Only 1 goal and that was very profitable for Spain who had ensured that they would qualify from the group stage.
Italy's game was not good for 90 minutes. 1st, apart from losing in ball possession, Italy was only able to take 1 shoot compared to Spain's 9 shoots. Continues in 2nd. There is absolutely nothing special about Italy. They are just lucky to have goalkeeper Donnarumma. If Donnarumma wasn't the goalkeeper, maybe the final score wouldn't have been 1-0, but more.
From the level of ball possession alone, it is enough to see that Spain deserved to win and had a better way of playing compared to Italy. And I also think that if the Italian goalkeeper had not been Donnarumma, maybe Italy would have suffered the same fate as Croatia when they played against Spain with a higher score than that. For now, everyone can probably conclude that Spain is a strong candidate to reach the final of Euro 2024 if the game continues like that until the final.

Ukraine sealed the game now. Scored their second goal. They are really playing outstanding game. Impressive performance.

Yeah it was an interesting match between Ukraine and Slovakia because their both performance was almost the same and also Ukraine was very fortunate to have been able to manage and realize themselves if not they would have actually lose the match because from beginning of the match Ukraine was displaying very poor performance and Slovakia use that opportunity to secure their first goal making Ukraine uncomfortable, though they tried to have managed and protect the goal till the end of the first half but as soon they came back to the second half they became so reluctant on their performance making Ukraine to equalize on the 54 minutes and after then the match became balanced that the both side was trying all means to breakthrough but fortunately for Ukraine they manage to score their wining goal at the 80 minutes, so congratulations to them.

I expect the 1-2 result to last until the end of the match because after all with Ukraine's victory in this match, those who qualify will be determined in the 3rd match and of course this will be interesting where when that happens there are indeed some conditions that could be a surprise between the 4 TEAMS competing in group E.

Massive win for Ukraine, they deserved it after all.

It seems like the Ukrainian players received instructions to play more aggressively after seeing less than optimal play in the first half. now Ukrainian players can play more pressing with tight pressing.
Slovakia could no longer play as dominantly as in the first half. when carrying out attacks they must be alert to counter attacks and the transition from attack to defense can be exploited by Ukraine.
after equalizing the score, Ukraine played better.
For Ukraine, all they needed in this match was a victory, and after they conceded a goal, it seemed that it would be difficult to correct the situation. In the first half, nothing was changed, but in the second, Ukraine managed to change everything, first they equalized the score, and at the end of the match they were able to score a second goal, and win the match. A very important victory, and it’s very good that Ukraine managed to get 3 points today, now we need to prepare for the last match with Belgium.

Slovakia is currently playing Ukraine. If Slovakia eventually gets 3 points back in this match then they will systematically qualify for the next phase as well as the third team that has been confirmed to qualify.
It seems one way traffic for Slovakia in the second half. After the bad start in the first half Ukraine seems to be having a good time since the kick off of the second half.
The second half was different this time where in the first half Slovakia was able to make a good breakthrough but for this time Ukraine was the one who pressed more even throughout the 40 minutes of the second half this time.

The score is now reversed and of course this is a very good thing for Ukraine because after all with this victory, the competition for this group will become more interesting where 3 clubs get 3 points and only Belgium has not gotten any points at all because they have not played for the second match this time.

I expect the 1-2 result to last until the end of the match because after all with Ukraine's victory in this match, those who qualify will be determined in the 3rd match and of course this will be interesting where when that happens there are indeed some conditions that could be a surprise between the 4 TEAMS competing in group E.

This game is a crucial one for the both teams which will be definitive on who's to leave or stay in the Euro... This year Euro, Croatia team has quite fallen below expectation with just a point in their group B after two games.  On a current stats, Croatia don't stand a better chance to win their next game against Italy who were very unlucky after a tough battle in the meeting with Spain  narrowly winning that game with an own goal from Calafiori. Same Spain that had a cool time beaten Croatia 3 nil.

Except history decides to repeat itself by favouring Croatia against Italy. In all of their 9 meetings record has it that Croatia has won 3 games while Italy won 1 with 5 draws. So probably if Croatia can show a bit of  improvement in that match come 24th June they could light up their chance of surviving the group stage, but a draw won't be of any good for them at all.
Italy focused on defense, and they could do almost nothing in attack, only 1 shot on target in the entire game, which is too little to count on even a draw. And Spain made 20 shots on goal and 8 of them were on target, perhaps the beginning of the match was more or less even, but then Spain controlled everything and they had opportunities to score more. Perhaps Italy will try not to lose to Croatia, because this result will be enough for them, and Croatia will only need a victory.
Italy has always been known for their amazing defense, even before 90's they were known for their defense and grew just better and better. So their hope was that they would defend very well, tire Spain out, because they would run around trying to score, and eventually when Spain is tired, they would use their fast wings and striker to just counter attack and find a goal and keep parking the bus.

