I agree with you, I think Netherlands will be able to beat Romania because of the difference in level and power between the two teams. Romania did get very good results against Ukraine in the group phase, but they didn't really dominate the game, even though they were able to win with a landslide score of 3-0. So I think their victory was not due to the good rhythm of their game, but because they were able to maximize every opportunity they had.

Meanwhile, Netherlands were not very convincing in the group phase, but somehow I feel that they are still a strong team, and I guess they will play better than their previous match.

There is no doubt that Portugal's squad is very strong this season. And I agree with you that even though Portugal's squad consists of a lot of talented players, they can't score goals. In the match against Turkiye, we saw the great dominance of Portugal. Portugal won the match 3-0.

Ronaldo, Bruno, Silva, Leao, Dias and Pepe are all very experienced players in Portugal's squad. With this strong squad, Portugal will play against France in the next match. France's squad is also very strong but the team is not able to perform well in this year's Euro. Therefore, the match between France and Portugal is expected to be very competitive. Both teams have strong attacking units.

There are no easy matches in the round of 16 because all teams have the same goal, each team will play more carefully by maintaining a stronger defense to prevent conceding goals from the opposing team. Scoring goals is the most difficult mission to complete because each team played very solidly, the Portugal vs Slovenia match had to end in a penalty shootout because both teams were unable to score a goal. France also had to fight hard to find victory, the only goal that took them to the quarter-finals was Jan Vertonghen own goal.

Regarding the Austria vs Türkiye match, perhaps the results are not much different from what happened in the previous two matches. There weren't many goals in this match, or they had to be ready to continue the match for 120 minutes. I prefer Turkey as the team that will qualify for the next round, but Austria cannot be underestimated either because they can beat the Netherlands and Poland easily.

This moment really brought quite a high emotional atmosphere. Because it is very rare to see Cristiano Ronaldo fail to take advantage of a penalty kick. But that doesn't mean he never fails to take advantage of a penalty kick. Because in the past or several years ago Cristiano Ronaldo also failed. If I remember correctly it was when he was still at Manchester United. But yesterday's moment was the most emotional. Because it comes at a very important time. But I like the attitude of Cristiano Ronaldo who actually took on a more tense challenge by being the first to take a penalty in the penalty shootout. And yeah then he managed to do it there.

There are several media who are quite often the ones who criticize Cristiano Ronaldo and that is also normal. because news about Cristiano Ronaldo is always what readers are most interested in. So presenting controversy can be an advantage for a party.

Diogo Costa is now truly a trending topic in any sports media. And yes, he was a true hero in the Portugal vs Slovenia match yesterday. The transfer value will definitely increase rapidly. And what's more, with his still relatively young age, he will definitely be the target of many other clubs at this time. So Porto must be prepared for this.

The Netherlands vs Romania match is going to start shortly. If there is no mishap in this match, Netherlands looks to win easily. Romania did not face any strong teams in the group stage matches. The Romanian team was defeated 2-0 in the match against Belgium. The Romanian team is not a very strong team. .

Although the performance of the Netherlands has been somewhat erratic, this team is strong. Depay, Gakpo, Van Dijk and AKe are all experienced players for the Netherlands, capable of defeating Romania. However, the performance of the attacking players of the Netherlands is somewhat weak. Today the forward players have to try to perform better.

Before Ronaldo missed a penalty yesterday, when was the last time we saw him miss a penalty? It feels very rare or even doesn't happen because he is always successful, but in the match against Slovenia it wasn't because Ronaldo performed badly but because Oblak was on fire and is one of the best players in the world. So regarding missed penalties, we used Ronaldo because to be honest, not all players have the mental strength to execute penalties. Ronaldo sadness was indeed felt by those of us who watched from afar on television. How could he not cry because Ronaldo saw the sad face of his mother who was also watching him at the stadium. This really touched the hearts of many people, except BBC Sport Media whose response was contradictory and seemed to be making fun of Ronaldo.
All that sadness paid off and Portugal managed to qualify for the top 8, Diego Costa became the hero in the penalty shootout with 3 saves.

