A draw in their first match? Poland didn't get a draw when they met the Netherlands, they definitely didn't get any points after Weghorst scored a goal in the last 7 minutes of the match. With the bad results they're currently getting, they certainly won't be able to be in the top 2 of Group D, in their third match, they have to meet France, then, what can we expect from Poland, even against Austria they lost.

Fortunately in this match there were no pure goals only own goals, but still Italy's game was boring, there was no character where they were a great team while Spain was more superior from all directions, we saw this match a little annoyed to see Italy's game.
We know Italy still have a chance in the last game of the group stage but if they play like this with no more pressing attack I doubt it will be a win.

Poland now expects no other possibility than France losing in tonight's match and hoping they can beat France in the last match. Frankly, they could probably be the first team to bid farewell to the Euro tournament tonight. They were dropped into a difficult group and their only chance was to beat Austria, but they couldn't do that and will now focus on enjoying the last match.

Poland no longer has a way to get to the round of 16 because of the 2 matches they played, they didn't get any points at all. Meanwhile, in the last game, they had to play against France, which I don't think is a match that Poland can win, even it is still quite difficult for Poland to get a draw against France. Poland made the mistake of giving Austria a lot of space in the second half (whether it was because of their strategy or because of their lack of stamina), so that Austria had more opportunities to penetrate and score goals.

You are right, Spain were unlucky in terms of scoring against Italy yesterday. Some of the winning finishes were poor, but there were 7 shots on target which would have been several goals had Gianluigi Donnarumma not made the save. Of course Spain really deserved to win the match even though the goal that occurred in that match was an own goal, but that alone was enough to make Spain collect 6 points.

Willians, Morata and Lamine Yamal performed well in these two group stage matches. The three of them really made it difficult for the Italian defense before the three of them were rotated with substitutes. Throughout the match, Spain recorded 20 shots, 9 of which were on target, but they were unlucky in scoring goals.



I know there are a lot of good quality young players in the England squad, but the coach seems to be having difficulty combining their games on the pitch. Collaboration between players seemed to be something that was lacking in England's two matches in the group stage, but they have a luxurious squad based on the market value of their players. Kane scored a goal in the match against Denmark, it was England's only goal in that match.

They showed spirit of fighting and no wonder they won. Ukraine finally showed us that this team is indeed capable of scoring goals and winning games and with these 3 points , Belgium is almost out of Euro if somehow Romania will win tomorrow or take 1 points which indeed can happen because Romania has a great team. I also won't be surprised if this group E will go down the wire until last game who actually give the 2 nations who will qualify further.  

 Poland vs Austria
 Poland will really find it difficult to win this game against Austria especially now that the away side is leading by three goals to one. Starting the game on a very high note only to resume second half and start playing with fear. What will you expect of an Austrian side who were beaten by France other than to not only defend their lines but also press to ensure they get three points from this game to enable them have a shot at playoffs.
 For me, I think Poland will have to seat this one out since I clearly don't see them coming out from this one, drawing their first game with Netherlands and losing out on this won't in any way help their case.

The French national team will face the Netherlands today to determine who has the right to become the group champion, so far both teams are of course very safe because they are the same collecting 3 points from 1 match, while the other team has not gotten a single point because of the defeat in their first match at this time, although indeed the two teams are currently relatively safe to qualify for the next round but I hope the match will be very exciting like see the match between two big teams later, both squads will certainly field their best players in the match later, including most likely Mbappe will also play.

In the previous match Mbappe was injured but reportedly currently Mbappe has improved and is ready to be dropped in the next match against the Netherlands, reportedly France is currently trying for Mbappe to be able to play with a face shield, previously France was prohibited to playing Mbappe in the match against the Netherlands using a medical mask or face shield colored by the French flag, because it is indeed against existing regulations and applies in the euro this time, so it is very likely that Mbappe will still be able to play but with the condition that he uses a plain or one-color medical mask and does not list the identity of the team and manufacturer.

Netherland game can be considered a very important game for France to make sure that they are on the top of the Group D before they play Poland. Mbappe trained with the team, so there is a chance he will play, even if not full time. It is his nose that is broken, not his legs which they need the most. He has a very good record against Netherlands, even though France has players who can be substituted into that role that he plays, they cannot offer the same kind of threat like he does.
This should not take time.

Spain dominated the game, they were only unlucky to score an early goal. Even before the match started, I doubted Italy's ability to draw against Spain, because Spain is the greatest club in Group B. Spain deserved to win the game against Italy, even before the own goal from R. Calafiori, Spain wasted a lot of chances they had to score goals. I believe that if it were not for Italy's goalkeeper, who made several saves, the team would have conceded more than one goal because Spain pressured them throughout the game.

