Yesterday I warned everyone not to take Switzerland lightly. And look at what happened. Italy is out of the tournament thanks to goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas. A decade or so ago, such an outcome would have been unimaginable. But then, demographics is not on Italy's side. Their legendary players are all gone, and they have a rapidly ageing population (even when you compare the same with Switzerland). Anyway, it is not going to be easy for Switzerland either. In all probability, they will be facing England next.
England vs Slovakia
Broadly speaking, of course on paper England has a greater chance of winning, but on the field Slovakia looks optimistic by taking advantage of the imbalance in England game, which always struggles to create more opportunities. So even though England are the favorites, there is still a percentage that gives Slovakia a breath of fresh air if the English players have difficulty implementing Southgate's strategy again.
England fans have to hope that Southgate and his players will wake up on time after witnessing a big shock from Italy last night.

Spain vs Georgia
It's also not an easy match for Sylvinho troops because in terms of defense Georgia has solid strength. Spain could indeed come out as winners but the score may be close, depending on how far the Georgia players show their best performance on the field. Finally, in the group stage, Portugal was able to give big difficulties and was unable to break into Georgia's goal. For this reason, I hope Georgia will do the same thing again in the match against Spain.
Georgia have a good goalkeeper who made many saves but this reflects a fact that they mostly had to play defensively with big attacking pressure from opponents in previous matches. A good defense system is a foundation for success but will Georgia maintain it in this match? It will decide the match result because with counter attacking as their main favorite tactics, Georgia will not have abundant opportunities to find goals.
What a performance by Germany right? 
They really owned the game last night and didn't surprise any of us. I was even surprised about not seeing any goal in the first half.
But Denmark's resistance was broken in the early minutes of the second half. Havertz and Musiala were awesome. Especially Musiala is playing like a machine.
Nagelsmann wants to see him going on like this until the end of the tournament. Germany are absolutely going for the trophy!

but Denmark came into the match and did quite well. It a bit bitter though to have
a goal disallowed and awarded a penalty against in the space of a minute
by the same player. That was a horror match for Andersen.
The better team won on the night. Did anyone else feel the ref was slightly more
on Germany's side?
Germany really played impressively against Denmark, even if they can maximize every opportunity they have, I think they might win with a score of 4-0. At first, Denmark looked like it could match Germany's game. But, after the match was resumed (it had previously been stopped due to thunderstorms), Denmark was starting to struggle in facing his opponent's attack. The impact of the disallowed goal and the moment of handball which gave Germany a penalty, seemed to make Denmark's mentality start to waver.

In what direction do you prediction?
Spain vs Georgia is another interesting match. From the previous match, it seems that Georgia is not a capable team, their biggest advantage is the goalkeeper Mamardashvili who almost saves every strike but he alone can't protect the team but as I see, Georgia often manages to create a very dangerous moment but their players luck skills and experience to finish the moment with the goal. By the way, in previous match against Portugal, their performance was great, defence was superb and offence was quite good as well. From their players, I only knew Mamardashvili and Kvaratskhelia but to be honest, this new (unknown before) guy Mikautadze outshines Kvaratskhelia. I think that Spain will win but there is still a 1% chance for Georgia. 99% Spain wins!
Italy's defeat was totally meaningless, you can't play a match without having clear ideas, yesterday the team was only the backs and no one else's you can't play with a formation and change it then change it the next day, formation without ideas
but if Spain loses to Georgia then it will be the biggest surprise at this Euro. But I'm pretty sure at least Spain won't suffer the same fate as Italy. Because so far Spain has many advantages over Georgia. In fact, Spain was the only team that managed to collect 9 points in the group stage. And Spain is the only team that did not concede a single goal in the group stage. In fact, I now think that Spain is the strongest candidate to win the Euros this time.
It was already the biggest surprise, almost an impossible thing to see Georgia beating Portugal. I think that Georgia shouldn't be underestimated, despite the fact that our team is not the strongest, our performance against Portugal was super amazing and at the moment Mamardashvili is one of the best goalkeeper of Euro 2024. Our player George Mikautadze is also the top scorer of Euro 2024.
yesterday I bet on Germany's game against Denmark and I was right because I bet that Germany would win
Germany has a good coach who in my opinion is doing a good job so far, Julian Nagelsmann is an excellent coach and Bayern's management didn't know how to give him the due value he deserves, just as they didn't know how to give value to Tuchel who is also another good coach. I see Germany and Spain as the favorite teams to win this Euro. And talking about Spain, today they will play against Georgia. I see that although Georgia managed to beat Portugal in a game in which they managed to score 2 goals and didn't concede any goals, I still see Spain performing well coming out of this game with victory. That's why I decided to bet on Spain
My other bet was on England, who are a disappointing team, even though they have a good squad, they haven't been able to be a strong team because they have a coach who is a disaster. but in today's game against Slovakia, I see England getting a victory, that's because historically England have done well when they play against Slovakia

