Well, I think many people feel or have the same thoughts as you about the England national team, because I also think the same about them. England should even know that Switzerland is one of the teams that has a very good level of accuracy at the moment. So Switzerland very rarely makes mistakes in making passes which makes them always very effective when they have control of the ball and will immediately try to penetrate the opponent's defense quickly. And yeah it sometimes works quickly. Meanwhile, England sometimes still makes some mistakes in the accuracy of the passes they make. And that is also one small weakness that England must improve. And what makes me most disappointed with England is that they are not very good at taking advantage of good moments when they get good opportunities. It's just that the English national team could change for the better in the quarter-finals. Because they should also continue to learn and adapt more as the Euro progresses. And England could also make for an interesting match in the quarter-finals. But it will be quite difficult to guess who should be the favorite, Switzerland or England.

England only won because they had a little luck in the match. But don't forget that they can score goals in the last minute because they still have a strong mentality that doesn't give up until the last second. And Slovakia they lost mentally because they did not manage to maintain their fighting spirit until the last moment. but realistically we have seen England playing below their true abilities. because with all the quality players that England has, England should be able to play as well as Germany or Portugal or Spain. but what we see right now is that England is playing with a quality below that of Spain or Germany. And yes, Southgate seems to have to start correcting himself on this matter. Because they should be able to do better than this for the English national team with a very strong squad in it.

There is no doubt about this England is one of the luckiest team in this event as they are able to survive until now and having spot in last eight against Switzerland even their performance and quality not deserve their place here but here we also need to praise Slovakia which done good performance and having good chance of going through for the next round, but sadly they were also not able to convert their chance and spot.

Even now England is going to face Switzerland, but things are not ideal for them to have strong chance because their performance in this event is surely not good with they are playing cowardly, and their game tempo is also very slow which is not going to help them in next game they have to change their strategy if they want to have any chance for the going through Jude Bellingham done good job and having last minute goal for them with things were not allowing them to have any chance of win and having spot into next round of the Euro 2024.

With the performance I saw them put out it will be really hard to convince that they would survive whem they face off with Switzerland because this team has been very excellent in their gameplay and with the way this England team is performing even if they escape Switzerland it won't be long before they actually knocked them out.

The quarter-finals, which will bring together hosts Germany and Spain, will definitely attract more spectators. Because these two teams, who have been quite strong so far, will definitely give their all to win and this will certainly make the audience more enthusiastic to see the match until the end. I also can't wait to see the match between these two teams because they both have great young players and are able to make a good contribution to the team during Euro 2024.

A narrow escape for England yesterday and let them don't think that it will be the same when they meet Switzerland. England squad is good but their game pattern is not something to write home about. Slovakia got demoralized with Bellingham dying minutes goal and that made them concede an early goa in the first minute of extra time.

Southgate should be ashamed that he has all the quality players but don't know how to manage them and I believe that he has reached his last stage with Switzerland.

There was a bit of luck for England and also the individual strengths of the English players so that they were able to score goals, but regarding the overall performance and tactics that England applied, they were really very bad, it seems true that England will not be able to recover in terms of performance in the continuation of the Euros and I don't think so. make them favorites to win the title even though they have now progressed to the quarter-finals.
Jude saved England with a beautiful goal at the end of the match, this is because of the player's individuality and mentality, England is lucky to have a player like Jude.

Georgia has done its best, but Spain's quality is much better so Georgia doesn't have much effort to match it.
This is a normal result in my opinion and there is no surprise.
Spain deserved to win the match because they have much better quality than Georgia.

France vs Belgium will be a fierce match, but looking at Belgium's performance in the group phase, I have a little doubt about them.
I plan to bet big on France in this match, I think the percentage of France to win the match is very big.

Slovakia was indeed unlucky. They let their guard down at the last moment. And England can indeed be said to be very lucky because those who initially almost lost were able to turn things around at the last moment. For Slovakia it was a very painful defeat because they were almost able to qualify for the quarter-finals but failed when they were almost towards the finish. Meanwhile, England won at the last moment like a very dramatic story. but England may find it difficult to find their luck again in the quarter-finals. Because even though what we will face is not Spain and Germany, what we will face is Switzerland, but Switzerland is also a team that I feel is very strong. Even Italy also suffered quite a crushing defeat. And yes, it shows that Switzerland can really be a surprising team at this Euro. But actually England was also quite lucky because they didn't face Spain or Germany in the quarter-finals. Because I think if the opponent is Spain or Germany, with the current condition of the English national team, England's hopes of winning are very small and I might not even expect them to win. Luckily they will face Switzerland even though Switzerland is also a strong enemy. But there is still hope of winning for the English team if the opponent is Switzerland.

