I started to think that England still have a serious chance to win the tournament. Portugal would say goodbye to the tournament in last 16 today if it weren't for their goalkeeper Diogo Costa's amazing performance.

Opportunities are still there but things like that will not be too much of a concern if Southgate's game management in the England national team attack remains the same.

It should be realized that it is the scheme that has been England's problem until now so that even though they are faced with a game that is actually a little easier in terms of opponents but with a poor attack scheme that makes their condition not experience a significant difference.
The quarter-finals they will face Switzerland, which in terms of players have seen that England is still better but in terms of teamwork, Switzerland is actually still strong, especially with their achievements in qualifying from the group phase and round of 16 that cannot be underestimated because their opponents are strong.
Switzerland can hold a draw with Germany and beat Italy in the round of 16 that indicates that they are a dark horse that needs to be aware of and England's performance must be more than the matches they did before if they want to beat Switzerland in the quarter-finals later.

After Ronaldo missed a penalty many people shouted that Ronaldo is not a good player, although we all know that Ronaldo is getting old when it comes to penalty play Ronaldo is the best, no player can not miss a penalty, even the young players this day miss a penalty so I don’t see any wrong with Ronaldo missing a penalty, all thanks to the goalkeeper Diogo costa that save the penalty shootout against Slovenia and allow Portugal to qualify to the quarter-final of the tournament.

I believe some people's standard is just insane nowadays, other than the obvious hater and troll who will make fun of him or any player for any reason they can find. On the other hand, some comments suggest that Portugal plays a poor game because Ronaldo needs to be the center of their team, so he should be taken off and so on. I think that's just how it is for a popular player. I do agree that expecting a goal for every penalty taken is unrealistic. It sucks if it happens, but they shouldn't rely on that to score goals to begin with.

a certain player like Cristiano Ronaldo the Eternal who even started crying after he missed the penalty, what determination, we won't see someone like that again, I hope he wins the tournament

I believe there are tons of players who cry whenever their team fails to win, or if they fail to score a crucial goal/make a mistake. I believe it shows just how emotional they are in a match, not directly related to determination. Not really surprising if you compete at this level of tournament to feel emotional.

[knowngunman]

I have to compliment Slovenia for the technically perfect match, then where they don't succeed with technique they put their heart into it, that's how you play, tell Italy!, but I also have to compliment Portugal who stood out for their class and a certain player like Cristiano Ronaldo the Eternal who even started crying after he missed the penalty, what determination, we won't see someone like that again, I hope he wins the tournament

Sincerely speaking, Slovenia played to my unexpectation against Portugal team yesterday. Portugal team consists of highly experienced and famous players and they have shown seriousness from the beginning of this tournament. Despite I know that the game will be a tough match for both teams, I really don’t  expect Portugal to end up in penalty kick with Slovenia. I gave Portugal a direct win.

Yeah, that’s one thing I like about Ronaldo, his sportsmanship is extraordinary. Unfortunately, his age is threatening the love he has for the game. Regardless of whether he wins the tournament or not, he has already earned a name to be remembered for.

[Cryptmuster]

To be frank, I wasn't really impressed by the performance of France yesterday because I expected a better performance from them, though they won one nil, but I think that they were just lucky, because Belgium on the other hand is not doing well on their own, they have been practically poor throughout this tournament, so I was expecting France to win convincingly which was never the case here, so if they don't improve massively, I don't think they can cross the semi final stage of this competition, because they have been really poor, comparing to their standard.

And as for the game between Portugal vs Slovenia, it was actually a fascinating encounter and a very difficult match for the Portugal side, because the Slovenians were very compact defensively, and they proved a very hard nut to crack, though cristiano Ronaldo miss a penalty kick in extra time,  but I just feels like it just one of those days for Portugal that no matter what they do, the ball will just refused to go in, but a big congratulations to them for winning it on penalties.

Portugal played the group matches well and what happened yesterday was just bad luck, but Slovenia played this match very well, it is very difficult to resist such an opponent. As for France, they haven’t changed anything, they have played very poorly in attack from the very beginning of the tournament and they are lucky that Belgium, for some reason, also cannot show their best game. Of all the teams, I like Spain the most, they demonstrate their superiority in every game.

Portugal didn't play well, they almost lost but they were a little lucky because Slovenia didn't play well either.
Winning via penalty shootout had a slight element of luck, and overall it must be admitted that Portugal's performance was very disappointing and the player most highlighted was C.Ronaldo, he failed to execute a penalty at a crucial time, fortunately Portugal escaped, otherwise Ronaldo would have been the player. who is most to blame.

While France managed to win by a narrow score over Belgium, I think this is a reasonable result, France played very well even though their front line did not perform optimally and on the other hand Belgium is a very bad team in my opinion, this has been seen since the group stage.

