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

[dezoel]

This between Slovenia and Portugal, Slovenia were actually up to something else that I did not understand, it is not that they played so exceptional. But they were persistent. Penalty miss by Ronaldo and Pepe's mistake would have sent Portugal home but Diago Costa said no and saved the whole country.

I have not seen a match that the goalkeeper was so determine to win the game for their nation as the match between Portugal and Slovenia. Without Diago Costa, Portugal campaign would had ended on a very sad note but still I am not convinced with Portugal campaign this competition. Ronaldo has not scored since the tournament started and that is unlike him, Portugal are not very convincing and I am beginning to feel that their time is the competition is about to end. They got lucky in the last knockout game but maybe next time they would not be that lucky. Ronaldo missing tha extra time penalty that would had won them the game, showed me that they might not be the team to win this competition unless their fate turns around.

Portugal is surely having good luck as they are having spot into last eight with as they are performing things are clearly not favourable for them to have this spot they need to have few changes otherwise they can face more consequences now it's time for them to bring young blood which can give them better performance and results as well Ronaldo is almost having his time so having him for few minutes is good because now he can't contribute as he has done in past with his age factor.

Now they are having the toughest challenge against France, hopefully things will be on better level even we are having no good performance from the France in this event but still they are doing good and having good advantage against the Portugal for the going past for the sport of semifinal.

Of course, Turkey's victory is being envied elsewhere. The German minister applied for an investigation after Merih Demiral's sign. I don't think UEFA will give a penalty, I think it shows the respect of Germany that the German minister, who was silent about a lot of actions before this action, is silent about this action. Turkey's win seems to have upset not only the Austrians.

Merih Demiral's goal celebration certainly has no ill intention. This is the Gray Wolf sign, the symbol of us Turks. It is not an act that resembles racism, but an act made by those who love their country. Moreover, considering that some malicious symbols have been used in Germany in the past, the German minister's statements are unfortunate because this movement is not on any banned list in Germany. Merih scored 2 goals and celebrated in his own special way.

That's right, it's too much to worry about.
Demiral scored a goal for his country in a very important match so it is natural that he would be emotional and celebrate what he did and regarding the symbolism of Demiral's goal celebration there has never been a problem before.
So I think this is a normal and natural action.

Somehow the Dutch made this match seem like a fairly easy match for them. I didn't even suspect that Romania would suffer a crushing defeat in that match. Even though Romania is also a fairly strong team which even managed to top group E in the group stage. But in front of the Dutch national team, apparently I didn't see any big surprises from Romania. the second half was also a nightmare for Romania. And with this result I think my expectations for the Netherlands are quite high. So I also predict that the Netherlands will be able to advance further and beat Turkey in the quarter-finals and advance to the semi-finals.

The Netherlands managed to put out their best performance in this match, this is the real Netherlands, they played quite well organized in all areas but their weakness was that they couldn't be consistent, which has been the case all along.
Romania tried to do their best but they lost in terms of quality. I watched this match and saw how difficult it was for Romania to develop their performance, and that was because the Netherlands played quite well.

The Netherlands will face Turkey in the quarter-finals, if they manage to maintain their good performance, maybe they will be able to win later, but I don't think there is any need to have high expectations for the Netherlands, I don't think they can be consistent.

[Arenga pinnata]

Well if it comes to betting then my choice may also change. 
I'm quite bored with all the predictions I've made so far. Well I do some data or information gathering before making predictions. And after I determined my prediction or choice, it turned out that I failed and failed. And strangely enough, after I just chose based on my gut feeling, it turned out that I was right and I won the bet. You definitely understand how it feels when we have made a prediction that looks very convincing but in the end the result turns out to be a failure. That's quite annoying.
So I will try to choose based on gut feeling or intuition this time. Unless my mood changes again and improves, maybe I will do some analysis again before betting. 

Friend, it seems like you are going through a difficult time in this regard. And I understand your situation a little. But I feel that the teams you chose as favorites in the quarter-finals are not so bad. Because I also have almost the same choices except Germany and Switzerland.

I chose Spain, Portugal, England and the Netherlands. I still feel that Spain is a very strong team that will be very difficult to stop even for Germany. Take a look at the records Spain has set since the group stage. They have only conceded one goal so far and that was in the round of 16. And that 1 goal was not actually a goal that really showed Spain's weakness. But it seems like you yourself also understand that Spain does have advantages over other teams.

[emrecemsan]

I got so emotional after the win we got last night.    It wasn't an easy task for us to beat Austria. We were highly the underdog but the way we played was beyond my expectations.

Because you know, so far I can't say we have been doing well with defending. But it was like we were specially prepared for this one. It is nice to see that we are taking things more serious after the group stage. My Euro 2008 memories came to life.    Reaching the semi finals and making even difficulties for Germany...

