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.

Big match, I'm actually looking forward to Portugal. But Germany really played well.
I think Germany have improved and they deserved to win. Just look at their stats 12 shots. Germany controlled their match making it difficult for Portugal to get out of the pressure.
Look Serge, Kimmich, Robin Gosens, Rüdiger and Kai Havertz they played very well, I admit Germany are superior to Portugal. Moreover, they have to win to open the chance to advance to the knockout stages. It's very interesting that only France has never lost.

Italy, Belgium, and Netherlands make the clean sheet the winning and it is certain that they will advance to the next round with perfect. We have to wait for the surprised who go home in the group E and F, Portugal, Spain, Germany, France, all have the chance. Ronaldo still the best at creating the goal with a top score, at the moment he has created 19 goals (world cup and Euro) it's the same as what Miroslav Klose close did.

Italy vs wales today, I think Italy will not get the problem creating the winning.


Italy, Netherlands and Belgium secured the next round. With Hungary's draw with France, France left their chance to advance to the last game. The scoreboard of group F is open to all possibilities. Hungary also has a chance to qualifiy the group. If they can beat Germany in their last match, they will pass the group. It is not easy to beat Germany.  They beat Portugal 4-2 with a superior game yesterday.

Italy, Belgium and Netherlands are very strong in this Euro. Portugal, Spain, Germany and France can be out of Euro and we can only know what teams will go next in the final days of their groups.

UEFA, along with CONMEBOL are the strongest federations as far as football is concerned. Even in CONMEBOL, we had a few upsets recently in the Copa America tournament. And the same can be expected for the Euro Cup as well. The way they split teams in to various groups have been crazy. We have France, Germany and Portugal in Group F (the other team is Hungary). How can they place three of the strongest teams in the same group? Compared to this, Spain had relatively easy opponents. And yet they have only two points from two matches.

It is too strange to see Portugal got 2 conceded goals in only 4 minutes. Those og goals changed the match and Portugal collapsed after that. The goal of Ronaldo is simple but I am impressed with his mentality, he tried to run as fast as possible and look at his age, that moment is amazing. That moment reminds me the goal he scored against Arsenal in Champions League when he played for Manchester United.

Italy can win but a draw is enough for them to end with the first position. The main thing for them is to avoid suspension or injury, not a win.

Until now I put France and Italy in the same level followed up by the teams you mentioned except Spain (Spain x2 BTW in the text) which I want to see how it will perform against Poland first.

Changing my tier list after the turn 2 has been completed.
I can't put Italy at the same as France since they are the champions, the favorite and they have so much potential but...

TIER S France

TIER A Italy Belgium

TIER B Spain Germany England Nederlands

Atleast until now.

Spain and Germany at the same tier? I think Germany should be in Tier A after today's performance.

I would put France and Italy - Belgium at same tier though. Italy and Belgium look better than France now after second games.

And Spain - Poland game has ended 1-1. I should say that I'm really surprised with this result. After drawing with Sweden 0-0, I'd expect a win from Spain in this game. But Poland did a really good job here. Lewandowski scored their goal as many people can predict easily as well.  Grin
such a disappointment from Spain national team, another draw and this time they were leading with one goal but they couldn't at least keep it that way, now they're in a spot where they have to win their next match against Slovakia, i believe they can do it.

Germany 4-2 Portugal , I expected this result to be Germany is a very strong team, they won the recent world cup  , Germany gave France a win with an own goal and today leading Portugal with two own goals before half time . What a great team germany , good attacking football.  i hope they will win the cup , tomorrow there are also some important matches, such as Italy

Another not inspiring game of Spain.
Spain will not go so far in this competition imo even if it managed to pass the group stage.. I would say the whole group (E) isn't promising.
Now Germany winning 4 - 2 vs Portugal (2 - 4 isn't false too) is something unexpectedly good. Now that is a group (F) that every single team on it (/Hungary) deserves to be a champion Wink

I remember they had a similar situation in one tournament, but I cannot recall exactly which one it was, but they won it. Quite weak during the group stage, was very close and then they dominated the final rounds one after another. Spain is too strong to not be considered at least a secret favorite, but that does't nearly reflect the truth. They are strong enough to win it.

