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.

It's true, it's a shame that the French front striker has had lots of chances to score goals but luck hasn't been on his side. France's defensive superiority will probably still be used against Spain with just a slight change in position. and the quality of the two countries is very good, Spain has a strong strategy and has good star players, I think Spain has great strength for the semi-final match. What Spain should be wary of is Straker Mbappe because of his good running speed and skills

The Netherlands are being underestimated in this game against England, I say this because the odds are not balanced, they are in England's favor because they are looking at the England squad, but when we look at the h2h involving these two teams, we have a scenario in which the Netherlands had more victories in games against England

That's why I see the Netherlands with a chance of reaching the final. and in the case of Spain against France, in the last 5 games in which both teams faced each other, Spain won in 3 games, France won in just 1 game and they drew in 1 game. So I see Spain as having a greater chance of also reaching the final. Now if Spain and the Netherlands reached the final, I see Spain being champions.

I can’t agree less with you mate, the Dutch’s have been very underrated throughout this tournament, even against Turkey they were not favourite to win the game but among all the other four participants they are the only ones that didn’t needed any extra 30 minutes to move pass any stage. They have been scoring freely with Spain the nation that has scored more than them among the last four. But let’s leave the scoring aside, their backline has been a joy to watch for me, they say defense wins you trophies and that’s one thing that’s leading the Dutch right now. I don’t think England will have this games easy if ask me.

England and Netherlands do not majorly meet a lot in international competitions if I am not mistaken those stats are from Friendlies which I don’t ever use to analyze my predictions. England under Southgate have been always poor in pre tournament matches but in the real tournament they have managed to learn how to win even if they play bad at times, that could be what might save them in this phase now against Netherlands

Spain played better than France so far and might play better in their direct match at semi final stage but at this stage and with knock out format, playing better or not is not important. The key is you need to win a match and come closer to win a competition. France with their performances so far don't care much about impression and result is what they care most.

I don’t think there is any nation that actually plays better than Spain, they deserved this place. But right now against a team and coach that has played in the last two World Cup finals it will take more than just playing good to win against this team. They might setup a team to frustrate Spain from playing their usual beautiful football. I think Spain might have to twerk their playing style a little bit to compete with the French team

[Adiljutt156]

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.

Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0. I am very impressed by the players of Netherland because I didn't expect that kind of performance from Netherland team . Netherland team won due to unity and great performance of their players. The stat of Netherland team was osum and they kicked strongly and  the passes of Netherland team was more and efficient and now Netherland Football team qualified for semi final and I congratulate to Netherland team to qualify for Semi final but I think Netherland will face difficulty in Semi final and opponent team could perform well from Netherland team and Netherland team will not qualify for final.

Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0.

The game ended 2 - 1 for Netherlands. In fact, Turkiye scored the first goal in the first half but they couldn't keep up with Netherlands which beat them by two goals later in the second half. Anyway, Netherlands are better than Turkiye and the latter team advanced well in this competition.

[Dickiy]

Spain will remain the favorite team when they face France, especially since their level of confidence is getting bigger after successfully getting rid of Germany. The way they played when they beat Germany was very classy, ​​the Spanish squad this time showed something different from before. Even though the core squad contains many young, inexperienced players, their presence actually makes Spain stronger. France will have difficulty facing Spain, I think Germany's defense is stronger than France, the Spanish players will try to open the French defense area to score goals.

The French national team should not be underestimated, they can start scoring in any match, I don’t want to say that they waited the whole tournament to start playing only in the match with Spain, but I don’t understand why a team with such potential in attack plays so poorly. Although it is worth noting that we are only talking about their attack, since they are very good in defense. And if France plays just as well in defense and takes the match to penalties, then they can hope for luck again.

yes, it's true, this is the semifinals, all the teams that qualify for the semi-finals are good teams, and it should be noted that all the teams that qualify are top teams, all teams have the potential to win the Euro this year, there will definitely be surprises on the field at next match, even though in this year's Euro championship many people are favoring Spain, because it is not without reason that if you look at Spain's matches from qualifying to the semifinals, they are playing very consistently with their young players, Spain will be a serious threat in the world cup later,
On the other hand, France have not found their game. Every match they have played, their game has not been consistent, who knows what is wrong, their game seems to be declining, unlike the 2016 Euro, on paper, Spain will be superior and it is very likely that France will rely on a quick counterattack because If playing a Spanish game will be difficult, we know that Spain relies on controlling the ball with its tiki-taka style.
But it looks like Spain won't let the match continue until the penalty shootout, if that happens it's possible that France will be at an advantage.

Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0.

The game ended 2 - 1 for Netherlands. In fact, Turkiye scored the first goal in the first half but they couldn't keep up with Netherlands which beat them by two goals later in the second half. Anyway, Netherlands are better than Turkiye and the latter team advanced well in this competition.

But sorry for your team, because they started well but did not perform well in the end. But later the Netherlands team went ahead with two goals, but in comparison, the Netherlands team has much stronger and experienced players. But toor ki team has come in performance recently for the present time, but according to the experience of these two teams, the Netherlands team is particularly strong and played enough to win.

This match is not going to be easy for both teams and we can not be confident to decide which team will be victorious. I must acknowledge the strength of both teams and their strategies. Without doubt, it's going to be an entertaining game and the best among them will definitely win. France can actually boast of their classical defense and speedy attacking Mbappe but Spain on the other hand too have one of the most convincing midfield that they normally use to destabilize the opponent pattern of play. Judging from the recent performance of both teams, France has a slight chance of winning that game if they should play with maximum commitment. Spanish team can not be underrated but the squad is full of young stars who can not withstand the pressure for long. However, anything is capable of happening in football and Spain will likely win if the game ends up in a penalty shootout.

And if France plays just as well in defense and takes the match to penalties, then they can hope for luck again.

The outcome of that match will certainly surprise everybody because it seems most people are seriously looking down on the French team and I don't even know the reason why they believe that Spain could easily win France, however they need to realize that France has some quality players like Mbappe, Giroud, Dembele and so many other players and currently Dembele and Mbappe has been on a serious force this season, however Dembele is actually the kind of player everyone would loved to watch, I could even remember his performance during there match against Portugal how consistent he was and he is actually one of the player that contributed so such on the progress of France on this season, so let's not underestimate any club because the both team has a good players.

If the referee had been fair, Turkey would not have lost. There was a clear red card that should have been given to Holland but it wasn't.
There was a foul on the second goal but it was not given.
Why is the VAR system not used or why was the VAR system brought to this football?

[Sexylizzy2813]

In this tournament I noticed that many stars who did pretty well in their various clubs haven't lived up to expectations and their performance are nothing to write home about. We go to England and we see countless number of them who are playing nothing close to what they did in their club side like Foden, Kane and the rest of them but let's talk about the France national team where we have the mask man Kylian Mbappé Lottin, he has been struggling with form in this tournament with one goal taken from the penalty spot and you'd agree with me that the injury he sustained in the first game of the tournament played a big role on his performance and I believe is weighing the team down.
Going against Spain I think he should be dropped because they need to be ready with what the Spanish side are coming with, since they always sees him (Mbappe) as the target man it would be nice to drop him and start off Oliver Giroud in that game tomorrow and bring him on later in the second half by then he will use his strength and speed against the already tired Spanish defense but if he starts they (Spain) will be ready to run with him at all cost. I feel that alone can help France to get something, Mbappe shouldn't be on the line up. Whats your feel about this, Mbappe or no Mbappe on the starting 11?🤔

The France is not very good this year, I do not like their game at all. They will probably lose the match against Spain in the next match. Spain is currently the most effective team in the championship, I like them both in defense and attack.
Should Mbappe be on the field? Of course he has to play and do something for his team. It wouldn't be a lie to say that he hasn't scored a goal yet in this championship, this was definitely not what the team expected from him. A world star football player should be able to score many goals in such championships

But he hasn't been effective and I would hate if he'll be the one that would make France miss an opportunity of getting into the final chapter of this competition. Sometimes is best to take a certain risk in a team rather than go for what people want and that's the problem of Southgate since the beginning of this competition, dropping his best 11 which we all know haven't done anything impressive but the guys on the bench can do better and he is neglecting it. So in the France national team the coach need to take the risk of dropping Mbappe for some minutes against Spain, he can make a difference from whenever he comes in, to me I don't need him to even score goals but make sure his presence is been felt by the opponent but you and I know he hasn't done that.