Netherlands is a quite challenging opponent. They have more dangerous attackers than Austria. But they also have vulnerabilities as for defending even though they have van Dijk. I hope we manage to find a way to be competitive.

[Jossque]

Portugal will play against France and it is difficult to predict who will win.Both teams have stars and both teams have had good results in this tournament.Portugal has struggled to score goals in the last 2 matches, but before that it had scored 5 goals.France has had good results offensively and defensively.It has neither conceded nor conceded too many goals.There is a high chance that the match will have a lot of goals, but there is also a high chance that it will end in a goalless draw.We can say that it is a match that could go to extra time.

[rendravolt]

The left chart looks like hell and of the four teams starting from Spain, Germany, France and Portugal, only one can advance to the final round. Meanwhile, from the right chart, it is possible that Turkey, the Netherlands, Switzerland and England will probably belong to one of the two Dutch or English teams that will advance to the final round.

But actually I don't want to underestimate Turkey and Switzerland, however they managed to reach the quarter-finals and if they are very strong and manage to maintain their current performance then they should at least advance to the semifinals first.

However, even though England is the favorite team so far according to trusted sources, if we look at the overall game, they have not improved at all and I think only luck has saved them. Meanwhile for the Netherlands, maybe in last night's match they managed to defeat a dark horse team like Romania, but I don't feel satisfied enough with their game.

Austria are not a big team in Europe and this Euro is a massive success for their national team. Turkey in contrast, even are not big team in Europe, can be considered as at a higher level than Austria with their performances in the last 20 years. Since World Cup 2002 in Korea and Japan, Turkey took a third position in that World Cup, from that their national team set up a stronger position in Europe. Recent years, they had difficulties but with this player generation, it looks like they will have some successful years in future.

Netherlands is a quite challenging opponent. They have more dangerous attackers than Austria. But they also have vulnerabilities as for defending even though they have van Dijk. I hope we manage to find a way to be competitive.

Netherlands are a strong team and have better tradition than Turkey but they also struggle recent years. This Euro is a continuation of their success in World Cup 2022 in Qatar. A direct match between Turkey and Netherlands is interesting as they both want to win and have a semi final match in Euro. With Netherlands, it's too far since Euro 2000 in their homeland, and with Turkey, I can not remember when they played a semi final match in Euro in the past.

[Jatiluhung]

Portugal will play against France and it is difficult to predict who will win.Both teams have stars and both teams have had good results in this tournament.Portugal has struggled to score goals in the last 2 matches, but before that it had scored 5 goals.France has had good results offensively and defensively.It has neither conceded nor conceded too many goals.There is a high chance that the match will have a lot of goals, but there is also a high chance that it will end in a goalless draw.We can say that it is a match that could go to extra time.

It is very likely that the Portugal vs France match could continue into extra time if both teams continue to play carefully and do not display an aggressive match. But I think Portugal and France will both display quite aggressive matches. So some goals might happen in normal time. But to be honest, it is quite difficult to determine which team should be the favorite in this match.

But the match that is more difficult to predict is the Spain vs Germany match. In my opinion, this match will feel like a final match. Because the two favorites at the Euros this time will face each other early in the quarter-finals. These two teams have the same record of goal productivity. And I really don't want to see these two teams face off so soon. Maybe I would prefer if Germany and Spain faced off in the semi-finals. but now they have to meet in the quarter-finals.

[Adiljutt156]

England's match against Slovakia was very impressive. In the first half, Slovakia managed to beat the match by scoring 1 goal through a shot from Ivan Schranz, strangely, even though England managed to take the lead in possession, however they failed to score a goal in the first half, i think England's defense was weak, because we can see how Slovakia repeatedly entered England's defense line easily, and posed quite a dangerous threat to England.

However, in the second half, England managed to equalize the score because of a very spectacular shoot from Jude Bellingham. Then, in extra time, Herry Kane managed to score a goal and bring England victory against Slovakia, truly dramatic in this match. Bravo England, for successfully qualifying for the Quarter Finals.

At last England Football team won the match easily by 2-1 score. England team is strong team but wanted more goals from England team but England team could not do more than two goals.  I think quarter final matches will be more interesting because team with equal calipors will play and that team will will which will play best . Schranz did first goal of the match in the minutes of 25 but after that Slovakia team could not defend. In game , defend the football is necessary to win the match and Slovakia team did not play defensive after doing 1 goal.  The shots of England team were more and that were 16 and Slovakia team shots were 13  , he possession percentage  of England team was 63 percent and Slovakia possession percentage was 37 percent.