 Spain really controlled the match because of course, judging from the performance, Spain was certainly superior, so it is not surprising that Spain was able to win the match with a good score. Yes, even though Georgia lost against Spain and failed to qualify for the quarter-finals, of course at this Euro Georgia certainly has sweet memories because this is Georgia's first history of participating in the Euros and of course every player will definitely enjoy the atmosphere that occurred at this Euro.

and of course now Georgia's journey at Euro 2024 is complete. and of course if you look at Georgia's performance of course they are a strong team so in my opinion there is potential for Georgia to qualify for the world cup as long as their performance continues to be good and of course we have seen that Georgia managed to beat Portugal in the group phase and of course this is an extraordinary experience for Georgia . However, it will not be easy for Georgia to appear in big tournaments, but of course Georgia will definitely try its best. Of course, this Euro will definitely be a beautiful memory for the Georgian people and I am sure that now all countries will not underestimate Georgia because they still deserve to be called a strong team and Georgia already fighting hard to reach the last 16 of Euro 2024

Is actually a petty for Slovakia on there match yesterday against England because after defending there goal from the beginning of the match to almost at the last minutes England had to score, I can imagine the kind of disappointment they would be because they were very confident of wining England yesterday especially when the time had gone far and they were still leading with 1:0, well just as usual Bellingham was the savior of England yesterday if not they would have been out of the league, so they need to thank Bellingham on his efforts and consistency on that match. With the performance of England yesterday what do you think will happen on there next round? Because for me I think there chances are low, so what about you?.

Yes you are right, I actually thought England was going to lose this match. But on the 90th minute, Actually after the 90th minute And on the injury time, it was absolutely incredible goal from Bellingham. He really did a "noodlehair Rinaldo" kick . And after that, Harry Kane was able to score and make sure that England win the match.

I just wanna say something, I don’t think England was able to win the match because of the incredible performance of the whole team. They were able to even level the score because of the individual brilliance of Bellingham. And the defense of Slovakia, actually the defending mistakes of Slovakia actually helped England. They were defending well but towards the end of the match for some reason, the defending became pretty questionable from Slovakia

Yeah, I do agree with you. But playing the best football in this tournament don't mean you'll be winning the tourney. I would also agree with you on this, They're two great sides though but then, I'm still backing Germany for this game. When you look at them both, they have a good side and good quality players who can also detect the game very well.

I cannot say who wins that game wins the trophy, but we should be allso not look down on the counties from the other side of the draws ( Portugal and Netherland )

I've always had Germany upfront and I feel like they'll win it. I love the game yesterday night, having players like Fabian Ruiz and also Rodri brought balance for Spain as they both gave enough freedom to Daniel Olmo, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal to attack, attack, and attack. A good way to beat Spain is to stop these midfielder's from holding possession and force them to look for the ball, I believe the likes of Toni Kroos in midfied and IIkay Gundogan couple with Jamal Musiala can do that very well.

A Diamond formation would be perfect more like a 4-2-2-1 formation. But immediately they get a goal or two, they can now sit back and wait for Spain to attack so they can exploit them up.

Immediately these midfielder's and wingers are all marked out, it'll be difficult for the number nine Alvaro Morata because he hasn't done anything great for them so far. Team Germany any day, anytime.

Spain have not lost and drawn during this tournament so obviously Spain will make the favorite club to become the champion, I see the fast game of Spain is better than Germany, because they meet early it will be difficult to determine who will win, just want to see this competition produce many goals or attack after attack from both teams.

Germany as the host has a sense of confidence with its motivation, I know these two teams are very good actually Germany has never lost only being held in a draw by Switzerland 1-1.
I think a fierce battle is on the cards in the quarterfinals.

