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.

Most of the gamblers thought of Italy team hot favorites in this match. But at the Group Stage I saw the performance of Italy players. I didn't see good performances on the Group Stage from Italy. So in this match I did not bet in Italy.

Switzerland players have attacked more than the Italian players in this match. Along with the players in Italy, their defenders' performances were not good. If the defenders could play well, the match would have been more competitive. Switzerland got the lead in the 5th minute of the match. Ruben Vargas scored the second goal of the match in the first minute of the second half. Switzerland's players' performances were very well planned in this match.

Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 in the Euro 2024 match, becoming the first team to reach the quarter-finals and defeating Italy after 31 years. Switzerland dominated the game from start to finish, effectively pressing Italy and denying them any significant chances. Italy managed their first accurate shot on goal in the 73rd minute.
Switzerland played a great game in the round of 16 and completely shattered the defense line of Italy and won the game by 2-0 very comprehensively. Poor performance by Italy and complete silence in a crowd what a way to go towards the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. A well deserved team to go towards the quarter finals.

In the last 16 rounds, Switzerland will face Italy and Germany will face Denmark.

Although the betting sites show Italy as the favorite, when we look at the football they play, I think Switzerland is one step ahead.

I also see a high probability that this match will go to overtime.
Germany is the clear favorite ahead of Denmark, but you never know in football.

I also mentioned this in my post. Italy was the big favorite due to the betting odds and its name, but since Switzerland was a team that played better quality ball, I saw Switzerland as the favorite.
Switzerland scored with Freuler towards the end of the first half at minute 37.
He scored the second goal with Vargas at the beginning of the second half and won the match with a score of 2-0.
Now all eyes are on the Germany match.
I expect a very comfortable win for Germany.
I expect Germany to win with scores of 3-0, 3-1, 2-1.

Switzerland played really impressively and I think they can be a dark horse at Euro 2024. Their appearance is quite consistent, and as we saw they were not only good tonight, but they also performed well when they managed to hold Germany to a draw in their previous match. Switzerland will play against the winner of the match between England and Slovakia in the quarter-finals and I think Switzerland will once again have a big chance to win the match.
Switzerland is better than Italy and Italy is worse than I thought... Italy's game seems like there is no creativity from the players or even Spalletti's own strageti, the game is more monotonous, there is no development since the match against Serbia even though it can finally score a goal in that match, but we see now how Switzerland is playing more nicely while Italy is still struggling to find space, meaning Italy is playing badly.

If the scenario where Switzerland meets England and we know England is also almost the same as Italy there is no impressive game so far then Switzerland will clearly have that opportunity then this dark horse team could be qualifying again after passing England.

I saw the performance of Switzerland and Italy in the group phase, these two teams have almost equal strength so it is quite possible that this match will be fierce and difficult for both teams, regarding the percentage to qualify for the last 8 I think Switzerland and Italy have the percentage the same one.
For betting, I plan to bet on Switzerland in this match, because with the squad that Italy has at this Euro I still doubt them.

And for Germany, which performed quite well during the group phase matches, it will be quite the favorite to beat Denmark, I think that's natural because Germany is superior in everything compared to Denmark.
I do not think that they do, I think Italy is better, they are just not consistent. I mean this is the team that won the last euro and then failed to go to world cup the next year, imagine how inconsistent you have to be in order to achieve something like that. This is why I think it should be considered how you are going to end up with at least a little bit of trouble when betting but also Italy is better if they do play with their 100%.

I think if Italy is on their day and playing decent, their talent gap is too wide and they should be able to beat easily. However, if it is one of those days when they are not good at all then we could potentially see them not do all that crazy so the results may not be looking all that great.

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.

Switzerland will go far in this competition with the way they dealt with Italy it shows that they can eliminate any country they clash with. I couldn't believe that Italy struggled to score one goal but Switzerland didn't give them any chance of making it happen. The early goal in the second half by Vargas demoralized Italy players. Although Italy played better in the second half but luck was not at their side as the only ball that they had on target hit the top side of the goal post. Seems the underdogs are the ones that will go far in this tournament.

First 45 minutes gone and Italy don't have any shot on target should tell you how seriously Switzerland are taking their defense and I'm not surprised at such a statistics
Switzerland has been very impressive in this competition and the Italians we have over complained about how they stay back and defend too much without creating enough attacking threats. They are not in a good position because going into the second half loosing by a goal and will need to try to attack more in the second half in an attempt to try to score, which will provide many opportunities for Switzerland to find a way through to get a second goal which will solid their lead. If Switzerland score again, Italy should pack their bags to go home.
Switzerland where too good with their attack especially during the first half, they literally destabilize the Italian tactical play, the Italians where nearly on pressure for a country a lot of people didn't give a second thought about, especially considering the fact the Italians are defending champions.
I remember telling somebody that football in Europe has taken a different dimension, those countries we didn't give much recognitions before are springing up with so much strength and vigor to challenge the existing status quo in the football world, we should be ready for more surprising results going forward. It's a good night for the defending champions.