[Despairo]

I can't believe Portugal was struggle to beat Slovenia, moreover Ronaldo failed to score the penalty kick. Diogo Costa is really a man of the match, he saved 3 penalty shots, that's crazy. This is why FC Porto is very known as one of the best defensive teams.

Today two match would be unpredictable, any team will have a chance to win, not to mention they might ends in draw.

Personally I think Netherlands will win, and Austria vs Turkey will ends in draw, but Austria will qualify to the quarter final.

[shield132]

Spain dominated the match and won big but Georgia actually had sweet memory for Euro 2024. Participate in Euro 2024 can be a most memorable experience for many Georgian players.

Of course, this is history for Georgia for reaching the 16th round of Euro 2024. This is new history for them. They probably never imagined that they could advance to this round, especially by beating Portugal at that time. However, this is the fact, even though in the end they lost to Spain, the history that they are in Euro 2024 round 16 is inevitable and cannot be taken lightly, especially for their team and also the country.

We scored the first goal against Spain, yes I know it was an auto goal but it was a 0:1. We shocked the world and Spanish fans, we made them nervous for the first time against such an unknown country as Georgia is. We shocked the world and we said our words. Our performance in first half was good but later, especially in the last 30 minutes, we got too tired and couldn't keep the performance while Spain was still rocking, so they managed and won against us.
We didn't have enough time to recover too, also one of their goal was off-side. By the way, it doesn't matter, we were really no match for Spain. Congrats to every Spanish people and their fans.

Austria has a great squad. If I had been asked in previous years, I would have thought the same way, but this year their players are really at a high level. Türkiye, on the other hand, made too many defensive mistakes. I am a Turk and I want Turkey to win, but to tell the truth, if such mistakes are made in the defensive zone again, Austria can make a historical difference to us. We played a terrible match against Portugal, and many of our players were carded in the last match we played against Czech Republic. Hakan Çalhanoğlu will not be able to play because he has a card suspension. This will reduce our midfield resistance. I hope we will be the winner, but my favorite is Austria.

Today we will see whether Austria will show the same form as in the group stage and whether it's a real candidate for the final, on the weaker side of the ladder. After the group stage, for me they are the 3rd team to win: Germany, Spain and Asutria.

The two matches of the round of 16 yesterday gave us an exciting match and even the two matches had to make it difficult for France and Portugal to win, France managed to qualify for the round of 8 after winning over Belgium after Vertonghen's own goal occurred, while Portugal was unexpectedly able to be made difficult by Slovenia who was not the favorite team in the match,  I didn't watch the match, but I was quite surprised to see the final result which did force Portugal to decide their fate with a penalty kick, I saw in the highlights of the match, Portugal was able to dominate the game and actually both teams had many chances to score, but we have to admit that Oblak and Costa played quite well.

In my opinion, not only Costa deserves praise for thwarting 3 penalties, but we should also give greater praise to Oblak for being able to force Portugal to continue the match with a penalty kick after Oblak thwarted Ronaldo penalty, if I look at the existing statistics, I think Oblak is more appropriate for us to say as the best goalkeeper in the match than Costa.

Both matches today will be difficult to predict, but to be honest compared to the match between the Netherlands and Romania, I personally believe that the match between Turkey and Austria will be more exciting because of the balanced strength of the two teams.

Portugal, England, France is almost the same. Their game is boring during this tournament. Only draw for 90 minutes plus 30 minutes with so many opportunities but must be determined through a penalty.
The failure of Ronaldo to execute the penalty in the extra round did not surprise me even though at that time millions of hopes were on him.

Personally I think Netherlands will win, and Austria vs Turkey will ends in draw, but Austria will qualify to the quarter final.

The Netherlands has a good chance of winning against Romania, but I am not sure of the Dutch performance under the care of Koeman.
Austria vs Türkiye, I think Turkey will qualify even though Austria's game is good enough during the group stage.

[Uruhara]

Finally there was a match that had to be decided by a penalty shootout, unfortunately for Slovenia, all three of their shooters failed to execute well, it may seem that Diogo Costa did brilliantly by saving all three kicks from the Slovenian players but I think otherwise that the Slovenian players did not execute well, it was very easy to guess by Diogo Costa where the direction of the ball from the Slovenian players.

And France making it to the quarterfinals was pure luck, the match should have gone to extra time and most likely a penalty shootout but Vertogen's mistake ended Belgium's hopes, and Mbappe still looks out of form he seems to be trying to keep his nose well 

Switzerland, Germany and Spain are the three teams that have made the match in the last 16 really theirs quite well and it doesn't look that difficult. But for England, France and Portugal it looks like they got through from the round of 16 to the quarter-finals the really hard way. And the Portugal match looks to be a match that actually looks very tense. I really appreciated Slovenia's defense which was really tight and flawless until the end. Portugal they kept trying to penetrate but yeah it was quite difficult with the quite disciplined defense shown by Slovenia. I think Portugal lacked the courage to make long breakthrough passes. They play too many short passes. And short passes will definitely be difficult to implement if the opponent also closes their defense line. So Portugal can only keep trying and failing.

