What a performance by Germany right?  Grin  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.  Cheesy  Nagelsmann wants to see him going on like this until the end of the tournament. Germany are absolutely going for the trophy!

As they should, fearless and bold. You see why football is not played on paper? They had the highest probability of not winning the game but Fvck it!!

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.

Football is never played on paper indeed. We have seen so many examples in this tournament so far as well.  Wink

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.

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.

Germany defeated Denmark 2-0 in a hard-struggle match played at BVB Stadion Dortmund, advancing to the quarter-finals. The goals were scored by Germany’s Kai Havertz (penalty) and Jamal Musiala. The match was temporarily halted during the first half due to heavy rain, and the players went to the locker room. However, play resumed after the rain subsided. With this victory, Germany will face the winner of the Spain-Georgia match in the quarter-finals.

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 Cheesy
Yesterday, two games were played in the round of 16 of the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship and with the results of one the games, I don't think it'll be wise enough for anyone to write a team who is generally assumed as the lesser quality team. In the game between Italy vs Switzerland yesterday, a lot of people including bookmakers were backing the European champions to get the better of their opponents but to the shock of many, Switzerland came out victorious. Germany qualified after beating to the quarter finals after beating Denmark and would face the winner of the round of 16 game between Spain and Georgia and because of the strength of Spanish team, a lot of people are hoping to see them defeat Georgia so they can watch a good game when Spain faces Germany in the quarter finals.
Just like many other who wants to see a Spain vs Germany game in the quarter finals, I also want to see that happen but we mustn't totally write off Georgia from pulling a surprise by eliminating Spain from the tournament

Italy played very slowly and gave the impression of being boring, they also had difficulty creating opportunities which resulted in defeat by Switzerland. This result is not surprising because Italy played very badly in the group stage, communication between players was not well established which led to several fatal mistakes. Switzerland managed to dominate the match well, they did not leave the slightest gap for Italy to develop their game.


Yes, Italy was really helpless by Switzerland and I actually didn't expect Italy to play disappointingly in the round of 16. At first I thought that Spalletti would make Italy perform better in the round of 16 because in the group stage Italy played less well and their performance was not good.

yes Switzerland played really great and he was able to easily break through the Italian defense and it is clear that Italy is very difficult to open the strong Swiss defense and actually I also see that Switzerland will be luckier if he can take advantage of all the opportunities that have been created and I think maybe Switzerland will score 3 goals or more. but yes, with a result of 2-0 for Switzerland's victory, of course that is a good score and indicates that Switzerland deserves to advance to the top 8.

but Italy has of course fought to the maximum and of course Italy is now forced to swallow the bitter pill because the opportunity to advance to the top 8 has been taken away by Switzerland and of course now Italy's struggle is over and ended in defeat.

Today's match will be more easier than yesterday matches against Germany and Denmark and also Switzerland and Italy though i had already expected Germany to win Denmark but I never believe they will score up to two goals without Denmark trying to score one, however congratulations to Germany because they seem to have come back on there good form, Spain on the other hand is one of the club I admire so much for there consistent efforts on this season.

However today's match between England vs Slovakia and Spain vs Georgia, without being told we had already known the best candidate that deserve the wining, so perhaps with the performance of Spain during there group stage Georgia will not have chance against them today so is going to be one of there easiest match to win, England on the other will surely win Slovakia even if it will take them difficult time, however were the challenge will be serious is there next round because all the clubs that would qualified for next round are all good.

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.
It seems like Spalletti was only good when he was coach of the Napoli club. Meanwhile, when he coached the Italian national team, I felt that the Italian team was experiencing a setback compared to before. Spalletti has made many changes to the Italian national team. And this is what makes the Italian national team now have to go home early and fail in the round of 16. And surprisingly enough the one who beat them was Switzerland. After Italy won the previous Euro, now they failed even earlier. This is something that is indeed unexpected. It's just that Italy's performance since the group stage has not looked that good. And yes, the strategy used by Spalletti doesn't feel right.

Germany did a good job as hosts at Euro 2024. They did not disappoint their supporters in the stadium. And yes, these results are in line with everyone's predictions. Because after all, Germany has looked perfect since the group stage. And yes, if in the quarter-finals Germany faces Spain, I think it will be very exciting. But it would also feel like a premature finale.