This did not happen because Spain knows tiki taka better than anyone else, and they just attacked without tiring themselves out, which made it impossible for Italy to execute their plan, and instead Spain just tired Italy out and eventually a mislap in judgement caused the goal. Spain seems like a good team this tournament, they may go further than I expected.

I don’t see a clear advantage for one of the teams, in the final phases the Spain look more dangerous, while the Italians try to keep the game in the center, and so far they are holding up very well in defense. But Italy has always been famous for its defensive play, and Donnaruma has already made a great save. At the end of the half, the Spaniards increase pressure on the defense, but so far to no avail.
Only 1 goal and that was very profitable for Spain who had ensured that they would qualify from the group stage.

Ukraine staged an impressive comeback. Behind 1 goal, Ukraine reversed the score to 1-2. 5 minutes added time for the second half. Over 2.5 is successful.

The first half ended with a 1-goal lead for Slovakia and of course this is a good situation where they only need to maintain this advantage and get a ticket to the next phase. But it may not be easy because after all, looking at the current conditions like Ukraine also does not want to return to the bottom of the standings by continuing to lose the matches they run.


The score is 1-1 now where it looks like Ukraine does not want to go home empty-handed in this euro where they want a good result for them in the match.

This is clearly interesting where at this time if Slovakia can get 3 points then Belgium's chance to qualify is certain they must get 2 wins in their remaining 2 matches but if indeed this match ends in a draw and Belgium in the second match wins then indeed the match in group E will become more interesting especially if in this match Ukraine can return the score and make them get 3 points then indeed this becomes interesting because the final match is one way for them to ensure themselves to be in the next phase.
Now the second half is still going on and we will see if Ukraine increase their chances of qualifying or Slovakia who assured themselves as the third club to qualify for the Euro Round of 16 this time.

Italy - Spain: the match was quite boring, I didnt like it at all
also I dont know about you, but to me Italy seemed like a scared team, without character, without the desire to play
I dont know if they continue like this I dont think they can go far

I think everyone is very annoyed at how Southgate handles a team full of stars in England and it's not appropriate for a coach like him to be here.

I believe that Southgate is approaching to the end of his duty at English national team. I can feel it already.  Smiley  Maybe you will ask "Why haven't they sacked him already?" and you have the right to question that absolutely.

Personally I also don't know why they have insisted on him this much. He couldn't lift a single trophy with an amazing squad in his hands. For 8 years... It is high time they brought a new coach in his place. I'm not an Englishman but I really have pity on their national team success rate which is 0%. This kind of a squad deserves titles.

Only one World Cup title in team history which was in times that nobody cares about.

Spain deserved to win big, they had more shots on goal, more scoring chances, more ball possession, they showed how to dribble against the opponent. We knew they were the favorites and this did not disappoint, they won. Too bad not with a goal of theirs.
This is the only problem of Spain.
Yes, Spain was superior to Italy, I thought that the match would be more equal, and although thanks to a good defensive game the score does not reflect this, Italia was even lucky that they conceded only one goal. Donnaruma played a good match, but it was not enough. Now I’m watching the match between Slovakia and Ukraine, a quick goal in the 17th minute brought Slovakia ahead, in general they play better and attack more, it’s not clear why the odds for their victory are 3.3.

The first half there were no goals and both played perfectly and I think both were quite difficult, Spain attacked more than Italy in the first half which remained with a draw.

The second half started with Spain being more aggressive in their attacks, they had far more possession of the ball, in view of this situation it looks like Spain will get a goal faster than Italy if the situation continues like this, Italy is quite exhausted in this second half they continue to be attacked and there is no resistance that has a far greater chance of scoring a goal, almost fully running half the field.

And as I type this Riccardo has scored for Spain, it's very good and the score is 1-0 in favor of Spain, I think I'm going to get a win tonight from my bet on Spain, looking back at the match starting to heat up a bit maybe Italy's players are a bit provoked to take revenge.
It was an own goal by R.Calafiori after Williams took a cross which hit Calafiori's leg and went into the goal post. Spain is still dominating the game and I don't think that Italy will be able to withstand Spain pressure. I will say that goal was a lucky goal and Spain have not scored any goal of their own.

