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

[GxSTxV]

What a scenario today between germany against spain! Honestly, all my predictions went wrong this time, the Euro apparently is so unpredictable and not always the team that dominates is going to win eventually. It was a great game from both sides, in term of performance, chances and beautiful game, however, we didn’t see much goals due to the strong defense from both sides. Even though the game was open from both sides and not having any boring or cold moments.
I have lost my bet in this game, but I didn’t lose the fun and excitement from it which is the best thing as a football fan. Enjoy your games without the negativity of losing your bet. In term of predicting the winner of this tournament, I would put Spain as the closest team so far.

Apparently, both teams are already tuning up for the penalty shootout

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.

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.

According to the commentator, Germany is the first host country to be eliminated in the quarter finals. I am so glad I did not know before now that no host country have been eliminated at that stage before because if I had known, I would have placed bet on Germany to advance to the next stage and that would have made me lose money. Spain played so well and won and I think the winning is clear without any bad officiating, hence the German fans will not hate Spain for eliminating them.

It is a goalless first half between Portugal and France and the match is really more interesting than I thought. Portugal seem to be very confident in this match against my expectations that they will be terrified and oppressed. Kylan Mbappe is yet to prove himself in this tournament as there is huge expectations from him.

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.

Germany lost 2-1 after they forced Spain to play for 120 minutes. I wasn't really surprised by the result, but Germany was really good in the second half. The pressure created by Germany in the second half meant that Spain had to work hard to secure the goal, but the goal they were after finally appeared a few minutes before the end of the second half.

Germany were basically more worthy of winning the game when they came from behind, but they had to give up and fall short at home when Mikel Merino made perfect use of an assist from Olmo. We can see that the fans and players were very disappointed in the end, while it was different for the Spanish camp. Congratulations to Spain, respect to Germany.

[Kavelj22]

For tomorrow's matches, namely England vs Switzerland and Netherlands vs Turkey, I have also made my choices for these two matches. And my choices are Switzerland and the Netherlands.

It seems that everyone is no longer convinced of the Englishmen's competence after their disappointing performance in the past matches. All analyzes did not provide a clear explanation for the decline in performance in a way that was not convincing to fans and critics, especially after the last match against Slovakia, in which they were lucky to score the equalizer in the last moments before adding another goal during extra time. Her loss was very close and this would have been the highlight of the tournament.

Maybe Prince William will help her in her match tomorrow. Prince William, who heads the Football Association in his country, aims to support his country's national team during the confrontation in Dusseldorf, with the aim of securing a qualification seat for the semi-finals of the continental championship. Prince William had already attended England's match against Denmark in the group stage, which ended in a draw in Frankfurt.

It has also been reported that coach Gareth Southgate is planning to make several changes to the strength of his team against Switzerland.

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.

This match between Portugal vs France is really going to be a very tough game, as I see this as a fight on who is the best between Ronaldo and Mbappe specifically, of which this game is likely to end draw with an extra time just as the just concluded game "Spain vs Germany" ended draw with an extra time up to 120 minutes. However, it's already 30 minutes with both team still playing goal-less, whereas  Portugal is currently in full control of the ball possession with both teams playing a defensive game. But in the worst case scenario, I see Portugal winning this game with a penalty kick.

In terms of ball control, France is better than Portugal now. Seeing that the French midfield was very strong made it very difficult for Portugal to play more freely. French counterattacks were more efficient which was good. Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Kante, Kounde are the keys to France when they play to open the team's movements. Portugal is also good in terms of winger Leao being an important role for Portugal's current line. I think Leao should play full time

[coinlocket$]

Crazy win for Spain, they are the stronger team but they manage to win only in the end in the final minute.
The referee got hard time today.

Meanwhile France and Portugual they are playing their final and the game is still open with a result of 0 - 0.

Another extra time game?

No goal was scored by any of the teams in the first half but some good opportunities was not properly used. France do win by luck in their previous matches and I don't see Portugal having an own goal to favor France. The two super stars are on the field representing their countries and I am waiting to see which of them will help see their country through to the semifinals. The second half have just begun and this is where we will see the best from them because one of them must go home no matter how hard they try not to go home. It might turn out to be the same scenario with Germany vs Spain match.

