France today will play against Poland and of course in my opinion this match is certainly an exciting match because of course in this match we will see the ability of Mbappe and his friends to fight to the maximum to reach 1st place in group D. But I want to ask you all whether France will win against Poland or not? but according to my predictions, France will have great potential to win against Poland, but of course the match will be fiercely competitive because of course Poland will not be easy to beat because of course every team will fight to the maximum.

today the Netherlands and Austria will play toobut of course the Netherlands must be able to win this match because if they lose of course the Netherlands will potentially fail to advance to the last 16 of course if France wins against Poland. because the Netherlands has been ahead of France in terms of goals which ultimately ranked 1st but of course the Netherlands will also have the maximum to fight to maintain its current position and I am sure the Netherlands will not underestimate Austria because when they competed against France the score was narrow 0-1 and that's because Wober's own goal.

and today I am sure there will be many people betting on France winning and certainly there will also be many people betting on Holland winning. It seems like I personally want to bet on France and the Netherlands winning in the later match. What do you think, do you want to bet on France and the Netherlands winning?

Unfortunately, the coach of Croatia did not learn anything from the previous two games and started again with practically the same players who are simply too old and in poor shape to be able to compete with any serious team.

In addition to all that, it was evident that the Dutch referee has his favorite, he did not award at least 10+ fouls by the Italian players, and on the other hand, for each similar foul, he gave a yellow card to the Croatian players. The highlight of his bad performance is the addition of even 8 minutes of compensation for which no one but him knows why - so we can say that in this case Croatia was damaged by a very bad referee.

However, when you look at all three games, the conclusion is clear, coach Dalic persistently refuses to refresh the team with young players and I think that he is the only one responsible for the failure of the national team. Unfortunately, he still has two more years on his contract and apparently resigning is not on his mind, so we can expect Croatia to continue to play poorly in the next competition of the League of Nations, which starts in a little more than two months.
What I was really disappointed with was that the extra minutes were too long. If the extra time had not been given so long then Croatia might still have won and progressed to the round of 16. And I think this is one of the worst Euros for Croatia. Because everyone predicted that Croatia was one of the strong teams before the Euro started but now they haven't even managed to get 1 win from 3 matches in the group phase.

Today there are several matches that should be quite easy to predict. And yes, betting on the favorite team also seems to be the right choice. Like the matches France vs Poland and Netherlands vs Austria. my favorites are Dutch and French.

Both teams fought until the end and the defending champions would almost have been eliminated early if the goal in stoppage time had not come, and for Croatia, it was very painful, even Luca Modric said that sometimes football is very cruel and that was an expression of his disappointment because he couldn't return to play for the next European Cup, his age would prevent it.
They fight hardly and did not give up but only one team can smile after all. It's Italy but they had to live with fear until very last seconds. Croatia can say they were unlucky but they must see why they let Albania and Italy scored two very late goals and steal 4 points from Croatia.

Generally Croatia luckily got a gift from Fratessi, an alternative player from Italy and got a leading goal but they failed to secure this advantage till the final whistle. Luka Modric felt painful because it's hard to accept such situations in two consecutive matches that changed all destiny for Croatia in this tournament.
As well as being the goal that destroyed Croatia's hopes at EURO this year. The nightmare of Modric and his friends must be accepted quite painfully. I also didn't expect there to be a goal in the last minute. This was clearly a crucial goal that the Croatian players could not predict, especially in the back line which received a counterattack through a quick breakthrough. It's a shame that Croatia had to be eliminated early, group B was indeed the most difficult group among the other groups. With Italy as Spain's companion, in the next phase the giant teams will face a much bigger threat.

[...] Modric missed a penalty in this match, but he made up for it with the goal he scored a few minutes later.

As it should be, overcomes his mistakes is a must for him. In my opinion, Modric's kick was too relaxed, so it could easily be predicted and then pushed over by Donnarumma, Luka Modric should have used the penalty opportunity made by Frattesi's mistake. But unfortunately, in the end Italy was able to equalize the score of this match through a beautiful kick given by Zaccagni through a pass given by Calafiori.
Croatia cannot blame Modric for their failure to qualify for the next round just because of the missed penalty, because after all Modric has paid for the mistake with the goal he created, Modric was able to bring his team to play quite well and even after Modric was replaced towards the end of the second half, Croatia had many opportunities that should have been well utilized by Croatian players but in fact Croatian players are relatively often thrown away Chances and time in the match, Croatia who were indeed superior in the match until extra time were more relatively satisfied with a 1-goal advantage so that they forgot that the Italian team could rise before the end of the match, but even so, of course we should appreciate the hard work done by the Croatian squad in the match although in the end they had to hope for luck in the best 3rd position at the moment.