A very rare moment from Ronaldo also occurred in this match. Where the penalty kick could be read well by the Slovenian goalkeeper. And another moment was that Pepe also made a mistake at the back which made the Slovenian player come face to face with Diego Costa. Luckily Diego Costa managed to stop it. Pepe made a mistake because he must have been tired because after all he is not young anymore and he played the full game there. In fact, I still want to praise Cristiano Ronaldo's stamina for being able to survive until the match ended. That's very difficult for a player who is almost 40 years old and ran the field in 120 minutes. So it is quite natural that he failed to take advantage of the penalty in that match. Because I'm sure his energy has almost been exhausted. So the shot wasn't as strong as usual.

[Silence Scream]

France-Belgium match was good, France advanced to the next round with the goal they scored in the last minutes.

Portugal-Slovenia match went to extra time, Portugal won a penalty in extra time, but Ronaldo could not score the penalty and the match went to penalties.
Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved 3 penalties and became the star of the night.

Diogo Costa had a night he will definitely not forget. He took Portugal and carried them to the next round. Ronaldo would have felt more guilty if Portugal had been eliminated after failing to score the penalty. Diogo somehow saved Ronaldo, and I think Ronaldo was the happiest that they made it to the tour. Although their chances of passing the round against France are very difficult, it is not impossible. If they play well and have a few players on their day, Portugal can also eliminate France.

Diego Costa really was a hero in that match. And not only when he was the savior in the penalty shootout by successfully parrying 3 Slovenian players' shots. but Diego Costa was also the hero when the Slovenian beat Pepe in extra time. Which makes the Slovenian player face to face with Diego Costa. but Diego Costa managed to stop it well. So in that match Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo were definitely the players who were most grateful to Diego Costa. Pepe almost made a mistake that could have given Slovenia a goal but Diego Costa was the hero there. And Ronaldo almost made Portugal win with a penalty shot but Ronaldo didn't succeed in turning his shot into a goal. And Diego Costa saved Portugal in the penalty shootout in the end. It was a match that was goalless in normal time and in extra time. and victory is only determined in a penalty shootout. But it was a very exciting and quite tense match. Slovenia also deserves appreciation for their very solid and disciplined defense.

In the quarter-finals Portugal will face France. And it will indeed be a more difficult match for both of them. And I'm not sure which one will be favored for that match.

Actually I never expected Ronaldo to miss the penalty because if they are given a breakdown of the players that are very good with penalty of course Ronaldo will be there because he is known to be very good with penalty but it was unfortunate that he had to miss the penalty, though the reason why people are talking about it too much is because of what Ronaldo represent in the world of soccer so people always have a very high expectation from him, though I wouldn't blame him on the penalty he missed because no matter how perfect someone would be in the game of football there is no way to guarantee 100% perfect all the time, however had it been that Portugal managed to win Ronaldo wouldn't have been very happy with himself.

Austria has a great squad. If I had been asked in previous years, I would have thought the same way, but this year their players are really at a high level.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu will not be able to play because he has a card suspension. This will reduce our midfield resistance. I hope we will be the winner, but my favorite is Austria.

We have to be realistic, Austria's strength is much stronger and that was seen in the group phase and from what Austria achieved in the group phase, they are now quite confident.
I don't mean to underestimate Turkey, but we can see Turkey's performance in the group phase and I think they are very inconsistent
So I think it is clear that Austria will have a greater percentage of winning the match and I will bet on Austria winning.

The Netherlands has a good chance of winning against Romania, but I am not sure of the Dutch performance under the care of Koeman.
Austria vs Türkiye, I think Turkey will qualify even though Austria's game is good enough during the group stage.

The Netherlands and Romania have equal strength, this will be a tough match and I think both teams have the same percentage to get through to the quarter-finals even though the betting market favors the Netherlands.
IN this match I chose to bet on goal over, in the group phase both teams were quite productive in scoring goals so this is also possible in this match.
For the Austria vs Turkey match, I have a different prediction from you, I am quite sure that Austria will qualify.

[Slow death]

To be honest, yesterday's matches were very tough, is not that the teams played well but they tried their best to win and secure a spot in another round of the tournament if I was told you that Portugal would suffer yesterday before winning Slovenia I would not believe because Portugal has good players and players that have big names in the squad, Portugal has players but those players are not that good to create a chance to score goals, look at the way Portugal players are moving with the ball, the wing’s players are not good to dribble and create a chance, and that is one of the main reasons why Portugal find it difficult to win the match.

