It really brings me joy and tears from happiness to see my national team discussed here for the first time.

Georgia is really lucky, Czechia almost beat them since Czechia have 24 shots and 12 on target, props to Mamardashvili i.e. Valencia's goalkeeper, he's tall, young and potential, maybe other big teams will interested to sign him.
Mamardashvili was the best in this match, he was phenomenal. Words aren't enough to describe he well he played in this match and I hope he will have a bright future in top football clubs. I think many teams will be interested in signing him.

Believe me, Portugal will destroy those guy, remember that Portugal has the best player in the world. Turkiye is a nothing team, they only beat weak country and their past history they almost never win any match.

SIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

It's very hard to admit but you are right, Portugal will really destroy us. Mamardashvili has his limits too, he alone can't protect the whole team. Our defence is not good, our midfield is not good, our attack is not good. We create moments, amazing moments but it looks like players are extremely unexperienced. There were 100% moment of goals and we failed, especially in the last minute, that was such a shame. But it's still an honor for us to play against one of the best footballer that history has ever seen, Cristiano Ronaldo. He has many fans here but the fanbase of Messi here is the biggest Cheesy
Btw never say never. We might beat them Cheesy

Ddi you actually watch the games? Or are you just looking at the results?  Cheesy
Our player failed miserable but he had a huge chance to score in the end and win the match.

The first goal given by the Czechs should have been valid, but unfortunately the referee decided that it was invalid through a VAR check. I'm confused, why was the goal disallowed, wasn't it clearly a goal?, because clearly from the replay we can see that it should have been a goal. I do agree that Georgia is really lucky, and their goal come from a penalty kick. However it was amazing to see the fierce match between Georgia vs Czech this time.
It was a handball.

After lost in the first match from Slovakia finally Belgium can bounce back today and they have won 2-0 from Bulgaria and this is important for them because after this result Belgium chances to advances to the next round would be very wide open especially now they can occupy 2nd place of Group Table and this is interesting because in Group E all of the teams in this group has same points and which mean we still don't know which team will be eliminated later because probably it will be determined on the last match of group stages but in Group E there are 3 teams who will be qualify so  i have to says Belgium journey to advances to round of 16 will be easy compared to other teams from different group because as long as they not finish at 4th place then Belgium will be qualify however for next match against Ukraine Belgium shouldn't be lost because if they lost then most likely Ukraine will overtake their current position but i am quite confident that Belgium can gets at least draw result from this match

2-0 for Belgium.

3 points should be almost certain at the moment.
Lukaku keeps no scoring in important matches.

Keep in mind that tomorrow we will have only 2 games and both at 21.00 CEST

Lukaku once again scored a goal today, but it was once again disallowed. Moreover, the offside was minimal. But nevertheless, he played a great game and made an assist.
Tomorrow we will see the first two games of the third gaming day, and since they are supposed to be decisive, they will take place at the same time (like all subsequent games of the third gaming day). For tomorrow the choice is obvious: Switzerland - Germany. Germany defends first place, while Switzerland claims first place and seems in no danger of losing second place as they have a better goal difference than Scotland.

I don't think Belgium deserved to win. Romania played very well, they deserved at least a draw. I expected a lot more from Belgium and especially from Bruyne, even though he scored a goal I didn't think his performance was that good in general compared to what he normally showes for City.
I choose Belgium among my favorite teams to win this tournament because of the players they have that have vast experience in several leagues across Europe, but their performances is not convincing to keep supporting them especially their goal scoring ability and chances creation. They have Doku, Trossard, and Lukaku in the front and they have good creative midfielders like De Bruyne and Tielemans; yet their goal scoring ability is not too good.

They win their first match of the tournament today against Romana, it was a tough encounter but experienced players in the Belgium team helped the team to get victory today, they have now leveled up with the other teams.

Group E is now one of the most dangerous group, all the teams have equal points which gives all of them equal chance to qualify to the next round of the competition.

The composition of the teams in Group E seems to have balanced strength, this can be seen from the number of points they have collected from the two matches they have played. Even though Belgium has a number of quality names in their squad, it doesn't look like they can do much at this Euro. In terms of their game, De Bruyne and his friends don't look very promising, their defeat to Slovakia still leaves big questions.

If you look at Belgium in terms of the depth of the squad they have, they even deserve to be on a par with teams like France, Germany, England and several other teams. But here, the difference is the mentality and experience they have. Belgium golden generation is on the decline, they are quickly losing top talents like Hazard.

I predict Belgium can advance to the quarter finals, the rest I'm a little doubtful. Apart from that, teams like Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands seem to be playing more aggressively than Belgium at the moment. However, it could be that my assumption is completely wrong, where that Belgium can advance to the final round by improving their performance in the next match.

