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

[Rengga Jati]

Yes, France was very lucky this time, very lucky, because thanks to OG by Vertonghen,
-snip-

The OG comes at a time when Belgium nearly can not do anything to find a goal to pull the match back. The shot of Kolo Muani will be saved if it does not hit the knee of Vertonghen in that situation. It's like destiny for Belgium in Euro 2024 but in general they did not play well in this Euro. Losing this way, with an OG is painful but it's hard for Belgium to go far with players they have and with performances they shown this summer.

It's exactly painful, really painful.
Yeah, it was definitely an accident and no one expected that. However, it was still a mental pressure for him. Really, they were very unlucky at that time.

Yes, France was very lucky this time, very lucky, because thanks to OG by Vertonghen,

It was a very painful loss that will be uneasy to ensure. Grasping that the only goal came through an own goal is the most painful part of the story. France has won five of their games in major competitions against Belgium but this one was very close. I had expected to see an entertaining and exciting game considering the quality of players both teams can boast of but the game fell short of my expectations.

At least, we really saw a tense and tight match. In fact, it was quite difficult for each of them to break through the opponent's defense at that time. And this is what makes us so excited when we see it, it makes us curious about who will be able to score first. Because at that time, even though France had a higher chance to attack, they could still be pushed over and even their shots on target were the same, but two were quite impressive. If there wasn't this OG, it's possible that they would really take a very challenging penalty shootout too.

[Solokan]

One of the attitudes that we need to emulate from Cristiano Ronaldo is never giving up and as we saw last night how he failed to take a penalty kick in the extra time but he responded by taking the first kick during the penalty shootout and finally managed to score a goal. Jan Oblak's performance for 120 minutes was truly extraordinary, but he also failed during the penalty shootout when he failed to anticipate three shots from the Portuguese player.

Apart from that, the real hero fell to Diogo Costa where there was a blunder from Pepe which resulted in him losing the ball so that it could be snatched by Sesko, but unfortunately Sesko failed to score because it was blocked by Diogo Costa's foot. Not only that, during the penalty shootout, Diogo Costa managed to thwart 3 consecutive penalty kicks from Slovenian players and in the end Slovenia had to be eliminated after losing on penalties against Portugal with a score of 0-3. A match full of drama and the next big match will pit Portugal against France and this is a big match that cannot be missed.

Cristiano Ronaldo is great and never gives up, but his failure to take a penalty kick at that time really disappointed the audience, especially Portuguese fans. and I actually felt sad when I saw Ronaldo because he failed to execute the penalty kick and it was clear on his face that he was very sad because he failed to execute the penalty kick.

But yes, Cristiano Ronaldo proved capable of avenging his failure while playing in extra time by scoring a goal in the penalty shootout. But unfortunately Oblak couldn't play well in the penalty shootout, even though he performed well when he played time normally and. It's a shame that Slovenia couldn't take advantage of this golden opportunity. Of course, if Slovenia wins, they will please the Slovenian people and advance to the quarterfinals. but of course I think Slovenia is very great because they have fought as hard as they can.

Yes, I also admire Diogo Costa because he is very skilled at defending Portugal and indeed he deserves to be called a hero for Portugal because of course the saves he makes are very good. Of course we also saw that the Portuguese players did not give up and their mentality was better than Slovenia. Yes, for the next match, of course it would be a shame if you didn't watch France against Portugal and of course the next match will definitely be even more exciting.

[Jossque]

Turkey managed to get an incredible win. With the legendary reflex of our goalkeeper Mert Günok in the last minute, we did not give this chance to Austria, who had a chance to take the match to overtime in the last seconds. Even though we did not play very well from the beginning, we managed to win the match. With 2 goals from defender Merih, we managed to win this match and qualify for the quarterfinals. The next opponent will be the Netherlands.

