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

[Woodie]

I don't understand why Spain isn't celebrating by now, because this is a team with one of the best defences in the Euro's and Germany wasn't in their element either but they allowed Wirtz to get a nice goal to get a second chance of qualification to the semi's...and without the services of youngsters Nico Williams and Yamal, I see this going to penalties  

Whatever the result after extra time, may the best man win!

Let's go Spain!!

[KTChampions]

Please no 0-0 score in 90 minutes... It would be really disappointing for me if it happens. Because I was expecting a couple of goals even if we saw extra time.

Both teams like to play open rather than being defensive. It would be a shame if none of them scores. Pedri picked up an injury by the way and I hope he is okay. He has a really bad injury history at Barcelona if you don't know. He is very injury-prone unfortunately together with being a talented player at the same time.    Anyways, let's see how the second half goes...

Edit: Spain have just scored! A nice assist by Yamal and such a great touch by Olmo, but not surprised as Olmo has a really good technique. 

  Your expectations were not disappointed.
It appears that the 1-1 scoreline between these teams has been repeated for the fourth time in the last five games. This is what I call stability. I wonder what the quotes were for this outcome, probably around 6.00. The result of regular time looks logical; after the missed goal, Germany seized the initiative, and Spain sat too low in defense, for which they were punished.

Two of the strongest teams of the tournament will meet in 2 hours. I am excited to watch the Spain - Germany match, I think it will be a nice and competitive match.
My favorite in this match is Germany, I also think the team that wins this match will play in the final.

I think the Portugal - France match is certain, but Portugal can surprise.

Situation is very interesting as things are heading for the quarterfinals of the Euro 2024 with first game is one of the best game in this event as we are having host Germany after years having spot into quarterfinals and Spain which is currently one of the best team in this event with their performance as things are going mostly are feeling Spain having edge, but Germany is going strong as host nation and their performance is also much better in last few games.

I have strong feeling for the Germany to win and go through for the semifinal with good chance for the final as well, but Spain is surely going to be team to watch, and they will never go down easily in this game we can go through into extra time as well with for me Germany is winner.

[uchegod-21]

Can D. Olmo be the hero as he took the lead for Spain in the 50 minute?

The host Germany has around 15 minutes left to find an equalizer goal otherwise the Euro dream for the host will be all over 
One more goal for the Spain and it will be all over for Germany. Since Germany is on all-attack, Spain will get chances to enhance their lead.
It's a heavy weight contest between the two teams and i am afraid for the hosts the time is ticking away quickly.

In 90 minutes, Olmo was not the hero of Germany's victory as hosts because Wirtz was the player who forced the match to continue into extra time.
In the extra time round, I think the game will be dominated by Germany. Even if there is no change in the score at 15:15, then Germany has a chance to win the penalty shootout.
Germany's hard efforts succeeded. This match was interesting in the second half.
Let's watch the extra time round.

Olmo is a Spanish player and not a German player. The first speak was saying how Olmo was able to put Spain ahead of Germany and was saying if the match ends, he would likely be the hero.

But in the other hand Wirtz said no to the retirement of Tony Kross, maybe he wants him in the finals. I am also happy that the match didn't just end. If it was possible, I will say both of them should stay. But the reality is one must leave...

Spain might have more difficulty in extra halves because both Yamal, Morata, and Williams were out. Lack of best attacking players will affect their attacking system and Germany will try to attack proactively but they will do it carefully. Getting a conceded goal in extra halves is very risky and harder to equalize.

It's enough for a recap, now it's time for watching again.

Spain pulled out their 3 strikers too soon and ended up struggling a bit with their attack relying on Ferran Torres I don't think he will be able to do it alone unless some midfielders come forward to help their attack.

It's clear Germany will have the ball again in extra time if Spain score again they will defend fully, Germany will go back to attacking optimally.
But we'll see if there are any more goals or if the victory will be decided by penalties.

[skarais]

Germany got back and now the score is 1:1. After a long siege and terrible bad luck, the German team still showed their character and scored a goal, but I think that the goal should have been earlier when Havertz did not score into an empty net.
The beginning of the match was not the most interesting, but after the Spanish goal the German team finally managed to pull itself together and show its ability to win back in the last minutes.
I think now both teams want to rest and decide everything in extra time.