I checked the bookies and the odds were so crazy for Spain against Poland. Spain was a favorite by a hundred miles as per the bookies, which surprised me a little after they only tied against Sweden. This Championship is already producing some surprises like France playing 1 - 1 against Hungary, and even Portugal being destroyed by Germany today. I didn't expect that even though Germany was the favorite. I thought Portugal could play it smart and hurt Germany with many more counter attacks, but Germany allowed them hardly to breath. With this performance today Germany takes on a small role as a favorite if they can repeat this performance against Hungary.

Spain is one team that have got all it takes to actually have this competition in the bag but somehow, they always gets to make things look bad.

Its kinda an overestimation imo. Spain is a great team and have what it takes to atleast get through to the group stage easily especially when they are the only power house team in Group E. They are great but it will takes an extra effort to win the Euro, France, Italy, Netherlands and probably Belgiumare still one of the favourites to win the Euro right now imo

Even if somehow, they will manage to qualify ( I still have doubts they can beat Slovakia )

Imagine if the worst case scenario happens Grin . The worst case scenario would be, Spain fails to get 3 points from Slovakia and Poland wins against Sweden. That would put the points into 4-4-4-3 lol

For me Poland really deserved to take the draw today because let's be honest, Spain really doesn't have a great squad for this Euro that could reach the semi-finals or even the quarter-finals. Even if somehow, they will manage to qualify ( I still have doubts they can beat Slovakia ) but if they qualify they will meet England and honestly, they don't stand a chance.

Portugal - Germany is the game of the tournament so far with 6 goals and a huge comeback from 1-0 to 1-4. I don't know what happened with Portugal midfielders but they had a terrible game.

The German team were very impressive right from the beginning of the match firing with all cylinders taking all the possessions, they really deserve the win, while the Portuguese team rely on counterattacks with Ronald and Diego Jota as the point men unfortunately things didn't work for them, non of the team is sure of qualifying yet after France played  a one all drew earlier today against the group underdogs Hungary.
I expected a goal fest and it was a goal fest and Germany played really well even though Ronaldo scored the first goal things were not in favor after that as we saw two own goals and it was unlucky for them to be in a position like that to see two own goals and it shows the pressure Germany was able to deliver.

Another surprise was that Poland was able to draw the match against Spain, i did not expect this to be a high scoring match but i thought Spain will be able to win the match but Robert Lewandowski had other plans  Grin.

So far Spain results raise some question about Enrique squad selection.
Personally, I am happy with how poorly Spain are performing. I just hope they get knocked out early in the group stages  Grin
How Luis Enrique left out some players who are very influential, legendary and natural team leaders Like Sergio Ramos is beyond my understanding
Maybe next time he will learn to use his brain when selecting players and not emotions.
I wonder what words would have been heard in the address of the Spanish national team if Gerard Moreno still scored his penalty or Alvaro Morata would have hit the goal when finishing off? Grin I agree that not calling Luis Enrique to the Spanish national team Sergio Ramos is not the right thing to do, given the always exorbitant attitude to the fight and the authority in the team of Ramos. All these exorbitant numbers of possession during the match can be smashed to smithereens by successful counterattacks of the opponent and the Spanish national team does not yet give the impression of a team that can constantly transform this possession into goals and victories.

Two very important games were played today Portugal Vs Germany and Spain Vs Poland with that of Portuguese Germany fixture being the most anticipated watch. Well, it ended rather disappointing fir Portugal,  I kind of hoped for more but, the team wasn't very supportive of Ronaldo and one man can't make a team, he could only do as much as he could do but then, when faced with a top team like Germany, its very challenging to scale through unhurt. As it is now, Portugal was hurt. 4 goals was the height of it though, they were able to cancel off 2 goals.
Spain will not go so far in this competition imo even if it managed to pass the group stage.. I would say the whole group (E) isn't promising.