Italy on the other hand is somehow allowing Williams to feel free forgetting that he is a dangerous player. It is not yet over until the final whistle and we might still see some surprises in the last 25 minutes of thr match.
Regardless of whether it was a lucky goal or not in the end these 3 points were quite deserved for Spain because after all with their actual condition in terms of probability lower than some teams like England, France or Germany but indeed at this time Spain has already established themselves for them to qualify as the second club after Germany who confirmed to be in the round of 16.

Slovakia is currently playing Ukraine. If Slovakia eventually gets 3 points back in this match then they will systematically qualify for the next phase as well as the third team that has been confirmed to qualify.

Group E proving to be a group of surprises, first it was Belgium falling at the hands of Slovakia, and now if they keep their lead against Ukraine the bookies favourite this means qualification is secured and it's up to Romania or Belgium to fight for the remaining place which I believe team Lukaku will deliver because this would be embarassing for a top team like them to be left out.... though Romania might have the advantage thanks to that superior goal difference!!!
Actually Belgium could come through as best losers if they win their last two games, because  I don't see Romania staying behind Roll Eyes

I stand with Ukraine!

This is the only problem of Spain.
Spain played very good, dominated Italy, created many opportunities but they could not score more than one goal. They won this match, it is important for them to complete their task in this group but if they won't improve their shot accuracy, they will probably have problems in knock out matches.

If you play better, can not score goal and can not win the match within 90 minutes or 120 minutes, you will have big risk to lose at penalty spots. Spain must improve accuracy of their shots through next training sessions and aim at finalize knock out matches within only 90 minutes or 120 minutes. Penalty shootouts can not be priorities of a strong team like Spain but of course they will need to force players to train shots at this spot too.

Spain deserves to win the game against italy. Spain's short pass gameplay in the opponent's penalty area is amazing, and Donarunma deserves a lot of praise for his excellent performance. But again, so many times, Spanish attackers were going through italy's defenders, and im not doubting that Spain will be favored to win euro 2024. The amazing performance from the Spanish team shown in this game, though they were unfortunate enough because of lots of missed chances. To sum up, this game proves how spain is obviously on another level compared to Italy, and that's why they won the game. 


My ideal final will be Spain vs Germany. a beautiful game of short passes typical of Spain vs staying power and determination typical of Germany. I hope it comes true.

yesterday the italy-spain match was disastrous but really bad on italy's part i honestly didn't think it would end like this given that italy has an excellent squad anyway, but di lorenzo was practically annihilated it's as if he had never played and now things are getting tough because of Croatia they have to win or draw to move on to the next phase so I'd say it's not looking good for Italy

According to my own predictions, Spain will dominate the match even more, as the match progresses, Italy is under pressure from Spain's performance, they continue to survive the attacks carried out by Spain. Even though Italy is a good squad, Spain succeeded in making it difficult for them until finally Spain was able to lead by one goal even though it was an kill goal scored by an Italian player in their match yesterday. Of course, this is bad for Italy because by losing, it means they have homework for the next match against Croatia, which must be able to hold a draw or it would be good to win.

with Italy facing Croatia, it might be quite difficult for Italy to win, but with Italy's quality players they should be able to win. but don't know what will happen next, maybe Croatia can make Italy difficult again with the pressure put on by Croatia. Italy still has a chance to take second place in group B, if they can win then they can take it.

For this year's Euros, I am backing Germany, as my favorite team has always been Germany, as the host and in Group A, and looking at the opponents in Group A who are not a match for Germany, I see that Germany will be very smooth to win points and advance to the next round.
Apart from being the host, we also saw the depth of the German squad which is very trustworthy and can take the German national team further. And maybe qualifying from the group phase is not a difficult thing for Germany. Because I think currently Germany is certain to qualify from the group stage because they have managed to collect 6 points and have even scored 7 goals in 2 matches and only conceded 1 goal. This automatically allowed Germany to play more comfortably in the three group stage matches. My favorite to win the title at Euro 2024 may not be Germany, but I also see great potential in Germany this season.

Of course, we definitely have our own favorite team. When talking about Germany, there is no doubt that they have a good performance and up to now, Germany has not experienced defeat in the Group phase and indeed Germany will definitely have the potential to easily advance to the last 16. and the next opponent that Germany will face is Switzerland and of course we will see Switzerland's struggle against Germany and of course we deserve to watch that match because of course Switzerland is the current runner up in group A standings. So of course it will be an exciting match but yes it looks like Germany will have the potential to win against Switzerland.

But yes, by being the host, of course Germany will definitely be more enthusiastic about competing and will definitely want to become champion. Yes, of course Germany will definitely be happy now because their struggle has borne fruit. Yes, I personally also see that Germany has great potential if it is a strong candidate to win the Euros and Group A. But I also have a favorite team, namely Portugal, because I want Portugal to become champions.
