Because Slovenia has the opportunity to be the best three team for four teams that will qualify. Then Slovenia was also lucky because the Danish vs Serbia match ended the same, namely a draw.
Excellent in a number of match statistics do not have an impact on the expected results. This is their worst form compared to the previous Euro and their performance at the 2022 World Cup.

England the team which was originally favored by the bookies with the best odds, but in three matches they were only able to win 1 victory and 2 draws.
Of the 3 Group C matches, the England squad was only able to score two goals.
A very different result from expected.

I think this particular group is the most interesting group right now because all the teams in the group are having 3 points, though I am still very surprised by the performance of the Belgium national team so far, they have played like an average team so far,  and just as you rightly pointed out, they have really disappointed almost everyone that expected them to win this group convincingly.

But as it stands now, I still expect them to beat the Ukrainian national team, because I believe that they are still better than the Ukrainian national team, but if ends in a draw, then I think the outcome of the other results will determine their faith, but I still believe that if it ends in a draw, the both teams can still make it to the next round as best loser, or possibly, the two other teams in the group that took third and fourth, if the both matches ends in a draw.

Yes I agree with you. When compared to other matches at this Euro, the Netherlands VS Austria match could be said to be the most exciting. The reason is, from the first minute of the match until the end of the match, both teams really exchanged attacks and neither gave up. Besides, Austria played better than we all expected, I think the Netherlands can definitely win this match. Considering the players the Netherlands currently has are very good. Even a top team like Francis was unable to beat the Netherlands in the previous match. However, in this match the Dutch lost their best performance, especially in defense. The reason is that in that match the Dutch defense really looked very porous. In fact, of the 3 goals scored by Austrian players, 2 of them were hit by Dutch players' feet. So, if for example the Dutch defender is able to sweep clean or thwart the two goal opportunities, then it is certain that the Netherlands will win this match. However, the problem was, the Dutch defender actually made a mistake by bouncing the ball into his own net and ultimately caused the Netherlands to lose this match.

And currently the Netherlands is in 3rd place, fortunately the Netherlands is guaranteed to still be able to qualify for the round of 16 with the best 3rd place route. Because it can be confirmed that the Dutch position is in 3rd place, far superior to the other 3rd ranked teams.

It's natural if you don't pay too much attention to Group E because Group E is not filled with strong enough teams. So most of us don't pay much attention to this group except to place bets. Only Belgium was initially the favorite in this group but in fact the quality of Belgium was below everyone's expectations. Even relatively ordinary. But Belgium still has a chance to qualify for the round of 16. As long as they can win today or even if they only get a draw. Because in terms of the number of goals scored and conceded, Belgium is superior to Ukraine.

Well, it would indeed be more interesting if it turned out that all of today's matches ended in a draw. But I think the possibility is quite small. Because in this group the percentage of wins and losses is much higher. because there has been no draw so far.

After seeing the result, now I don't really expect France and England will become the champion.

The best three countries are Spain, German and Portugal.

I think Spain might become the champion, they're playing as a team instead of relying on star players. It's true they have Rodri, Yamal and Pedri, but the rest of them aren't. Both German and Portugal are still dominated with star players, but I'm happy to see German now playing like the same German I know in the past.

I didn't pay much attention to Group E. And yes, it turns out you are right that the points earned in Group E are quite unique. Because all teams have got the same points, namely 3 points. And talking about Group E we will look at the Belgium vs Ukraine match today and also the Slovakia vs Romania match. And actually Belgium is my favorite for today. Their captain, De Bruyne, must be able to win today. And I'm also looking forward to Lukaku's performance, which is actually not that good at this Euro. And I hope he shows his abilities again, which can actually be even better. But I wouldn't dare to bet big because I also doubt them a little. but I imagine it would be something unique if in today's match all the teams in Group E got 1 point because of a draw. 

Group E is full of uncertainty in itself. The points are the same and one team will be eliminated. I don't know which team will be eliminated tonight, but the other 3 teams will manage to get out of the group. Group E was a mixed group and as the most exciting group, we will try to witness the results in the matches to be played tonight. It is very difficult to predict the team that will be eliminated, any team can be eliminated.