The Italian team was very lucky, so they managed to qualify for the round of 16. Italy played against Albania, Spain and Croatia later in the group. Only against Albania. The Italian team won. The performance of Italy's players against Croatia's opponents was not good. A last-minute goal earned Italy 1 point against Croatia and qualified for the round of 16.

Switzerland's players were very confident even in the knockout round match. Switzerland's players made good use of the weakness of Italy's defense. Switzerland took a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half. Switzerland got a 2-0 lead by scoring another goal at the beginning of the second half. After falling behind 2-0, the Italian team could not make a comeback.

Switzerland was the favorite in this match. I didn't like Italy in the group stage, this is maybe the worst Italy team in recent times. They are inexperienced, they don't know what they are playing, players are disconnected from each other, they can't threaten the opponent, they are a bad team overall. Switzerland is a system team with good players who have been playing together for years. They have participated in all the last tournaments and have made some progress. It was a well-deserved win today.
Even before the match started I knew it was end of the road for Italy. The Italian side are not at their best recently, this wasn't the Italian side the were crowned champion in the last edition of this tournament. Their group stage matches were absolutely rubbish, they never won any convincing match. They should have left at the group stages. I wished it was Croatia that qualified in their place instead. Now that they have exit the competition, they should take time and build their squad, they should build a squad that will be able to compete for the world cup, if they still use these crop of players they won't even qualify for the world cup, even if they manage and qualify, they won't go far. The Italian team we used to know are known for their strong midfield, defense and attack, but this time around they are just a mare shadow of their former selves.
The was no connection among the players and the coach looked like someone that was lost with ideas and confused on what to do. Switzerland really deserved to advanced. Congratulations to them.

Switzerland managed to dominate the match well, they did not leave the slightest gap for Italy to develop their game.
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.

And as for the German team, a big congratulations to them for making it to the next round, no doubt that they are one of the favourite to win this competition, but they really need to improve in the final third, because they can't afford being wasteful in front of goal against one of the top contenders in this competition, if not, they would pay for it dearly, they can't be putting too much pressure on Musiala, and be expecting him to make a difference every time, because he is just a 21 year old.
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.

It has been visible since the start of the Euro that Italy is playing like the country of Mediakor, I would not be surprised by this 2-0 result from the way they faced Spain and they played like that, it is very clear that the Italian game and players have declined since Buffon's retirement. Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and several important Juventus players who were not called by Luciano Spalletti, have lost the title of defending champion in the hands of Italy.
The poor way of playing of the Italian players has been clearly visible since the group stage and what really became visible again was during yesterday's match against Switzerland. This means that the Italian players today are very different from the Italian players in the past, as in the example you mentioned, so it is clearly not surprising that Italy lost by that score. And I think if Italy's opponent had not been Switzerland, there would have been more goals against Italy in that match.

Italy failure to retain the Euro trophy was not too surprising because their game was very poor, the players' self-confidence fell very easily, making their game even more chaotic. After Switzerland managed to eliminate Italy in the round of 16, Euro 2024 will present a new champion. Germany as the host still has the status of the favorite team to win this tournament, Spain also still has a big chance, but France and Portugal also still have the opportunity to give a surprise.

I was really surprised by the lackluster performance of the Italian team yesterday, because I was one of those people that thought that due to the experience of the Italian in major competition like this, they would be able to put away the Switzerland team easily, but it happens the other way round, the swiss team easily defeated the Italian which was really a surprise to me, but to be frank, the performance of the Italian was very poor, I expected better from them as defending champions but they were a total disappointment.

And as for the German team, a big congratulations to them for making it to the next round, no doubt that they are one of the favourite to win this competition, but they really need to improve in the final third, because they can't afford being wasteful in front of goal against one of the top contenders in this competition, if not, they would pay for it dearly, they can't be putting too much pressure on Musiala, and be expecting him to make a difference every time, because he is just a 21 year old.

Switzerland cannot afford to get complacent because Italy can take them by surprise. They are in control right now, doubling their team work and covering every lose ends but one false move can be costly. Take the mistake of Fabian Schar that would have resulted in an own goal for instance.