The right answer is: Italy were in their worst ever shape in Euros.    They couldn't do anything against teams showing good performances. Spain and Switzerland are the best examples for that.

Switzerland were just great. The manager Murat Yakın was also very confident of himself that Italy should fear them. He really showed why he was that sure of his team.  
 

Georgia did their best, Mamardashvili was really good with his saves too. But they still couldn't prevent that big score like 4-1. Spain has wonderful wingers. Williams on the left, Yamal on the right. It is really not easy to stop dangerous Spain attacks.

England journey to this euro does not seem to be easy because since the group phase began, England has not been able to perform well and consistently in every game they have, when the match started England had difficulty in dealing with the fast game carried out by Slovakia in the match, and even after the first half ended, I began to think if maybe England should indeed will stopped in the round of 16, especially before the 90th minute.  We didn't see any significant game changes from England although it looks like the English players are starting to get very frustrated, luckily England have Bellingham who is able to at least give England hope after his reverse goal in the match towards the end of the match, the comeback goal from England is of course quite dramatic but I think it actually indicates that there is still a lot of work for Southgate to improve in the last 8 later.

When England had to struggle to win from Slovakia, Spain in another match easily won over Georgia last night, Georgia who appeared surprising in the previous match was able to take the lead from Spain with Norman own goal in the 18th minute, but Georgia advantage did not last long and instead made Spain rise and destroy Georgia with a score of 4-1.

Cool the nerves brother, I didn't see the England team that bad yesterday, except for the initial goal drought. You might have expected more from them, which will not let you appreciate neutrally what was happening. But it's football, and anything can happen, we should at least appreciate that they delivered in the end. But scoring in the very first minute against them is not so cool and Slovakia taking it to the last minute of the match has put many under pressure, but in the end, it was good deliveries by Jude and Kane and the 2-1 is not bad at all.  For me, the end has now justified everything.

As for Spain and Georgia, I agree, it's obvious as it can only be luck for Georgia who narrowly won the knockout stage to win Spain which is doing better. And to first score in football doesn't mean anything, at times, the better team might be underrating the situation until they geared up to the challenge. You can see how things play out in both the first and second half, and scoring 3 times in the second half proves the better side. Again, it will be a challenging one between Spain and Germany, but that is if Germany does not disappoint. This is not the first time you will have that big expectation over them that they will fail, but Spain is not always like that. Let's see how that goes. However, France vs Belgium today is another one to watch out for, France should win but Belgium has done well so far too.

Exactly also in my opinion Switzerland will find a much, much more organized team than Italy, but be careful because Slovakia was much inferior to Switzerland so there will be a good challenge featuring two good teams but in my opinion England wins

I'm not gonna lie, but looks like England is over, they're struggle to win against Slovakia. I don't convinced they will beat Switzerland, Switzerland is one of black horse in this year, I wouldn't be surprised if they can make it to the final.

Nothing new to see Spain humiliated the small team, they've destroy any teams in group stage.

But, the quarter isn't easy for them since they will meet Germany, Germany is strong right now and they're the host. Denmark's coach was complaining over VAR decision, he said that the referee making decision which give advantage to Germany https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/40461478/euro-2024-denmark-var-decision-germany

I rate Spain better than Germany in terms of performance, but I think Germany will win since they have advantage.

Compared to previous matches when England was still in the group phase, their appearance has indeed improved quite a bit but, I think it's still not enough if they have to play against Switzerland. I can't understand why Southgate is still benching Cole Palmer until now, though it was obvious that when Cole Palmer played, their rhythm became more solid and better.

Slovakia is actually not much less than England, it's just that after England scored the return goal, Slovakia began to lose their composure and this had to be paid dearly by conceding a goal early in the extra time.

The Spanish player's auto-total would not have happened if not for the Georgian players who attacked and created chances. Unlike the England vs. Slovakia game, the match between Spain and Georgia was at least interesting to watch and until Spain's third goal Georgia had chances, but in the end it was the high class of Spain, which was able to score crucial goals at the end of the match and break the resistance of the Georgian national team.
It was obvious that after the third goal the Georgian players realized what kind of team they were facing.
It seems to me that the match between Germany and Spain will be essentially the final and whoever wins this match will most likely become the champion of Europe.
