Portugal - Germany has been the best match I've ever seen since the tournament started. I enjoyed watching every single minute of it. There were a completely different Germany this time. They were too far away from their poor performance against France. They totally destroyed Portugal 4-2 in this match. It was a well-deserved win for sure.

Right. Portugal defeated Hungary 3-0 with goals they found close to the last minutes. They could not play their own good game against Germany. Still, Cristiano Ronaldo has 1 goal and 1 assist statistics. Especially his assist was great. It was Ronaldo's own talent that turned the position into a goal. Most goals scored in this match in Euro 2020.
History crushed Portugal once more. Germany consistently defeat Portugal easily and can transform Ronaldo to a wounded and disappointed on that pitch. Portugal defense cost their game but Cristiano Ronaldo showed us an incredible presentation we have never seen. Could I say best match in the Euro so far?

Yes. Ronaldo was really great even though they lost to Germany. He put a really great effort into this game. The group is in a really interesting situation right now. Because every team have a chance for the first two places. I feel like France - Portugal will end in a draw and Germany will defeat Hungary in the last games.

The win for Germany was so vital, but now the group becomes exciting. As far as I know most of the groups' third finishers also advance to the final round right? Isn't it very likely that Germany would advance even if they tie against Hungary? With four points they should be among the few best third finishers who also are supposed to reach the next round. Anyway, if Germany can repeat what they did against Portugal, I don't think Hungary will be able to defend that for 90 minutes. But you never know as nobody expected France either to play 1 - 1 against Hungary.

Yeah, Hungary did a great thing against France by succeeding in getting one point. But I don't think that they can get even one point against Germany. Maybe they can hold Germany in the first half but not until the end.

Today I'll be focusing on Switzerland - Turkey: I think that the team that has the best chance of reaching the round of 16 is the selection coached by Vladimir Petkovic, even though Wednesday got smashed 3-0 by Italy.
Turkey, on the other hand, must ask for a miracle to qualify for the knockout phase. The scenario hoped for by Senol Gunes and his men is rather impossible: to beat Switzerland with a thundering 5-0, with the hope of becoming part of the four best thirds.

The real bet today is about Italy's clean sheet. I think my fellow Italians will be able to make it and I expect that those guys who still have not played will do their best to make another good impression to Mancini. For him, then, it will be a real challenge to select the best ones.
So, Italy should also bring home the last 3 points of the round.
Sorry Welsh friends, but that is going to be like that.

Interestingly, the coefficient for the victory of Italy is quite high - 1.51. This is probably due to the fact that they have already solved the problem of leaving the group and the bookmakers assume that in the last match there will be energy savings and therefore the Wales team has some chances.

No problem about that and also, I also believe Italy will still win with a clean sheet in this match. In the previous two games Italy looked like they could easily win with a clean sheet which made it a great achievement, which is very different to Wales. Even though Wales also continued to get points in the previous 2 matches, but it looks like these achievements are still not enough to stop Italy at this moment.

It looked offside on the first watching but there was a leg left from opposition player so all good and finally one VAR call I can endorse 100%.

I was really surprised with Germans scoring 4 goals against usually very solid Portuguese side. Granted 2 of those were own goals but it was achievement anyway. Why couldn't they score one more goal so at least our over 4.5 goals scored promo would be a winning one.

Yeah, I saw several other angles after my initial comment and yes, agree, VAR as it should be. No complaints. I honestly thought Germany would win that special for us. We wait another week as it is.

Germany were pressing very hard and that was very hard for Portugal defense to handle. Two own goals was the result of that. Germany today were totally superb and Portugal's defense were really clueless. Portugal attack was very good today but that wasn't enough for them to win the match.

More of that, please Germany, and this is what I wish more teams would do. Push for direct attacks, stop fiddling around with finding chinks in the armour, just bang on the goddamn doors and get own goals and penalties and corners haha.

Germany's been underestimated too much after the game against France and, in fact, one could never call the Germans out. That's a great team with amazing players, I bet they'll be in the final 4. Portugal now has difficult path going forward and I'm not sure they'll be able to go to the R16.
It's hard to count on points in a match when players score two goals into their gates, back in the first half. This is about terrible mistakes that make it impossible to win. I believe that in this match Portugal is guilty of defeat. And I'm not sure if Germany is in good shape right now, but the team is definitely very strong. So far, my favorite in the tournament is the French national team.

In order to advance to the next stage without any problems, the Portuguese team must beat the French national team. Hardly anyone believes this. But according to the format of the tournament, the 4 best teams (from third places) also advance to the next round. I will hope that Portugal will be one of these teams.

A superb performance by Germany yesterday, I really enjoyed that game. Portugal looked better in the 1st games so I bet on them, I thought it will be easy after the Germans gave them that easy opening goal early on.

They have so many options to choose from, players like Werner, Goretzka and Sane coming off the bench make them really dangerous in the late stages of the games.

I'm looking forward to that group's last games, France really made a mess out of the Hungary game so cannot take it easy against Portugal.

I was surprised to see France draw with Hungary. The Group of Death lived up to its name, France 1-0 Germany, Portugal 3-0 Hungary in the first round; In the second round, France played Hungary 1-1, Germany played Portugal 4-2. No team is out first,i can't wait for watching the third round.

since yesterday's match between spain and poland there is now a new youngest player who has ever been to play in euro's
Kacper Kozłowski from polish ekstraklasa club pogon szczecin

Perhaps the only record that Turkey will be able to take from the competition. Unless in this last group journey, some team remembers to get a junior to break the record.  Roll Eyes

It's actually quite funny to see that everyone in each group still has a chance to advance to the next round, since 4 numbers 3 of the 6 groups still go through. Then it is almost more difficult not to advance to the next stage, even Turkey can still qualify, but ok they need a big victory or at least a victory

I was surprised by Spain's draw with Poland yesterday and also with France's draw with
Hungary on Friday, so yes maybe when/if Spain and France get through the qualifiers
they will be a difference in performance.

I had France to beat Hungary yesterday so I was not happy with a draw.

For Todays matches I am betting on Italy for a win eventhough I would like to see Wales
progress through the qualifiers.

I dont know Switzerland or Turkey.

For many countries, the tournament really starts so that the group stage is over. I also get the idea that many teams still play with the brakes a bit, to save players and cards. Somehow understandable. in the eighth finals then we go wild, and maybe we will see a different Spain. Only Belgium, together with Germany, has made a good impression on me. Italy was not bad but not great either.
Turkey? they will not even advance to the next round.

Yes... Those two goals mentally devastated the team. On top of that, there were 2 own goals. Only Ronaldo continued to try to recover.
I think the coach also handled the game poorly, using the same team and tactics he had used with Hungary. With Germany it had to be different.
Now, if they want to pass, they will have to beat France. It will be difficult, but it all depends on how you approach the game tactically.




Today we have:

Group A: Italy vs Wales
Italia is guaranteed a ticket, it will be a good opportunity to make players change. Wales, he'll try to surprise, but he'll probably lose.


Group A: Switzerland vs Turkey
Switzerland will want to win, to try to pass the next stage. Torquia will want to win in order not to leave the Euro with only defeats. It will be an interesting game to watch. The result should be a tie or victory for Switzerland.
