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

[Jaycoinz]

England vs Switzerland will be the first action of the day. England were one of the favorites of this tournament before the tournament but they didn't perform well in the tournament. I think they were below expectations. Southgate is criticized a lot. I think there is justified criticism against him. Because they have a very good squad. But they cannot show a performance equivalent to this squad. On the other hand, Murat Yakın and Switzerland are one of the best teams in the tournament. I expect them to surprise England in this match. But I will bet on both teams to score.

England favorite? Hmmm for me that's too way off because from the start of this competition I have always known that england were going to be one of the struggling ones and this is because they have never been convincing in their style of play, I don't know how they have managed to even squeeze their selves to this round but what I do know is that Switzerland is certainly a big and major threat for them.

In the match between Portugal and France I noticed the weakness of Portugal's clear finishing. In this important match, Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be absent from the field. Throughout the match he was only seen going close to the ball a few times and wasted the ball every time it came to him. Portugal might have won before extra time if they could have finished better than the chances they had. But unfortunately after 120 minutes of play neither team could score against either side so the result was confirmed by Tiebreaker where France won by a wide margin. Cristiano Ronaldo's last Euro tournament was where he did nothing of note for the team.

I would say Portugal lost this match because of their match strategy. It is true that Ronaldo's presence was not seen in this match. But this is also due to poor match strategy. The ball is not delivered to Ronaldo. Portugal's players made a lot of shots. But most were off target. If the Portugal coach had made his match strategy based on Ronaldo, maybe Portugal's gameplay would have been more organized in this match. Portugal's players completely ignored Ronaldo in this match. I watched the entire match. The Portugal coach should have made a match strategy based on Ronaldo.

However, in this match both the defenders and goalkeeper Khui performed well. Both teams played attacking. If the goalkeepers and defenders were not good, we would have seen several goals in this match.

I think that the coach didn't want Ronaldo to play but he couldn't bench him on the seat because the ex-manager did that and lost his job. Ronaldo's influence is big. I know that he wants his team to win but he should face the fact that he is old. I think that Ronaldo intentionally decreased his activity in the match and let others to play more. It is what it is, a very sad moment for Ronaldo, his fans and the Portuguese.

Btw EURO 2024 posted Ronaldo's image with title - The Last Dance? It was with a question mark. Does anyone think that Cristiano Ronaldo will play in EURO 2028?
I personally think that Cristiano will play in the World Cup 2026 and then retire. To my mind, WC 2026 will be his last dance. He already won EURO, so this is not a big deal. I'm also very sad for Tony Croos, he deserved a better ending.

It will be an exciting match too, after we saw Germany and Spain in the past, England must have evaluated from the previous match, Southgate will definitely make a difference and correct mistakes, but Switzerland cannot be underestimated, they are the best team too, and I think this will be a difficult match for both.

I think that the game might end in a draw, or like Germany and Spain, they need extra time to continue from two full halves, would you bet on tonight's game, I think I myself am not sure about the odds.

Portugal's defeat on penalties was not a bad thing for them after all the Portuguese players struggled in the match against France. This means that Portugal is a strong team that cannot be beaten if there is no penalty shootout in the end, but this has become an obligation where after extra time there is still no loser who has to go through a penalty shootout. And Portugal must go home with a feeling of pride even though there is also a feeling of sadness in the hearts of the Portuguese players and supporters themselves.

Since the second half began, I've noticed that the match will end in a penalty shootout because Portugal is not pushing the ball out but rather generating possession in the game, which is why Ronaldo isn't in the game because no one is feeding him on the pitch and he isn't enjoying the game, and Portugal believes they will still have a chance in the penalties shootout against France but fails. Flex missed an opportunity, but you can't blame him since a penalty is a lucky shot; no one is great at it, and if you miss a penalty, you won't win every time. Ronaldo is finished playing Euro for the country, and Bruno will take over his position now for the next time.

Germany vs Spain was a challenging encounter, and both teams performed admirably on the field. But what I don't understand is why Spain's defender Cucureral the hardball that is did why they didn't giveGermany a penalty. In my opinion, this is a fraud because Germany should have qualified if the penalty was given.

England-Switzerland match will start soon, it will be a competitive match. I don't think England is very good, Switzerland is one of the surprise teams this year.

I think the most important match of the night will be Netherlands-Turkey, let's see how this match will end.

Although Switzerland is highly regarded, I believe England is also rather good. They will give it their all and win today to advance to the next round, because I believe England is the favorite to win the game. Let's see how it turns out. Because England has key players who will help the country improve and make fans happy, you can't predict the match now. In the second half you'll probably know who is struggling in the game England or Switzerland, because of how the game went against Spain and Germany yesterday. Many people believe Germany will come and win the game. If they probably go to a penalty shootout because Spain's goalkeeper is not good enough because making a lot of mistakes making Germany having alot of chance against them but they miss used to opportunities they have in the pitch. Let see who will probably win today and face Netherlands or Turkey.

How England have managed to walk through into the semifinals stage is truly unbelievable if we are to juxtaposition them with their performance in every of the games they have played so far. Maybe they just haven't met with the team that will really unclad them to their underperformance with shocking scores of defeat.

