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

[abhiseshakana]

Such a character showed by Turkey last night. But it was still not enough for the win. They were the much better side than Netherlands in the first half and this brought about the goal as well. However they once again had to deal with the manager's hard-to-understand choices. He preferred a very defensive system in the second half which just made things easier for Netherlands to organize more attacks.  

He is such a poor manager that he didn't even want to make substitutions right after conceding the first goal. If it weren't for the players' extra effort Turkey wouldn't be able to reach this phase.

Turkey could have really won last night as Netherlands weren't that great. New generation has great players, Arda Güler coming first. They really can bring bigger successes to their country in the future.  

One by one the underdog teams have experienced defeat in euro today, previously we hoped that one from of Switzerland and Turkey would be able to reach the semifinals of the Euros, but instead both of them lost with great honor to a team that was bigger and stronger than them, talking about yesterday match, of course it was quite painful for Turkish fans, their team should be able to win over the Netherlands after being able to perform quite well throughout the match, even though they often get pressure in the first half, Turkey is still able to play quite well and can even trouble the Dutch defense, but the Turkish defensive line really suffers the bad effect of losing Demiral in this match because that the Dutch attackers were often able to move freely in the Turkish defense.

A one goal lead should have made Turkey play more aggressively in order to score goals again and secure their chances, but their coach seemed to prefer to secure a 1-0 win in the second half, what the Turkish coach did of course backfired on them because hoping for a 1-0 win from a big team like the Netherlands, but apart from this defeat of course I am quite impressed to see Turkey game which has improved rapidly over the this years.

There are no black horse teams at the Euros this time. With the defeats suffered by Switzerland and Turkey, only the top teams will advance to the semifinals. I think Turkey is certainly very disappointed with their defeat because they already have tried their best, but they have had many misfortunes in the finishing touch. This is quite reasonable because after Netherlands managed to catch up, Turkey looked rushed and unable to control their composure. As a result, they cannot maximize the good opportunities they have.

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.

Although Uefa had previously fined players such as Bellingham and Xhaka, it gave Merih a 2-match suspension, without any postponement. Uefa, which announced Bellingham's penalty in 3 days, approved Merih's penalty in 3 hours. That's why there is no more trust anymore. Merih was a defender who could make a great contribution in the Netherlands match played yesterday. We will now say that we are eliminated, that's it.

But i think used such gesture was unnecessary, though UEFA was sanctioned merih, but they were no parties who can be blamed. I agree. UEFA was not fair about the ban given to bellingham and merih, bellingham was 1 match, but Merih was 2 matches. Merih could have avoided the ban by not making a sensitive gesture. And i think he should have known very well that if he is playing in the highest national competition in euro. I think both, merih and bellinghem deserved it.

UEFA is not totally wrong here. I think Merih must realize if he did something wrong that cost his club a loss against the Netherlands. Last, I hope Merih will be more professional in the next competition by avoiding use such unnecessary gesture like that.

From the beginning of this tournament, England have been surviving on luck even against a weaker team that one might expect them to win easily. Defensive errors and poor positioning of the goal keeper gave room for the England equalizing goal. Switzerland try their best to defend their goal but Saka has always been a freeman since the kickoff and couldn’t be stopped.

English team were lucky to win the game but the Switzerland goalie was very poor in spot kicks, he should have been subbed out for a better kick stopper. I felt sad for Switzerland after all the effort they put in that game.

2 elite teams that have made it thus far in the tournament of the likes of France and England haven’t done very much to earn their spot in the semi final. They’ve just been lifted this far by share grace but, I don’t see that helping any team to lift the trophy. I think all share grace will end around Spain. Spain remains the one team that haven’t depended on luck to push forward but, put in the work, showing their might in all games, defeated Germany even with their home support.
England knows what to do, I didn’t see Saka to have been any free in the game against Switzerland but, he was rather relaxed and not much engage. It only dawn on them when they were loosing by a goal. You know you’re a step out of the tournament and have to put in your all to get back.