as the odds value is low in both games today, so I decide to place a multibet

In what direction do you prediction?
The group of Belgium looks like the toughest since each of them had 4 points each but it is unfortunate for Ukraine because it's very really sad that they all shared equal points in the group but they didn't qualified for the round of 16 due to goal difference because they had -2 goal difference while Slovakia got 0 goal difference then Romania and Belgium shared 1 goal difference each. I know the feeling when a team tie with others in points but got eliminated or didn't proceeded further due to goal difference.
It looks like all the countries in group E may not really qualified for the next round because if you check their upcoming matches you will see that the matches are going to be more tougher than anything they have ever seen on the group stage so they all need to buckle up their game because Belgium will be meeting France, Romania will be meeting Netherlands while Slovakia will be meeting England, so you can see that is a very tough matches for the clubs in group E. In terms of Slovakia match with England I may not no what the exact results will be but without being told we no that right from there history of football England is always higher in performance than Slovakia because of the quality players they possess, though England has not really been themselves this season because they seem to have been struggling during there group stage but however there is a big difference between group stage and round of 16, so they will use all they have to win the match.
I've predicted Switzerland will beat Italy, but I didn't expect Switzerland can dominated the match and Italy can't score a goal. Switzerland haven't show their full potential though, they went aggressive and after they scored 2 goals, they choose to play defensive and waiting until the match ended.
Germany beat Denmark is nothing surprising.
Today the match England vs Slovakia would be interesting, is there someone will bet draw in this match? I see a possibility since England isn't that good, they can't beat Slovenia and Denmark.

The English were among my biggest favorites. But their performance so far has been below expectations. They beat Serbia in Group C. But they drew with Denmark and Slovenia. I expected them to dominate this group, but they have only 5 points. On the other hand, the Slovaks are one of the surprise teams of the tournament. They came here as the third-best team. The English are my favorites in this match. They will score at least 2 goals against Slovakia. They have the players who can win this match comfortably. I don't expect any surprise from this match.
Losing his job as head coach of the Italian National Team is something we can say he definitely accepted. Spalletti failed to take Italy far in this Euro as the defending champion.
Italy, which is famous for its strong defense, has not been seen again so far. Against Switzerland, the Italian defense line was very easy to penetrate by Swiss players. Embolo's first chance yesterday which was saved by Donnarumma is proof of the weakness of the Italian defense. Vargas was also very free to make it difficult for Italian defenders to block him.

Switzerland looked very good, played with short passes, very confident play without unnecessary fuss. By the way, Donaruma saved Italy several more times, otherwise the score could have been devastating, this was not the kind of game we expected from the champions, but after the game with Spain it was clear that Italy is now not as good as it was before. Spalletti promises a lot, but in reality he could not achieve anything, the only victory against Albania was too weak an achievement. Do you think Slovakia will be able to cause problems for England today?
Switzerland did play quite well and it looked like they were more calm and relaxed but they had a great game and could score from those short passes, Switzerland looked much different from the previous season and I'm upset that they didn't get a win against Italy who lost, Spalletti made me quite disappointed with his performance, his promises were too big but his achievements couldn't meet his expectations, maybe he needs to be replaced for the next league.
Honestly Slovakia played quite well in some matches, they are quite competitive with the big teams, England could have problems in today's match, but if
Gareth Southgate knows Slovakia's weaknesses it will be easier for England, because Slovakia in the group matches have lost and he can analyze where the weaknesses are most covered by Slovakia, with the attackers Saka, Foden and Kane I think it is enough for England to get a victory if they know the key.
Spalletti's tactics turned out to be ineffective at this Euro, the defensive tactics are outdated, if only because they managed to make only one shot on target in the entire game, this is too weak an indicator, and after such weak games with Spain and Switzerland, and the loss of the championship title, Spalletti would rather in total will be fired. Germany looked very good, I liked the way they controlled the ball and overall the influence of Negelsmann was felt, I thought that Denmark could provide more resistance.
Italy seemed to careless from the very beginning of the competition they couldn’t win matches convincingly and narrowly managed to win and qualify to the knockout stage. I knew they were not going far in the competition but I didn’t know they will lose in such a manner, Switzerland was in total control of the game and the result of the match was deserving. Switzerland players were very comfortable, confident and controlled the game the way they wanted and the defending champions were no match for them. Germany on the other hand played like champions once again, they won, scored and controlled the game and progressed to the quarterfinals of the competition. I see them reaching the finals if they continue to play like this because all departments of the team seem balanced. We don’t know who they will be facing in their next games but they are a team you can bet on to win any opponent.
We will watch a very good match in the quarter finals. It is not very difficult to predict which team will win the match between Spain and Georgia, I do not think we will see any surprises.
The match between Germany and Spain will be very exciting. It was nice to watch such a match in the quarter-finals, Germany will probably win that match too
Don't be so sure. Everyone was betting on Portugal winning against Georgia but everyone lost. We did not just beat Portugal, we beat them 2:0. Don't be so confident that Spain will win against us. Sometimes, unexpected things happen. The match between Germany and Georgia will be really exciting The match between Germany and Spain will be very exciting.