Well I actually see that CR7 is taking things with great feeling, it's true he seems like a 17 year old when it comes to feeling football, I don't blame him, yesterday things weren't going well for him, however when he missed the penalty I can't deny that the other players supported him, then he said in an interview that when they went to penalties, he wanted to be the first because he said that he liked to take on challenges and overcome them, then the goalkeeper recognized such an act and said that CR7 represented a great example for them, the "bicho" always has a great mentality in football and in life, for me he is a great person, now he faces a FRANCE that has an Mbappé who doesn't believe in anyone.

I honestly think that Portugal has more strength and a better roster of players than Slovenia, as well as a very good tradition of playing good football.
So I'm betting on Portugal to win even if this European Championship is showing us that the big teams are in clear difficulty and that the small ones, like Switzerland, reserve some surprises.

In the end France managed to beat Belgium, good for them they didn't make a bad impression on Italy and didn't go through.
I honestly didn't expect France to pass, I don't see them in very good shape.  She certainly did better than our national team.
I see Spain and Germany very well, precisely in this order.

Well this opportunity is worth taking. but looking at the goal scoring percentage of both teams in the round of 16 it seems quite difficult. Because in the round of 16, all teams played more carefully and they continued to maintain a balance between defense and front. So scoring goals becomes even more difficult for each team. The game always becomes more focused in the middle. But if it turns out that the strategies used by both teams are both offensive strategies, then I think the possibility of both teams scoring goals will also be quite high.

Well, the Austria vs Türkiye match is also equally difficult. It's just that I trust Austria's defense which is even difficult for France to penetrate. so I would prefer Austria. And actually I'm not really sure about my choice either. but I'm interested in the opportunities.

Slovenia spent almost all match it in defense, against Portugal this was expected, but it is worth noting that Slovenia played very well in defense and Oblak was very good. I agree that the Netherlands were lucky with their opponent, despite leaving the group in third place, which should mean a more difficult opponent, but it so happened that I think this will be an easy match for the Netherlands. Before this we had quite boring matches, in this match I expect the Netherlands to score at least two goals and the match will be TO 2.5.

Portugal's match was very interesting and that penalty moment of Cristiano Ronaldo really made me cry. You could feel how much he loves his national team and how much he wants his team to win, he is a true patriot. I support Germany but at the same time I want Ronaldo to win this Euro.
People are too harsh very often. Despite the fact that he is old, he is still capable of playing compared to many other young players, his shots are still as amazing as they were before and he still is the best in penalties. Sometimes even CR7 can miss the penalty too, it's not like he wanted to miss but this moment was really spectacular. Diego Costa was phenomenal though, he saved 3 penalties in a row and gave enormous confidence to the Portugal, he really saved the Ronaldo from all the hate and negativity that would come if Portugal didn't win against Slovenia.

Not been brutal but I don’t like the way you analyze football, a nation can lose to another country and the country they lost to can then go on to been battered by another country. By your analysis Georgia who defeated Portugal were better than them right. What about Turkey who later defeated Georgia but were bashed by Portugal. See football doesn’t work like a circle, there are bad days at the office and a good day at that. No nation except Switzerland, Austria, Romania, Spain and The host Germany have actually done better than Portugal in this competition.

I don’t see the reason why you think France are superior all of a sudden to Portugal, this two nations to me are perfectly balanced and none of them is better than the other in this tournament. I wouldn’t say France wouldn’t win but not because they won at regular time and Portugal used the Penalty Shootout to go through. Portugal with Ronaldo have been in this situation before and they got on to win it

If there is one thing the Portugal team needs they need there captain back in full swing to carry on again. Yesterday emotional display was a bit too much for them to handle, hopefully Diogo Costa was there to save the team. People have labeled this Portugal team as disunited but yesterday proved others. To me if they can get the maximum composure in the next match they can go on and win it

Ronaldo's role now is very different from the past, he now plays as a pure striker who only moves on the front line, different from his playing style in the past. However, in my opinion, if you compare it with the existing players, I think Ronaldo is indeed better in Portugal's front line, yes, although it is true that maybe at his age it is too pushy when he is forced to play 120 minutes.
However, his role is also really needed on the front lines, regardless of his failure to execute a penalty in this match, but in my opinion that is a very normal thing in football.
The coach will also know very well who he prefers to fill the position on the front line, and Roberto Martinez prefers Ronaldo.