Romania messed up their chances to get the equalizer on multiple occasions in the second half and that KDB goal was the final nail in the coffin for Romania. The final round of group stage games for group E is going to be very interesting to watch considering the fact that all teams in the group all have 3 points each. It's going to be a battle to see which two teams will make it to knockout stages as no one is safe after today's game not even Belgium. Germany kicking off final round of group stages means the competition is only going to get interesting from here.

Turkey vs Portugal was like a training match for Portugal. They had a very comfortable victory. Turkey's players had a hard time to stand throughout the match. They made a lot of erroneous passes and had a hard time to attack. Turkey does not give importance to defense, but they had important players on the offensive line today. Coach Montella made some controversial decisions in this match. Portugal completely controlled the game after scoring the 2nd goal. Portugal achieved its most comfortable victory in recent years in this match.

The match did not capture the interest of many people because Turkey's performance did not meet their expectations. I had hoped that Turkey would put up a strong fight against Portugal, even though Portugal was the favored team to win. Many people thought that Turkey would make it difficult for Portugal to score many goals. If Turkey had concentrated more on their defense, the final score might have been different, and Portugal might not have scored three goals.

Although Turkey's attacking players performed well, they were unfortunate not to score any goals.Both teams managed to create three shots on target, but the difference was that only Portugal was successful in turning their shots into goals. This disparity in converting opportunities made the match less exciting for those who were rooting for Turkey or expecting a more competitive game.

There are very enjoyable matches being played in Euro 2024. The games feature numerous goals and exciting plays, resulting in high viewing pleasure. However, the matches between England and France, the two most likely contenders to win the tournament, have been quite disappointing. Honestly, both teams are playing defensively, reminiscent of Greece in 2004. This seems rather peculiar to me.

An easy win for Portugal because Türkiye played very badly in today's match. Portugal was able to outwit the Turkish players mentally with the neat style of play they displayed. Silva opened the scoring and Bruno Fernandes sealed the win with a score of 0-3 which made Portugal comfortably lead the Group F standings.

Ronaldo didn't score a goal in today's match even though he had several good opportunities but his header or kick still didn't turn into a goal. Group F looks like Portugal will emerge as group winners if you look at their opponents who are not able to compete strongly enough.

I can't fully confirm your assumptions about Türkiye's game strategy. I agree that Turkey is not good defensively due to the lack of good communication between players, one of their own goals is proof. But Türkiye could endanger Portugal's defense where Türkiye could fire 11 shots and 3 of them were on target. The problem was that Türkiye did not manage to score a goal because Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa managed to save his goal well.

If you say Türkiye's match against Portugal is like training for Portugal, that's the same as underestimating Türkiye. They are not as bad as you say, this is a big tournament and every team will do their best. Losing after a match is normal, especially when Portugal has a lot of quality players in its squad.

I choose Belgium among my favorite teams to win this tournament because of the players they have that have vast experience in several leagues across Europe, but their performances is not convincing to keep supporting them especially their goal scoring ability and chances creation. They have Doku, Trossard, and Lukaku in the front and they have good creative midfielders like De Bruyne and Tielemans; yet their goal scoring ability is not too good.

The Belgian national team in terms of players and individual skills cannot be underestimated but indeed it is not accompanied by a coach's scheme which in my opinion seems quite monotonous.
Seeing Belgium's fate is actually not much different from England for this Euro where with players who are above average in skill problems, it cannot be maximized properly by the coach who makes their performance seem ordinary even though the players they have are very good.

Today's match they managed to get 3 points which made the competition in group E more interesting because 4 teams have the same points and only goal productivity makes a difference. The last match will certainly be a life and death match for them because in order to qualify for the next phase, they must be able to win 3 points to ensure themselves comfortably in the third match later and it will obviously be very interesting to wait.

Portugal was 0-3 ahead of Türkiye, Bruno scored the third goal for Portugal after receiving a spoiled assist from Ronaldo. This was a good victory to maintain until the end, but it does not rule out the possibility of additional goals because Portugal did not reduce their attacking tension.
Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes scored goals in this match. Another goal was own goal of Turkish player (Samet Akaydin). 3 goals is enough for Portugal to win the match and stays in the top of the table. In this match, Portugal showed the experience is more important than the confident. Although Turkish players feel confident to fight with Portugal players, Portugal players show them how to play effectively. Turkish players only could make shot attempts, but they failed to score a single goal. Portugal defense also looked easier to handle Turkish attackers. Meanwhile Turkish defenders looked very messy in fighting with Portugal attackers. This match showed us that Portugal team has quality squad and knows well to play in Euro matches.

Regarding some comments regarding Ronaldo's lack of involvement in Portugal's attack scheme, it feels like this is just part of the game strategy. Ronaldo has not been used as a target man in the last few matches, he only opens up space while other players use space to score goals. It's not true what you feel, even here Ronaldo doesn't need to score a goal to win the match.
No problem, those bad comments only motivated more Ronaldo.
Sure, Ronaldo isn't too obsessed to score many goals. You're right, he prefers to play wisely, he opens the chance of other players.
I think in this way, Ronaldo can be more useful for the team. If he only targeted to score goals, he may fail and be removed from the main lineup.

