On the other match Spain vs France, Spain will win the match.

Spain vs Netherlands in the final, seems better since it's boring to see England and France again.

As it is true that Spain is more favored than France which is also playing a little boring looking at the last few matches meaning that there are no more stunning goals by French players even though Mbappe who is the spearhead is difficult to score.

This final match will be a little different even though we consider Spain vs Netherlands which has an interesting game but I see that the Netherlands always loses in this final also in the World Cup a few years ago I don't remember what year, which is certainly usual for the Netherlands to always be Runner up.

but the defense of the French defenders and midfielders is very strong looking at the France vs Portugal match, whether for tomorrow's match they will use the same strategy or there will be a change in these players from the coach. France's strategy yesterday was pretty good ball control and good at passing the ball. and on the other hand, the Dutch are superior in having a good physique for the current euro season

France has a great goalkeeper, a strong defense, a creative midfielder and a fast attacker. Goal productivity has been a problem for France so far and that is why they need hard work and luck to reach the semifinals. Spain is certainly different and so far Spain is the most productive team in the tournament with a record of 11 goals, while France has only scored 3 goals.

The semi-final match will probably be very different to previous matches for France and Spain, but I don't think France has a higher chance of beating Spain if Luis De la Fuente has a special strategy when he can't play Pedri and Carvajal due to injuries and red cards. Spain have also been strong in defense so far, but without Carvajal I think things will be different.

If we compare both teams, Netherlands seems to be one step ahead. The Netherlands will compete seriously against France by eliminating Turkey with 2 goals in 6 minutes. Although France has difficulty scoring goals in this tournament, they are doing a very good job defensively. France is very successful, but I expected a lot of goals from them in this tournament, so I was disappointed in that sense.

I would say Carvajal is very important defender in Spain squad. Carvajal performed well against Germany. Carvajal made two important saves. He saved the Spain team from a guaranteed goal. Carvajal's presence was very visible throughout the match. At the same time, Pedri helped stabilize Spain's midfield. Without these two players, it will be difficult for Spain coach Fuente to keep Spain's performance stable.

France has a strong squad. However, considering the overall performance of these two teams in this year's Euro, I think Spain is stronger. The bonding between Spain's players is good and Fuente's match tactics are excellent. I consider Spain as favorite against France.

Not surprising to see how dirty playing from Netherlands, they committed many fouls. Lucky for them they will meet England, England isn't that strong, the last match they were draw against Switzerland. Dirty plays will make Netherlands win the match.

On the other match Spain vs France, Spain will win the match.

Spain vs Netherlands in the final, seems better since it's boring to see England and France again.

Even if England by some miracle make it to the final I think the match will still be boring. Yes, I would like to see Spain in the final, they play quite well and never once in this championship have not shown weakness - always fought to the end, the last match against Germany is proof of that. In general, France is not so bad, they are also playing well, so if they go through, I don't see any reason to be disappointed

Since there is absolutely no way to credit them for goals and their attack, I think focusing on their defensive excellence isn't actually a bad one because they have been really discipline or is that the whole competition is Just too poor in terms of goals scored in the entire competition I mean even the Copa America seems to be pumping more goals than this Euro tournament.

I thought myself only who noticed that England whenever facing another opponent, the match end up being boring, less chances, less opportunities and surely less goals. They dominated a very safe gameplay, afraid of starting to attack and creating opportunities for them starts whenever they get late in score.
Spain in the other hand are playing great football with young players, not afraid of going full attack and doing their best to score first. It is the only team which is being fun to watch, and France right after it, although they miss many players which are
lacking attack skills. France throwing all the responsibility on Mbapee is not okay, then not trusting him in penalties as they have did against Portugal.

Actually if Ronaldo was not given the opportunity to play in Euros nobody will notice that he cannot fit into the team anymore because his performance in SPL was in the news a d how he was the highest goal scorer, scoring hat-trick. It was because SPL does not have youngsters that Re super good which was making Ronaldo to shine at old age.

Coming to Euros cleared his doubt to the world that he is old and cannot make any difference in a match the way he use to when he was young. I believe that he will not be part of the national team after their defeat because he is 39 and will be 41 years next world cup showing that he has no cho9but to retire now.

I think you have a point, i am a Ronaldo supporter but frankly i think it is time for Ronaldo to retire from international football and entrust it to the young generations to takeover. It was obvious that he is far too old to play active football in Europe and he was barely able to make decent runs which was unlike the Ronaldo we know, football doesn’t lie and this Euro showed it to the world that he needs to retire and that’s the sad truth.

I have no regrets for him playing the Euros despite not being able to score a goal because he deserved the call up as a result of a wonderful performance in SPL last season, he still has some attributes in him even at this age but i don’t know why people still expect so much from him, i blame the young players for not playing well because if they did everything would have been easy for him. Rafeal Leao, Bruno Fernandez and even Bernado Silva couldn’t do anything and y’all blaming Ronaldo who is 39 for the downfall of his national team.

