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

[Justbillywitt]

 You can't keep hoping on luck to always come through for you. This stage of the competition, you need more tactical formation to be able to defeat your opponent. Right now, I don't think Southgate has any tactics he can boast of, and even though Netherlands aren't a match for them on a good day, but from what I've seen of Robert Koeman's boys, I'm certain England will need more than luck if they want to proceed to the finals.
 Netherlands have only suffered one defeat in this tournament and that was to Austria and they also have this fighting spirit and have come back from behind to win games like they did against Turkey and if anything can have a shot at beating England but I won't also want them to be too confident because the English can be tricky and take advantage when you least expect it.

Southgate's strategy is quite simple, he waits and is overly cautious until England concede, after which they begin to play more actively. Considering that the Netherlands is a more attacking team, I think everything will remain the same, England will defend more, perhaps until they concede first, but the defense of the Netherlands is also not the best, so I think both teams will score in this match. For some reason I doubt that the Netherlands will be able to beat England.

You are right about the Netherlands defense they easily conceede goals, but they have good offensive players that can are really scoring more goals than that of England. The number of goals that each team are able to score will be very vital here, it is what will determine who will qualify. That match won't end in penalty shootout. Netherlands scored two quick goals against Turkey, which was very impressive. This England team can't do that. This is a real test for England, Netherlands is going to come at them so quickly and try to get goals in the first half during which England use to be very sluggish with their play. Southgate need to come out openly and play the football. There is nothing to be cautious about anymore is either you win or go home. He has guided to the semi finals already, even if they exit at the stage people will say he has done well already by getting to this stage. So he need to come out of the shell and play the game. Netherlands is a determined side and for England to knock them out they have to be as hungry as the Netherlands.

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?🤔

[Arenga pinnata]

Spain really deserved to be the winner in this match. But I feel that the strengths of Germany and Spain are indeed quite equal. But in terms of pass accuracy and opportunity utilization, Spain is of course slightly superior. In the semi-finals Spain will face France. And I think it will be quite a difficult match even for Spain. Maybe France is not as productive as Spain. But I think France's defense has its own advantages. So the Spain vs France match will be fierce. But yes, Spain remains the favorite.

Whoever or whatever team wins is what they deserve. And Spain won that match so of course they deserved to win and advance further there. But honestly I hope Germany wins this match. But it turned out that the host could only go that far. And Spain they have been extraordinary even since the group stage. In the semi-finals, Spain will face Mbappe and his friends. And yes, I agree that France has some advantages in their back line. And actually their attack line is also quite good. It's just that France was not as good as expected in building attacks. Maybe in the semi-finals we will see Spain playing more carefully. And maybe there won't be many goals in that match. But I may not be able to decide which one will be my favorite.

For the Netherlands vs England match, I already have a team that I will favourite. Namely the Netherlands. In terms of depth, England's squad is superior, but I see how the Netherlands have progressed so far and they have always been able to produce very effective games. So I am quite confident with my choice this time.

Personally, it's the opposite, that is, it's difficult for me to decide which team will be my favorite in the Netherlands vs England match. because for me England and the Netherlands have almost the same performance. Their England is actually getting better in contrast to their performance in the group stage. It's just that I'm not sure whether they can win or not when they face the Netherlands. But so far England have always managed to progress further even though their performance is not as good as expected. but England is still progressing to this day. So I would probably prefer it if England won.

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

[Republikcoin.com]

France has a unique record at Euro 2024. So far France has only managed to score 3 goals throughout Euro 2024. Two goals through own goals and one goal through Mbappe. And that too through the penalty spot. This means that France advanced to the semifinals without ever scoring a single goal in open play. I think it will be a unique record if France wins Euro 2024. They have a very solid defense and this will be a challenge for Spain. But they don't have a good attack and Mbappe is not at his best. Spain can take advantage of France's weakness in scoring goals and maintaining their defensive line with discipline.

Spain will not find it so difficult to face France in the semifinals this time because Spain also has the best players with talent that has been quite visible during this Euro. This means that it is France who must be more alert because they will face Spain in the semifinals, not the other way around because Spain will definitely try harder to advance to the final of Euro 2024 so France must be more careful if they want to prevent Spain from advancing to the final of Euro 2024.

So I would probably prefer it if England won.

