A really good France performance yesterday. I felt that they should have been given a penalty as well for that Hummels - Mbappe clash but the french team defended really well at the end.
Benzema is a great addition to the team, he really helps them build and he's really good in defending from the front too.
Regarding today - I feel that Russia will beat Finland easily. Finland really played badly against Denmark and were really lucky, Russia is playing at home and need this win. They weren't really good against Belgium but I feel they are a much better team than Finland.

That was a very disappointing performance by the German team. Although they had more possession, they didn't take advantage of it. France had many nice and fast moves. Germany lacked those. The next game will be tough.

I wouldn't be so sure that Russia would win, but the statistics of meetings between Finland and Russia are not in favor of the Finns... Personally, I will refrain from predicting this game...
I am more interested in how Turkey and Wales will play... I think the Turks can win this game, especially after the defeat of Italy!
I'm just convincing myself for Russia because I'm not really sure Russia will win either, it's just the situation that I think Russia can make the most of this moment. Russia basically benefits from playing at home, it's just that in the first match the opponent is Belgium which of course makes Russia difficult. Although indeed, Finland cannot be underestimated but once again I believe this situation will give Russia more chances to win. The other two games, of course I also believe about Turkey and Italy. I am more interested in how Turkey and Wales will play... I think the Turks can win this game, especially after the defeat of Italy!

Indeed, today we have some very interesting matches. In my opinion, all three games will be quite close. In particular, the Russia vs. Finland match is likely to be a hard-fought game, with Russia coming out on top in the end. The Turkey vs. Wales match also promises to be a tense one, with Turkey needing to make up for their 0-3 defeat on matchday one against Italy. Switzerland is also under a lot of pressure against Italy, having only managed a draw against Wales in the first matchday. Nevertheless I think Italy will prevail in the end and win 2-1.
That's why I would go with the following bets:
Group A: Turkey vs Wales 2:1
Group A: Italy vs Switzerland 2:1
Group B: Finland vs Russia 0:1

Finland vs Russia，i guess Russia will win， Russia lost their last game to the mighty Belgium, Russia must win tonight.
Turkey vs Wales，a close game，0:0.
Italy vs Switzerland，i am totally agree with you.
Turkey vs Wales，a close game，0:0.
Italy vs Switzerland，i am totally agree with you.
Finland vs Russia is unpredictable and it is the most important match today. If somehow Finland can manage a win, that means that Denmark doesn't qualify to the knockout phase (unless they can beat Belgium, which is near impossible). Regrading the other two matches, they don't have much significance. If Wales win today, then they have a chance of advancing to the next stage. Turkey's chances are very slim after their heavy defeat in the first match. Italy already has 3 points, so they are in a very comfortable position.

Group B: Finland vs Russia
I see this game end in a draw. Russia is not in a good moment.
Group A: Turkey vs Wales
Turkey is expected to win. Wales is unlikely to have enough arguments to win.
Group A: Italy vs Switzerland
I believe it will be another easy game for Italy. It remains to be seen how many goals he will win.

What you guys think about the Finland vs Russia clash today? Russia went down by a big margin to Belgium in the first match (it was expected though, and Belgium is currently no.1 as per the FIFA rankings). On the other hand, Finland had an upset win over Denmark in their first match. If they manage a win today, then they will advance to the playoffs and things will get very difficult for Denmark (they need to beat Belgium). As of now, it looks like Russia will end up at the bottom of Group B.
I think Belgium will win its game against Denmark. I think that the shock of the Danes in the first match will lead to their elimination either already in the group stage or shortly after.
In the game Russia vs. Finland, I see Russia clearly better. They lost heavily against Belgium, but they still played better than Finland against Denmark. Finland was until the event with Eriksen, clearly dominant and would certainly have won the game. After the restart, Finland had taken advantage of the state of the Danes and won the game narrowly. Playfully, however, the Finns have not convinced me.