Germany managed to force Spain to play longer and this certainly became more interesting. Germany's revival at the end of the second half was natural considering that Spain no longer looked balanced since Olmo scored. Germany should have made good use of several goal opportunities, but they failed and got lucky in the 89th minute.

Now extra time has started and I don't see Spain really being ready to win this match. Germany pressed very well and created lots of chances, of course this is a sign that Germany is starting to get better and is ready to win the match. Spain will certainly try to improve everything in this extra time round, but I'm sure it will be very difficult.

Now, we will have several minutes to take rest before two extra halves. Meanwhile, let's review what happen in the second half.

Germany controlled ball more after Spain scored a goal with an assist from Yamal and finish by Olmo who replaced Pedri in the first half. He is nearly a hero of Spain until 88th minute when Wirtz scored an equalizer for Germany. Before that goal, Germany tried to control ball, attack and create some opportunities with two biggest chances from Füllkrug and Kai. They nearly lost the match before Kimmich which his effort to jump high and head pass the ball back to Wirtz who scored.

Spain might have more difficulty in extra halves because both Yamal, Morata, and Williams were out. Lack of best attacking players will affect their attacking system and Germany will try to attack proactively but they will do it carefully. Getting a conceded goal in extra halves is very risky and harder to equalize.

It's enough for a recap, now it's time for watching again.

Spain will certainly be more difficult now and rightly noted that now Spain do not have its three strikers and if Pedri is out due to injury, then as I think Morata and Yamal could still be useful, especially Yamal, he is young and strength he should have.
I believe now everyone is waiting for a viscous game, all afraid to take risks and will play on the counterattack, but most likely the match will end in a draw and everything will be decided by a penalty shootout.
Spain as it seems to me is already exhausted, the players are not so sharp in attack, but Germany is still fighting and you can see that they still have strength.

[letteredhub]

Spain came in with an excellent start in the second half with their substitute Olmo given them the lead just in 51mins with that fabulous shot with that constructive pass from Lamine Yamal. Olmo didn't waste a sec launching the ball behind the Germany goalie so calmly, a one touch hit.

Can Germany give a response in this game against Spain?  They had that comeback with Switzerland just when we all thought they are put of any possibilities. Looking at the situation, am just left with no choice but to ask if there's a hope still.

Can D. Olmo be the hero as he took the lead for Spain in the 50 minute?

Well, Wirtz F. had to cancel Olmo second half early goal at the 89mims just when we didn't saw that coming. That goal brought a lot of smiles back to the German fans, so electrifying, which beg the question of who's really the hero of tonight's 90mins Full Time play in this match.

So much pressure from Germany as they had to react after conceiving that goal, with a lot of great chances forcing the Spanish defense to bow at last. I think this German tran deserves some accolades. The game is now headed to an extra 30 mins to be played.

[dezoel]

It is indeed a very difficult game to predict, both teams are well equipped with world class players, Spain has a very young and talented squad with the likes of lamine yamal, Dani olmo, pedri, Rodri etc and on the other hand Germany has a seemingly young squad with some experienced players like Toni kroos and Ilkay Gundogan in midfield to enable the German side have a balance at the heart of the midfield in every game they have played so far, both teams play possessive football and also attack massively, hence it is expected that this match may produce lots of goals tonight when both teams meet in quarter final match tonight.

Both teams are on level for the quality and performance as both are having good defense and their attack is also working good but here if we are able to check clearly home fans and home conditions are favouring Germany because they are host and things are surely ideal for them to win this game and having spot into last four but matches like these are never been easy predict because we all know it's big game and both are well-prepared with experience players which are having enough ability to change the tables with their own way.

Kross is having very good year as he has already done double with Real Madrid and now having good chance of winning this trophy with his country and ending his country as one of the best player in soccer history so can he make the mark it's really exciting match and now all are waiting for the start which is coming in less than one hour.

That's a blunder from spain to sent out yamal and nico. After fuente pulled yamal and nico out from the field, the gameplay of spain is changing drastically. And germany is much more dominant in doing attack rather than spain. I know many Spanish fans are disappointed with Fuente's decision because of he replaced Yamal and Nico. Germany is also attacking Spain more intensively since spain lose all of their main attackers. It's bad for Spain.