Currently, Croatia still has a chance to qualify from the third best position at this time, because indeed they can still compete with other teams that are currently in the best position and hope that the team that is currently in the 3rd position is the best and hope that other teams get bad results so that they can make Croatia at least get 1 place among the 4 teams that qualify through the best 3rd position,  Croatia must expect the Czech Republic to lose to Turkey and also Slovenia to lose to England with a score of more than 3 goals.

I hope you watched the Croatia - Italy match. It was a good match.
Italy scored a beautiful goal in the last minute at 90+8, it was truly incredible.
I didn't think the Italians would score, but they did and advanced to the next round.

Luka Modric made European history. Luka Modric became the oldest player to score a goal in the history of the European Championship.
The Croatia vs. Italy match was a real drama. It seemed like Italy wouldn't be able to do anything, but suddenly they scored the crucial goal and advanced to the Round of 16. Watching Luka Modric was especially interesting. He was so nervous for his team that he was chewing on his jersey.

I think the referees added too much extra time, a whole 8 minutes. I didn't keep track, but it seemed to me that there weren't that many stoppages in the match. Nevertheless, it was the 8th minute of added time that saved Italy.

I had predicted a 1-0 victory for Croatia and thought my prediction would come true, but it didn't.
In fact, if Modric can take advantage of the penalty kick he has, Croatia can win this match. Unfortunately Modric didn't manage to make good use of it. But then Modric made amends by scoring a goal in the 54th or 55th minute. Well, this was one of the most dramatic and very interesting matches at this Euro. But unfortunately Croatia failed to maintain their lead in the added time. Because Italy also made a dramatic action by equalizing the score in the added minute of time. Maybe if the match hadn't gone into extra time then Croatia would have won. But yes, the long minutes of added time meant that Croatia failed to get full points and yes, Croatia seems to have failed to advance to the round of 16 with this result. And actually, I personally hope that Croatia can qualify. I feel sad about the result of the match.

Very poor Modric. But it is Croatia's bad luck that makes them have to accept the reality, even though some say Croatia still has the chance of being ranked third best, but that is almost impossible because Croatia was only able to get 2 points from 3 matches.
For Modric, qualifying for the round of 16 was a valuable achievement for him which could be said to be his last Euro even though Modric's goal against Italy was a record as the oldest goalscorer at Euro 2024.

Yes. I also predicted that the 1-0 score would last until the referee blew the final whistle, but Zaccagni's beautiful goal changed the situation including my bet.

Their hitting styles are exactly the same and the beauty of the goal is at the same level. This goal at an unexpected time made the match even more exciting.
If you don't know, Zaccagni considered Del Piero as his idol but I see this goal of Zaccagni is more difficult than the goal of Del Piero. Both are beautiful goals but there is much pressure for Zaccagni  than for Del Piero.

If Del Piero did not score, nothing serious happens because that semi final between Italy and Germany nearly ended. With Zaccagni, if he did not score that goal, Italy would have lost that match. He is very determined with that shot and I believe that many players will try to make a cross pass, not make a shot like Zaccagni.

Unfortunately, the coach of Croatia did not learn anything from the previous two games and started again with practically the same players who are simply too old and in poor shape to be able to compete with any serious team.
I saw the coach tried to replace attacking players with defensive players and it's fair to say Italy nearly did not find their opportunities to score goal. They created only two considerable good chances and luckily exited a loss at very last seconds of the match. Croatian players tried to block Calafiori but failed and it opened a big space for Zaccagni to make his shot.

That beautiful goal can be compared with two goals for Italy in World Cup 2006, scored by Grosso and Del Piero against Germany in semi final match. It is more similar to a second goal scored by Del Piero.

In the second half and the last minutes of the match, the game started to stop a lot and there were a lot of fouls in the last minutes. I think the time given was normal.

Italy has been trying their best and they deserve to win the game because the way they showed in the match against Croatia is very impressive, Italy even missed some chances in the match if not Italy would have won the game before the game ended because Croatia don’t know how to defend against their opponents, to be honest support Croatia in this tournament but after seeing the way they played from the beginning of the league I don’t like it and I’m very happy that Italy qualifies.

The match between Croatia and Italy yesterday was very unpredictable and there was so much struggle on the side that would win, though Croatia performance was very encouraging and if they had given the penalty they cancelled they would have win the match, though they never believed Italy will be able to equalize the goal the way they did on the last minutes, so it was very sad for them after defending the goal from the middle of the match till 90 minutes and suddenly everything changes, so congratulations to Italy because they have qualified for another round so hopefully from the performance of Italy so far they have the chance to last longer on this league.

What a drama there was in the Croatia - Italy match. Thanks to the last minute of extra time, Italy prevented Croatia from leaving the groups with a last-gasp goal.

Croatia did not even understand what they were facing at that moment, it was very strange because they were not expecting the referee to finish the match and they were focused on what the Italy team did. Modric missed a penalty in this match, but he made up for it with the goal he scored a few minutes later.

