Netherlands are strong but they are weaker than France in quality but both Belgium and Romania will have very difficult matches in round of 16.

The failure of Ukraine is sadly and it's weird to see all four teams in a club with same total points (4 points) but Ukraine have to go home. Belgium were fearful in that match and in very last minute, with a corner kick, they tried to prolong their ball possession because they did not want Ukraine to have a counter attack and defeat them at very last seconds.

England did not satisfy their fans in first three matches but with star players they have, they can wake up and play better. After a semi final in World Cup 2018, a final match in Euro 2020, expectation on England team is very high and Southgate said that he has his plan to step back if England won't win Euro 2024 title.

Compared to Belgium, which will face France in the round of 16, I think Romania is a little lucky against the Netherlands in the round of 16, even though it is equally difficult, Romania still has the percentage to be able to beat the Netherlands in the round of 16.
In the Group E phase it was quite fierce and I think Romania's success in becoming the leader of the standings was because Belgium did not perform well at this Euro.

In the group phase, England have not shown an impressive performance, but I don't think they will have any difficulties in the round of 16 against Slovakia.
And what happened in the group phase cannot be used as a reference, there is still a big possibility for England to improve their performance if you look at the squad they have.

It's not Denmark's style to play defensively, I watched their games, and maybe they weren't their best matches, but they didn't look bad. They were unlucky with their opponent, playing against the hosts of the tournament is always very difficult, and Germany actually started very well, they are on a roll and have huge support from the fans, I think that Denmark has almost no chance of beating them. But Switzerland can try to beat Italy, Spalletti's team is not as good as before, and it is obvious that the emphasis will again be on playing in defense.

Denmark probably has a pretty solid defense. but they would definitely be overwhelmed by the sharpness of the German attacks. And not only that, Germany also has an equally solid defense line. And it could be said that Germany is at a level slightly above Denmark. So there is no doubt that Germany will be the favorite. But of course Denmark will also provide very fierce resistance. But imagining that Denmark will be able to beat Germany is quite difficult to imagine. And yeah it's a small chance. but for Germany they have a big chance of qualifying for the next stage.

At least Germany, Spain and Portugal, I think there is no doubt that these three teams will be able to qualify for the next stage. Because they don't seem to have any significant difficulties in the group phase. And maybe the round of 16 will not be a difficult obstacle for these three teams to continue to go further.

Group E surprised us, Romania managed to finish in first place beating Belgium which on paper could be much better. Maybe facing the Netherlands is not easy, it's just that in terms of opportunities, Romania still has the strength to put up a fierce fight, the round of 16 is definitely a strong reason for Romania to play at full strength.

Slovakia is not a top team that can progress further, England should be able to handle this well but even that is not 100% if you look at England game which always has difficulty finding the ideal formation. Southgate is considered a rubbish coach who is unable to utilize his star squad.

We can realistically see that Germany's strength is slightly better than Denmark and also that Germany is a host who has much stronger motivation and self-confidence because of the support of the fans.
Denmark has indeed shown a good performance in the group phase, but I can see that it is very likely that Germany will be able to beat Denmark.

And what you also have to remember is that in the round of 16, everything will be fierce, all teams will give their best to get through to the next round, so nothing is easy here, but for favorites and speculation it is still up to each individual to determine the bet.

When I look at Denmark's games in the group, I don't see anything "very good and stable" honestly.    They got 3 draws and still qualified for last 16.

Slovenia played really good against them. Serbia weren't that good but Denmark still couldn't beat them. I'm okay with a draw against England though. However this performance in general doesn't look very promising to progress further. You know how solid Germany have started. I can say they are one of the best teams in Euro 2024 so far. Denmark will have to play defensive. Even that won't be enough to stop Germany in my opinion.

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.