Both the game of yesterday were boring at most. France had to fight a lot to get an own goal to win against Belgium. Portugal too was lucky to win against Slovenia in tie breaker. The two teams are not as good as people hope them to perform. Germany and Spain both seems to be better than both France and Portugal. The winner of Germany vs Spain knockout would probably have an easy win against the winner of France vs Germany.
Another part of the knockout is much easier the winner of Switzerland vs England would probably have an smooth ride to the finals.

In the last 16 rounds of the European Championship (EURO 2024), the Slovenian team defended well throughout the match and did not give Portugal many scoring chances. After normal time ended in a 0-0 draw, extra time began. In the 103rd minute, Portugal was awarded a penalty. Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo could not convert the penalty into a goal. The match remained tied 0-0 after extra time, and Portugal secured their place in the quarter-finals by winning 3-0 in the penalty shootout. As a result, Portugal will face France in the quarter-finals. In my opinion, Portugal’s goalkeeper, Diego Costa, was the hero of the match, saving three penalty shots.

it is difficult to predict which of these two teams will make it to the quarter-finals of the Euro Cup, Romania vs Netherlands. However, the chances of the Netherlands winning the match are higher. The Netherlands team is stronger than Romania in all aspects. In that case, I think the Netherlands will win this match as the favorite team and they will be able to reach the quarter finals. The Romanian team will try hard enough to win against the Netherlands but they may not be able to cope with the Netherlands. With the Netherlands leading the way in all aspects, Romania will find it very difficult to cope, and betting on this match is a must win if the Netherlands take the lead. And I think in today's match the Netherlands team will beat Romania and confirm the quarter finals.

Yes, I totally agree with you. The mentality shown by Cristiano Ronaldo is truly extraordinary. He didn't give up and he could even be said to be able to overcome the limits of his stamina well. We have to remember he is 39 going on 40 years old. But he played fully there. And he didn't lose motivation at all until the end. I really praise the mentality and resilience of the body.
And yes, the real hero was presented to Diego Costa in that match. both in normal play and in penalty shootouts. Diego Costa set a new record at the Euros and yes it deserves the biggest appreciation. Even my social media is filled with news about Diego Costa at the moment. Which shows that everyone recognizes the goalkeeper's greatness. And I hope he can be consistent with his performance.

Portugal fans should thank Diogo Costa for playing so well, and I think it's crazy that he saved 3 shots in a row, it was his best performance and he will always be remembered,

Although the Netherlands didn't do so well at the start of qualifying and only finished in the top three and advanced to the next round, many are favoring them in tonight's match. But it won't be easy for the Netherlands to overthrow Romania as a close score might be the end of the game.

I will be paying more attention to Austria and Turkey in the match, there will be many surprises that occur, bettors will be confused about which one they will favorite.

The odds for Romania to win are around 8 and I decided to take a chance, it's not often such odds fall out, even a small amount in the case of victory Romania well be able to turn into a very good profit.
I think to add to this bet that both team will score, but I'm afraid that the Dutch may not score with their game. In any case, I think Romania can win and the chances of winning are great, because Holland did not play very well, and Romania passed the qualifying stage well, scored goals and came out of the first place, ahead of Belgium.

Austria and Turkey are more difficult, it will be really competitive, but still I think the chances of Austria are higher, they play more disciplined than Turkey.
The selection of Austria and Romania is excellent, the total coefficient will be around 16 I think.