The Swiss did good with their penalty spot kick I tell you, Akanji was just unlucky as the delays and mind games that Pickford tried worked. Pickford guess the right way and saved the first penalty, giving England the advantage as, it comes with a lot of confidence for the English players through the rest of the kick. It doesn’t become any difficult to take the shot afterwards, you’ve got lifeline.

There are no black horse teams at the Euros this time. With the defeats suffered by Switzerland and Turkey, only the top teams will advance to the semifinals. I think Turkey is certainly very disappointed with their defeat because they already have tried their best, but they have had many misfortunes in the finishing touch. This is quite reasonable because after Netherlands managed to catch up, Turkey looked rushed and unable to control their composure. As a result, they cannot maximize the good opportunities they have.

Just a note, it’s Türkiye now, no longer Turkey. I know it would take some time but, you would do well to help yourself remember.


Well, there was only a couple of ways the game could have gone and this time, Türkiye shot themselves in the foot. Haven’t conceived that equalizer, they went ahead to conceive an own goal. It isn’t any less disappointing but, they did the much they could against the might of Netherland. The Oranges did themselves solid.

Murphy's statement makes sense. I was also concerned about how Mendes did not replace Ronaldo in the last game against France. Ronaldo did absolutely nothing. Mendes and Jota were at the bench. I though Mindes should give them a chance to play. But, it's absurd because of Mendes was always keeping Ronaldo to play.
Perhaps, Mendes may be doing it to honor Ronaldo. This was because  it's Ronaldo's last Euro with Portugal.

It's also very embarrassing to see how Ronaldo doesn't seem to realize if that damages his legacy more than failing to score or break new records.

It is needless to blame Ronaldo for the early departure of Portugal from the competition. We all know that this player works very hard and is a good shape. He is not the only striker who played four or five games and didn't get any goal. They are saying he had no positive influence because they forgot that he gave Bruno Fernandes a beautiful assist. There might be other younger players who would have done a better job but Ronaldo wasn't in bad shape. The only reason they are blaming him is because they lost the quarterfinal game. If they had won the competition, he would have been highly celebrated.

Life is all about trying and taking risks. I don't think Ronaldo expected that they would be knocked out at this level. He thought that he would score goals and win the competition thereby breaking records. Sadly it didn't turn out as he expected, so he needs to endure the pain of criticism and disappointment.

To be frank I don't know why anybody should point hand at Ronaldo for the exit of his country from the competition because literally, this is a player that got emotional when he missed a penalty against Slovenia and we all don't know how he's feeling considering the fact that he didn't score any goal in the competition. We should understand the fact that country games and league games ain't same because it is always difficult to understand the pattern of play of your teammates in the national team unlike the league games where you are familiar with your teammates because you guys plays together on regular basis so it would be bad pointing fingers at the Portuguese International footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. There is no way he can pass the ball to himself and score goals as a team success is more of a combative efforts rather than just being dependable on a particular player. I know Ronaldo is a big name but that doesn't mean that big players doesn't face challenges in matches. I have watched some of the matches of Portugal in this competition and I can strongly say that Cristiano Ronaldo was selfless in his play because most of the time he passes the ball to a teammate to score instead of being selfish or self centered.

 It is so bad how people are often interested only when you are making progress or becoming successful unlike during your challenging and trying times. I was even surprised that Ronaldo was cheerful after the quarter finals with France and was even consoling an emotional Pepe who was crying because this EURO competition was his last in his football career. No one also cares about how Ronaldo was feeling after their elimination or is it because he didn't express his emotions as well?. They also need to know that France is not also an easy team to win so they met a strong opponent and not lesser team and when a game enters into penalty shoot outs it is always based on luck because any team can lose in penalties.

The mentality of the Dutch players proved to be better in this match so they were able to turn things around, this was a quite dramatic match.
For the quarterfinals we have seen quite impressive drama, there were lots of surprises.