I watched the full first half of the quarter final game between France and Portugal and if you ask me, I think it's been a tight ajd difficult game for both teams. Both teams have asked each other's defense few questions but none of them attempts were enough for any of them to break through. While Portugal have been trying to build their attacks from the back, France have been relying on the pace of their attackers to hit their opponents on the counter.
The second half just kicked off and considering how impressive the both teams have been, I don't can't say for sure which of the teams will likely win the game. The first half finished without a goal but I don't think that'll happen in this second half because both teams are seriously trying to break the deadlock. Most football fans are hopping that the Captains of both teams Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe will make the difference tonight

Spain Vs Germany will be one of the toughest fixture to watch in this EURO, both teams has dedicated a lot of how much they can dominant which has brought them here but unfortunately how out of the best one has to step down for the other. A hard pick on this but Spain have young talented players who can dominate with their level of strength/ability while Germany has a more experienced and tactical players which can be used as an advantage to secure victory. Germany loosing this fixture means saying goodbye Kross, very sad, reason why I want Germany to win so he can say farewell with a trophy.

My prediction was ultimately correct as I had placed Spain to qualify for the semifinals by beating Germany. Lamine Yamal once again proved his quality and repaid his coach's trust by creating 1 assist for Dani Olmo's second goal at Euro 2024. Lamine Yamal impressed many with his impressive performance, but Merino was the hero of Spain's win today.

In the bracket, I have chosen France and Spain to be in the semifinals by beating their respective opponents, but so far France has not scored a goal. Portugal and France were both still playing goalless until the second half, but there was still plenty of time to wait for goals. Both teams look confident in scoring goals, but I hope France can progress to the semifinals to play Spain.

[Abbatty]

Portugal and France just resumed the second half after a goalless first half it was an interesting first half and both teams performed very well. The second half have barely begun but France seem to be more energetic and more aggressive, they are looking to score a goal but Portugal are defending very well. The intensity of thee game is very high and Portugal have not managed to create any chance since the start of the second half. It’s still very difficult to predict a winner.

[Stepstowealth]

Crazy win for Spain, they are the stronger team but they manage to win only in the end in the final minute.
The referee got hard time today.

Many yellow cards in the game, and the referee tried his best not to give a red card earlier that would have spoilt the whole game. Spain won the game at the point where Germany were looking to penalties because they were already exhausted.  Portugal against France looks like another game that will get to extra time or one team winning just by a goal. Camavinga is playing very well for France, his dominance in the role he has been asked to play is very obvious.

This game will definitely end in a draw with the way everything is actually turning up because the two team are very careful  and no one wants to commit any error and if the game actually decides to end up in penalty it would be base on luck and Portugal won their last shoot out with their goal keeper being the center of action by saving almost three penalty I think and if he can replicate such here then it would good for their progress.

[BlackBoss_]

Did Spain deserve the win? They definitely did!    They have such a great squad depth though. Merino's header was so good that I don't think any other goalkeeper would also be able to save it either.

Did they deserve to win?
Did Germany deserve to have a draw in 120 minutes?

Generally I did not see Spain played better than Germany in this match and Germany created more pressure and opportunities on Spain than Spain did on Germany. It's football, one moment decides the winner but Germany actually had some good opportunities and finishes. They only lacked of luckiness to have a second goal.

The referee literally did everything he could for Germany to score in the stoppage time honestly.    But Germany still couldn't score and failed their fans in a competition being organized home.

You are right that the referee tried to give Germany about 2 or 3 more minutes longer than only 2 injured minutes but Germany failed to find a goal. However if you look further, before the second goal of Spain, the referee refused a penalty for Germany. In my opinion, he helped Spain to avoid a second goal and if it happens, Germany lead the match, not Spain.

This defeat is painful for Germany and at least they deserve to pull the match to penalty shootouts. Lose on penalty spot is more acceptable for them than losing like this.

It is clear that the match will end in a penalty shootout because both teams are very careful and nobody wants to make any mistakes. Today quarter final matches will all get to the extra time to show how tough the quarter finals matches are this year.

