England vs Slovakia
I was hoping for an easy win against Slovakia but England were underperforming compared to Slovakia most of the time. The wonderful goal from Bellingham saved them for being knocked out and another star Harry Kane made sure they win it. After the group stage, I believed the path of final for England was wide open but I'm not sure. They need to up their game if they want to reach the finals.
Spain vs Georgia
As expected Spain dominated it. Georgia showed a good defense in the first half but they got defeated. Spain is one of the best teams in this tournament and there's no reason for Georgian players to be sad as they have performed well for their first appearance in Euro.

England vs Slovakia England team won this match with a lot of difficulty and they qualified for the quarter finals. Where the game went to Slovakia until 90 minutes but Jude Bellingham's great goal in the 90+5 minutes drew the match. And then Harry Kane's ball secured the match 2-1 and England qualified for the quarter-finals.
The next match will be England vs Switzerland in the quarter finals.
Spain vs Georgia The Spain team put in an outstanding performance in this match which saw them enter the quarter finals with a 4-1 win. Spain is a strong team and Georgia team could not cope with them. However, as Spain will face Germany next in the quarter finals, it will certainly be more interesting and the two teams are strong enough here. If Spain can win against Germany in the quarter finals then they will surely enter the semi finals.

I also thought that Emgland will be getting kicked out after the 90 Minute was reached , but they wanted and needed that draw.
Such winning is emotional, always and can raise confidence of England team like Bayer Leverkusen last season but nothing last forever. Leverkusen eventually lost big in UEFA Europa League final match and were not able to equalize it against Atalanta. Being confident is good but over confident can lead to nightmare.Germany facing Spain i think that game will be the most important for both teams
This will remind us about the Euro 2008 final match between them. Spain looks to have another good player generation and this Euro can be a beginning of their domination in next several years in World Cup and Euro. In Europe, they belong to strongest teams and globally there are very little national teams can compete with Spain. Brazil and Argentina have problems and won't be competitive enough in World Cup 2026. 
At first I thought England were really going to be knocked out .
This must be an important experience for England so as not to underestimate any of their opponents, imagine if England were knocked out early of course it surprised us.

And yes it looks like that they underestimated there opponent.
If they got kicked out after that game i guess there would be a lot of things coming to the team and coach from the media.
Germany facing Spain i think that game will be the most important for both teams.
At first I thought England were really going to be knocked out but the miracle came in the 90th minute when Bellingham equalized the score and Harry Kane scored the 2nd goal, I know this is not just luck but there were efforts made until the last minute. Anyway, congratulations to England for successfully qualifying for the next round even though it has to be completed in extra time. This must be an important experience for England so as not to underestimate any of their opponents, imagine if England were knocked out early of course it surprised us.
England continue with their unconvincing performance and they must know that there will not a hero appears to save them like Jude Bellingham in this match. Quarter final match is another step toward the final match but their opponent is Switzerland. This opponent just won over Italy very convincingly and England must be very careful. If they let Switzerland lead first, ability to control the match very well with a key player is Xhaka, Switzerland will not let England to find an equalizing goal.After Switzerland, England will possibly meet Netherlands in semi final and they will have two big matches before the final. Southgate so far shown that he is not ready to change players who need to replace in England squad. It can be weakness of England in Euro 2024 and can damage their chance to win Euro title this summer.
That would be asking too much of them. How can you expect a side who where thrashed 7-1 by the same Spain in the friendlies to be able to be tactical in a competition like this?
The match in which Spain defeated Georgia 7-1 wasn't a friendly match. That was a qualifying match for the current Euro.Spain and Georgia were in the same group of Euro qualifying and they faced each other two times. Spain won one of the matches 7-1 and the other one 3-1.
England will always play like a clueless team until they are been eliminated from the tournament and I see the Slovakia team playing more better than the English side, even if they don't have the big stars in their team they still try to play as a unit with a plan and they are everywhere trying to defend the ball. Since the beginning of this tournament England have been winning in ball possession and they can hang on the ball for 20 mins but nothing to show for and is really frustrating to the fans. I want England to be eliminated but not like this and to this team, I still have the hope they are going to win this game and be eliminated in the quarter finals.