Yesterday's match actually didn't change anything. Because everyone shares 1 point. And it seems England isn't as good as I thought either. They were only able to win 1 time and 2 draws. And what is surprising is that Denmark and Slovenia each drew 3 times.

But the unique result is actually in Group E. Because we can see that all four teams managed to win 1 time and lose 1 time. All of them were equal with the same score, namely 3 points. Only the number of goals differentiates them. 

In my opinion, the Netherlands versus Austria match was also an entertaining and tense match. Yes, it's a shame that the Dutch were not able to take advantage of the opportunity well and it looks like there was tension in the Dutch players, but I predict that this happened, maybe the cause was because of Malen's own goal, while the Austrians were really calm and could organize their strategy well. which ultimately ensured their playing performance was maintained until the end of the match.

Yes, now the Netherlands has to swallow a bitter pill because many thought that the Netherlands would have great potential to win against Austria, but now the Netherlands has to be willing to drop its ranking to 3rd in Group D. Yes, now Austria has succeeded in surprising everyone because it beat the Netherlands with a score of 2-3

and now Austria really unexpectedly succeed in shifting the position of the Netherlands which is in 1st place but now Austria is leading in Group D. and the Netherlands is very unfortunate to have to sit in 3rd place in group D. but I am sure that the Netherlands will have the potential to qualify for The last 16 to be ranked 3rd best but of course Austria has now qualified for the last 16 and of course Austria really looked cool when they competed and to be honest, I personally also felt entertained by last night's match.

France did not try best in second half to beat Poland and they accepted to fall into a very tough branch of Euro 2024, with appearances of France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. In another branch, Italy and England can re-meet in quarter final if they both win in Round of 16 matches. 3 years ago, Italy beat England in Euro 2020 final match.

Denmark and Slovenia have to classify their second and third position based on their results in Euro 2024 qualification matches because all stats in Euro 2024 from two teams are the same. It is another coincidence that they were in same group qualification too and differences between them are from direct matches only.

Here is a temporary position information for third-placed teams so far before we have results from last two groups today.
https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/news/028e-1b3221d55b32-0a95528a80d5-1000--uefa-euro-2024-best-third-placed-teams/

Yes, this makes Austria even more firmly in first position. Austria's luck started with an OG by Malen in the 6th minute. Ah, this really disturbed the Dutch players' concentration a bit. But after that, wow, it's like nothing bad happened before. They managed to refocus on the match that still had to be played. In fact, in the end the match was quite tough and tight. Fighting over the position of the ball, even the difficulties for each club to advance and attack the opponent's defense are quite high. Just imagine, they do have quite a lot of opportunity to attack, but only a few opportunities for more intense attacks. In the end, Austria was able to take the lead and win after Sabitzer's final goal in the 80th minute.

Again and again, for some reason this group produces draw matches quite often. Even the last match is the same, it's the same series. And without a single goal from the four clubs. Ha ha

Even though Denmark was quite more dominant than Serbia and they also attacked quite significantly. but what happens is, they fail and fail again. Even though there are many predictions stating that Denmark should be ahead in this match, apparently they are still having difficulty breaking through Serbia's goal.


With the results of this development, England, Denmark and Slovenia will progress. And Serbia is out.

While the match was very intensive and getting more interesting, it was also getting more dramatic. I didn't believe from the beginning that Austria was going to top a group that France and Netherlands belonged to. Infact, at a time, every team was at risk, except Poland who already have had their fate decided. Since the group matches are this tough, it only shows how interesting the next stage of the competition will be. This season's Euro is so interesting.

England played like they are a mediocre team while in fact they have some big names in the squad, at least many players are star in their local club but they cant show something better. Scored 2 goals in 3 matches and win 1 match + 2 draw are bad result for a team like England imho. I thought they will be superior in the group stage because they have great squad especially for the forward side. If they keep playing like this, I doubt they will go far in this tournament as they seems to have so hard time to win a game although their opponent is not considered as a hard team in this tournament.