For the semifinal matches England vs Netherlands and France vs Spain it will be quite a fierce match and in my opinion this is a fairly ideal semifinal.
And no one is overly favored in the semifinal match, this will be quite fierce and interesting.

The level of ball control possessed by the Netherlands was indeed better than Turkey, but the Netherlands also benefited from one of the own goals scored by a Turkish player so that the Netherlands had that advantage until the end of the match because after that no more goals were scored in the match. I see that Turkey wasn't too bad in the match, but Turkey was just unlucky so they also had to go home at the end of the match because they didn't qualify for the next round.

I could not be satisfied with the performance of England and Switzerland in this match. We all expected better gameplay from these two teams. Especially despite having a strong England squad, their performance was quite poor. Saka saved England in this match. He managed to equalize the match 1-1 in just 5 minutes.

Both teams performed cautiously in extra time as well. England had a total of 13 shots in the match and Switzerland's players had 11. Both teams had only 3 shots on target each. In the penalty shootout, England scored 5 goals but Switzerland scored 3. Akanji failed to score from the penalty spot. This is nothing but Switzerland's bad luck.

For me, England have been able to qualify for the semi's by sheer luck. In fact, throughout the tournament, they haven't been impressive and have been fortunate enough to get by with teams that haven't been serious too. For me, Switzerland would have been the country to end their dreams if Saka hadn't squashed their dreams.
 I still don't know why Gareth Southgate won't start the likes of Ivan Toney or Cole Palmer. These two have been changing the game whenever they are brought in and the more they left in the bench, I feel their confidence will be dropping. Maybe he's confused as to who to start and to whom to bench or bring later because of the myriad of good players they have.
Funny enough, they could use this their pattern of getting one goal and holding it down or drawing so they can get to penalties and deceive the other teams in this competition and before you know it, they are in the finals.

Luck is also a very important factor, not only England is lucky at this Euro, the French team is also very lucky, perhaps even too lucky. Southgate is still winning, so it is difficult to criticize his decisions, it would be different if he had lost like Spalletti did, who said that his strategy worked in Napoli when everyone condemned him, now that we see how bad Italy looked compared to other teams, we can to say that Spalletti's strategy was very bad. England started to play when they conceded, maybe their excessive caution hindered them.

Dude, it's easy to criticize Ronaldo for not moving aside, but that's a narrow perspective. Bruno's assist shows the guy still has the goods. People forget he's still a game-changer even though he's not scoring and concentrate on the lost possibilities

Regarding Ronaldo still playing in spite of all the heat, that's the competitive fire, right? It's about giving his all for the team, even if it isn't beautiful, not only about the objectives or the records. He arrived at the Euro intending to set an example and maybe ignite some team fire. Though he put all on the line, guy, it did not turn out the way he intended. Surely respect is something

[Jossque]

Turkey lost to the Netherlands yesterday and were eliminated from the tournament. We went ahead in the first half and then conceded a simple goal in the second half, which was a pity for us because I think we were the better side in the game. Montella's late decisions and some of the players not playing affected the game. Kenan Yildiz should have come on earlier, he shouldn't have even started, but Montella's constant preference for him was not normal.

I think the referee made many decisions against us in the match. Xavi Simons stepped directly on Mert Müldür's shin and this should have been a direct red card. VAR did not even intervene in this intervention. It was a decision I couldn't understand. A red card early in the match could have pushed us to play better. If it had been in the group matches instead of the quarter-finals, I'm sure they would have given him a red card.

It's also very embarrassing to see how Ronaldo doesn't seem to realize if that damages his legacy more than failing to score or break new records.

I'm confused by the people who still blame Ronaldo, both when the Euros started and after Portugal slumped. So the point is that it is too narrow in assessing the team's play, Portugal played with 11 people and if they blame one person then why are there 10 other people even though it turns out the penalty kick was missed? he is Joao Felix, maybe you  not watch the Portugal vs France match? so you miss many moments that should be evaluated as a whole. Judging individually is certainly very unfair, in football there are definitely winners and losers. Regarding of the attack line the fact is that France is also dull Mbappe Doesn't Have Many Opportunities. So the point is that losing is losing, whether it's about quality or so on, but we can't demand that Ronaldo continue to perform optimally. He is 39 years old and it is normal for his performance to decline.