In my case, if they told me that Portugal would suffer a lot to win in yesterday's game, I would believe it without hesitation, because in this Euro, Portugal is showing itself to be very weak, just look at the results of Portugal's games in this Euro, the first game was against Czechia which was not a strong national team, but Portugal had difficulty winning the game, they scored 2 goals and conceded 1 goal. The second game was against Turkey, they won easily, but in the third game it was against Georgia, where they lost in a game in which they failed to score a goal and conceded 2 goals. So looking at Portugal's performance in this euro, we see that they are having luck

Portugal 2 - 1 Czechia
Türkiye 0 - 3 Portugal
Georgia 2 - 0 Portugal
Portugal 0 - 0 Slovenia, Portugal won on penalties

So far Portugal has only played against very weak teams but they performed very poorly, if they win this Euro it will be thanks to luck

After Ronaldo missed a penalty many people shouted that Ronaldo is not a good player, although we all know that Ronaldo is getting old when it comes to penalty play Ronaldo is the best, no player can not miss a penalty, even the young players this day miss a penalty so I don’t see any wrong with Ronaldo missing a penalty, all thanks to the goalkeeper Diogo costa that save the penalty shootout against Slovenia and allow Portugal to qualify to the quarter-final of the tournament.

One of Portugal's biggest problems is thinking that the national team depends on Ronaldo when it is a fact that in games where Ronaldo is not playing the team performs well, it doesn't make sense to put these players on the bench:

1 - João Felix
2 - Diogo Jota
3 - Gonçalo Ramos
4 - Gonçalo Inácio

and put Ronaldo in the starting lineup. In my opinion Ronaldo should retire from the national team, but Portugal wants to create a hero

I have to compliment Slovenia for the technically perfect match, then where they don't succeed with technique they put their heart into it, that's how you play, tell Italy!, but I also have to compliment Portugal who stood out for their class and a certain player like Cristiano Ronaldo the Eternal who even started crying after he missed the penalty, what determination, we won't see someone like that again, I hope he wins the tournament

Ronaldo is already old, he should retire from the national team and give way to younger players, the guy has already achieved everything in Europe, I don't understand why someone who has already achieved everything in Europe and is very old is competing with newcomers or others players on the national team are the closest and there is not even a day for him to retire, which means he will play in the world cup, this could demotivate other younger players who are in Ronaldo's position, because these younger players will be sitting on the bench

[Solokan]

Portugal's match against Slovenia was really tense and according to my observations Slovenia played very well because it made it difficult for Portugal to score goals in normal time and of course last night I was really worried because my idol team, namely Portugal, would fail to make it to the quarter-finals but fortunately Portugal was able to ended the match beautifully even though it ended with a penalty and won it and now Portugal has advanced to the quarter-finals and of course Portugal must be really careful for the next match because of course Portugal's next opponent will be France which of course France is not an opponent that will be easy to beat. overthrow.

If you look at Portugal's performance, of course it can still be said to be good, but of course Roberto Martinez needs to do something to make Portugal's squad better in the upcoming match because of course if Portugal can't improve its performance then of course it will be difficult to beat France in the quarter-final match.

but I personally still support Portugal to win in the quarter-finals. What do you think about Portugal's prediction against France in the quarter-finals? but I think Portugal will have the potential to win against France and of course there will definitely be fierce competition.

[Uruhara]

Ronaldo is already old, he should retire from the national team and give way to younger players, the guy has already achieved everything in Europe, I don't understand why someone who has already achieved everything in Europe and is very old is competing with newcomers or others players on the national team are the closest and there is not even a day for him to retire, which means he will play in the world cup, this could demotivate other younger players who are in Ronaldo's position, because these younger players will be sitting on the bench

Well he should retire. but I'm happy to still see him at the Euros this time even though this is his last. But if you look at the way Cristiano Ronaldo plays then you will understand that he even plays more effectively than the young players there. I'm sure the Portuguese coach understands the situation of the Portuguese national team better. And I think he was called there because he deserved it. Not only is Cristiano Ronaldo old there but he still plays. but there is also Pepe who is even older than Cristiano Ronaldo. And if you see how Pepe plays at the back then you will understand that he is still a better defender than some of the young defenders that Portugal has. But yes, the Portuguese coach also forced Cristiano Ronaldo too hard to stay on the field even until extra time. And for players who are old, it will indeed be very ineffective to continue playing while tired. So time should also be given to the young players there.

It was sad that Ronaldo missed the penalty, but what do you think about Pepe's mistake in extra time? If Sesko had shot the ball a little better, it would have been a goal, but Costa saved the ball there too. In my opinion, Costa played one of his career matches last night. I saw players who gave everything for Portugal and played with heart. I hope they have good luck against France.