Italy are so desperate and the home side are not making it easy for them, increasing the frustration of the champions. Today might just be the day Switzerland win their opponents after so many attempts at trying.
Switzerland really silenced the Italian fans today by winning the match 2-0 without reply. I actually didn’t expect Italy to lose today’s match considering Italy were the favourites to win but in reality it didn’t happen so Switzerland deserved to celebrate their victory today after producing more good attacks in today’s match. And it looks like in the other matches in the round of 16 this time there will be more surprises from teams who are not the favourites to win.

No one saw this defeat coming else Luciano Spalletti would have given his men more talk during the breaks. I'm not really surprised they got knocked out because right from the start, they weren't playing like the Italy we know; no drive, no threat. They found it challenging winning their games that ordinarily should have come easy for them.

It looks to me that their morale got dampened after their encounter with Spain. They were utterly humiliated, confused to the point of awarding an own goal.
The tournament keeps getting interesting and now they've been knocked out for their lack of seriousness, I hope England gets the same treatment.

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.

Where I thought Italy would win the Euro Cup round of 16 Italy vs Switzerland match. But against Switzerland, Italy team performed very poorly due to which they lost and they were eliminated from the knock out stage. It's really sad for Italy that they didn't beat a team like Switzerland but lost anyway Switzerland played well enough to qualify for the next round.


Switzerland played very well. they prove that Italy can no longer rely on their past glories. Switzerland gained confidence to continue in the next round. Italy may have been favored earlier because of the great country's history. but now we can see how competition in Europe has become tougher. Since the start of this year's Euro, Italy has not performed satisfactorily.

maybe we will see some of the favorite teams also lose, which will be more interesting at this Euro.

Germany to me were lucky In the match, the Dens easily walked passed through their midfield without hesitation and created many scoring opportunities but the only saving grace was that the dens couldn’t covert. Germany most especially Kai Havertz was wasteful In front of goal and against a bigger opponent they might be made to suffer those mis chances
VAR support and analysis affect referee decisions and match results. It's ridiculous to see offside or not is decided by VAR and with millimeter or one centimeter difference. It destroys football from decisions, results to emotion. Denmark felt it painfully from their loss and a Belgium striker Lukaku felt it too.

VAR can be manipulated too, we never know how fair and correct it is used in VAR room. Who will be able to make sure VAR application is not manipulated by UEFA or FIFA?

Kai Havertz in German team and in his club is different and Kai reminds me about Podolski who usually did not play well at his clubs but with German team, he did his performances better and even impressively.

Where I thought Italy would win the Euro Cup round of 16 Italy vs Switzerland match. But against Switzerland, Italy team performed very poorly due to which they lost and they were eliminated from the knock out stage. It's really sad for Italy that they didn't beat a team like Switzerland but lost anyway Switzerland played well enough to qualify for the next round.
If it is not Switzerland, Italy could lose bigger because their midfielders left so much space for Switzerland players to make distant shots. Switzerland did not exploit this space too well but in the match, they played well generally and will try to go farther than quarter final, better than Euro 2024 in England.

Denmark vs Germany In this match Denmark team did not perform so well against Germany due to which they lost. And the Denmark team was eliminated from the round stage but the Germany team was aggressive enough to win by two goals and confirm the quarter finals. But if the next match Spain qualify then I think it will not be possible to win against Germany because Spain is stronger than Germany. Therefore, the German team must be more tough and strong in the next match, otherwise it may not be possible to win against the opposition team.

What a poor performance by Italy!  Sad  They changed very much in 4 years since Euro 2020, but in a negative way unfortunately. They couldn't do much today.

Congrats to Switzerland fans at the same time of course. They played fearlessly, without hesitation. They were really good in the group stage already you know. That was a sign they weren't joking at all.  Smiley  From now on we are all going to concentrate on the last game of the night. I assume many of you are expecting Germany to win without doubt just like me.

They're like Napoli, failed to defend the Competition nicely. They didn't end this Competition the way I wanted I expected more from them honestly.

I saw a game they played during the group stage and I knew they wouldn't be going far again. Swiss did great, they've qualified for the round of 16 consecutively within the last two Euros Competition.
As they should, fearless and bold. You see why football is not played on paper? They had the highest probability of not winning the game but Fvck it!!

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.