However, I've now realized that we're wrong to think that England is the favorite to win the tournament. Southgate gathered the young players, but he doesn't know how to use them in this competition, we saw how this player performed in their main team last season, so why did England perform badly in their matches? Denmark showed an unexpected attack. Many gamblers will be disappointed when they choose England as their favorite team to win. Cole Palmer has not had an opportunity to play since the competition started. Southgate must make a few changes in their coming game because every team has a chance of qualifying in this group.

Not because his nose was broken, but according to the most recent source, Mbappe will be unable to participate because of a rule forbidding him from donning a mask with the colors of the French flag. Currently, french is trying to get permission for mbappe to play against Netherlands by substituting an uncolored mask for his French mask. 

Has Deschamps confirmed Giroud will replace Mbappe against the Netherlands? 

I would rather keep Griezmann as an attacking midfielder, and play Marcus Thuram or Kolo Muani as striker. In the last game, Thuram was left wing; Bradley can cover that position. At last, missing Mbappe is not a big problem as long as Deschamps does everything well. 

Do you think Ukraine has a chance to beat Belgium? First Belgium have to play Romania and I think they should get 3 points in this match, after this game all teams can have 3 points and this will be the most confusing group in the EURO. But I also think that Belgium will have an advantage in the match with Ukraine, although today they were good against Slovakia, it was a completely different team. Lunin remained on the bench, Rebrov decided not to risk it.

Having one of the William brothers helped propelled the Spanish attack. He was very explosive and creative. Infact, the both wings effectively functioned yesterday and the likes of Fabian Ruiz and Rodri detect the game nicely. They made sure hey bossed the game, I couldn't believe the defending champions would lose that one though. The goalkeeper, Dounaramma made some brilliant and important saves in the first half of the game.

As for English side, they're completely overhyped and if nobody gives Gareth Southgate tips and advice on how to manage these lads, he'll be knocked out in the knock out stage.

He should stop making use of Alexander Arnold as a midfielder, he doesn't have to qualities. I say this and I do not exaggerate about it in the slightest way.

How would that even work?
If Slovakia beats Romania they will get 6 points, in this scenario they will be the most likely to qualify so have both Romania and Ukraine qualify directly doesn't work because of the direct loss in the match.

Anyhow, still no goalless match, and only 9+ ods on almost all matches to end 0:0, might be tempting.


And yet he still has the best odds to score at 5:1 too bad you can't place a get against it.

Only some of them concluded that Spain was the team that was expected to enter the final round and I think they had quite a reason why they chose Spain as a strong candidate to reach the final. One of them may be because their games are relatively fast and entertaining. If you play against Italy, who in fact loses a lot statistically to Spain but they only get 1 goal, what about against other teams that have good finishing. We still need to wait and see the development of the other favorite teams so which team has the best chance of getting into the final.

Spain and Italy met in a UEFA EURO group stage match where Spain won against Italy. Before the match started I felt that Spain and Italy are tough opponents and either team can win this match so I refrained from betting on this match but Spain beat Italy in this match. Despite not being defeated by a large margin of goals, the three points are a big deal for Spain. Among the few teams in this group, three teams are strong but so far Spain is at the top of the group stage points table as Spain has been able to win 100% so far followed by Italy at the second position and Croatia at the fourth position.

yes, as I said, Ukraine played better in the second half. they are starting to dare to control the ball and defend and they are comfortable doing it. every player's confidence increases. and when they lost the ball they immediately pressed the Slovak players.
look at the impact, several passes from Slovakia players were successfully cut and that was an advantage for Ukraine. however, Slovakia's game was not bad either. look at how the combination passes between players, it's very good and done very quickly. The rhythm of the game for both teams was very fast, it was a tiring match for both teams. congratulations to Ukraine on its victory over Slovakia.

In Group E, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine each have 3 points. Although in today's match we saw Ukraine win 2-1 against Slovakia. All these three teams are looking very strong in the points table, but we will face Romania in the next match. Slovakia is more likely to win this match. And Ukraine will face Belgium, Ukraine has a chance to win here.
And I think Romania and Ukraine are more likely to go from Group E to the qualifiers.

Spain and Germany are the oy team playing attacking football and is giving them results. Yesterday game was interesting,  Spain outshined Italy from the first half to the second half, they deserved the winning, with the help of two vibrant wingers like William and Lamine,such a talent they have.

Today's day Ukraine did a great job with a good come back and won the game 2:1 against  Slovakia. They will face Belgium in their final group stage match.

Poland vs Austria game is on, I'm staking for Austria to win. They are the underdog in this tournament. France vs Netherlands is by 20:00pm , with the team news coming from the France team, Mbappe will start from the bench. He had a broken nose in their last game. It's a GG match.

Netherlands vs France will be an exciting match.

This time France will play without Mbappe since his nose is broken, so Giroud will play. Giroud's recent performance is really bad and he's already old, it just surprising Deschamps choose him over many quality players. Griezmann can become striker, his position can be replaced with Tchouameni or Camavinga, or if he don't want Griezmann, there are still many strikers.

Netherlands might able to pull an upset I guess...
