Mbappe absent must affect any team that he is in, and this was why France was finding it difficult to find the back of the net. Also Mbappe presence will be a threat to some players especially Netherlands defense.
France became so used to playing with Mbappe, they found it difficult playing without him because his injury was not expected knowing how fit he usually is. Mbappe was a big plan for the French coach into the competition, so to suddenly have to play without him affected their attacking strength. They have their defense and VAR to thank in this game because the got one point at least.
It will be a big disappointment and disgrace, if France is kicked out of this competition in the group stage,because so far their game results are not encouraging.
Mbappe will surely play in their next game, their chances of winning will be higher than it was in this game, and they will play with an urgency that most teams will not be able to defensively contain.

For the match between Netherlands vs France i think it's quite boring especially in the second half that although France dominate the match but they having trouble to broke the defense of Netherlands which today is very solid and actually i almost be yeeling when Xavi Simons scored because i thought it was goal from Netherlands but unfortunately the referee through VAR has decided it was offside and i personally not satisfied to see this match result because i want to see the winner between them and for France it's clearly without Mbappe they couldn't do nothing
Yep, after watching France play today it looks like they will only reach the quarterfinals. Netherlands defense was actually not that perfect but France played bad tonight, without Mbappe The France players seemed to attack without strategy.

By the way, tomorrow the match is between Turkey and Portugal, we know that Portugal is a bit of a favorite here but I just remind that Turkey is not a team to be underestimated, I predict both teams will score each other so it's interesting to place a single bet. Arda Guler will be in the spotlight for the Turkey side while on the Portugal side of course Ronaldo, good idea for goalscoring betting?
Yes Both teams to score and Over 2.5 because both teams will play attacking, whoever is win in this match will be the winner of group F and will meet relatively easy opponents in the round of 16 later and I think Ronaldo or Bruno can score a goal in this match.

Really looking forward to Netherlands vs France, let’s see what France have without Mbappe. I expect there to be more than a goal or two in this game, it could be game of the tournament so far.

Obviously I have a vested interest in watching VVD and Gakpo.
Indeed it a game of tournament because France really tried their best to take a lead but Netherland really pushed harder to make it unbearable for France, Mbappe is really a great play which I respected so much with the way he plays, I will say is absent really affected the team victory even though they are others to replace him but his present will also make the opponent scared and uncomfortable. Netherland has have it to the pick to  end the France victories against them, I was impressed with the Netherland to share the points together with France, now the are equal in point, their next match will be tough one.

Netherland is not a weak country in football and I don't expect France to win them easily. Netherland almost took the lead but it was ruled out by VAR due to offside. It will be a big disappointment and disgrace, if France is kicked out of this competition in the group stage,because so far their game results are not encouraging.

Actually this result is help them to qualified to the next round because for both teams it only required draw result from their opcoming matches and for Netherlands actually they have good chances to finish at first place on Group Table as long as they can beat Austria but it won't be easy considering Austria in the good shape after beat Poland with final scores 3-1 and i am sure Austria has strong motivation because they also want to qualified to round of 16

Actually, it would be more interesting if one of them scored first so there was an attempt to counterattack and equalize the score but that didn't happen and both teams preferred to play cautiously, previously I predict both teams would score each other and placed a parlay bet there unfortunately it was beyond expectations. Whatever the scenario, I am sure France and Netherlands will qualify for the next round because as you said they only need a draw in the last match to complete 5 points in group D.

FT Netherland 0 vs France 0

Its too boring watching the super big match teams in Euro after both team can't scoring any one goal yet and almost 90 minutes only has few shots on target. I am expected with super big match between Netherland vs France will score many goals but France with ball possession dominance more than 63% only had 3 shots on target.

Actually being draw is help more for France for qualifying to 16 round because last match against Poland have been eliminated from Euro 2024 after two consecutives loss, Netherland not secure yet with their position because facing Austria on last match has 3 points and one point remaining from Netherland.

Group B standings awhile


Matches between two big teams will always be boring because they will be both putting effort to win and also protect their team from losing.

