Live quotes are as follows:

2.32 - 2.52 - 4.50

But in my opinion, there is no serious advantage for France, and the quotes are such because of the “brand”. In addition, the French have already earned 3 yellow cards, which can be very risky given the fact that there is a whole second half ahead and now players with a yellow card cannot make a single mistake. Belgium have so far been able to avoid committing fouls that would lead to such a penalty.
The odds are quite big for France but it is still possible for them to be held to a draw by Belgium despite being attacked several times, now 3 French players have received yellow cards as long as the players are not provoked, they will be replaced in the second half,

The Belgian game can only wait for counterattacks so far the ball only belongs to France which continues to be controlled, I think Belgium must remain calm for especially in defense.

France has a big game advantage and a huge advantage in shots towards the goal, but if you take shots on target, it's only 1-1. France has a big game advantage and a huge advantage in shots towards the goal, but if you take shots on target, it's only 1-1. There are still 15 minutes before the end of regular playing time, will France really not be able to score a goal from the game again and we will see extra time? The second main favorite after England disappoints again.

We saw that France played more effectively in the first half. They have the ball more, they pass more and they attack more. In fact, this was exactly what was expected. But they haven't managed to score goals so far and that's a problem for them.
We know that Belgium is not a very big offensive team, they may not be able to find many positions throughout the match, but if they manage to score a goal, France's job will be very difficult. The more risks they take, the more mistakes they will make
The match is not easy as we may expect and France or Belgium will never find it easy in the match.

I wasn’t opportune to watch the match in the first half, but when I check the statistics I see how France were able to keep dominating the match, they have recorded 15 shots so far with two shots on goal, while Belgium were just calm because they knew how dangerous the France team is.
Nevertheless, I am expecting a 90 minute draw in the match but France might win the match at the end because they are creating more chances than Belgium; although if Belgium bring in Trossard, they can put more pressure to lgetba goal if they are lucky.

really a big test, I am now watching to see who wins since I lost interest due to Italy demise in such an ugly way
I think maybe Germany is stronger than France, from what I've seen
Let's see if France can pass Belgium's test, i think is interesting game

Italy didn't have much of a chance anyway, they didn't play well at all this tournament. If we look at the first half, France is also not very good. Belgium didn't push them too hard, but France didn't play the way they wanted to. Maybe this is their strategy, we are used to teams playing in control. They can't dominate the game like Spain and Germany. By the way, Rabiot received a yellow card and will be suspended if France reach the quarter final.


Donarumma's awesome saves

I am actually very disappointed to see the defense from Italy. A country that has been known for the excellent defense, looks like has somehow actually forgotten how to defend properly. In this match, they had given the Switzerland players a lot of space and the Switzerland players also used that space perfectly well. Thanks to Donnarumma, he actually made some very important saves for Italy. But still, it was not enough. Italy is a country from where such great defenders like Maldini and Nesta were born. I even heard people call them the defense of Italy "the wall of Italy". But I guess those days are over. None of the defenders actually pressed any players of Switzerland properly.

Disappointing performance from Italy and now they are out of the Euro 2024.

In my opinion, a reasonable bet for this match is a draw because the goal expectations for both teams are the same.
France and Belgium were both not very good at this Euro, at least during the group stage. Betting over is not a good choice to hope to win the bet because Belgium and France's front lines are not that sharp.

If we use the group stage as the main analysis to assess the strength of the two teams, perhaps in the round of 16 France and Belgium could change or perhaps their game will be like yesterday's England vs Slovakia match.
On paper, France has a squad that can really be expected to win any match, but the difficulty that France has experienced so far is the lack of effective game strategy. France's game strategy tends to be read by its opponents and this has made it difficult for France to find goals. Didier Deschamps was responsible for changing the game plan, but the defense and midfield have been excellent so far.

Randal Kolo Muani has just come on to replace Marcus Thuram, but it would be good if Deschamps played Dembele to improve the game. There have been no goals for either team so far, but the French defense must be careful when Belgium launches counterattacks.

The first half of this game is not interesting because the two teams are trying to be too careful not to make mistakes and that has reduced the attacking intensity of the both teams. In this competition these two teams have not been very impressive, they've just been struggling to win their games and it is showing in the way the two teams are playing against each other. Tchouaméni has had the best chances for France, he wasted them.

The round of 16 had to play cautiously because defeat could not provide their chances of surviving in the tournament like a group stage was rounded.
France continues to look for gaps and try not to make the slightest mistake in the game. Belgium also did the same thing during the first half and the second half ongoing.