[SmartCharpa]

It looks like you should be disappointed, Portugal lost in this penalty shootout, Joao Felix failed to complete the penalty kick that was entrusted to him, if Felix had not failed in the penalty kick then it is very likely that Portugal would have escaped, after all, everyone has worked hard, France is superior and no one can deny that, they are still the favorite team to win the Euro event this time ^{(apart from Spain)}

I was heartbroken when Portugal lost in the penalty shootout, I wasn't expecting that because Portugal had Diogo Costa, who saved them against Slovenia, and I expected him to save them against France, but things didn't go as expected. Both teams performed well throughout the game, but Portugal was not lucky to win. As Felix wanted to take the penalty, I was afraid because he always hit the post and missed a penalty. I believe that if Bruno Fernandes had not been substituted in the second half, Portugal would not have lost the penalty because Felix would not have been able to take it if Bruno had been on the field.

However, I agree with you, apart from Spain, France is the favorite to win this tournament. But if you look at their next game against Spain, I am not thinking France is the favorite to win since Spain seems to be the strongest team in this tournament, and I am not sure any opponents will be able to withstand Spain's pressure. I don't think so, because Spain always puts pressure on their opponents, as they did in the last game against Germany, and scored the winning goal in the last minute.

[Jossque]

In the England vs Switzerland match, England was the winner. England had a hard time in this match. Switzerland managed to take the lead in the 75th minute, but 5 minutes later, they conceded a goal to make it 1-1. When the score remained unchanged in extra time, the match went to penalties. England, who did not miss any of their penalties, managed to be the winner of the round. Akanji missed the first penalty and Switzerland bid farewell to the tournament.

In fact, throughout the tournament, they haven't been impressive and have been fortunate enough to get by with teams that haven't been serious too.

England started to play when they conceded, maybe their excessive caution hindered them.

If you think luck is very important I'll like to ask, for how long will the England national team rely on luck? I won't bring France into the mix because they have faced more stronger side than England which made me believe that France are better and doing well than the 3 Lions. For Spalletti I can't really tell what went down with his team to be frank with you, because they are just there in the tournament like nothing threatening to show as former Champions until the last day they was eliminated, they didn't take this tournament too serious and I'll add that they don't have a team that can get them to the final.
Back to England's coach Gareth Southgate, I think this man is hoping on luck and he forgets that he has the best on the bench to give his team easy flow of football and make the team more aggressive and hard to play against by other teams like Spain, but he prefers playing the familiar faces that he knows they haven't done anything to convince the fans that they're ready to even play against Netherlands.

[Jossque]

It was sad that Turkey was eliminated. Because we had a generation that could see the Final here. A manager like Montella failed to manage this squad. Had it not been for 75 minutes of Kenan Yıldız, maybe we would have expected a different result for Turkey. With the introduction of Semih Kılıçsoy, we started to create more positions. The last minutes were exciting and I must say that we missed many scoring positions. It was a match that we would have definitely won if it had gone into extra time.

Two great nations hard a big fight yesterday and I couldn't stop staring my TV cause at some point I almost got tense with the way England was playing I never know that Saka was going to get that beautiful goal to bring them back to the game once again. It was a great performance from Switzerland who got the lead in the 75th minute of the game through the goal of B. Embolo, but all thanks to Saka's goal in 80 minutes if not there wouldn't be a need to play in the extra minutes before playing the penalties. One team needed to leave for the other team to qualify to the next round and it favored England yesterday as Akanji couldn't convert his penalty kick to goal and England was lucky to score all their kicks to advance to the next round, it was a nice game they had yesterday.