Slovenia target was accomplished because i know since the beginning of match they were targetting draw result from England so that's why Slovenia was let England to control the game and focus to their defense and this strategy was successful to make England deadlock but for England although this result is makes them to qualified as group champion but their performance cannot be says impressive because during this match England has got so many opportunities to scores but none of them can became a goal and i think for next match England should be dare to putting Harry Kane into the bench and replace him to other players because during this tournament Kane performance is dissapointing

I have no idea why some of strong teams performing dissapointing for the current tournament because Italy, France, and Netherlands have to hard struggling to qualified to the next round but it's very surprising to see Austria performance because i thought they will not be qualifed because they are into hell group with France and Netherlands but Ralf Rangnick can fliped people prediction and he has successful to makes this team to qualified to round of 16

I was also predicting most games will be without less goals or no goals at all because the competition will be intense due to each nation having everything at stake now. England this tournament has shown that they lacked the ability to score goals not that they don’t have does players but because there is no creativity at all. I don’t know why many people actually are surprised but Southgate formation especially the midfield combo is a big reason why they aren’t gonna score goals. The midfield is just packed with runners or energy without creativity. Bellingham might gotten away with many goals at Real Madrid but he is definitely not a creative midfielder, he lacks that creativity. When England went to last World Cup they suffered for the lack of creativity with James Maddison been the only one but this season they have the in form Cole Palmer and Southgate thought it was unwise to start.

I don’t see England progress afar with this combination, he needs to make a choice about his central midfield position, today he testrone Gallagher and Kobbie Mainoo, something which is clear who the better or most calm player his.


Seriously Denmark haven’t begin this tournament in a fashion everyone expected from them but it was certainly a good fight to be able to stay in the tournament, having three draws isn’t bad because I could remember Portugal going through same route just to go ahead and won it in the end.

I cannot really pin point exactly why France has this poor performance so far in this competition, they are one of the favorite to win the competition from my initial permutation, but the results so far has been very unfortunate, if not for the fact that Netherland lost 3-2 to Austria, France would have nearly gone out on group stage, though there are still some arguments that technically Netherlands haven't really gone out of the competition, that there is still hope for them, but Poland are out already.

I really would love to still watch Netherland in this competition because they've so far shown that they have the fire power and they've been very impressive with their playing pattern, unlike France with the caliber of players they came with in this competition but still struggling to win match.

I'm even trying to understand what is happening in the group C teams only England has been able to win and get 3 points in that group and today all two games also end in a goaless draw, imagine Demank and Slovenia today played another draw and this has made it 3 straight draws each of them have had.

Today, France missed the opportunity to secure first place in the group by drawing 1-1 with Poland. During the group stages, France managed to score only two goals—one from a penalty and the other as an own goal by their opponent. Despite Poland having already been eliminated from the tournament, they put up a strong struggle in this match. Even though they fell behind 1-0 during the match, their performance was commendable.

England were lucky that the won their first game otherwise they have been really poor in this competition but I don't see them advancing passed the round of 16 if they do not improve.
from my point of view because the coach decided to keep the young and hungry players on the bench, they could not win this game because if he had started players like Mainoo and Cole Palmer or even Gordon's , they would have wanted to make a difference.

Well this will not be forgotten for Croatia as it is likely to be for the time being as Mattia Zaccagni will not be out of their memories given the brilliant goal where his delivery was really into the corner which was very difficult to stop.

It's a nightmare for Croatia but it can't be changed for now because after all, Mattia Zaccagni's one goal in this match made them have to give up hope in the same shocking way they showed in the last world cup.

For Italy they are very good but for now compared to some of the other clubs that qualified like Germany or Spain, it seems like Spalletti should try to explore more about the strength of the current squad because I think this is still not enough if their target is to win the euro.


The star-studded club and players with above-average skills again did not find their best performance and of all the groups in this Euro, in my opinion Group C is the most boring group even though my previous expectations were that England would dominate because of the different strengths.
But what happened in these 3 matches really did not reflect that they were a big team and a favorite candidate in this Euro.

From the initial match, Southgate's scheme was not clear, which actually hampered the players to get a good performance and from the 3 matches that occurred in the group phase it seemed that Southgate was still very difficult to do his job well.
In the end, the same context happened again where for now what destroyed England was not the opponent but indeed the tactics of Southgate, who was unable to maximize the great players available at this time.

Another surprise for group D Austria's is at the top standings even though there's France and the Netherlands there lol