[G_Besar]

The Netherlands managed to put out their best performance in this match, this is the real Netherlands, they played quite well organized in all areas but their weakness was that they couldn't be consistent, which has been the case all along.
Romania tried to do their best but they lost in terms of quality. I watched this match and saw how difficult it was for Romania to develop their performance, and that was because the Netherlands played quite well.

The Netherlands deserved to win with their performance like that in the match against Romania, but the Netherlands must also be able to continue to improve in the quarter-finals because their opponent in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals this time is Turkey, who in general are not too bad at Euro 2024 this time. And I think the match for the Dutch national team in the quarter-finals is also a match that will be quite interesting to watch because these two national teams both have players who are quite capable at the moment.

[JeffBrad12]

Turkiye is really lucky, Austria should have able to beat them, but Austria was just unlucky enough. If the shots by Christoph Baumgartner and Stefan Posch weren't missed, Austria could scored 4 goals.

It was not luck, but it's pure skill from turkiye. The early goal from Turkiye's corner kick in the first half rattled Austria. It puts them under very big pressure since the first minute of the game. In the second half, Austria increased their tempo on offense. Then, Turkey struck them again, and it's successfully reduced austria's pressure. Austria's tempo was slowing down, and turkiye dealt it easily. Big Kudos too all of players in turkiye national team.

Spain vs Germany
Portugal vs France
Netherlands vs Turkiye
England vs Switzerland

Who do you guys think will win?

Here are the teams that I predict will win the QF.

Spain
Portugal
Netherland
England

[snipie]

Here are the teams that I predict will win the QF.

Spain
Portugal
Netherland
England

Apart from Netherlands, I am not sure about the other teams.
Spain is a little bit better than Germany but it is the host team so for me is is like 55% victory for Spain and 45% for Germany.
England in the other hand is fluctuating badly and if Switzerland played as they did against Italy then I will not be surprised to see them qualifying.
Portugal to win against France? I disagree with that unless the game go through penalties.

[Jatiluhung]

And I think the match for the Dutch national team in the quarter-finals is also a match that will be quite interesting to watch because these two national teams both have players who are quite capable at the moment.

In this match, the Netherlands really showed a quality of play that exceeded everyone's expectations of them. And what is surprising is that Romania was not even able to reply to a single goal in that match. And the Netherlands actually managed to score 3 goals in that match. But yeah, in the quarter-final match, maybe the Netherlands will no longer be able to cause the same surprise as they did against Romania. Because Türkiye will definitely be an opponent that can make the Netherlands quite overwhelmed. Not because of the attack but Turkey has a fairly solid defense and Turkey's fast counter attacks can sometimes trouble their opponents. But in terms of overall quality, the Netherlands will still be superior. And I think the Netherlands will be the favorites in the quarter-finals. But we also shouldn't be surprised if the Netherlands fails. Because well the Dutch also have problems with their consistency. So we can't guess when they will play optimally or not.

[giammangiato]

...
The match was fierce - Türkiye surprised with their fastest goal in the first minute. The attack intensity of both teams tends to be the same - but if I could choose, then Turkey really deserves to find the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. Türkiye is an optimistic team - Austria is not the weakest either.

Yes, I was surprised too, I was watching the game while I was having dinner, I wasn't really paying attention, I was slightly distracted and I immediately scored a goal.
I said but what happens, like this for no reason and without warning! ahaha
I enjoyed the match, as the team I support now is Spain: I enjoyed it in any case.

[Distraction]

Of course, Turkey's victory is being envied elsewhere. The German minister applied for an investigation after Merih Demiral's sign. I don't think UEFA will give a penalty, I think it shows the respect of Germany that the German minister, who was silent about a lot of actions before this action, is silent about this action. Turkey's win seems to have upset not only the Austrians.

I have also heard about it and wanted to write something about it here. UEFA has officially started an investigation about Merih's sign.

https://x.com/ESPNFC/status/1808452668878172442

They say like it is associated with an ultra-nationalist group which is nonsense. It has nothing to do with that. Wolf has been the symbol of Turks for ages. What are they aiming to do by spreading such things?  

Then UEFA should investigate about the eagle located in Germany flag too considering this ill logic. It also doesn't make any sense right?



Reichsadler, which is called Imperial Eagle also, was used in German history. It has also been a symbol for Germans just as wolf has been for us. I don't think UEFA will make an unfair decision at the end though.

[Frankolala]

There are two big matches 6th July in the quarter-finals of the Euro.
In one match, Spain's opponent is Germany and in another match, France's opponent is Portugal. These four teams are definitely the strongest of all the teams in the Euro competition.

