I read some social media posts about this event mentioning there have been 6 own goals so far at the EURO 2024. I wonder if there are sports betting platforms that offer special markets like own goals under or over 0.5. If yes, what are the usual odds? I checked Shuffle.com and Stake.com but couldn't find any. I'm expecting more than 100x for this kind of special market. Maybe Spain can do it again against Albania. lol
I knew Turkey couldn't do much in this match. Their self-confidence increased a lot in the previous match, but the team is not a good team, they are very young and everyone can feel their inexperience. If you make such simple mistakes against a team like Portugal, you will concede three such goals. They could have even conceded more goals, they will have to be more careful in the next match
Turkey's confidence slumped during the match with Portugal their defense was a bit weak where they made a blunder which ended up being the second goal for Portugal which is clearly not something that is expected but Turkey still has a chance to fight the Czech despite the draw because I don't feel sure Georgia will win against Portugal.I see that Turkey has tried several times in the attack but it still failed, we know that Portugal's defense has a famous defender who is experienced so it will not make mistakes and is strong for that line.
I will not be discouraged because Turkey can still qualify with Portugal.
If they doesn't make a ridiculous mistake, I think Turkey will advance to the next round. The victory they got in the first match is very valuable, it is not a dream for them to advance to the next round thanks to that victory. Portugal will win the next match, I don't think they will make a mistake. If Turkey manages to draw in the next match, it will take part in the next round. But their defense today was very bad, if they continue to play like that they will lose the next game too
Turkey always have a potential to upset big teams. But the problem is, their defending isn't in good condition at the moment. We saw this clearly in the Georgia game. If there was a more capable team as an opponent, probably Turkey would lose points. Roberto Martinez also made a statement pointing this weakness. He would like to control the game for sure by overwhelming the opponent.
There is a chance that we might not see Arda Güler in the starting eleven of Turkey too. He is said to be tired. This would be an important loss of dynamism for the team.
I feel like Portugal won't lose again but there might be a chance for a draw. It depends on how strong Turkey will answer in the attacking line.
I totally agree to most of the point you pointed out because it's very visible for all to see , that in as much as this Turkish team can be very talented, their major problem they are actually going to face is their weakness in their defensive set up, because if their defensive performance today is as the game against Georgia, they will be brutally punished at the back, because the firepower of Georgia is nothing compared to the firepower of Portugal.There is a chance that we might not see Arda Güler in the starting eleven of Turkey too.

I feel like Portugal won't lose again but there might be a chance for a draw. It depends on how strong Turkey will answer in the attacking line.Secondly, I think that the Turkish team will be very much cautious in their approach to this game, because they actually don't have the talent to go toe too toe with this Portugal team, I think they will play more on the counter attack, but if they think otherwise and went toe too toe against Portugal, it's definitely not going to end well for them, with the kind of weak defensive performance I have seen from them.
Lastly, if their is any truth in this story that Arda guler isn't going to feature in this match, it's definitely going to be a sad one too me, because this is the type of games that keeps you at the edge of your seat especially when all the top quality players are all available, but it's definitely going to be a fascinating encounter between them no doubt.
However, the issue at Georgia was that they were attacking with their defenders almost all the way on Georgia defense line, they attacked with nearly all 10 players, sometimes only keeping one defender back that's it, so counter attacking was an issue, but their defense when settled is amazing. The problem at offense is that they literally had no striker at all, and while wings, midfields and everything is awesome, when you have no striker, that is an issue.

I think they won't have any problems with Czech Republic, at least they won't lose to them, and a draw will be enough to go further, they are now one point ahead. Despite the fact that Turkey lost today with a crushing score, they played more than decent, I don't know what exactly they lacked, but they looked okay, if you look at the statistics, you can say that they are not far behind Portugal.
After all this criticism, Montella will have to make the right choices in the Czech Republic match, which is our last chance. I do not think he will have the courage to set up a different game plan.
In this match, Ronaldo showed how ripe a player he is by making Fernandes score the goal when he could have scored and doing it without even thinking. We could have been better against Portugal in this match, if only the right squad had been chosen. Portugal played well and deservedly won.

Their counter-attacks were good but Portugal had the experience and the talent for the Euros to stop them in their tracks and a couple of times Turkey tried on both sides (albeit the left) but there was Pepe and Nuno Mendes to keep them at bay.
Their spirit began to fade when Portugal played more relaxed and did not rush to attack in the second half which made several Turkish schemes to be lost including a failed offside trap scheme that could be maximized into a third goal from Portugal.
To qualify now Turkey still has a great opportunity especially the last match they will face the Czech Republic which only has to play a draw to qualify to accompany Portugal in the runner-up position.

The strongest team in Group E is Belgium. But unexpectedly the Belgium team was defeated in the first match against Slovakia. Despite having such a strong squad, Belgium lost 1-0 against Slovakia. So Belgium will want to win today's match by any means. Belgium has no chance of qualifying for the next round if they lose this match.
Belgium is trying to dominate the match from the beginning of the match. Youri Tielemans scored from Lukaku's pass in the second minute. At the end of 20 minutes, Belgium's players managed to make a total of 6 shots and had 70% of the ball possession. Belgium players are not allowing Romania's players to create any attack opportunities.
Belgium had no other choice but to play so dominatingly to secure a ticket to the next round. They have to really win the game with total attack, while they also have to balance it out with good concentration in defense. So far Domenico Tedesco's plans have gone well in the first half, but he must be able to motivate his players enough to score additional goals during the match.The strongest team in Group E is Belgium.