We already have 4 teams in the Quarter finals and today 2 other teams will be there like France and Portugal then Netherlands will follow while Austria and Turkey are still in competition. Honestly I want to see Turkey go to the Quarter finals because I think they have the ability to compete and in the previous tournament they were able to reach the quarter finals.
Spain is playing the best football in the tournament. Their quarter final match against Germany will most probably be an early final. I'm sure the winner of that match will lift the trophy. These two teams have been my favorites since the beginning of the tournament. Even if they don't make it to final, this generation of Spain will win many trophies in the coming years.
One thing I have noticed over the years with the Spanish national team is the fact that they do not usually have a specific player in their squad as the Taslima or the best player. The team is missed with both experienced and just mere talents and this as actually help them to improve the team. Just as you have said they are the best team to me in this tournament and a meeting with Germany is just too soon. This encounter and the one between Italy and Switzerland are similar because to similar football nations will be going head to head with each other.
Georgia's team was over the moon after the first own-goal, but the idyll didn't last very long. Spain locked them in on their own half and the execution began.
Still, getting through to the knock-out stage was a historical achievement for Georgia, so they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and will return home as heroes.
Spain has shown they're on a different level and I see them as a favourite to win. They will face Germany in the quarter-final, which is probably the toughest team to play against, but I think they have what it takes to go through.

Immediately I saw the Georgia team getting such an early goal I was more like either they get a second goal or are in for very long day defending and seriously my thoughts were right they quickly conceded a goal and from that first half to the end of the game I knew they will suffer more. I would love to say Spain defeating Germany might be their only obstacle to winning the Euros but that isn’t it, countries like Portugal; who are on their side of the competition too
They Georgians rushed the game without following having a particular plan and also lacked direction from the game tjes played tonight. Impressive against Portugal bit they couldn't do the same today
When you play against teams like Spain, and you are the underdog, it's necessary to have a plan but you'd need something extra to get you past a team as well rounded as La Fuentes' men.
Georgia did the best they could and even put up more fight than Italy did. It's enough to say that the own goal Le Normand conceded irked them and you'd have to agree that so far no team has made the great Spain concede an own goal in this tournament so that counts for something.
The game could be described as one sided but it was still fun to watch as Spain made light work of Georgia's defense which is quite expected being that they have got the best squad who can penetrate any team's defenses.
Kudos needs to be given to the Georgian keeper, Mamadarshvili, cause I feel there would have been more goals and the likes of Lamine Yamal would have had his name on the score sheet had it not been for him.
No more fairy tales for Georgia that they have to admitted that their quality is far below to Spain but as debut team reach to round of 16 is very impressive and actually i was thought this match will be hard for Spain because just like we know they have to conceded first by Georgia counter attack scheme but Spain didn't panic and they still focus to attack and attempts to broke the defense of Georgia and after Fabián Ruiz scored everything seems very easy for Spain which makes them can add another 2 goals and final scores 4-1 for them
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.
Georgia were lucky to get 1 OG so they could at least get 1 goal. Not as an underestimate, of course not, because after all, Georgia is already in round 16, which is quite impressive and awesome for them. It's just that, unfortunately they have to face Spain where Spain has a squad that is much more stable and strong.
Of course, this will also have a big impact on not only their ability to be ready, but also their mental readiness and the coach who accompanies them.
And once again, congrats to Spain.

England were very luck again today, I don't know how long they will keep being luck in this competition. They saw what they didn't expect today and the way the match was going I really thought England were going to lose. I was disappointed with Cole Palmer performance today, he was making bad passes and losing the ball. Southgate has to make things right as soon as possible. If they continue like this they won't go beyond this stage. Though they did what big teams usually do in the end by forcing out a win, it didn't matter much now that they have made it to the next stage, but Southgate has to come up with a strategy that will make them win matches without struggling like this. England has the squad to win this tournament but somehow I feel that it is the coach tactics that's making them to struggle, the coach should take up responsibility and know what he is doing. It's a big shame to see England keep struggling to win smaller teams.
Ironic how luck is a good thing in football, though England winning is still surprising to me from the fact that at extra time when I did check livescore I saw they were still losing and I spoke about it to a friend expressing how happy I`m not to place a bet on them thinking no hope for them because I don`t see England has a team who can turn things around in dying minutes but fortunately they had someone who plays in team where this happen often, that is Jude Bellingham who turn things around for them, taking it to extra time for Harry Kane to finish the job. England really needs Jude Bellingham to be in a good performance in every game if they want to win this trophy.Southgate should improve in his tactics, play players were they are good at and also work on the defense because the Slovakia goal by I. Schranz showed lapses there.
Georgia tried to give it the best they could, but it was over for Georgia. Spain leads the match with a score of 4-1 and is likely to add to their goals considering they did not reduce the intensity of their attacks, but 4-1 should be safe for Spain now.
Lamine Yamal really got the spotlight in this match, but this young man has not managed to score a goal. His impressive performance caught many eyes, but he was not yet completely established when it came to scoring opportunities. The match has ended and Spain has progressed to the next round.