[asriloni]

It was an unforgettable night for us.    I thought we would have huge difficulties against Austria after examining their game until this match. However we started really strong by an early goal. After that we did our best defending in the tournament so far in the 1st half. We preferred to focus on maintaining the score advantage later. Austria were really dangerous but our goalkeeper did an amazing job. Now Netherlands is our opponent in the quarter finals. I hope this fairytale doesn't end in this round. 

Well, Turkiye set up very well against ragnick's strategy. And when you get that first-minute lead, and it was a game over when it comes to the knockout round. Austria's strategy thrives on midfield turnovers. Turkey made sure that, if they lose the ball, there are at least 4 or 5 at the back to prevent it.
Austria played well today; However, their poor finishing cost them a place in the quarterfinal. But unlike other matches, Turkiye and Austria made football exciting to watch.

And big kudos to the turkiye team, with that excellent save by their goalkeeper at the end, and they deserved it. And last, turkiye deserved after all of their efforts in this game

[MArsland]

A glorious night for all of Turkey; not just the players as they qualified for the next round. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw them defeat a very stubborn Austria and even more so that they were able to do this with no much tactics to speak of, just defend and press on the counter when they have the chance, unlike Austria who were more rounded.
 Football is really an unpredictable sport that's why it's not always safe to bet on the favorites of any match as things can turn around.
Turkey before the tournament began were not able to convince fans with their performance as they were shaky and no one would have tipped them to even make it to this stage.
I feel that it's the teams you least expect to prove something that will shock spectators in this tournament. Judging by the big names that qualified to the next stage, I doubt Turkey will be able to celebrate their victory for long so they just have to celebrate now as long as they can.

Turkey is very surprising, isn't it? I was successful with betting on Türkiye. I don't know why, but with their promising performance, they certainly deserve to qualify for the top 8. Austria played an outstanding game dominating the field but Turkey defense was difficult to penetrate. Arda Guler once again became his opponent's nightmare, Arda movements made it difficult for the Austrian defender. The 2 goals scored by Demiral were extraordinary, the first minutes were executed perfectly. Another second goal from Arda Guler corner was successfully completed with a header.

Austria in the group phase managed to beat the Netherlands and in terms of quality, Austria was hungry to admit that they lost to Turkey, indicating that Türkiye would be a threat to the Netherlands in the future. I think it is not impossible that the Netherlands needs to be wary of Türkiye ambitions, because their qualifying for the top 8 is a new historical record.

[Out of mind]

With a 0-3 win against Romania, the homeland team confirmed the quarter-final match. On the other hand, Turkey won 1-2 against Austria and qualified for the quarter-finals. The teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals from the round of 16 are really strong and have worked hard to get this far, but the next matches will be more interesting for each team.

Spain Vs Germany

Portugal Vs France

England Vs Switzerland

Netherland Vs Turkey

Spain Vs Germany

Portugal Vs France

England Vs Switzerland

Netherland Vs Turkey

Looking the drawing format for quarter final until the final round, England national team have easily opponent teams for qualifying until final round after facing Switzerland in the quarter final will face the winner between Turkey or Netherland in the semifinal round. Difference with Portugal or Germany national teams have difficult opponent team since quarter final round until the semifinal.

In my opinion, Germany national team have bigger opportunity as candidate team will reach the final round and England get the same potential depend on their consistent performance, but last night Netherlands have impressive performance by winning over 3-0 against Romani and looks not difficult for facing Turkey on quarter final round get chance lead until semifinal or final round of Euro 2024.

My prediction the final match of Euro 2024
Germany vs Netherlands

[OcTradism]

With a 0-3 win against Romania, the homeland team confirmed the quarter-final match. On the other hand, Turkey won 1-2 against Austria and qualified for the quarter-finals. The teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals from the round of 16 are really strong and have worked hard to get this far, but the next matches will be more interesting for each team.