[Spaceman1000$]

Spain against France will be another repeat of what happened between Spain and Germany in the Quarter Finals of this very campaign. The France national team is about to face one of the greatest test of their stay in this competition and we know how Spain gets the ball so wide when they're going for a counter without a single player not getting in the mix, it will be hard for the France side to get their marking too close to the wingers and midfielders of Spain from how I have seen them (France) play, it will make Kante to be more stressed out that's if they let him do more of the marking tomorrow.
The France national team need to make use of the pitch not playing a one sided game if not they'll pay for it, Mbappe shouldn't be the only target and Dembele shouldn't waste more chances in this encounter and if that happens the Spanish players will capitalize on them and it will be more dangerous if Spain takes the lead but one thing is sure, a draw can happen if the France side keep it calm, IMO France they can't beat Spain even if it goes on to extra time.

In the match between Spain and Germany, of course we can see the fierce competition between them and of course it is a matter of pride for Spain to be able to beat Germany. So it is certain that in the match between Spain and France in the semifinals, it is true that Spain against France will have the potential for tight competition and there will be a repeat of the tight competition as in the match between Spain and Germany.

However, it is true that it looks like France will face a big test because it is true that Spain has extraordinary strength and of course France will have the potential to find it difficult to win against Spain in the next match. but of course we won't know what happened, but what is clear is that the potential for victory is on the Spanish side.

but sometimes the results of matches are always difficult to predict, but I'm sure Deschamps will use a good strategy, but it looks like there is potential in that match there will be a penalty shootout, but I'm sure the potential is slim because if you look at the current Spanish squad, of course there is no doubt that Spain has potential. big win. but I predict 2-0 for Spain to win.

It can't be as hot as we saw in the encounter between them and Germany because this is a one shot to the finals and both them need to be mindful of any silly mistakes, where we have much if the attacking without anyone relenting at any cost. One thing about Spain is that they have never for ones underestimate any of their opponents in this tournament and we see them as a team who can go and play even if is 1 goal to nil they give out their 100% best to even make the game much more interesting to the fans, they in a good shape and seeing them in the finals would be great I must say.
This is not going to be an easy one for the France coach to decide on who to play ahead of who, because he is going against one of the best in this competition and he only have to go with his regular starters in this encounter I must say, anything that happens I won't blame him but anything can happen, thisbis football and your prediction of Spain 2-0 France might turn out to be a 1-1 draw😁.

I agree with you that the game between Spain and France will not be tough as that of Spain and Germany. The France team I've seen so far play have not strike me like a team to be too aggressive with their Frontliners like the Spanish team especially the likes of lamine yamal and Nico Williams. Spain plays the kind of football I call die hard football, they consistently put pressure on you till they eventually win you, and that was exactly the same thing they did against Germany. I see it that, Spain are the favourites to win that encounter against France.

Deciding who to play as against who has been one of the major issues affecting both France and England because of the number of big names they have in reserve. the problem of selecting players that will even come for the tournament was even an issue for France as they dropped a lot of their good players and where able to come up with this near flop team they came with.

[el kaka22]

Semi finals does look good, well at least one of them. Spain vs France will be a very tough one and I honestly think that would be an early-finals type of game where the winner will be the one who will get the title eventually as well. Don't get me wrong neither Netherlands nor England is that bad, and I think that should not be something that will take a while, but we need to remember that we can't have it any other way.

We need to remember that things aren't simple for England in this tournament, they do not look that great and for some reason Netherland players do not play as well as they do at their clubs neither. France had a lot of fire as well, they haven't scored a single goal on live play, one was penalty and two was own goal from other team which a lot of people talk about as well. So I think we should remember that we are going to probably see them not do as well as they hope they can, which will be an issue, it is not going to be that simple.

[Palakka]

The outcome of that match will certainly surprise everybody because it seems most people are seriously looking down on the French team and I don't even know the reason why they believe that Spain could easily win France, however they need to realize that France has some quality players like Mbappe, Giroud, Dembele and so many other players and currently Dembele and Mbappe has been on a serious force this season, however Dembele is actually the kind of player everyone would loved to watch, I could even remember his performance during there match against Portugal how consistent he was and he is actually one of the player that contributed so such on the progress of France on this season, so let's not underestimate any club because the both team has a good players.

All of us of course have different predictions and estimates regarding the outcome of the match between France and Spain later, the two teams will meet in the semifinals and as two big teams of course it is difficult for us to guess who will win in that match, when you having full confidence in France, of course you have strong reasons to support France in the semifinals later, but right now I personally have confidence in Spain ability to be able to beat France in the match, France of course has many star and experienced players in their squad so far, but if you look at France performance so far, can you give me one match that France played very impressively?