They both tried in the match and as the favorites team to lead the group, the draw they held is the best result for them. They shared one equal point to have a total of four points each leaving Poland with zero point, but Australia still have chance to qualify if either France or Netherlands lose their next match.
France will
Be plying against Poland, while Netherlands will be playing against Australia; France have more chance to lead the group since Poland is not as strong as Australia.

It seems that Poland has become the first country to be eliminated from the Euro 2024 competition. I have never expected something unique from Poland whenever they come to competition even when there is a great striker like lewandowski among them. This actually show that individual does not make a team, and also lewandowski himself has aged, so the strength is no longer there to perform optimally.

Apart from lewandowski this actually applies to the country of odegaard and Halaand of the Manchester City. These two guys have fed for a long time to make names for their countries but individually in their clubs they are making good impacts. What actually could be the problem.

The result of the Netherlands vs France game today I think was a very surprising one to football fans across the globe who has been following the developments in both teams. A lot of people were of the opinion the game was going to produce a lot of goals because of the quality of players in both teams but surprisingly, none of the two European giant nations were able to find the back of the net in 90 minutes. The first half of the game of you ask me was the more entertaining half because both teams created clear scoring chances but couldn't convert their chances of which Antoine Griezzmann's miss happens to be the most shocking miss of the game.
For France, I think they would've probably scored if Kylian Mbappe was featured in the game but after the nose injury he picked in their first game against Austria, the coach of the side never saw any need to introduce include him in the game even when majority of football fans had initially thought that Mbappe will be subbed in in the second half of the game

Mbappe didn't even enter the match today. He got an injury of course but I was still expecting to see him on the pitch with a mask in the 2nd half. However I have heard something like UEFA doesn't allow players to use masks which aren't of a single colour and the team or manufacturer shouldn't be identified on it as well. As his mask was like below he couldn't play today. His absence was really felt by France as they had serious issues with scoring goals.


Personally I think that mbappé's absence in today's match has something to do more than the mask propaganda. That guy was obviously injured and we know how sensitive they knows is especially when you have to make some speedy runs like mbappé does. I also think that it will make no sense for France to force kylian mbappé to continue to play in the group matches when they can reserve him for the knockout stages by that time he will be healed totally.
Producing an face mask that is within the rules of Eufa shouldn't be a problem for a country like France. So I refuse that it is because of provision of mask that made mbappé not the future in today's match.

That being said I have never anticipated and easy match for France when they will have up against the Netherlands. I haven't forgotten so easily how strong did it allows were during the last time euro and even the World Cup. So if I say that the match actually met my expectation, I am not exaggerating. Hopefully in the coming matches we will watch mbappé otherwise we should look at for him in the quarter finals.

Mbappe was really hurt in the last game no doubt but I don't think the injury stopped him from playing in today's game because he was pictured training with his team mates few days ago using a face mask but am so surprised not to see him on the pitch today not until I got the information about EUFA not accepting a multiple colored mask to be used by any player.

Nobody expected the match to be an easy encounter but the performance of France would have been better had it been Mbappe was among the players for the game not forgetting the runs that he always makes when ever he is playing but since France has the opportunity of qualifying to the next stage, we hope to see Mbappe get better even as the French team is preparing a better face mask for him.

And just like that, Poland is pretty much out of the competition. It is a shame because they had their good moments in their 1st game against the Netherlands and in the 1st half with Austria.
They obviously have no chance for any of the top 2 group places, but in theory, they can still advance to the next round of 16 as one of the 4 best 3rd places. All they need now is a high win against France. Some have calculated that it would have to be at least 3-0.

How is that going to happen now? Because France isn't happy that they shared points with Netherlands and will have to bring their A-game to the final game of their group stage. It would be a tough game for sure and I don't see that happening one bit. If they really wanted a slot, the best thing they would've done for themselves was to win the most easiest opponent for themselves and that is Austria and they failed to do so. 0 points from 2 games.  I know this is football but playing against a team like France that heavily influences the game, it's a difficult job to do. We all saw how Netherlands worked tirelessly to cope.