If the match ends in a penalty it is going to favor Portugal because the have good penalty shooters. France needs to try their best to see how they can create a chance to score before 120 minutes will be over. Three additional minutes have being added as extra time.

I enjoyed watching the match, it was a tough game with plenty of yellow cards and players going to miss the next fixture. Spain really performed at their best, some minutes into the game I had the conviction that Spain were definitely going to win. Spain wasn't relaxed unlike Germany who felt reluctant until they conceded before they began playing to equalize. Germany the Host now has to say goodbye, same with Kross as this becomes his last official professional game, we all wished he stayed longer.

France are the favourites to qualify but from the results on the live session they both have equal odds on who to qualify but I suppose France has a better chance of winning.

If the match ends in a penalty it is going to favor Portugal because the have good penalty shooters. France needs to try their best to see how they can create a chance to score before 120 minutes will be over. Three additional minutes have being added as extra time.

Well even with that being the wide seen option they is still a whole 30minutes of extra time to play and we saw in the previous match that it was at the very dieing minutes that Spain actually suprised and scored a goal and took the tie by surprise. The match is certain for penalty and I would also love it to be decided through that means atleast we know that the two teams was equal in their gameplay and the best goalkeeper will be the decider.

[aylabadia05]

Meanwhile France and Portugual they are playing their final and the game is still open with a result of 0 - 0.

Another extra time game?

I thought that was because both teams had not found a goal until injury time. Both teams have strong defenses and the performance of both goalkeepers is also very good, so extra time is what will happen now.

France vs Portugal is a tough match, but the performance of both teams tends to be the same so far. Both coaches rotated to improve the intensity of the attack, but France improved in the second half. Camavinga, Dembele and Mbappe still failed to score, as did Muani and Kante with several opportunities. I hope Portugal can score goals in 2x15 and win this match. But I really don't like that Ronaldo is still isolated in this match.

[uchegod-21]

I am even surprised to see you post here for the match. Indeed this was a high voltage match and heart breaking for Germany supporters.

Usually I watch big matches. In this match, both team gave their all to win the match. The equalizer in the regular time for Germany was a release for the German fan and then the winning goal in the 119th minute was painful experience for the same supporters. It's a bad day for the host county. I am guessing Spain is going to meet Portugal in the semi :-D

Well analysed!
Your guess that Portugal could be the country to meet Spain is also valid because they have been the better team. But it's surprising that the match has ended again and going to the extra time which means anything can happen. Portugal could be heartbroken and also France could be.
Sorry, there's no much time to discuss here, let me go finish the interesting match.

[Oluwa-btc]

Crazy win for Spain, they are the stronger team but they manage to win only in the end in the final minute.
The referee got hard time today.

Meanwhile France and Portugual they are playing their final and the game is still open with a result of 0 - 0.

Another extra time game?

They deserve the win, they fought hard for it, Germany already showed how exhausted they was honestly and they committed too many fouls. I was surprised to see that non of them finally saw themselves sent out of the pitch. It's not a good farewell then for Toni Kroos, this is not the way I expected it.
It seems like Spain will go a long way to the finals, they lacked concentration otherwise that game shouldn't have be tied. Anyways, I'm not shifting my focus to the Dutch National side as I want them to win this Competition.

We've seen scarcity of chances in this game, I wonder why Bruno Fernandez would be substituted when Rapheal Leao obviously plays nothing in this game.
Asides him would be also Kylian Mbappe who has done nothing in this game. Few minutes of Ousman Dembele on the pitch has been quite better than Kylian Mbappe. I'm wondering if this is what he wants to do when the new season kicks off for the La Liga Competition.

Yeah!! It'll most likely be anoth game ending as a fulltime draw game.

[pawel7777]

As I expected, my favourite to win this year's trophy, Spain, did not let down.
I think Germany was the toughest team out of all the other remaining ones, but Spaniards managed to get through them, and should be much easier from here.

Still a goalless draw in Portugal Vs France, I hope Ronaldo and his team will send the African team home. But let the better team win. I expect to see penalties here.