England is also boring for me at the last World Cup and Euros; in the playoffs, sometimes I think that they would lose quickly, although I understand that this may offend the fans of this team. Perhaps Hari Kane will show his worth in attack, for some reason I have this feeling. Spain, with its young players, can win the championship if they continue their passion and courage.

Mbappe now has too many eyes and responsibility on him, if he even starts to doubt a little, then failure will be close, although I would not demand much from him in this Euro, because he has injuries to his nose, internal contradictions from other championships, problems in his home country with elections and a lot of small and big problems. If he calmly finishes the game, that will be enough for me.

Among all the teams in this Euros if you want to rate from 1-5 teams that have the best players England will come out in the first 3 and the team do we think was going to give us the best of football to watch, England will come out in the top 3 but yet they are the worse in this competition I must say and operating base on luck to this extend I think they should settle for 3rd place. I also agree with you that there (England) presence in the finals will be pretty terrible because they have been playing like underdogs or should I say amateur, watching the 3 Lions makes me feel upset with those line ups that couldn't do anything impressive.
France have got the players and non sees them as one of the  nation to get to this point (Semis) and their play hasn't been up to the level we have seen of the Spanish side but they're better than the likes of the current Champions Italy, England, Belgium and the rest of them who we thought would get far. If they manage to get to the finals I believe they could make it more interesting to watch and difficult for their opponent just like they came with a big fight against Argentina in the World Cup final but let's watch and see how their next game turns out to be.

It looks like that it is maybe too poor in terms of scored and scoring Goals in the whole Euro 2024 competition.
The Copa America teams also have another playing style as the Euro teams have.
But i guess the main reason for that there are not so much goals is that the other teams getting better and done there homework.

I think it still makes sense but in the end it cannot be denied that Ronaldo's role in Portugal also for this euro is still there, it's just that we can't expect anything more because it will be very difficult to be the backbone at an age that should have retired but Cristiano is trying to break that even though it is difficult because the problem of age is always a limitation and a problem that cannot be avoided by an athlete.
Also, we seem to be focusing too much on Cristiano as if Portugal's defeat was all Cristiano's fault when for a player of his age he has played well and not many people can do that.

But on the issue of retirement I agree, now Cristiano should try to let go with the regeneration in the national team although maybe for age in the club it is still not thought of but for the national team he must move now because after all he is old enough to carry a heavy burden.

Ronaldo cannot be entirely blamed for Portugal elimination from the Euros, he has given his best at his no longer young age. It's true, only a few players his age are capable of playing at the top level, and so far we haven't heard any news about Ronaldo retirement plans. In my opinion, in fact, almost all managers will be faced with a difficult choice when dealing with Ronaldo presence, not calling him to the national team is a disaster, when Ronaldo is included in the squad there is no other choice, but to use him as a starter, even though Ronaldo has physically declined a lot. It's time for Ronaldo opportunities for the younger generation, don't let his presence be seen as hampering regeneration in the Portuguese national team, he will remain one of the best and a legend.

I've watched most of England national team's games in the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship and to be honest, they've never had a convincing win if you ask me. The team is made up of great players without doubt but very few of this great players have been outstanding in the ongoing European Championship. Some are of the opinion that England's failure to live up to the expectations of football fans especially the English fans is as a result of the the manager's poor tactical approaches. However, despite England's unconvincing results that's helped them reach the semi finals of the competition, they're at least better than France who's not scored from open play since the start of the competition.
Should the two nations meet in the final, I think it'll be one of the the most boring finals in the history of the tournament because of their failures to score lots of goals.

I disagree to say Ronaldo like this. He is no longer as good as he was years ago but saying he is a worse Portuguese player in this tournament, it's not true. I am not his fan, to be frank, but do you think younger players like Joao Felix played better than Ronaldo in Euro 2024 for Portugal?

Joao Felix and Nunes wasted two opportunities to help Portugal winning this match in 120 minutes but they can not score that winning goal for their team. At the penalty spot, Joao Felix failed and his team had to go home because of his shot. Now it will be days before we know Ronaldo's decision to continue with his national team or retire. I believe he will not announce his retirement at the national team soon.

You are free to disagree buddy that is my opinion about CR7 during this tournament. I did not see anything special with him in this tournament, starting from shoot on goals, teamwork with his teammate, etc. If we talk about wasting opportunities, I do believe CR7 did the same thing in this tournament. One clear example is when he failed on the penalty against Slovenia in extra time. Coming to retirement, I think he still wants to play in 2026 world cup and he may become the oldest player in the tournament. Of course it will also be depending on the manager of Portugal national team whether he will bring CR7 or not in 2026 world cup.