Denmark can certainly put up quite a tough fight against Germany. Because if you look at Denmark's matches in the group phase, you could say their performance was very good and stable. The proof is that during the group phase, Denmark was never defeated by any team, even a team like England was a little overwhelmed when they faced Denmark. The reason is that against England, Denmark really dominated the match. For this reason, I am very confident that Denmark will be able to provide strong enough resistance to Germany. I also have a prediction that Germany has the potential to lose quite a lot against Denmark. Even though Germany does have a sharp attack line, in my opinion it will be a little difficult for Germany to penetrate the Danish defense. Then, apart from having a very strong defense, Denmark also has very sharp counter-attack tactics. So of course Germany has to be really careful when pressing the Danish defense. Because it is possible that if the German player makes the slightest mistake, the Danish player will definitely be able to use it as a golden opportunity to counterattack.

But even so, Germany does have greater potential to win the match than Denmark. Because as we know, Germany is hosting the euro this time. Apart from that, Germany's squad also contains very great players. Because almost the majority of players play in big European clubs. So you can be sure that the performance produced by these German players will always be optimal in every match. And the point is that the Germany vs Denmark match will definitely be fierce.

I agree with you. Maybe this time they will have their jobs cut out for them when they Denmark. Without doubt, Denmark aren't as strong as the hosts in the tournament but at least they can hold their own and I don't think Germany will find it easy penetrating into their defense; except the Danes let themselves get caught by the very sharp twist and turns of Jamal Musiala else they are good to go.
 In the group stages, Denmark were more preferable in terms of performance to England, they don't have a decorated squad but they still manage to get the job done. I think they will have excelled better than they did if they had executed most of their goal opportunities. Well, they have been paired against a side known to not take chances at goal, let's see how it will pan out.

 Germany and Denmark have met a total of 8 times and while Germany have managed two wins, Germany has three while the remaining has ended in a draw and I wonder who will have the upper hand in this game.

The Germany vs Denmark match will probably be quite exciting. But I don't doubt Germany's superiority and I think in this match Germany will really dominate the match and overwhelm Denmark so that in the end Denmark will make a mistake and allow Germany to score an early goal. So my estimate is that Germany will win by at least 2 goals. But yeah, this is just my speculation. Because as we know, football matches can sometimes produce surprises that at first seem impossible.

The round of 16 will start with the Switzerland vs Italy match. I initially believed Italy could be favored. But after I saw how Switzerland was struggling, which was in the same group as Germany, I began to think that Switzerland was worth taking into account. And I think Switzerland could even be a worthy favorite.

There is no doubt that the France squad is very strong. But is France able to perform well in this year's Euro? I would say France's performance is very poor. France's overall performance is poorer than even any mediocre team.

The France team played against Austria, Poland and the Netherlands at the Euros. Won one out of three matches and drew two. But the interesting thing is that France scored only 2 goals and conceded one goal in these 3 matches. I can't call this a good result. So, despite having a strong squad, it cannot be said for sure whether France will win against Belgium. Belgium's squad is not weak either.

Four latest Euro final matches are between these teams.

Euro 2008: Spain vs Germany
Euro 2012: Spain vs Italy
Euro 2016: France vs Portugal
Euro 2020: England vs Italy

If these teams win in their round of 16 matches, we will have a quarter final round with 3 matches between teams that joined 3 / 4 latest UEFA Euro final matches.

Possible quarter final matches
Spain vs Germany
France vs Portugal
England vs Italy

It's very interesting.

France stands out with its slightly stronger players. It would be right to say that Belgium also has a quality squad. It would be a great success for Belgium to eliminate France because France is currently one of the favorites in the tournament. Of course, Belgium also has a quality squad, but not as much as France. So the fight will definitely be enjoyable. I can't wait to follow this match.