Portugal will certainly want a tough competition against France, having booked their place in the quarter-finals with a win in tiebreaker in the last match. Germany has been doing very well in this tournament since the beginning of the tournament, so they will definitely want to finish with a win against Spain.

Those who are football lovers will definitely not want to miss this match as these two matches are the two most interesting matches of this tournament.

Of course that day two out of these clubs will qualify to the semifinals and who will these clubs be. Germany vs Spain is unpredictable on my side because both clubs are on their best form and have quality players who are dangerous. Germany will have a home advantage over Spain but Spain is a hard nut to crack.

Portugal will not be able to survive in the quarter finals because France might not accept defeat and will do everything possible to stay in the competition. France have not had a super win because most of their goals that they used in qualifying was an own goal. It will be a difficult match for both of them Ronaldo vs Mbappe.

Netherlands is a quite challenging opponent. They have more dangerous attackers than Austria. But they also have vulnerabilities as for defending even though they have van Dijk. I hope we manage to find a way to be competitive.

Türkiye has really provided results that are very satisfying to all their supporters. The first goal they scored shortly after the match started was the one that surprised everyone the most. Well Austria played well but they couldn't beat Türkiye in the end. and Türkiye was the winner in the end. When Türkiye faced Portugal, we saw that Portugal had quite difficulty facing Türkiye. And now I understand that Turkey is indeed strong, even though they look like they defend more, but this strategy actually makes them win quite well. Of course, there will be a tougher challenge ahead, namely against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. And maybe we will be curious whether Turkey will stick with the same strategy or they will prepare a new strategy to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. I'll be really looking forward to this one. I probably wouldn't bet on Türkiye because I see the Netherlands looking more likely to win. but I don't want to underestimate Türkiye of course.

Turkey and Switzerland remind me about Morocco in Quatar World Cup 2022 and hopefully either Switzerland or Turkey will go far and play a semi final match. Hence one of them will surely take a third position in Euro 2024, as there is no third-place play-off match in Euro. It's good recognition for impressive performances of an underdog and both Switzerland and Turkey have not too small chance to beat England and Netherlands in quarter final matches.

Of course, there will be a tougher challenge ahead, namely against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. And maybe we will be curious whether Turkey will stick with the same strategy or they will prepare a new strategy to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. I'll be really looking forward to this one. I probably wouldn't bet on Türkiye because I see the Netherlands looking more likely to win. but I don't want to underestimate Türkiye of course.

Netherlands are strong and they will be a big challenging opponent for Turkey to win and participate in the semi final match. However, Netherlands are not perfect or too strong to dominate a match against a strong opponent like Turkey. That means Turkey, in my opinion and analysis from both teams' matches so far, will have some chances in a quarter final with Netherlands.

Van Dijk is no longer an unbeatable central defender like years ago and his performances can go from good to terrible shortly. Turkey have some attacking players who are strong and quick and can exploit weakness of Van Dijk. It's can be a death point for Netherlands in the quarter final.

[Solokan]

In fact, it is difficult to determine which team will make it to the semi-finals with the determined match pairs. especially for the Spain vs Germany match. The host team, Germany, is also in their best performance. they played very stable and disciplined from the start of the Euro. Spain showed an aggressive game which was always difficult to stop. But I would probably choose Germany.

And this is my choice for now who I will predict will qualify for the semi-finals.

- Germany
- Portugal
- Switzerland
- Dutch

But my choice could change when it comes to betting.

It is indeed very difficult to determine which team will qualify for the semifinals of Euro 2024 because the 8 teams in the quarter-finals are of course selected teams and all of them will definitely have good performance. However, it is true that the most difficult thing to predict is the match between Germany and Spain because Spain and Germany certainly have very good performances.

But of course Germany as the host of course Germany has strong support and Germany certainly doesn't want to be embarrassed as the host. and if I look at Germany's last match against Spain, of course I remember the world cup with the score being a 1-1 draw. So the point is that there will definitely be fierce competition in the next match between Spain and Germany.

The prediction you made seems quite good because it is true that in my personal opinion this team will also have the potential to advance to the semifinals. But to be honest, we won't know what will happen next because of course usually the world of football is always full of surprises and match results are always difficult to predict. But of course now we just have to wait patiently and we'll see in the next match in the semifinals, which of course, your predictions, friends, could be wrong.

[adultcrypto]

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

It is going to take time for people to finally accept this change because of the difficulty pronouncing the new name and the old name have really gone far considering the position of Turkey in global politics both in the Middle East and the European Union. But with time people will accept the new 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.

I learnt that there was serious jubilation in the streets of Turkey after the match. Maybe the win was not expected but the team did so well and with this determination, Netherlands will have a hard time winning them. I am excited already about the next match which I believe will also produce many goals like that between Turkey and Austria.
