Yes I understand, so what about this scenario: Albania was defeated by Spain and Croatia drew against Italy does that mean Group B will have 3 teams qualify for the next phase?

In that case, the third place team of group B will be Croatia with only 2 points and they will still have a small chance to qualify to the next round.
Whether the third placed team of group B will advance to the next round or not depends on the results of other groups too.

I'm a little doubtful about the rules in the group stage because in other groups I saw teams that collected 2-3 points would qualify for the next phase or 3 teams will qualify, the same as in group C Slovenia and Denmark have a chance to qualify.

The rule is very simple. The best four third-placed teams will qualify to the next round.

What about a different scenario where Albania beat Spain (although that's unlikely) but the fact we saw Switzerland vs Germany where they struggled to score with their main squad although at the end in the 90+ minutes they equalized, well this scenario is not what we want to happen for Italy.

Even if Albania wins the match against Spain, a draw will still be enough for Italy to qualifty to the next round and they will be eliminated from the tournament if they lose the match.

Another good day for Spain to get another 3 points in Group B. Playing against Albania is something that will be easy for them. Because Albania may not seem to be as tough as Italy. Meanwhile, Spain managed to get a win from their last game by getting lucky enough to escape the defensive line of Italy. I don't think Croatia will be lucky this time. This is because currently, we can see that Croatia and Albania have the same strength of performance which made them have a draw last game. Either Croatia or Italy must have a win today to be qualified for the next stage.

I don't think Spain will have much difficulty in this match. Albania is a much weaker team than them, I will be really surprised if we see a surprise result and Albania wins this match.
The real good match is the match between Italy and Croatia. Even if Italy draws, they will advance to the next round, so they will play in a controlled manner. I think they will try to win the match without taking too much risk

I agree with your view, an interesting match is Italy versus Croatia, because both will fight for tickets to the next round. Meanwhile, the Spain versus Albania match was not that interesting because Spain was already in a comfortable position. Italita as the defending champions are the favorites, but their current performance is not very promising, so Croatia can take advantage of the opportunity to act beyond expectations. While the Spain versus Albania match seems to be going according to predictions, there are no significant difficulties for Lamine Yamal and colleagues. It would be a shame if Italy were eliminated early, Spalletti had to boost the players' confidence after losing to Spain.

Not so sure Italy will win easily with Croatia... Modrid and Co. still need the points they trailed before, so a win for Italy and a loss for Albania means all 3 teams are likely to qualify.
What about a different scenario where Albania beat Spain (although that's unlikely) but the fact we saw Switzerland vs Germany where they struggled to score with their main squad although at the end in the 90+ minutes they equalized, well this scenario is not what we want to happen for Italy.

This is decisive because looking at the conditions of Spain against Albania, it is likely that Albania will only be able to get 1 point or indeed not get any points at all, so this will be a good situation for Croatia if they still want to qualify for the next round.
Winning is a fixed price because then they can shift Albania and Italy in position 2 and qualify for the last 16. But it seems that this is still quite complicated to do because Italy is a team that is not easy to lose.

Croatia in this Euro is a little hampered in terms of performance and this is very different from what they showed in the world cup some time before but indeed if they want to keep hope then it's time for them to rise in this last match because it would not be very funny if for this euro they are at the bottom of the standings and only get 1 point.

If Croatia wins the match against Italy (assuming Albania won't win), Italy will be the third placed team of group B with 3 points and they will have a great chance to qualify to the next round, but there is no guarantee of that and it will still be possible that only 2 teams from group B advance to the knockout stage.

With Spain current strength I am very optimistic that they can overcome Albania game today. So it's actually quite easy to guess the final result

As I said before, I have no doubts about Spain abilities, it's just that they have the choice not to force themselves to chase points because whatever the result of the match, Spain is guaranteed to qualify. Most coaches use this strategy when they are in a safe position then they will keep their mainstay players for more important matches meaning they don't want to take risks related to injury or other reasons. On the one hand, I believe Spain certainly doesn't want to lose because it will have an impact on their performance in the next match, so basically I can't predict how Spain will play today.