That's a handball by cucurella, and where the hell is VAR? What the hell is anthony taylor doing? It's such a disgrace!!!!!

The ref is shit for both of sides.

Damn it was clear handball but not seen from the VAR the replay showed the ball hit Cucurella's hand but this was ignored by the VAR was it because of the reflection of Cucurella's hand?

This is not in Germany's favor should get a penalty from the handball.

Ahh like this match will end with a penalty shootout.

Let's go Spain!!

They got the better of Germany in the 28 mins and regained control of the game and it went in their favor from then on but what happened to give Germany the goal just shows that sometimes it's not how well you defend, because when the goal got in, even Simons was left rooted to the spot, utterly confused and equal parts frustrated that despite their efforts to see they end the game as winners, the hosts still found a way to break through.

 Indeed, the both sides are asking questions of each other but it wasn't a wise move by la Fuentes to take out Williams and Yamal as they both were playing essential roles at in their respective wings. Maybe he has his reasons though.
I also agree with you that may the best man win.

[Polkeins]

Apparently, both teams are already tuning up for the penalty shootout and the main task for both teams now is not to collect yellow cards, so that at the next stage they will not have to play with a reserve squad. This applies to both teams, but I think that in the penalty shootout Spain has less chance and although it is clear that the Spanish players are stalling and are not against the penalty shootout, but for the Germans this Euro is home and the whole stadium will be for them, besides Neuer is an extremely experienced goalkeeper and for him this is not the first penalty shootout in his career.

[Tipstar]

Spain won the game 2-1 against Germany in the extra time.
Germany vs Spain was the best and most competitive match till date for this tournament. The commenter rightly said that this could have been the final but only one team is moving ahead from this.
Spain took the lead in early 2nd half with Olmo's goal, while Germany scored a leveling goal in the last minutes of 2nd half. The first half of extra time had no goals while the 2nd half saw a goal from Spain's Mikel Merino with an assist from Olmo. One red card and 6 yellows for Spain though. It might hurt them in further games.

Germany out! The equalizer of the regular time was a joy but the extra time goal was heart braking for German supporters. I usually do not watch football but since this was a high voltage match, I was watching the match while I was working. It was a good match after all.

[SUPERSAIAN]

The winner of the Spain-Germany match was Spain. They eliminated the Germans in the quarter-finals at home with a score of 2-1 in extra time. Now they have reached the semi-finals and are waiting for their opponents in a comfortable situation.

This evening, their rivals will be determined and the winner will be Portugal - France, which will start soon. Regardless of the outcome of the Portugal and France match, in my opinion, Spain is a much better team.

What a game it was and what a turnaround at the last minute of Extra time a small mistake from Rudiger cost Germany elimination from EURO 2024. What a performance by Spain it is not easy to win this kind of games from home side at their ground.

[bitzizzix]

Unfortunately hosts Germany had to be defeated by Spain and advanced to the next round. The match was very tense and there were buying and selling attacks, and Germain played very impressively, but unfortunately at the end of extra time in the second half after the score was tied at 1-1, Mikel Merino was able to score a goal with a header in the 119th minute and changed the score to 2- 1. And made Spain qualify for the next round.
The quarter-final match will be interesting and exciting and this applies to all countries, and I think Portugal's next match against France will be even more interesting and tense.

This was a tragedy for Germany in 119th minute stoppage time which was about to go to penalties, but Olmo's cross was good enough to be headed in by Mikel Merino this was a really unexpected goal the German defense here was caught off guard as they were more focused on attacking.
As the host must fall even though Germany is the favorite of the Champion.

[Chilwell]

PORTUGAL vs France

🇵🇹 Portugal : Diogo Costa; Cancelo, Rúben Dias, Pepe, Nuno Mendes; Palhinha Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes; Leao, Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva

🇫🇷 France : Maignan , Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, Theo Hernández Kanté, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Griezmann, Kolo Muani, Mbappé

Finally Germany has been eliminated and Spain are now waiting for either Portugal or France to play Semi final, this is going to be tough one, few minutes to go.