Spain Vs Germany

Portugal Vs France

England Vs Switzerland

Netherland Vs Turkey

Quarter final matches are set and we will have two biggest matches between Spain vs Germany, Portugal vs France. They are opponents of each other in Euro 2008 and Euro 2016 final matches. Two other matches are between two big teams (England and Netherlands) and two underdogs (Switzerland and Turkey).

There is chance for an underdog either Switzerland or Turkey to appear in Euro 2024 final match has become clearer. It's 20 years since Euro 2004 when Greece suddenly won over many big teams in Europe and lifted the European continent trophy. Will Switzerland or Turkey repeat it this summer, exactly 20 years later since a shocked success of Greece?

I would like to see a match between Spain and Portugal, Iberia match in the semi final match.

[Moreno233]

Austria 0-1 Turkiye
Turkiye is performing quite well against Austria now. Turkiye is very good. Turkiye managed to score in the first minute of the match. In the first minute, Merih Demiral sent the ball to Austria's goal post taking advantage of the carelessness of Austria's defenders. After Turkiye took the lead, they kept their defense tight. However, we did not see any strong attack from the Austrian players in the first half.

Final score of the match is 1-2 in favor of Turkiye. They deserve the win because they played so well even beyond the expectations of people. Merih Demiral did the damage to Austria, taking advantage of the defensive mistakes of Austrian players. Judging by the group stage performances, one would have expected Austria to win the match but it is obvious the Turks came prepared and knew what would be their fate if they did not fight with their full strength.

Neither Austria nor Turkey are very strong.

I somehow think otherwise because the match was interesting and has all the attributes of a great match. Both teams showed great skills that made the match entertaining and with their performance, both can match any of the countries in the competition.

[Strongkored]

Austria beat the Netherlands to advance to 1/8 and the Netherlands were lucky to be able to continue as one of the teams with the third-best ranking so they continued to advance to 1/8, the Netherlands learned from their mistakes in the third group match and succeeded in performing better to reach the quarterfinals, but Austria have to stop their steps, that's the cycle, sometimes you fail in the previous step but the evaluation gives you success furthermore.

[Oluwa-btc]

And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey

ps, why do English portals spell Turkey as "Türkiye"?? What kind of nonsense is that?

I would love to see the three lions leaving at the end of the day against Switzerland. The thing is that this Competition gets them stringer stage after stage. You could see that Gareth Southgate is not a name to mention around a big club otherwise he'll get that club fumbling and rolling in the mud! He remains a dump-coach. How can he not utilize the loads of players he has.

Spain - Germany is one game I cannot make a final judgement. They're the two best clubs so far in this Competition and picking a side is difficult but still I'll be siding with Germany.

Portugal I'll agree for the round to beat France because they have struggled this time around because they lacked creativity. You could see how much they miss Paul Pogba, yes? Lol  Portugal has the midfielder's to dominate them, but they should make sure they convert whatever chances that comes them way.

No, Nada! I believe in these kind of Competitions, you can joke with countries who has experience. Holland is not the side to rule out completely. They are my favorite in the fixture between them and Turkey.
Do you know years back Holland head coach Ronald Koeman, was amongst the list of players who won the Euros Competition the last Germany hosted a competition like this years back.

Most importantly, I want to see a finals between, Germany and Netherlands in the finals finally. Let's go!!

[reagansimms]

The Turkey-Austria match ended 2-1 and we won. I think most people were not expecting this result but we won.
Melih Demiral was the star of the night, he scored 2 goals and won the match for us.
Mert Günok made a very good save at the last minute, if he had scored we would have probably lost the match in extra time because our guys were very tired.
Wait for us Netherlands, you are next. I hope we will beat Netherlands in the quarter finals.

Austria who played well in the group stage, failed to provide a surprise in the round of 16 after losing 1-2 to Turkey. Defender Merih Demiral became the star of the field in this match by scoring 2 goals while taking Turkey to the quarter-finals. It was very interesting to watch this match because Austria continued to try to lock Turkey in their defensive area in the second half. They threatened the Turkey goal several times but had difficulty dismantling the Turkey defense which played very disciplined. Turkey victory over Austria means that the round of 16 has ended, Turkey will face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. In a few days the next round will begin which will present even more exciting and interesting matches, one of them is the Germany vs Spain game.