It's possible that England will also be favorites if Gareth Southgate can maximize the potential of the England squad. But I'm quite disappointed because I think up to now England are not at their best. because if they are really in the best condition then they should be able to become a team that is quite productive and has a sharp level of attack. I like the depth of the England squad but I might be disappointed with the way they play on the pitch. And I actually see that the Dutch have better self-confidence. So my choice remains the Netherlands. I like how Koeman maximizes every player's potential in the Dutch squad. And the Netherlands also has several variations of strategy that are quite difficult for opponents to predict. For example, in the match against Turkey, I felt that the Netherlands changed their strategy a little because I felt there was something different from the previous matches. And the Netherlands managed to beat Türkiye quite well. even though in the first half the Dutch were trailing by 1 goal. but in the second half the strategy used by the Dutch changed slightly and resulted in the Dutch succeeding in defeating Türkiye in the end.

[Pandorak]

[...]

Still a little upset of course seeing some attacks from Turkey in the last minute that should be a goal but it can't be done well to become a goal more precisely the Turkish players are still not in the right position or indeed the stronger Dutch defense that we saw in the last minute match between Turkey vs Netherlands.

At least it wasn't a boring match in the second half Turkey were much better even though they conceded two goals and they couldn't reply but when looking at the last minute as a spectator I was a little nervous why it didn't become a goal. Hahaha while this Dutch fan wanted to keep it 2-1. In the end the Netherlands went through.

I think Turkey's attacks and threats in the last minutes were very bad, in fact their finishing did not really threaten the Dutch goalkeeper, so it didn't result in a single goal to equalize the score. And also, in the first half i think Turkey played quite aggressively against Netherlands, but unfortunately of the six opportunities created, Turkey could only score 1 goal. I think this is an important lesson for Turkiye, not only for its team but also for its manager especially.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

We are in the stage before the final of the tournament. The Netherlands will play England and France will play Spain in the final. It isn't easy to make precise predictions at this stage. Because these 4 teams are good teams. But I, like the majority, expect a final between England and Spain and I think Spain will beat England in the final and win the trophy.

To tell the truth, before the tournament I saw France and England as the favorites, but Spain has played much better matches than them so far. I think they deserve this trophy. But there were many surprises in this tournament. I still don't have a definite prediction. Because the other 3 teams are also good teams.

[Polkeins]

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.

This was a tragedy for Germany in 119th minute stoppage time which was about to go to penalties, but Olmo's cross was good enough to be headed in by Mikel Merino this was a really unexpected goal the German defense here was caught off guard as they were more focused on attacking.
As the host must fall even though Germany is the favorite of the Champion.

Of course the German team is a pity, because unlike the French team, Germany at least scored from the game, but you have to give credit to the referee, who judged objectively enough and only once, just in the end as I think even helped the Spanish team, because a player of the Spanish national team played in the penalty box with his hand and the ball still changed the trajectory. I was afraid that the referee would be biased towards the Spanish team, but it turned out to be the opposite.
It seemed to me that both teams were already preparing for a penalty shootout, which was more favorable to the German team, but chance helped the Spaniards and they avoided a penalty shootout.

I think the Spanish national team is still the best team of the tournament and deserves to win it.

So the Spain vs France match will be fierce. But yes, Spain remains the favorite.

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.

spain - netherlands

It would be a great final game. Now if the two teams that arrived thanks to luck, I'm talking about France and England, go to the finals, we would have a very bad final game, France against England in a final will not be a game with many goals, it will be a game in which anyone of the teams will be champions thanks to luck

But if this happens then it is likely that the champion will be Spain because looking at the history that the Netherlands still cannot change at this time, no matter how good their performance is and no matter how strong the players they have in the end they are always runner-up specialists for state competitions.

It's just that it is also very good to expect this condition to occur because although the semi-finals are still not done but seeing the performance of England and France for this euro is actually quite monotonous and it would be better if Spain and the Netherlands are in the final which is a match that will present more interesting things I think.

However, looking at the current probabilities even though the performance of England and France is still very bad but the probability of them remaining strong to be in the final at the euro this time.

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



https://livescores.biz/h2h/england-vs-netherlands#european-championship

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.

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.

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.

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.

But there were many surprises in this tournament. I still don't have a definite prediction. Because the other 3 teams are also good teams.

I also thought that France and England were the favorites of the tournament and in general they reached the semifinals and confirmed their class, but France scored only 1 goal from the game, which is just humiliating for such a team with such a selection of players, where Mbappe plays. England is not better, but unlike France, Southgate's team still conceded and then compared the score and it was seen that England at least can add value and score a goal when it is necessary, then with France in general unclear situation. France is excellent in defense and does not concede, but it does not score.
So I agree with the fact that the Spanish national team still looks the clear favorite of all these 4 listed teams.

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.

[irsykes]

~Snip

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

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.

[snipie]

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.

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.

[As-Soon-As]

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.