Well, I love your idea. I think I'll buy it if I was Julian Nagelsmann. That will definitely help to keep the squad fresh for the knockout stages.
They're my favorite country to win this Competition.

Nagelsmann didn't want to make changes in the usual lineup. However I noticed a thing later that Germany still didn't secure the 1st position in Group A. After seeing that I found this decision sensible.

Because if Germany finished the group at the 2nd position their opponent was most probably going to be Spain. Grin

Quote

I'm beginning to think they'll settle for a draw against Switzerland. If the Swiss can get that, they'll automatically get w place in the next round. This is not a do or die affair game for Germany. But let's wait to see what plans Julian Nagelsmann has for the German national team.

They had serious issues against Switzerland. Conceding first made things harder for Germany. They hardly got 1 point by a goal in the stoppage time. Sad

I assume there was some complacency among the players.

Quote

I'm beginning to think the Dutch national team will go far. They have a coach who won this same trophy and Competition years ago, I think the very first time Germany hosted this Competition. Let's see if history can repeat itself again. During big Competitions like this, you need experience.

Netherlands really seem decent. They could have beaten France as well considering how they played. There wasn't the same Netherlands from the qualifiers. They stood strong against France this time.

Italy does have great players in their national football squad but they still got totally dominated by Spain at their last match in terms of ball possession and the total number of goal attempts. Italy will need to improve their performance if they wish to progress to the next stage and I think the players of Italy will surely put up their best fight against Croatia today, I guess Italy will be able to beat Croatia at the final whistle to get the crucial 3 points.

I don't think they will allow themselves to get beaten twice and so they will ensure they get a win tonight but it's not going to be an easy feat because Croatia are also looking for an opportunity to remain on the competition so it's safe to say these two will duel it out for supremacy.
The last time these two met ended in a draw and history has it that Italy had a poor record against Croatia. Of the nine times the two have met, Croatia has won three and the rest ended in draws.
Though a draw will see Italy stay in the tournament, they can't afford to take chances as any mishap will mean Croatia progressing to the next round, as long as Albania doesn't beat Spain which will be a very unlikely event.

Yeah, on paper Spain is certainly better in all aspects and Spain have not conceded a goal so far but there is a possibility that Spain will play it safe to avoid injuries or other things so they just need a draw. On the other hand, Albania also had a good performance in the last 2 matches even though they only collected 1 point, but their efforts should be appreciated. Albania has the ability to carry out fast attacks this was proven when they scored the first goal in the last 2 matches unfortunately their weakness is defense.

Another match between Croatia vs Italy is of course the most interesting, if Croatia win then 3 teams from group B will go to the next round on the other hand, if Italy and Spain win then Group B only has 2 teams to qualify. Overall I predict there will be lots of goals in this match, at least 3 goals so as a gambler I will bet on both teams to score and over total goals. Do you think there will be any surprises in the group B matches? especially between Croatia vs Italy.

With Spain current strength I am very optimistic that they can overcome Albania game today. So it's actually quite easy to guess the final result, but we also can't rule out that Albania might be able to put up a fight and both teams will score equally. On the other hand the Italy vs Croatia match should be the most aggressive match, considering that Croatia must use all its strength to get 3 points. Italy has a very solid defense, even their rhythm of play has become more developed and they are able to take advantage of quick counter attacks. It could be considered that the Italy vs Croatia match is the only match for Croatia to get a chance.

Italy can get a draw and that will be enough for them, so I think Spalletti will focus on playing in defense. Croatia will have no choice but to attack, because they only need a victory, and before I would have said that Croatia might have a chance to win, but now they couldn’t even beat Albania, so there’s no point in talking about a victory over Italy, I think that Italy will not lose this game.