M. Thuram replaced and put in Muani by Deschamps showed that Deschamps realized that the figure of Thuram was slow in finding space that could be utilized by other French players such as Mbappe and Griezmann.
Kante and Tchouameni are able to master the midfield compared to De Bruyne as a regulator of the rhythm of the Belgian game.

Is it fair to say Slovakia played way beyond expectation? Wasn't this proven against England?

What if Belgium isn't all that bad, but the group was far tougher than anyone could anticipate? This is my assumption here - I had Slovakia yesterday and I'll continue backing Group C in the playoffs.
There’s nothing stopping you from rooting for any team here and making your own assumptions about any team because everyone has their own views on supporting any team at Euro 2024. And now it’s a good idea for you to enjoy the round of 16 match between France and Belgium because this match is also quite an interesting match after seeing the performances of both teams in the group stage.

The both teams are really strong, and the both teams finished second in the table so seeing the first half played draw is dramatic, Belgium are facing difficult teams even starting from the group stage they had the most toughest group in the tournament, a group were all the teams have equal points that means Belgium worked so hard to get it self a slot outside the group. France really dominanted the first half where Belgium zero big chances and also zero chances created, they also recorded a shot while France recorded almost 9 shots with 7 chances created and a big chance, let see how the second half will be but currently France are mounting pressure, can Belgium resist it?

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
So far France still looks more dominant than Belgium with 3 shot attempts and 1 shot on goal, bookies also favor France to win. There are still 25 minutes left until the first half ends, I think maybe we will see a goal in this first half, it could be from France or from Belgium. BTW, I'm going to place a bet on the second half, want to see first how the first half will end.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
The game between Belgium and France is being held in tension. Neither team managed to score before half-time, which is why the match is still tied. However, after half-time, both teams will attack more strongly to qualify for the quarter-finals. And in today's match, France is in possession of the ball most of the time, but if Belgium tries a little better, then there will definitely be equal tension. The team that wins today's match will go to the quarter-finals, and the losers will be eliminated from the Euro Cup. That's why today's match is very serious, and every team should play hard and play hard to win. And I think that today's match France will probably attack more strongly against Belgium and win, and there is a possibility that France will win and go to the quarter-finals.

From the beginning of the match, France is completely attacking. At the end of 30 minutes, the players of France managed to make 5 shots. On the other hand, the players of Belgium made only one shot. Since France is playing attacking strategy. So it becomes difficult for Belgium players to counter attack.
The first half of this game is not interesting because the two teams are trying to be too careful not to make mistakes and that has reduced the attacking intensity of the both teams. In this competition these two teams have not been very impressive, they've just been struggling to win their games and it is showing in the way the two teams are playing against each other. Tchouaméni has had the best chances for France, he wasted them.
 There is one sure thing in this game that the first team to score has the highest chance of winning the game so with the way France are attacking it is possible that they score first, and it is also possible for Belgium to score first with how tactical they are in this game.

Yes, this cannot be denied, in fact, it seemed like Georgia had no chance to attack, not even 1 shot on target.
Let's check the statistical data together, Spain is far superior in various fields, starting from dominating ball possession, attacks, and even the number of shots on target. so it is very natural that Spain is far superior and wins 4 - 1 against Georgia.
It is very clear that controlling the course of the match in terms of ranking is different, Spain is ranked 8th in FIFA and Georgia is ranked 75th in FIFA. Long into the next match with a landslide victory.
Rank reflects the abilities, experience and strengths they have. So it is natural that the 8th rank is compared with the 75th rank in FIFA. Yes, at least Spain got a smooth road to go to the final QF.

Spain dominated the match and won big but Georgia actually had sweet memory for Euro 2024. Participate in Euro 2024 can be a most memorable experience for many Georgian players.
Of course, this is history for Georgia for reaching the 16th round of Euro 2024. This is new history for them. They probably never imagined that they could advance to this round, especially by beating Portugal at that time. However, this is the fact, even though in the end they lost to Spain, the history that they are in Euro 2024 round 16 is inevitable and cannot be taken lightly, especially for their team and also the country.

The biggest test for France will be against Belgium. Deschamps has made an attacking first 11 with Griezmann, Thuram and Mbappe. In midfield, Kante will dictate the tempo again. Lukaku needs to recover in Belgium. Openda will also look for goals. I think it will be a very solid match, both sides have close chances. France is one step ahead of course, but Belgium, as a team that has consistently lost less over the years and has always been at the top of the standings, will now give everything to go further in a tournament.
This is a very tight match.
Even at half-time, the score was still tied at 0 - 0. And if we look at the statistics, both of them also have almost equal strength. However, France has more opportunities to attack, but it has not yet become a fatal attack for Belgium. What this means is that the Belgian defenders can still handle it well.