What happened today between the Portugal and Turkey is an incredible one. Having watched the match, it is obvious that Portugal had a balance throughout the game only that Fernandez played an immature game during the first half and did not act well when he should.  But I was so impressed with the level of maturity that was played by Ronaldo in the second half which made Fernandez the goal scorer when Ronaldo had the opportunity and the experience to make the goal, he didn't hesitate to take the move of passing it to Fernandez to score the goal. I think, football is a game of experience and humility and Ronaldo was able to prove both today with this moves.

I feel like Turkey has a weak defense and is not well organized to tackle or defend the efforts of the Portuguese. This also led to the miscommunication that caused the embarrassing Own Goal caused by the Samet Akaydin. If Turkey wishes to go far in this tournament, they must work towards it and not otherwise.
Bruno Fernandez, Bernando Silva and Joao Cancelo were taught how to play unselfishly by Ronaldo. In this match, even though Portugal wins, to be honest, there are too many selfish people in this team, which will be the biggest obstacle to really being able to continue to progress further. Relying on individual ability even though many of his teammates were free to receive passes but forced him to dribble. Ronaldo can actually score goals but he prefers to pass, like it or not players like Bruno and Cancelo must realize that in the future they have to play for the team, not for themselves. For Turkey, it was natural that they lost but they never stopped trying to break through the defense which was closely guarded by Pepe, an old figure who was still very on fire at the back.

I won a small bet I placed today on Portugal with odds of 1.64
It's a good thing I didn't bet on Cristiano Ronaldo's goal hehe, I almost included it in the bet
I'm excited about the Portuguese team, they could go far again in the Euro, maybe a semi-final  Grin


That was due to lack of awareness and communication from the goalkeeper and the defender. I have witnessed cases like this and no communication between them cost it.


Poor Akaydin, one of the worst own goals I've ever seen
Up until that point I thought it would be a very equilibrated match, but with an own goal like that it's very discouraging for the whole team

But I believe Turkey will qualify anyway

It was really funny when the defender passed the ball with full confidence that the goalkeeper will get it but things went the other way but my problem is why is it that Ronaldo is always complaining when the ball is not given to him the way he wanted? Is really bad for the team I must say and don't get me wrong about the Ronaldo stuff, no hate but this guy is not letting the other guys play freely and it mustn't have to be him all the time, when Cancelo passed the ball that led to the own goal he wasn't happy but let's see if he'll change in this second half, that's if he can.

That was due to lack of awareness and communication from the goalkeeper and the defender. I have witnessed cases like this and no communication between them cost it.

Cristiano Ronaldo is always hungry ASF to score more goals, yes that behavior turns out a good mood to bad and also, Joào Cancelo should have also made a good pass nevertheless. It's reasons why he is a professional and should have been able to work on the weight of his pass. Congratulations to them for the three points.

The same goes to Belgium who I thought would not qualify anyways after that first disappointing lose, I want to see how well they cope during the last game of th group stage.d

This should be the most complicated group in this tournament with strange and inconsistent result. If Belgium maintain their lead against Romania, it will mean that each of the teams would have won and lost one match making them all to be at the same point with Romania being at the top base on goal difference depending on if the match end in this one goal to nil. Consequently,  no one is sure of qualifying as the last leg will be the decider. Who would have imagined that the qualification of Belgium in the same group with Ukraine, Romania and Slovakia will be uncertain?


As it is Belgium will be topping the group with the 2nil and I believe they would've score another to make it 3 but they seem to be missing chances upon chances, I hope they won't continue with this when they get to the round of 16. Nobody would even imagine the Romania side making it hard for both Ukraine and Belgium, they played well but the Belgium players are too fast coupled with the fact that they (Belgium) have the play maker KDB. The Belgium team don't have players who play in bigger clubs neither do they have over hyped players but they still deliver on like the 3 Lions, it would be interesting to see both countries come against each other maybe in the round of 16 or the quarter finals.

Belgium have really declined in this tournament this time around, this will be their second and the have zero point which make them stay at the bottom of the table, do you think the can still make because the still have two matches remaining including this one, will Romania too give up their chances away just like that,

What is your thoughts?
Belgium is currently playing a good and defensive game with he a higher ball possession ever since they scored their first goal by Youri Tielemans at 2 minutes into the game, which was a very good start as a remedy to their last defeat against Slovakia few days ago. But with the way the match is going, I think this game is likely to end Draw if Belgium makes any slightest mistake, due to the fact that both countries need this 3 points to move top at the group stage. But however, lets watch and see how it goes, as I'm pretty sure this game is likely to ends either draw or home win in favour of Belgium.