If he continues to play football in 2026 and still works hard and has some qualifications. I think no manager can prevent him from playing for the Portuguese national team in 2026. Ronaldo always got what he wanted and I don't think much will change. By the way, I believe that your criticisms about Ronaldo are correct.

On the other hand, he did not have a very effective trophy, maybe it was about the team, maybe it was not. But he missed a lot of things as well as the other team and could not do what they wanted.

Yeah that's how England plays not very impressive but they have ability and luck and managed to go in the semifinals, this time I can say that England was lucky again because against Netherlands in the semifinals I mean, between Spain, France and Netherlands, of course fighting against Netherlands  is easier so England chances of reaching the final are even greater while Spain and France had to fight as hard as possible, 2 main candidates as winners.

I just checked the betting markets on Stake.com Spain and England are the teams predicted to go to the final, both teams have a better winning percentage based on the available odds but yeah, that's just a prediction and we don't know what scenario will happen there. In regular time every match will probably end in a draw then the winner will be determined through extra time or a penalty shootout, imo.

[Sithara007]

England got a relatively easy semi-final compared to either Spain or France. I am 90% sure that the final is going to be between England and France. And it will be a great opportunity for England to make up for what happened during the last Euro Cup. During the final of Euro 2020, England was ahead in penalty shootout after 2 shots by 2-1. But then Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed consecutive penalty kicks and in the end Italy won by 3-2. Hopefully it will not repeat this time.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Looking at England's squad looks better but Switzerland's game statistics are much more consistent than England, because this is in the quarter-finals hopefully there will be an improvement where England's game is not easily bored to watch.

I hope to see a better England, who had a hard time getting through, if it weren't for Bellingham's goal they would be in bad form. For me these things have always been decisive, if you don't do it, you're done, and now England promises. I think England's style of play or strategy has to change, to be more offensive, because if they play the same way they can end up like Italy, who had a very good attack, only they attacked when they were losing and they were running out of time, so it's better to go all out from the start, it doesn't matter if they are very tired, when they are very tired they can close in on themselves to defend, but the result, the game, they have to go looking for it.

At this point I think that between England and Holland it will be very interesting, both teams for me are at the same level, it will be very good.

[Oluwa-btc]

The semi-final match will probably be very different to previous matches for France and Spain, but I don't think France has a higher chance of beating Spain if Luis De la Fuente has a special strategy when he can't play Pedri and Carvajal due to injuries and red cards. Spain have also been strong in defense so far, but without Carvajal I think things will be different.

I would say Carvajal is very important defender in Spain squad. Carvajal performed well against Germany. Carvajal made two important saves. He saved the Spain team from a guaranteed goal. Carvajal's presence was very visible throughout the match. At the same time, Pedri helped stabilize Spain's midfield. Without these two players, it will be difficult for Spain coach Fuente to keep Spain's performance stable.

France has a strong squad. However, considering the overall performance of these two teams in this year's Euro, I think Spain is stronger. The bonding between Spain's players is good and Fuente's match tactics are excellent. I consider Spain as favorite against France.

Who isn't important for them then? Dani Carvajal has experience in big games like this, especially playing for Real Madrid has been a good way to identify this. Both Laporte, Nacho Fernandez and also Marc Cucurrella all contributes to the success of that defense since this Competition kicked off. Pedri? Are we joking here? People who brings stability to that midfied would be Rodri and also Fabian Ruiz, when next you watch their games, make sure you see what these two do for that squad. I love how they bring balance, detect the game and also keep and maintain possession under pressure.

French has a solid defense, they should be be worried about what Spain would even do to them. In this Competition they're second to non right now. The Frenchmen, what they lack right now is a player who can create chances and pick up a quality pass for the strikers.

Ronaldo cannot be entirely blamed for Portugal elimination from the Euros, he has given his best at his no longer young age. It's true, only a few players his age are capable of playing at the top level, and so far we haven't heard any news about Ronaldo retirement plans.

It's time for Ronaldo opportunities for the younger generation, don't let his presence be seen as hampering regeneration in the Portuguese national team, he will remain one of the best and a legend.

The tells a whole lot about life. Do your best and don't expect too much from the world. Not even the legends before Cristiano Ronaldo could achieve what he has achieved for Portuguese National Team bit you should see the way they forget about all he has done for them honestly. Godspeed to him, and whatever that comes next. What I know is that, even in the next three decades, Portugal wouldn't not be able to get another Cristiano Ronaldo.

They have a dump coach who is poor at playing the long game, dis you-all see his substitute for that game against France? All of these half baked coaches should just go have a good vacation with them families. Failed to handle Belgium national team, the same now goes with Portugal. SMH!!