In the 30 minutes of the first half, you are right that Belgium dominated. They made more shots and controlled the game. It's a great start to expect Belgium to secure 3 points, but 1-0 is still at risk. Even if Belgium is considered the favorite, in reality they really have to fight to win tickets to the next round due to the unexpected defeat to Slovakia.
At the end of the first half, the Belgian team is leading 1-0. For the first 30 minutes we saw complete dominance of the Belgian players in the match. And the match is very important for Belgium. This is a do or die match for Belgium. Belgium will not be able to qualify for the next round if they lose points in this match.
Belgium played very cautiously in the first half. Belgium players tried to control the match with 69% ball possession. Belgium's players made several good attacks. At the same time they have been able to keep their defense strong. Romania's players tried hard but could not score any goals. If Belgium can maintain such dominance in the second half, then Belgium will easily win this match.
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.
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.

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.
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.What is your thoughts?

It was much worse than I expected. We couldn't do anything in defense against Portugal. I was aware of the weaknesses in this area already. But I still thought we would be able to answer with our offense at least. Vincenzo Montella is being criticized a lot with his player choices for this match. We still have a big chance for next round. We must prepare well for the Czechia match. Even one point is enough for us in case Georgia don't defeat Portugal. But we must play for the win to not leave it to chance.

Really easy work for Portugal, I thought Turkey would put up much more of a fight.
Portugal will have much harder tests than they got tonight later in the tournament but must feel good for them to effectively be able to rest players in their final group game now.

Today we saw that Montella is a very good coach. He put a disgraceful squad on the field. Turkey lost 3-0 to Portugal. Turkey needs to win the last match or draw to advance from the group.
The Czech Republic-Georgia match ending 1-1 was very good for Turkey. We can also advance from the group as the best 3rd.
Unbelievable with Turkey have defeated by Portugal over 3-0 and must secure last three points or getting draw on last match against Czech Republic, The Czech Republic-Georgia match ending 1-1 was very good for Turkey. We can also advance from the group as the best 3rd.
current standings Turkey have three points and Czech Republic as the last opponent team have one points but still get opportunity finish as 2nd standings of Group F if can beat Turkey on last match.
Tukey head coach, Vincenzo Montella have forget with bad result after defeating by Portugal and improving his team performance being draw or getting three points to get second place standings. I think playing more defensive for last match is good ideas for Vincenzo Montella if want get one place on 16 round and less possibility for getting best third standings place get qualify to next round if defeat by Czech Republic.
Easy win for Portugual, they have not earned a spot in the top 4 favorite for the final win imho.
Meanwhile Belgium is winning after 2 minutes versus Romania.
They needs the 3 points desperately after the underwhelming result of the 1st game.
Cristiano is the king of Europe now with the most goal scored and the most assist done in the cup.
GOAT.

I hoped Turkey would put up a tough fight in this match, but in fact they really couldn't. Portugal won with a score of 0-3 over Türkiye and this was natural because the difference in squad depth was very real. On average, players from Portugal are important players for their respective clubs, while we only get a few Turkish players who are important players at club level.
So far Portugal are one of the favorites in this tournament, so I think they will try to prove themselves worthy of being favorites. There was indeed some miscommunication in Portugal's game especially when they build up to attack, but that won't be a problem as long as they can win 3 points.

Now they will feel comfortable in playing their last game in group, the game was great and am very excited because the king had one assist but what I need from him is goals, so he can clock 900 goals before the end of the tournament but still he have set a lot of records which are :Portugal will have much harder tests than they got tonight later in the tournament but must feel good for them to effectively be able to rest players in their final group game now.

What is your thoughts?
-snip-
The first half has ended with a temporary victory for Portugal with a score of 2-0 over Turkey, both teams played very impressively and even endangered each other defenses, so far Portugal has been able to dominate the match a little, but although Turkey is often under pressure but in my opinion they are still able to give resistance to Portugal, but indeed the Portugal defense built by Pepe and Cancelo is currently quite solid In breaking every attack made by the Turkish attackers, the first goal from Silva of course still make Portugal even more ambitious to get the next goal, but unfortunately for Turkey when a ridiculous blunder made by Akaydin and resulted in a goal that made their spirit collapse.Throughout the first half I saw Ronaldo play quite well and of course he can still perform quite great so far, but there was a little bit of a bother me when the Portuguese players got the ball and created chances, but it seems that they are more inclined to throw away those chances than pass them to Ronaldo, is it just my feeling or are you all aware of it?
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.
It was a good performance from Portugal team, because there was a lot of criticism in Portugal's last match against Czech, that it was a narrow escape for the Portuguese. Portugal is on clear standing to the round of 16 because they are now on 6 points. Most big countries have not being able to achieve to consecutive wins so far.
I knew that Arda Güler would contribute to the game, but it is not right to bring Arda into the game and expect something when the score is 3-0. I think it is a wrong choice not to play them in the first 11 when there are players like Arda and Kenan. If the players have minor injuries, it is a mistake to enter the game. If they do not have any injuries, they should have played in the starting 11.
The coach made the wrong choice because the first eleven of turkeyi that played in their first game played very well and should have been the same team to start this game. Arda Guler would have been a threat from the beginning of the game for Turkeyi. Turkeyi will regret missing that first early chance they had to score Portugal, that would have made their game plan more to work, but after they missed it, and they were scored by Portugal, they lost composure and that resulted in the break in communication that caused the second own goal. For Ronaldo who chose to pass to Bruno than score, was it due to unselfishness, or a drop in his confidence that he could score from there?
If he had known he would have played the same pattern in the last game, perhaps a goal or two would have come out before the end of the match. I am not really happy that they were unable to score even a goal because I had played the both team to score in the match. Today is one day for the bet to lose, however, it's nothing to worry about we go again another day.