Thanks to the solid performance of this squad that won the game tonight, that coach is really a great coach who came from the under ¹7 or ¹⁸. If feels good to see that they still have a good system from the least aide of them.
Four solid goals I can't lie you see.
Asides Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz all had a great night and whenever you all give credits to the attackers you'll do the same to defender's and midfielder's who work things up for them.
Impressive from Yamil Lamal although that is not what we had place to honestly see.

However talking about England indeed Slovakia has successfully to makes England gets in trouble even i thought England will be unable to equalized the score and although they have to hard struggling but finally England can eleminated Slovakia and advances to the next round and talking about England opponent on quarterfinal match they will facing tough opponent Swiss and after beat Italy yesterday i won't considers Swiss as weak team because they are very solid so England should beware of them

Spain's victory was predetermined, but I don't regret watching the game in full
It's excellent match by Spain. I know that Spain will definitely win, according to what we all predict and hope for. but on the other hand Georgia did their best. However, squad differences are inevitable. Spain is basically much stronger, ready, stable and solid. There are many top players there, so it is very natural that Spain can qualify for the QF round again.
The highlight is the next match, Spain vs Germany.
This will create a match that is sure to be very tight. Not to be doubted, there will definitely be many gamblers who bet on it and both of them have quite a lot of fans.
Both teams are quite the top favourites to win on this event. The odds are quite close with Spain rolling at 2.55, whereas, Germany at 2.90. Those are stake odds . Spain seems to be the more favourite here. Anyway, it can easily reverse its position in the next few days. I believe, there are so many fans who will bet on Germany here.
And if you want a very good assurance with your bet, the 1.79 odds for both teams to score is quite attractive. I guess, that's a very good chance to get good returns of your money.
I think that in the matches of the day, England - Slovakia will be a match between two teams that are evenly matched.
Even though England is the favorite on paper, the football they play is not satisfactory at all. There are very quality players in the team, but Southgate makes the team play defensive-oriented football.
They do not have eye-pleasing football.
There is a possibility that the match will go to overtime. I think the first surprise of the tournament may occur in this match.
The other match is between Spain and Georgia and Spain is the big favourite. In fact, I think Spain will easily eliminate Georgia even if they are down to 10 players at the beginning of the match.
If Spain passes this round, they will be paired with Germany. Maybe it will be an early final, but I see Spain as the favorite in that match too.

In this post, I only expected Slovakia to make a surprise, but it didn't happen. Other than that, everything was perfect.
England were playing the ball so badly that they had luck and saved the draw in the last minutes and took the match to extra time.
As can be seen from this match, England cannot do anything against Switzerland in the next round. I see Switzerland as the favourite.
In the match that just ended, as I mentioned before, Spain did not have any difficulty. Georgia took a 1-0 lead, but could not maintain this advantage. They had a counter attack once or twice, but they could not turn these positions into goals and could not prevent the defeat.
Spain may have won the match 4-1, but I can say that Mamardashvili prevented the historic difference.
Until this match in the tournament, Mamardashvili attracted a lot of attention as a goalkeeper.

England-Slovakia match ended 1-1 and went into extra time.
If Slovakia had held on for 1 more minute, they would have advanced to the next round, they conceded 1 goal in the last minute of extra time and the match went into extra time. England won the match in extra time.
Last minute goals are among wahal make tournaments like this more interesting, a team should never give up until the final whistle and that’s what England did today. Although, there game was not impressive in the first half, but they look serious and they made it in the final minute of the match because immediately they level up, I knew they are going to eliminate Slovakia. If Slovakia had held on for 1 more minute, they would have advanced to the next round, they conceded 1 goal in the last minute of extra time and the match went into extra time. England won the match in extra time.

The Georgian goalkeeper is playing very well.

I am impressed with Georgia’s performance, they really showed quality despite the poor rating they have in the beginning of the Tournament. Defeating teams like Spain is not always easy even if you score first, but they did well and deserved to be appreciated.

What happened today was much expected although I did not see the 4 goals coming. But in terms of the capacity of the clubs, Spain is sure bigger than Georgia in terms of squad depth and is expected to win over the Georgia national team especially that Spain means this match alot and also anxious to take the trophy home. What I cannot wait to see is the game between Spain and Germany which will be happening on the 5th of next month. Both national team have top young players who want to see their hands raise the trophy for their nations and are playing and working so hard to see that come into reality.