As far as I have seen all the matches played by France and Spain at the Euro, in my opinion the appearance and performance of Spain is much better even though they rely on the majority of young players in their squad, the balance of the team both in defense and attack of course the main factor that makes Spain is a strong candidate to win at Euro 2024, Spain is able to appear impressive and often tests their mentality in every match, so that they are quite worthy of being favored compared to France who only won by scoring goals through penalties and also own goals from opposing players .

Among the remaining countries in the Euro competition, I would say that the strongest of them is Spain. Connection after Spain I can count in England even before France. France has not done their best in this Euro but they were very much accompanied by luck in this competition. Even England is better than France in this competition because they have been able to score some crucial goals. But this does not mean that the meeting between France and Spain will not be as tough as a final.

In my analysis, I will say England and Spain may be in the finals but things can also change but that's my prediction.

[JeffBrad12]

Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0.

The game ended 2 - 1 for Netherlands. In fact, Turkiye scored the first goal in the first half but they couldn't keep up with Netherlands which beat them by two goals later in the second half. Anyway, Netherlands are better than Turkiye and the latter team advanced well in this competition.

A very entertaining game from turkiye and netherland. Turkey played perfectly in the first half. But, it's strange to see how their coach changed their strategy at the second half. I was aware when turkiye played more defensively at the second half. Turkey tried to defend its lead by switching to a more defensive strategy in the second half. But, it backfired. The decision to switch to defense was so bad. It helped netherland to explore the vulnerability owned by turkiye, then netherland scored two goals at the second half.

I thought the result might be different if Turkiye didn't change its strategy at halftime. They should have given more pressure. Instead, they changed to play passively in the second half. All in all, the decision by turkiye's coach to changed its strategy at the secodn half cost them a place in the semi final.

[Woodie]

The thing about such tournaments is that it's used as a platform to sell yourself to potential prospects and usually less known players will overshadow the big guns as they try to get potential sells to other clubs!

Another reason the big names aren't living up to their names is because everyone knows what they are capable of and defenders assignments are to stop them at all cost, and it's proving to work!!

Other reasons could be possibly to do with players being afraid of getting injured knowing very well their clubs pay better , hence a reserved approach to the game, but one thing is for sure...they don't make them like they did back in the day!

[Phu Juck]

Spain vs France will be a great game from which team we have several high quality players and it will be a great head to head game.
I expect Spain to play a very safe ball by trying to control offense and defense and France to try a few tricky plays from a fast Mbappe when France has ball gains and tries to play it out quickly by Mbappe. Probably, we will see overtime and a penalty shootout once again for France vs. Spain.

[Out of mind]

Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0.

The game ended 2 - 1 for Netherlands. In fact, Turkiye scored the first goal in the first half but they couldn't keep up with Netherlands which beat them by two goals later in the second half. Anyway, Netherlands are better than Turkiye and the latter team advanced well in this competition.

In the game, though, I would say the Turkish team performed very well, and they conceded a goal in the first half. But when the Netherlands leveled the game later, there was a lot of attacking going on between the two teams where the Dutch team got more excited. But unfortunately, the Turkish player lost by scoring a goal against the Dutch attack. Had it not been for the match it would have been a more interesting game between the two teams, however with England coming up against them later in the match it would be more competitive.

[dzungmobile]

Spain has a drama starts by their captain, Alvaro Morata.

He threatens to QUIT after the tournament over 'nonsense' critics - and hints his family want to leave the country too.

Is it a true drama or a boycott from Spain to mislead England preparation before the important semi final match?

I feel it's hard to believe that a captain can do this before an important match. Alvaro Morata is not a world class striker for many years and in Euro 2024, he is given the captain band maybe because he has more experience than many young players in Spain squad for Euro 2024.

[GxSTxV]

With good defense system, France has a good foundation for their defensive prioritizing approach and can beat Spain in the semi final with an OG from Spanish player or beat Spain through penalties. Spain has Unai Simon, a good goalkeeper for penalties but to win it, they need their players shot well too. French players shown that they were well prepared for penalties and did it with high confidence.

Why do I feel like everyone is expecting that Spain against France match will lead to extra times, many people and analysts are saying the game will be very closed from both sides and we won’t see any opportunities of scoring. Personally, I would say that one of the teams will score very early and the match will become very open for both teams to score.
Both teams have strong defense, beside tricky attacking gameplay.

If I would bet on this match, my money will go to Spain for having a better organized team this year, young players with good speed and skills to beat France. Mbapee camarades are not in shape for defending against Spain. So I prefer taking the risk of betting on Spain with good outcome than France that I would say have more chances in penalties.