France had chances, they couldn't convert them. Rabbiot was first, the other was Griezmann as they was both closet to scoring a goal this night.
I'm impressed bit they'll be facing and having a tough game to play during the last fixture of the group against Poland, Yeah? Well see how it goes.

France had all of the game in the second half but great defending from the Dutchmen as they did brilliantly to hold this one. Same goes for the goalkeeper as he did denied Griezmann a chance to score.
The substitute both side did, I expected bit that of bringing Wout Weghorst came very late and he was having no service of the ball.

Well the game has been nothing but pure brilliance from both team and all I could say is that France has improved atleast better than their first game. France and Netherlands are really the strongest team in that group and with the way the game is going I think they are going to settle it as a draw and sharing the points will be the only option.
If it is in terms of improvement, I'd say Netherlands were the more improved side given that France were the favorites to win the game. Netherlands came from behind to win Poland in a well fought game in their opening leg and despite not having the kind of squad the French side has, they were still able to stand their ground in this game.
 Granted, the both sides had their fair share of chances but in terms of utilizing it, Netherlands passed France.
It will be too much of an expectation to expect a goal fest considering the both sides are big teams in their rights so it's only fair to end it with both of them sharing the spoils.

For France, I feel they'd find it difficult getting a goal scoring opportunity after they could not utilize the opportunity they got through Rabiot and

But indeed even though they are better than what they showed in the first match but for the match at the euro this time France still cannot show anything where their finsihing is still the same bad as the first match and they are more wasting the opportunities they get.
I think this is not very good even though they are one of the candidates for the championship but seeing from the 2 matches they did it seems that our expectations should be slightly lowered.

France is just like England where they are very favorite but their matches are still very monotonous in my opinion.  With this situation if in the end the coach cannot develop the game scheme and the French attack pattern is still the same, it looks like we will see a new champion and certainly not France if their performance continues like this.

Tomorrow , I have a feeling that Turkey will score and actually defeat Portugal and I also have a feeling that Romania won't lose against Belgium.  Grin

You are right, we are expecting some goals in this match especially from the French side but unfortunately there were no goals and both teams chose to play it safe. Now France and Netherlands have the same points and Austria in 3rd place is 1 point behind meaning Austria could catch up at any time or are these 3 teams certain to qualify for the next stage? I don't understand why from each group there are 2 and 3 teams that will qualify for the next round.

In other matches Ukraine managed to get 3 points today this means that competition in Group E is getting fiercer Romania, Ukraine and Slovakia both have 3 points while favorite teams like Belgium have not yet got a single point, but yeah Belgium still has 2 matches left which means the opportunity is still there.

My bad, they never drew their first game as Wout Weghorst deprived them of that chance to take home a point. Poland should have salvaged something of the game had they maintained the same fire with which they had in the first half, equalizing after an early goal from Trauner in the 9' but going on to play complacent football on the second half.
 It was as if they knew they weren't getting any thing from the game that was why their morales dropped, I don't know because in terms of touches, they also gave their fair share to the Austrians.

It seems Poland felt reluctant after scoring their equalizing goal because I don't see any way Austra had won them after putting such a performance in the first hand. I am confused in Group D because right now all of the teams in Group D have equal points thereby using goal differences to top one another. No team yet is certain to qualify for the next round until the end of the last meeting which should be next week. In other Groups, some teams have secured a slot in the next round and some team's faith has been decided that they won't qualify for the next round while in Group D it is totally different. All the countries there have two points generally.

The game was tough and the result was never expected, it's kind of unusual how the Euro is going this time, the least results expected always now begins to happen, the big teams up there are now beginning to fail to perform according to their ratings. Even if these big teams win at times, it happens just so fortunately with an awful fight during the play time.

While tomorrow match is yet uncertain, Portugal have quite the best possibility of winning tomorrows match as they have a good record in the tournament and for sure Belgium are winning their match.