Croatia's match against Italy was very dramatic and to be honest, it's a shame that Croatia couldn't make good use of the golden opportunity they had. Yes, of course this 1-1 draw brought good luck to Italy, who of course qualified for the round of 16.

Yes, of course Italy was really lucky, he was able to take advantage of opportunities well in the final minutes of the match and of course Zaccagni really became a hero for Italy because he managed to score the goal that made the score 1-1. However, so far Croatia has fought optimally and Modric, even though he is 38 still young, is still playing optimally and well. Yes, even though he failed to execute the penalty kick, his failure was made up for by the goal he scored not far from when the penalty kick was taken

Of course, many Croatian fans were disappointed with the result of the match, but of course now Croatia must be willing to swallow the bitter pill of being defeated by Italy. Honestly, I don't know whether Croatia will qualify for the round of 16 or not, but honestly I hope Croatia can get a ticket to the round of 16, namely as winners of the 3 best groups. I think if Croatia progresses to the round of 16, the disappointment of Croatian fans will be alleviated.

Yes, but now Italian fans must be happy because their team has qualified for the round of 16. and I saw lots of Italian fans who were happy because their country had qualified for the round of 16.

yesterday it was a very tough match for Italy, really painful, as an Italian I would really like to thank Zaccagni who believed in us until the end and scored a beautiful goal and then I would personally like to praise Calafiori because he was truly a sumptuous player and obviously the goalkeeper then thanks to the tournament that practically always saved us Gigio Donnarumma truly a great goalkeeper now the round of 16 against Switzerland will be a very difficult match

That's a personal record that will probably last a long time and he was also man of the match in that match, but everything would be more beautiful if his country could qualify for the knockout rounds but he had to accept defeat for his country's national team, but he is one of the legends of Croatian football with all his achievements with his country's national team

Is anyone familiar with the detailed qualification rules for the four best third-placed teams?
What happens if two, or more, teams have an equal number of points and identical goal difference? Is there going to be a draw, or are other metrics to be considered, i.e. more goals scored etc?

Btw, it's a pretty neat system, when every team has at least theoretical chances of qualifying up until the final round.
I don’t know, I haven’t seen this used at the final stages yet. I think that now it will become interesting for many, whether Croatia will advance further thanks to this system or not. Yesterday's draw was not unexpected, from the very beginning it was clear that a draw would be enough for Italy, and they were moving towards this result, maybe the penalty that Modric missed was not enough, or maybe they needed to play more carefully in defense in the last minutes.

Italy was makes me shocked that i thought they will not be qualified because until minutes 90+7 they still unable to equalized the score but everything was change when Calafiori has solo run from Italy defensive lines and he gives the ball to Zaccagni which makes Zaccagni can equalized the scored even i have to says this is one of beautiful goal during this tournament however seeing Italy performance i personally can says they still unable to reach to their top form but at least Italy still able to qualified although they have to works hard to did that

In Group B besides Italy who qualified to the round of 16 we can see Spain also can qualified as group champion and just like people predicted that although for the current Euro Cup Spain squad was dominated by young players but so far during group stages they are still consistent and yesterday they have won with narrow score from Albania 1-0 this makes them can collect 9 points from 3 matches and the most impressive is Spain still not conceded goals however looking forward to see Spain upcoming opponent but apparently they still have to wait the results matches from other groups but for Italy at round of 16 they will fight against Swiss

The goal from zaccagni makes me feel Dejavu with the goal from Del Piero, and assist from Alberto Gilardino at the 2006 World Cup Germany. And again, it's also happening in the same country. Italy is always full of surprises, but people doubted their ability to advance into the round of 16, and they made it to qualify for the round of 16. Italy breaks all of bad opinions about them.

Luka Modric made European history. Luka Modric became the oldest player to score a goal in the history of the European Championship.
A fantastic performance from a 38 years old player, and he paid what he missed when he failed to execute the penalty, but as he confirmed in his interview after the game against Italy, he would not retire from the national club. We may see him again at the world Cup in 2026.

I have said before that Croatia will not go far in this tournament and that is what happened to them yesterday, thank god they have been eliminated from the group stage if not it will be boring seeing them playing in the round of 16, Croatia doesn’t know how to defend against any opponents they face and that is one of the reasons they have been eliminated, the Croatia players will be playing as if they don’t have any young players among them, luka modric miss the penalty and he made it to them by scoring goal immediately after he missed the penalty but that doesn’t mean that he has a good performance in the game because as one of the best midfielder in the world, you are not supposed to be missing penalty, modric use to miss penalty even in Real Madrid and it will affect the team sometimes when the team needs winning.

Italy has been trying their best and they deserve to win the game because the way they showed in the match against Croatia is very impressive, Italy even missed some chances in the match if not Italy would have won the game before the game ended because Croatia don’t know how to defend against their opponents, to be honest support Croatia in this tournament but after seeing the way they played from the beginning of the league I don’t like it and I’m very happy that Italy qualifies.