Finland won the first match. Which was very unexpected. I did not think Denmark would be defeated. If Eriksen's case had not happened, perhaps Denmark would have won. The next match is very important for Denmark. If they lose to Belgium, the road to the next round in Finland will be much easier. My prediction is that Finland will be able to beat Russia today.
At least on paper, Russia is stronger. If Finland manages at least one point today, their chances of advancing to the knockout phase would brighten. In that case, they will have 4 points from 2 games. Denmark has one game against Belgium remaining (and they have lost their first match). So I don't expect them to make more than 4 points max (for the game against Belgium, I would give them 1 point at the most). Right now, Finland and Belgium looks like the teams that may advance to the knockout phase from this group.

Germany was really predictable yesterday and this was why they lost the game.They try to play only on the right wing with Kimich and France already knew that every ball will played that way so they used two people against Kimich and didn't let Germany do more.The left wing was almost non existent in the field and also Germany relied heavily on their goalkeeper which we all know is good but the goalkeeper can't save you forever.Anyway congratulations to France as they are one of the strongest contenders to the title.

Jeez! Kylan Mbappe just got his goal cancelled for an offside.
Benzema got his goal disallowed due to offside as well. It could have been worse for Germany
Germany had more ball possesion but that was mostly in areas that were not really dangerous to france.
I'd say Germany control the flow of the game especially in the midfield aread but France was solid in defending so almost nothing gets past through it. Obviously this is the case when you have Kante on your team, we have seen how good this guy is in Chelsea defending the midfield line . On top of that there is also Pogba and Rabiot in the midfield so yeah , its going to be a pretty solid line
Yeah. Despite Germany having more possession of the ball during the match, France acted impenetrably, similar to their play at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when they won gold.
France while being able to contain Germany defensively they were able to break
through Germany a number of times to create some great scoring chances obviously
leading to two disallowed goals.
The trio up front for France Mbappe, Benzema, Giezmann were very effective at breaking
through the germans.
Looking forward to France v Portugal!
I'm backing 2 favourites today, Russia v Finland and Italy v Switzerland

Portugal's victory I think is quite surprising because I only predict maybe Portugal will only win with a gap of 1 or 2 goals, but Ronaldo made it win by 3-0 and it was a big win I think and a good capital to maintain his position at the top. Because in group F this is a hell group, so winning big is a very good capital because if later there are calculations of goal difference, winning big is a target that must be achieved as well.

Belgium coach roberto martinez's main goal is to bring the country its first international title. The unbeaten record against Russia in the last seven matches also adds to the confidence russian coach stanislas cherchesov's primary goal is to finish second in the group and reach the knock-out stage after that to prepare for the next fight. Russia coach stanislas cherchesov is relying on his team for good results but belgium will go further.

If we look at ball possession, of course Germany is superior to France in tonight's match, and the game tactics carried out by the German team really succeeded in shutting down the flow of the ball between French players and even France only had 4 kicks with only 1 shot on target towards the German goal, in my opinion tonight France played more reactive in the game, even though in the previous few matches France was more aggressive in facing other teams, but in tonight's match even France did not press tight when they lost the ball, but whatever strategy used by France tonight was very successful in suppressing the hard game from Germany, I'm sure that tonight Mats Hummels is sad about his own goal and this is not Mats Hummel fault because he did his best to throw the ball away but unfortunately the ball went into the net own goal.
Germany was not the same since the last Euro I think it was a reasonable match results between them two France deserved the 3 points and . Frankly, Pogba made a great match, especially in his distinguished passes behind the German defenses and down the sides, and he was one of the reasons for the only goal in the match. On the other hand, the Germans started well, but they paid a great price because of the spaces behind their backs, with no explicit striker or even a front crew capable of creating and scoring opportunities.
France's transformations were excellent, Pogba's passes, Kante's strength, Griezmann, Mbappe and Benzema's breakthroughs, so the superiority was strongly present.