If Italy play today with the intention of getting a draw, I will consider that a very risky gamble that can cost them the qualification. What they should do is to go all out to win the match and where winning is not possible, they can settle for a draw. In other words, a win is their safe escape and they have to try to score first before if Croatia scores first, they might hold on to that goal until the end of the match. It is important to note that a win by Croatia will put Italy chances of qualifying at a very serious risk because there is no assurance that the will get the best loser spot. It is indeed a very serious match that will have more attention than the match between Albania and Spain.

Scotland and Hungary faced each other in the third week of Euro 2024. In the 90+10 minute, Hungary secured a 1-0 victory with a goal scored by Csoboth. With this result, Hungary, finishing third in Group A with 3 points after Switzerland, gained a significant advantage on their path to best third place. Both teams were effective in attack throughout the match, making it an enjoyable game to watch.

Apart from being fun to watch, the match was also a very painful match for Scotland because the goal in that minute was a goal that Scotland could not reply to because the game time was running out. So apart from being enjoyable, there was also deep pain for Scotland after the Scottish side were able to defend themselves from conceding in the early minutes of the match. And Scotland's defeat by a narrow score has also placed them in last place in group A of Euro 2024 because it was their last match for group A.

Here are my speculation:

Croatia vs Italy, draw.
Netherlands vs Austria, Netherlands to win.
France vs Poland, France to win.
Albania vs Spain, draw.

I think Italy and Croatia will ended goalless considering Croatia isn't an aggressive team, while Italy is a defensive team. For both Netherlands and France, it's clear both of them are strong. As for Albania vs Spain, it just a wild speculation.

In the real sense of today's game between Italy and Croatia, Italy doesn't have to beat Croatia to qualify from Group B, all they need is a draw match point to be at the second spot with 4 points, topping Albania and Croatia. However, Italy can hold onto Croatia to a draw match but it won't be an easy one for them to achieve because Croatia will give their best shot to make sure they have the 3 points. Anyway, it's 4 hours to the match. Hands fold, match tension on the rise on both teams that will succeed to qualify over the other. It can be Italy or Croatia

I don't know but something just tells me that game is gonna end being a draw well atleast that's my opinion although I feel Croatia can still step up their game and surprise the Italian by actually manouver their way to Victory, if they had some sort of tight defense line then I would have suggested that they would maybe hold back and absorb the pressure and maybe hit the Italian on a quick counter but with the rate at which they have conceive goals, I feel even if they score Italia can still comeback to score and even win the game.

Spain has guaranteed the top position in Group B after they secured 6 points; hence, whether it is a win or a loss for Spain against Albania, they have little motivation to play the game, and it gives advantages to Albania, which is highly motivated to win the game. In another game, and it's very feasible, Italy may lose to Croatia, and Albania seems to be able to get three points from Spain. Croatia seems to have become a very big obstacle for italy.

Italy may tumble to third place, but their chances of finishing second are really high. It is impossible to believe Italy will be able to defeat Croatia without a lot of effort.Italy lacks competent forwards; hence, the only option for it to win is with a little margin, and again, Croatia has the capacity to surprise it.

Bookmakers are currently quoting the Croatia - Italy game as:

3.15 - 3.15 - 2.44

and I must say that in this tournament Croatia looks much worse than 3.15. Italy is also not perfect, but I like 2.44 better. It seems to me that this game will end with Italy winning 1-0 or 2-0 since they have an advantage (a draw is enough for them) and they know how to defend.

When teams like Croatia and Italy meet, you always expect a lot of goals. However, the stakes are too high today, with a group exit at stake, so the teams won't take too many risks. This means that there will probably be few goals. Italy need a draw, but this will not give the Italians confidence. The Croatians will fight for the victory and this factor will give them extra strength. I think Croatia will win 1-0.

Maybe it used to be like that, although when I look at Italy's games, big scores happened quite rarely in their games, but now, when it looks like Croatia is already far from their peak, I don't expect Italy to concede a goal today. By the way, bookmakers disagree with me: BTTS is estimated as 1.90, total 0.5 over for Croatia is estimated as 1.44. To be honest, now it seems profitable to me to bet on a total under than 0.5 (for Croatia) with odds of 2.63.