Not that England don't have the talented players for them to be in frontline of this tournament as potential winner but it all seems that there is a large gap of connection and coordination between the players on the pitch. And Southgate hasn't been making the game any better with his choice of starting X1, Cole Palmer still not starting in today's match despite how the young lad has been so effective coming from bench. I think Southgate needs to understand he's playing with a Switzerland team that dissembled the Italian team defense just within the first 45 minutes of official playing time which is why I had expected he was going to do things differently starting with his first X1.

Portugal vs France ended without a goal. After the two teams failed to score in extra time, the match went to penalties to decide the winner. France advanced to the next round on penalties. Portugal had more possession in the match but France had a richer match in terms of goal positions. To be honest, it was a boring match. It was probably the last European Championship for Ronaldo. We can say that his national team career is over.

[KTChampions]

Spain was the better team overall and they won. The VAR checked the supposed handball and decided it was not worth a penalty.
https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/40501722/var-review-why-was-andersen-handball-cucurella-not

The same with the France vs Portugal, it was not as exciting as the previous quarterfinal but France surely was the better team. Even though non scored, France advanced through penalty shootout.

For today, England vs Switzerland would be the best match. England is always a good team and Switzerland has upped their game this time. It would be a competitive one.

I would like to know specifically what France was better at in this tournament. They didn't score (reaching the semi-finals) a single field goal. I’m not saying that they are unfairly moving on, but I am sure that there is no need to look for logic in the lottery results. Yesterday France was just luckier.
As for the possible penalty in the game Germany - Spain, the referee could well have awarded it: this rule is very subjective and the fact that Kukurela’s hand was in the path of the ball was his fault; if the hand had been pressed to the body, there would have been no questions.

Sad for Portugal and Ronaldo that he wasn't able to take his team in the semi finals. Sometimes the penalties are cruel for one team as i thought Portugal played a better game but in the end, it was France who made it to the semis.

Mbappé with the protective mask be again be seen in action in the next match.
France will play with Spain in the Semi finals and remember Spain is that team who eliminated the hosts Germany.  I really wanted to see Germany progress but sometimes wishes do not come true.

This is the worst and most boring match in the quarter finals as there was no shot on target by both teams and their goalkeeper didn't have any ball to save but just relaxing because of weak strikers. England as usu took dominaceof the first half but they couldn't create a better chance of finding the back of the net. Switzerland was on the defensive side because they are being careful and don't want to make any mistakes because England is in charge of the midfield. I don't know what will be the outcome of the second half and I hope that it will be interesting.

Exactly, despite England having good squad but yet they haven't shown any signs of professionalism in their play and honestly, for England to reach this stage of the competition it still Marvels me because they didn't play like a team that want to move further in this competition. Just imagine this line up of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Declan Rice and Phil Foden this are high profile players in their respective leagues but apart from Saka, Phil Foden and Harry Kane the rest are not showing any good performance. Currently they are playing a goaless draw in the first half of the quarter finals between them and Switzerland and I was expecting that England must have been leading by now but yet no goal yet. Though the Switzerland side are proven hard to win because I remembered the match between them and Germany, they played real good football that day.
 Seems all the quarter finals matches will end in halftime draw and possibly full-time draw as it happened in the matches played yesterday but let's await the final outcome of England - Switzerland match and the later game between Netherlands and Turkey

@Ondekinecakabilirim is very much right, England was considered the favorites of the tournament because of the overall value of the players when compared to the rest, and they pretty much had a much easier path to get out of the groups and hopefully get to the finals...but we all have watched what a sh*ty game it's been for this star rated team has been giving us below average performances and a bit of luck that has got them this far!

Already playing against the Swiss, as expected the draw Queens(England) can't find the back of the net, and if you ask me given a chance for Switzerland to express themselves...I don't see England progressing but let's see how the game unfolds.

Sad for Portugal and Ronaldo that he wasn't able to take his team in the semi finals. Sometimes the penalties are cruel for one team as i thought Portugal played a better game but in the end, it was France who made it to the semis.

It's going to be a blockbuster of a game, but I have a feeling Spain could go all the way to win it because they are getting the goals in open play and avoiding the penalty shoots which tend to be 50-50...which for me says this is a team with a plan on how to win the tournament!

France were opportune to qualify after a tough fight against Portugal, both the teams were very good in the match and they were all cautious by avoiding coinciding unnecessary goals which they both achieved that, but Penalty Shootout decides their faith.

England Vs Switzerland match is still going on, the match is still goalless at half time, and the England team looks serious today even though they are finding it difficult to score a goal.

I am in support of England in this game, because I feel like if they qualify, they will make the competition more tough.

[letteredhub]

England vs Switzerland, first half 0-0.

With both team not been able to have a shot on target on this game it's so much to wait for tonthe second half. Although England had a lot of possession on the game but where no where with it. There was an up leveled confidence with England on this one with their performance despite not with any goal, compared to their previous games.

Switzerland on the other hand, has been without any significant opportunity so far with their persistent overloading crosses.