Italy played worse than three matches in their group from intensity to motivation and how they attack, create opportunities. In this match with Switzerland, Italy did not show any signal that they want to win it. After a first conceded goal, then a second one, they played in a same way that is unacceptable with a big team like this. They can lose a match, lose a battle and fail to defend their trophy but losing like this is terrible.
Switzerland deserved the win and they got. They were the better side from the first minute of the game till the final whistle. Italy played a very disappointing game as if they were not the defending champion. I will blame the couch for the poor formation which is mostly the root cause of their problem. There are young players who have the ability to play better than the old ones whom he relied heavily upon together with his constant late substitution.

Germany shown good strength in first three matches and they shown it in a round of 16 match with Denmark too. They got luckiness and support from VAR, referee but their quality is good, performance is well too and in general, they deserve to win than Denmark. There are controversial moments in the match and Denmark can feel that they deserve to equalize the result. But with good performance from Germany, I believe they will be able to find another goal and beat Denmark eventually.
Germany is capable of winning against Denmark even without the help of VAR or any match officials. It’s normal to see such things happening in football and one team may feel cheated. In this case, without capitalizing on the controversies Germany were the better side and they played to win which eventually favored them. Having managed to reach this stage of the tournament, there’s no reason to underestimate any team but Denmark’s strength is not fit.

Switzerland and Germany have now qualified for the quarter-finals. Switzerland looks like they are able to make Italy suffer quite a crushing defeat with a score of 2-0. Switzerland played much more effectively than Italy and yes, Switzerland's passing accuracy rate even looked extraordinary with a percentage of 91%. In contrast to Italy, which only has a pass accuracy percentage of only 87%. Meanwhile, Germany won and well that's not surprising.
Like Germany, I think today Spain will also be able to beat Georgia with a score of at least 2 goals. Meanwhile, for the England vs Slovakia match, perhaps England will only win with a narrow score of 1-0. England actually had a pretty good game. It's just that they are not good at completing attacks. I don't know how, but England always has difficulty dismantling the opponent's defense. But against Slovakia it shouldn't be a big problem for the England national team. because in terms of the quality and depth of the squad, it is clear that England is very superior.
We've found two teams that have secured a place in the next round, the match between Switzerland and Italy is the match that has surprised me the most so far, indeed Switzerland has Xhaka and Shaqiri as their star players as well as their senior players, but I don't think any of us here expected Italy to lose badly to Switzerland,as the defending champion of Euro 2020, of course, Italy is a team that has better quality and quantity than Switzerland, but in fact the fast and aggressive game from Switzerland was not able to be stopped by Italy defense which was actually quite solid.Like Germany, I think today Spain will also be able to beat Georgia with a score of at least 2 goals.

I think after we see how the Italian team was defeated by Switzerland, of course we can't assume if the favorite team will win easily, including during the England vs Slovakia match and also Spain vs Georgia later, Slovakia and Georgia in my opinion cannot be underestimated, indeed England has so far qualified for the round of 16 as the group champion, But their performances so far have not been good enough, as well as Georgia who can indeed make a surprising appearance in their match in the group stage, so I think Spain and England should be wary of resistance from both teams if they do not want to suffer the same fate as Italy.

Football is never played on paper indeed. We have seen so many examples in this tournament so far as well.
I understand Germany and Spain as I think the same. But are Netherlands really among your favourites? Their defense doesn't seem in good shape as we saw it clearly in their Austria game too.

Germany, Spain and Netherlands are my countries to win this Competition. English is out of the picture, but I'm expecting them to leave me stunned.

There is no big difference, both teams are bad and didn't deserve to go further, the only difference is that Italy managed to beat Albania with great difficulty, and Croatia didn't even manage to do that. Unfortunately, Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic obviously does not intend to change too much in his philosophy towards the game and the players, and he stated that those who should obviously no longer be the backbone of the team will continue to play as long as they want to. Nobody can do anything to him because he has a contract for 2 more years, and apparently quite enough credit based on past successes.