Despite the intimidating number of quality players in the attacking line of the Portuguese national team, they've not been able to score to many goals in the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship. Their shocking defeat in the hands of Georgia yesterday was almost never predicted by anyone but I think that defeat will also make them to sit up ahead of their games in the knockout stages of the competition so against Slovenia, I expect Portugal to win the game. The German vs Denmark game I think will not be too difficult to predict because of the overall performances and results of the host nation in the tournament. Denmark without doubt is can pull a surprise if they get any opportunity to do that but I strongly do not think that Germany will let them get a result in that game. So I'm expecting Portugal and Germany to progress to the quarter finals from their respective round of 16 games

First thing is I don’t understand why people still rate this England team so high, they are definitely not what everyone thinks they are most especially with Southgate still looking for his perfect combination at this point in time, I will say they are on the same log side with some serious underdogs teams that I will say will be hard to knock off. First on the list is Switzerland, if there is any team on that side of the log with some defensive back it is them, they can easily hold on to any lead and also have the attacking power to upset any nation in the competition. The other nations I fancy a lot is the Italians They are the defending champions for a reason, they have some serious defenders too to compete with and it’s sad both of them are coming against each other this time which seems too early for me. But should any of them progress then England might have to do much much better than they have done in this tournament. Then we still have the Austrias who to me are the most completed nation as an underdog, if there is anything lacking in this tournament it is goals and that’s what they are scoring for fun. I see them too as a nation that could upset the others.

On the other side, Germany, Spain and Portugal are teams I see that will be hard to get eliminated. Portugal to me even though they are my team to win will find it hard to get past any of this two because of the goal drought that Ronaldo is facing. France is definitely underperforming but should they find their rhythm against this Belgium side who I don’t rate that much they will be in contention for the finals. If there is anyone France needs back it’s Mbappe back to scoring form, hopefully his penalty will be the start of everything

Germany is good both defense and attacking. According to the stats, Germany has scored 8 goals and only conceded 2 goals. They won 2 matches, 1 draw, and 0 lose. I think this clearly describes how strong Germany in this competition. For me, this team is one of the favorite teams to win the trophy. Meanwhile Denmark, this team looks not convincingly. So far, they never won a single match, they got 3 draws. Their attackers scored 0 goals, all their goals were made by midfielders. If Germany will play against Denmark, no doubt Germany will win the match. Moreover if Julian Nagelsmann changes the goalkeep of Germany, I think they can be stronger. I don't know why he prefers to choose Manuel Neuer over Ter Stegen. IMO, Ter Stegen looks stronger to be the goalkeeper of Germany.

By the way, I don't see a chance for Denmark to score goals. Germany defense is one of the strongest defense in this competition. Since Denmark has weak attackers, it is very unlikely to see them scoring goals. If there will be many goals, those goals should be made by Germany players. Well, this match is quite easy to predict because the level of the teams is too different!!

Germany



Denmark

One of the most enjoyable and competitive matches is definitely the one between Italy and Switzerland. Both teams have performed well in this tournament, but it may not be clear who will make it through until the last minute. In a battle of 2 equal teams, Italy is the slight favorite, but Switzerland has just as much chance. I think Switzerland had a better tournament and I think they will make it through.

Yes, this will be a pretty tight match too, with high testing. Belgium is indeed a strong team. However, unfortunately, they had to meet France. With their last H2H condition, and the current condition of their players, then if we look at yesterday's group phase, I still think and believe that France will come out on top and qualify for the next round. Not to underestimate, but France has quite good player qualifications and consistency compared to Belgium. This won't be easy for those two, of course, both are big team of football. It'll be tough.

Even if they are equal and draw, I am sure that Portugal and Germany will win on penalties. Slovenia does have a fairly tough type of defense, but it doesn't seem like it's as good or strong enough to withstand attacks from Portugal's players. We do know Ronaldo, but there are several other top players in other countries who can also make their attack line much more effective and stronger. It won't be easy for sure, but Portugal has far greater chances than Slovenia.

what will be much more interesting is Germany vs Denmark where they also appear to have the strength of their respective lines. However, even if there is a penalty, Germany may have more opportunities to win, not only because of several top players on the front line, but also the mental preparedness that could be superior too.

But apart from that, I think Spain will still be one of the finalists at Euro 2924.

In general, Germany is too good for me to lose this match, so I would rather bet on them than on Denmark, which objectively looks weaker than Germany for the most part. Yes, there are some certain points stronger, but definitely not the whole team, unfortunately it is not the same level at all. But I will be glad to watch the match, where there will be intrigue