I can't believe that the Italians are the reigning Champions but doesn't look like one with how they have been managing is not like the guys we saw last time back in 2020 and they haven't been seen a the favorite since the beginning of this tournament, although some players have left the national team but no better replacement and I must say that I love the way the Switzerland are playing today, it is impressive.
They are really good with and without the ball, all the players knows what to do and where to be when they are trying to get the ball, talking about Switzerland. If they continue like this I believe their opponent will be very aware of the danger they can cause, that's if Switzerland manage to qualify but to me is already done, Italy can't come back from this 2nil at the moment because they're just unlucky and they don't seem to be sharp with the ball.

Italy was deserved. Italy showed a poor performance, but Spalletti is the main problem here. For what use do spalletti serve fagioli as a starting line-up? Fagioli just returned from his ban; thus, I'm not sure why Spalletti used him.
In this game, Pellegrini, Cristante, and Scamacca are absolutely clueless. Clearly, Switzerland dominated the game against Italy, which concerned me at the group level, and they demonstrated their true quality.

Italy's lack of strong attackers makes scoring increasingly challenging for the team, as they struggle to generate opportunities. Italy hardly puts pressure on Switzerland's players and generates too many backpasses. Italy is losing her winning mindset at last.

Italy's match was boring there was no more strategy from Spalletti while Switzerland remained confident with their game, I thought in the second half there would be a change for Italy where they would appear more attacking but I see now they are not able to put pressure on Switzerland therefore Spalletti has failed for Euro 2024.

With a few minutes to go I'm not sure Italy will be able to get a goal back as the Swiss defense is very solid with 5 defenses behind them, while Italy's strikers are still struggling to find goal space.
Yes Italy will be knocked out by Switzerland, some of them have previously guessed that Italy is not the right candidate to qualify so it is true.
Not interested yet with Italy strategy after defeating by Switzerland lack creativities for making many attempt looking only made one shot on target, unbelievable how the favorite team in Euro 2024 lack creativities for scoring goals and make many attempt at most important match? Seems the first time of Euro edition with the defender winner last edition have eliminated on 16 of round and Switzerland for the first time their appearance in Euro success reach the higher round until quarter final and waiting with the possibility opponent teams make surprise reach the semifinal round?

Good bye Italy and improve performance for upcoming international match on World Cup qualifier, I don't sure with Spalleti position keep secure or not after failure make Italy qualify until final round in Euro 2024.

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.

I agree that Switzerland was a much more organized team than Italy. In general, if Italy don't have Donnaruma they would not have reached this stage, but unfortunately Donnaruma did not learn to score goals, and apparently there is no one else in the national team to do it.
Switzerland is legitimate to go further and I think is one of the main contenders for victory at this Euro.
Even more strange are the odds that were before the match, when the odds on Italy's victory were 2.5, and on Switzerland's victory 3.4, and those who were not afraid and bet on Switzerland could make good money.

Bye Bye Italy, for the second time in few years they are elimintated by them.
Spalletti may be sacked, there is a big one coach free that can be called. Allegri.

Italy has no talents, was a miracle in 2021.

Normally the Italians should apply a lot more pressure and play more offensively, as you say, especially after the 0-1, but even after the 0-2 against them they played calmly as if there was a return match? Maybe someone should tell the coach that the knockout phase only consists of one game and that if they are two goals behind they should try to play offensively. But even in the 70th minute the players are calmly as if nothing had happened, I really don't understand.

The Swiss team really surprised the Italians and they couldn't do anything again and since they always have this pattern of being defensive in their play, it was hard for them to attack the Switzerland side and they keep pressuring the Italian defense and Italy is known for playing some kind of boring game, always defensive that is why they are still playing very calmly and not put more effort at least to score a goal before looking for an equalizer, maybe the second goal broke their wings so they just lose hope of making a change in their play but looking at the time the second goal was scored, the Italians could have still put in more effort but yet they were playing very dull game. Vargas was very impressive for the Switzerland team as he made an assist that led to the first goal and also scored in the second half of the game just immediately when the second half started. Switzerland have now qualified for the quarter final stages.

Now they are already two goals behind and I don't really see any chance for Italy to progress to the next round. But they are also playing very poorly in general and have been since the start of the Euro, so Switzerland deserve to win and progress. They are a small nation but they are all fighting together.
I can’t understand Spalletti’s strategy for this match, they immediately gave the ball to Switzerland and spent the entire half on defense, even after they conceded a goal nothing changed. The second half started the same way and the result was another goal and Switzerland continued to attack. It seems that Italy’s middle line is losing, I don’t know what Italy is waiting for until the end of the match not mutch time left, but they are not trying to force the game at all.

Well well... Why am I not surprised at all to see this?  Tongue  I thought we would watch extra time at least but Switzerland are just very confident of themselves.   Cool

The first half was completely one-sided. There is no exaggeration in that, believe me. The players were like they were intending to return home quickly. The last champion is just messing it up hard now I'm afraid. Switzerland have already been dedicated and this is going to be a well-deserved one.  Wink  They will most likely face England though.

As England are also playing very boring who knows...

Yes, it’s hard to call it a sensation, although judging only by the names it should be a sensation. But in fact, Italy did not stand out among other teams (rather dull football) and today Switzerland deservedly wins. There are still 7-9 minutes ahead, but with the score 0-2 the chances are slim. I wonder if Spalletti will be fired? Under him, the Italian team began to play worse.