[Barikui1]

And here we are, only 8 teams left.
My picks for the winners of the quarter-finals:
Spain
Portugal
England
Turkey

Say goodbye to Turkey and hello to Türkiye. It's been like this for at least two years, I guess you haven't heard of it. Of course, it is still a habit, even our citizens continue to say Turkey, but actually it is just Türkiye.

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/06/28/turkey-is-now-turkiye-what-other-countries-have-changed-their-name

If I had to talk about the match in the last 16 rounds. It was a match that I was excited about every second of it. I haven't seen our national team play so focused and clear lately. We knew that Austria was not an easy team, they came first despite which teams were in the group they were leading, and it was not a coincidence that it was because they played well.

The player of the match was Merih. Even though he was a defender, he scored two goals and was selected as the player of the match. He had a very good match. It was good to see Arda Güler starting the match in the first 11. He played well in the future, played a well-pressured game, in fact the whole team was like that.

I was really impressed by the performance of the Turkish national team yesterday, just as you rightfully pointed out, they were very much focussed, and the early goal they got put them into an advantageous position, which was a major setback for Austria, and that alone made Austria start chasing the game, which is never a good thing against a well organized team like turkey last night, so a big congratulations to turkey, for qualifying to the quarter finals of this competition.

Talking about the quarter finals fixtures, all the games are definitely going to be a fascinating encounter, because if you look at the team involved, they are top class teams, so it's definitely going to be exciting, but the game that I really find interest in, is Germany vs Spain, that particular game is definitely going to be a cracker and as a neutral fan, I would be going to watch that game hoping that I can catch the best possible fun in that encounter.

Turkey defeated Austria yesterday and for me, I’m not surprised with the result of the game because a game is an unpredictable event we don’t know what will happen in the game, many people believe that Austria is going to defeat Turkey in the match but for me, I was expecting turkey to win the match, If we look Austria match against Netherland Austria came out in the game with full confidence and Netherland is not serious in the game and with some mistakes that they are having in the game, Austria came out against Turkey thinking that they are going to win the match but they are shocked when Turkey use the opportunity they have in first minutes to score the first goal.

Both goals were scored against Austria is a corner kick by Arda Guler, those corner kicks are very good and he played it well to create a chance for his teammates to score goals, Arda Guler is very important in Turkey's squad, not only that he is talented but he helps the team to create chances of scoring goals and if you look at his performance yesterday you will notice the way he played and pass the ball to the wing players he is creating a chance for them to score, if Turkey knows how to play very they will have scored more goals against Austria, Turkey really tried because they played and defend well and thanks to their goalkeeper that made a lot of saves in the game.

[asriloni]

The game between Belgium and France is being held in tension. Neither team managed to score before half-time, which is why the match is still tied. However, after half-time, both teams will attack more strongly to qualify for the quarter-finals. And in today's match, France is in possession of the ball most of the time, but if Belgium tries a little better, then there will definitely be equal tension. The team that wins today's match will go to the quarter-finals, and the losers will be eliminated from the Euro Cup. That's why today's match is very serious, and every team should play hard and play hard to win. And I think that today's match France will probably attack more strongly against Belgium and win, and there is a possibility that France will win and go to the quarter-finals.

France football team qualified for Quarter final . France  football team played brilliant in this match and won the match easily by1-0 . France team did 1 goal and Belgium team could not do any single goal but both teams played well and tried their best to win this match. France team attacked very well and whole team was in attacking position and no player played individually and all players played like team and they won the match due to team effort.Vertonghen did one and only goal of that match and that goal decided that France team will win this match. The stat of France team is wonderful than Belgium team because they gave 609 passes and that was a good score and the passes of Belgium team was only 496.