Source: France vs Belgium

If both of them remain in the same position and at the end there is a draw, then penalty shootouts, then at least it seems to be more profitable for France. In my opinion, if it is a penalty shootout, then the France squad has a greater chance of qualifying, especially as their squad is more prepared and stronger for the penalty as a whole compared to Belgium.

England's match against Slovakia was very impressive. In the first half, Slovakia managed to beat the match by scoring 1 goal through a shot from Ivan Schranz, strangely, even though England managed to take the lead in possession, however they failed to score a goal in the first half, i think England's defense was weak, because we can see how Slovakia repeatedly entered England's defense line easily, and posed quite a dangerous threat to England.

However, in the second half, England managed to equalize the score because of a very spectacular shoot from Jude Bellingham. Then, in extra time, Herry Kane managed to score a goal and bring England victory against Slovakia, truly dramatic in this match. Bravo England, for successfully qualifying for the Quarter Finals.

England was lucky to win against Slovakia, I said before the game that I was not comfortable with England's draw against Slovakia because England only scored one goal in the three games they played in the group stage. Moreover, England's attacking line did not improve in the first half, I'm not sure whether they were afraid of Slovakia's defense. With their current performance, England is not ready to move on to the next stage. Despite winning in extra time, England's performance was very annoying they were not serious about their games till they conceded a goal. England is still falling asleep and I believe they should wake up since this is not the performance we expected from them.

Furthermore, England will face Switzerland in the quarter finals. My question is if England will withstand the pressure of Switzerland, with how impressive they played in their last four games, and Germany was unable to beat them. I hope that is not the end of England's journey in this tournament.

Considering their gameplay, I think France is showing a much better game than Belgium. They might have a better chance to win this as they have a more balanced team. Belgium has some good players but the team members don't support them enough to create a team game.

BTW, I'm going to place a bet on the second half, want to see first how the first half will end.

I think that Belgium is always threatening France with their counterattack, and some golden chances are also happening from Belgium's side. The game is just getting even more interesting, and I rarely see an attack from France. Belgium is able to build its attack better than France.
France may be losing if they keep playing without intensively pressuring Belgium. A small mistake can cost France a spot in the next round. Belgium's defensive line looks even stronger than last game.

Rabiot gets a yellow card for his serious foul, and he must be playing carefully to avoid the red card.

An interesting first half but it ended goalless. In the last quarter of the match, France took total possession of the game and several chances was created but not the perfect one that could have given France a goal. Towards the last minutes of the addictional time, Mbappe did a marvelous assist but Tchuameni missed the opportunity of finding the back of the net. Most the shots from France went outside the goal post.

Belgium had a good ball composure and they created some opportunities but the French defense did not allow them to penetrate through. The second half will be a fierce one because none of these two teams will accept to be eliminated from this round but the strongest and luckies will win the match. Belgium played very well in the first half.

That's right, I also watched this match. France continued to launch attacks and did not give Belgium a chance to attack, but 3 yellow cards on the French side is my highlight I mean the activities of these players will be slightly hampered because of the risk of a red card, if Belgium can use it properly then there is a possibility that France will play with 10 players and we actually don't know what scenarios will occur throughout the game.

In other matches that will be played in the next few hours between Portugal and Slovenia, we know most people predict Portugal will win easily but for me it's not as easy as we imagine because I think Slovenia has a good defense and they only conceded 2 goals from 3 matches, so I'm sure Slovenia will hope for the same result 0-0 or a draw so the winner will be determined through a penalty shootout that was their only chance to win the match.

But Belgium are very tactical today. Belgium players are not trying to attack much. However, France's defenders must be very careful. Belgium is certainly preparing for a strong counter-attack. If the French defenders are not alert, France has the possibility of conceding a goal. If Belgium can somehow score the first goal in this match, then I say Belgium will win this match.

I would say that France is two steps ahead of Belgium, but I am not underestimating Belgium. France has everything to defend well, control the middle game and attack well. Of course I expect this match to be very interesting, but it shouldn't have many goals. The high pressure exerted by the French players means that Belgium tends to defend and has difficulty developing its play, so I think a goal is only a matter of time now.

Belgium may be very dangerous with their fast counter-attack scheme, but they can also use set pieces to look for goals. De Bruyne is one of the most dangerous, but Doku and Yannick Carrasco are also worth watching out for. There hasn't been a goal for 30 minutes, the tension in the match is very high so far.