[Zaguru12]

Perhaps, that yesterday would be one of the worst performance England have displayed so far in this tournament. Sincerely speaking, I was rooting for their elimination due to how irritating they were playing. Switzerland played the game with utmost dedication and I wish they won the match.

From the beginning of this tournament, England have been surviving on luck even against a weaker team that one might expect them to win easily. Defensive errors and poor positioning of the goal keeper gave room for the England equalizing goal. Switzerland try their best to defend their goal but Saka has always been a freeman since the kickoff and couldn’t be stopped.

English team were lucky to win the game but the Switzerland goalie was very poor in spot kicks, he should have been subbed out for a better kick stopper. I felt sad for Switzerland after all the effort they put in that game.

Not only yesterday but the entire competition the team has been playing poorly, to even expand this poor performance I think it is the entire tournament that hasn’t lived up to the expectations. Among the four semi finalists the French National team and the England national have been the team which hasn’t performed to the level which the world has placed them. Funny enough both of them could still be at the finals if their lucks continue which could be one of the boring finals to come.

Those penalty kicks might look calm but it was because the players taking this kicks are great penalty takers. Furthermore i don’t see why Switzerland goalkeeper Yan Sommer was to be substituted because he is very much good at it.

[Pandorak]

Although Turkey lost today but i still impress to see their performance and in the last 10 minutes of second half Turkey could force the Netherlands to play more defensively and they even can gets several chances to scores but unfortunately Netherlands defense is very solid which make them cannot utilize those chances to scores and for Netherlands congratulations for them and this result is very special for Netherlands because finally after 20 years they can able to advances to the semifinal again and next match would be so interesting because Netherlands will fight against England and just like we know England has just advances to the semifinal after beat Swiss through an penalty kick so this is hard match for both teams because they want to go further especially England that as the finalist of last tournament they want to repeat their achievement and for betting option i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Netherlands a bit the favourite than England

It cannot be denied that Turkey played well, even in the final minutes Turkey tried to continue attacking, threatening the Dutch goalkeeper several times. The performance of the Turkish players was very good in the match against the Netherlands, in the first half Turkey managed to score a goal with an assist provided by Arda Guler. However, unfortunately in the second half the Dutch managed to score 2 goals against Turkey, making Turkey lose, while the Dutch managed to advance to the semifinals.

I agree with you. There is no doubt that turkiye performed very well in this match. The Turkiye group is not very strong in comparison. However, turkiye players tried their best to perform well. The players were hardworking and confident. So the performance of turkiye players against Netherlands was very good. But luck was not with them. So until the end, he could not qualify for the semi-finals. But I also didn't think that Turkiye team will qualify for the quarter finals.

At the end of the first half, the Turkiye team was leading 1-0. Turkiye's match strategy was good. Moreover, the team's defense was also strong. So after Turkiye got the lead I thought Turkiye will win this match. But they lost 2-1. In the 76th minute of the second half, Mert Muldur mistakenly put the ball into his own net. And because of this mistake Turkiye lost the match. It was a bad day for Turkiye.

[JahriMeayer]

It was sad that Turkey was eliminated. Because we had a generation that could see the Final here. A manager like Montella failed to manage this squad. Had it not been for 75 minutes of Kenan Yıldız, maybe we would have expected a different result for Turkey. With the introduction of Semih Kılıçsoy, we started to create more positions. The last minutes were exciting and I must say that we missed many scoring positions. It was a match that we would have definitely won if it had gone into extra time.

i appreciate how Turkey played the Match against Netherlands. Turkey tried well, they were in attacking mood even they successfully able to Scored a goal in first half at 35' by Samet Akaydin. But in 2nd half, situation changed. Netherlands took this seriously and become so dedicative from 2nd half and apply their strategy and best effort even they did many Fouls and finally they able to scored 2 goal at 70' and 76' and that changed everything. Turkey should be more dedicative after they experienced 1st goal from Netherlands. Turkey tired their best even in last minutes, (saw Bertug Yıldırım got red card) and unfortunately they get defeated by Netherlands and lost the hope for play in semifinal.