It was a dreadful game by france, one goal from OG is not something special for me. France was showing a boring against belgium, and these clubs were clueless on how to scored through open play. Belgium was intensively counterattacking france, but the ball always bounced back.

France's performance in Euro 2024 is horrible. They qualified for the QF, but had terrible stats. They had no open play goal since the group stage. That's insane to see how france managed to qualify for QF with 3 goals from 4 games. Two were OG and one a PK. France has to be the worst offense team to make it to quarters, and not even a single goal came from openplay.

Turkey having surprising performance in this game as things were going before match there were mind-set we will have exit for them but against all odds they have done and now having spot into next round which is surely amazing stuff for them and their fans as well which are overjoyed with this big win against Austria very early goal bring down Austrian confidence, and then we have no fight back from them second goal give clear advantage to Turkey which were having good control of the game.

Now they are going to face spirited Netherlands which are having not good start of their campaign but now after beating Romania their confidence level is high, and they can give improved performance in next match as well with chances are having we will have tense match between these two teams with the Netherlands is clearly going to be hot favourite for the game as they are superior team.

in reality I expected it more than a surprise it was a revelation with a coach like that you have to put in a good performance, yes let's say that the Turkish fans complain about the fact that Montella plays a very defensive game, a lock on the goal Italian but in reality I think it is a tactic used and studied precisely against that team and let's also say that it has borne fruit so congratulations to Montella and this excellent Turkey who reached the quarterfinals will face a strong team but has all the cards in store rule to win

Austria's Turkiye's performance was very composed. Turkiye players performed well in the whole match. Turkiye made very few attacks. However, Turkiye players managed to score two goals. I would say Turkiye won this match because of their strong defense. Austria's players made a total of 21 shots. But the team managed to score only one goal.

The Turkiye team is going to face the strong Netherlands in the next match. I have checked the match statistics between these two teams. The Netherlands vs Turkey matches were very competitive. Netherlands won last match over Turkiye by 6-1 margin. However, in the previous match, Netherlands lost by 4-2. In the last 5 matches both the teams have won two matches each. So it is expected that the next match will be very exciting.

I won't give the credit to only the goalkeeper. I would say everyone in the team had a wonderful performances. Both side play very well but i it is the ide that used their opportunities very well that took the lead and won the game. Austria had 21 shots but most of them were not on target so how would that bring about goals in the match.

A club might have just three shots on target and score the three. I dont know if i would say it is luck that falls on their side. Because Turkey had two corners. And they scored the corners without stress. Doesn't mean that Austria did not have corners from the game. Another thing i noticed is that Austria's defenders were too weak to hold Turkey's players. The entire team has more experienced attackers than defenders. It makes their goalpost vulnerable for penetration.

Turkiye has a good match against Austria and expand it to Euro 2024, they have a best ever Euro tournament many years since their success in World Cup 2002 in South Korea and Japan. Before Euro 2024, there is doubt on Turkiye because they don't have many star players like years ago but we need to look back in 2002 so realize that many players of Turkiye were not famous before that World Cup. Success in that summer in Asia helped many Turkish players to be known more and had chance to play for bigger clubs. This Euro can bring such great opportunities for some Turkish players.

The Turkiye team is going to face the strong Netherlands in the next match. I have checked the match statistics between these two teams. The Netherlands vs Turkey matches were very competitive.

Netherlands had a good Euro too and they are going far like World Cup 2022. Gakpo after some not too successful in Liverpool, finds himself in Euro 2024 just like how he performed well and came to light in World Cup 2016 with his national team.

Netherlands won last match over Turkiye by 6-1 margin. However, in the previous match, Netherlands lost by 4-2. In the last 5 matches both the teams have won two matches each. So it is expected that the next match will be very exciting.

In a direct match in a big tournament like Euro, past record of head to head matches, is only minor in importance. Players will play like they will not have a similar chance in future. This will give Turkiye strength to play against Netherlands and go to semi final match.