Let's see what could make up of the second half.

[Mr.right85]

Spain was the better team overall and they won. The VAR checked the supposed handball and decided it was not worth a penalty.

For today, England vs Switzerland would be the best match. England is always a good team and Switzerland has upped their game this time. It would be a competitive one.

I would like to know specifically what France was better at in this tournament. They didn't score (reaching the semi-finals) a single field goal. I’m not saying that they are unfairly moving on, but I am sure that there is no need to look for logic in the lottery results. Yesterday France was just luckier.

I don’t know how anyhow would see France to have been good in this tournament. Perhaps you would want to categorize them for a team that seats back and hold the game, waiting for there opponents to score the goal for them or perhaps gift them a penalty because, that’s all that could be said about France in this tournament. Talking about a team that is gifted with so many talents in its rank and some of the best qualities football could find, they haven’t been able to score a single on field goal. I had hoped Portugal gets to advance tomorrow, for the two elite players on CR7 and Pepe to advance but, the bar saw J. Felix’s penalty kick out and Diogo Costa couldn’t come up with any incredible saves from the spot penalty spot kick. He was great through the game but, not this time against a more formidable foe.

Something to note however,
We’ve all managed to be losing on a chance to get a first half bet result in the quarter finals of this Euro. It’s been a win market across all played games so far in the Euro 2024. You’ll find the old for first half draw to be about 2 odds on almost all bookies.

Ordinarily, you would expect this odd to be higher but, given the likelihood of the possible outcome, it’s dropped. At the moment, Stake.com has placed the first half market odd for a draw between Netherlands vs Türkiye to be 2.42, Duelbits.com has it at 2.41, Fortunejack.com has it at 2.32. You can reference a couple of gambling site you play at for the odds.

England vs Switzerland already delivered a first half draw market result. At this stage of the competition, no team wants to make any mistakes. It’s all playing safe while hoping to capitalize on any chances as it’s provided but, no team have done a great job at it.

England vs Switzerland match looks very boring to me. I expected to see a competitive match. But the overall performance of both the teams is very poor. England and Switzerland played very slow in the first half. Although 15 minutes of the second half are over, their performance is still very slow. Neither team's players are trying to attack too much.

England's squad is not weak. Talented players like Harry Kane, Bellingham, Saka are in their squad. However, England's performance is poor. The chemistry between the players is not good. But I think the match will be a draw. And the result will be decided by penalty shootout.

[Cryptmuster]

I don't know what will be the outcome of the second half and I hope that it will be interesting.

The second half started more interesting, Switzerland had already made several shots on target, but the score still remained 0-0. England today does not give as much space to the Swiss national team as Italy did and we see a completely different game. In the first half I liked England more, they played more confidently, but probably this was not enough to beat Switzerland. Switzerland started the second half better and Southgate seemed fully focused on defence. The match is still boring, but England play like this in almost all matches at this Euro, and I expected more attacking football from Switzerland, it looks like they are starting to wake up in the second half...

[Bitcoin_people]

England are currently trying hard to score and Switzerland are also attacking a lot to give England goals. A very exciting game between the two teams with both teams battling hard but neither successfully scored a goal so far. However, the attacking situation is likely to be more exciting for the England team and there are plenty of chances to score. Although England have strong stars in their squad, they have not been able to mount a successful attack against Switzerland so far. However today's game will be penalty shootout if no goal is scored till the last minute and in penalty shootout each team can win depending on luck. In that case, if England's luck is good in today's match, they can win and if Switzerland's luck is good, they can enter the semi-finals.

If I may say so, this match was really boring. I thought yesterday's match between Portugal and France was the most boring match but today we saw another boring match.
The ball was mostly in the middle of the pitch, both teams were short on chances and even the on target chances were really poor.

For Switzerland this might be a normal situation because they will definitely be a bit defensive, but for England they should be better than this because after all they are a champion candidate even compared to other national teams in the quarter-finals this time they are the team that has the greatest probability of winning. But with the game they had it really doesn't reflect a team that has a strong probability of winning the Europa this time.

[ajiz138]

England-Switzerland match will start soon, it will be a competitive match. I don't think England is very good, Switzerland is one of the surprise teams this year.

I think the most important match of the night will be Netherlands-Turkey, let's see how this match will end.

England's game is the same as before there is no significant change, so far the match has not been scored but England does not have an on shot target the English players are always not in the right position when they are in front of the opponent's goal.

We expect this match to be 0-0 until Full Time plus possible extra time.

edit: Switzerland 1-0 England

Netherlands vs Turkey is probably going to be an interesting match, usually there are always goals for Netherlands - Turkey matches rather than Switzerland vs England which is a bit boring but we have to watch this until the end.

England starts playing again only when something needs to be corrected, they were able to equalize the score and after that they play much more actively, trying not to bring the game to additional extra periods. After all, so far all the quarterfinal matches have been continued with additional halfs, and this match seems not to be an exception. At the end of the match, everything changed and now Switzerland plays more carefully, mainly in defense, perhaps relying on Sommer.
