The match is temporarily led by slovakia, although maybe the city has Ukraine as a tough hope it seems that slovakia is playing well enough to win this temporary match, Ivan got his goal in the 17th minute which changed the situation, and now the potential for victory is reversed, I also think that slovakia is much better than Ukraine.

But the first half is not finished yet and it is likely that the game will be reversed by Ukraine, they just need to be more disciplined in the game maybe things will change, but with the stagnant state of the game maybe Ukraine will not get the victory.

Like it or not, Spain was lucky in that match, without the own goal scored by Riccardo, Spain might have been at a disadvantage if it ended in a draw. Initially I had high hopes that Italy could give the Spanish team many surprises. With this narrow result without scoring a goal, Spain still qualified, but it remains an important note for the upcoming match.

Everything is different and there is no need to compare anymore, Italy must focus on being able to compete better. Because the composition of the players is still young, their fitness is certainly good enough to provide a different game from last season.

Honestly, I didn't expect England to experience difficulties like this against Denmark. I expected England to win easily, but in reality England had great difficulty controlling the match and almost lost this match. So in essence, even though at the euro this time, many people think that England has players who are superior to other countries. However, this apparently does not guarantee that England can win easily at the euro this time. The reason is that in this match the performance of the players from England was very disappointing, even though there were many star players, it turned out that all of them couldn't do much. But even so, England can definitely advance to the round of 16, but if their performance is still like now, I'm sure England will have difficulty getting past the round of 16.


Then another match in Group C between Serbia VS Slovenia also ended in a 1-1 draw. In this match Serbia dominated the match very well. However, unfortunately, Serbia was a little careless in the second half, because the counter attack launched by the Slovenian players was able to break through the Serbian goal in the 69th minute. But fortunately, in a very crucial minute, a header from Serbian player (Jovic) was able to equalize for Serbia and in the end the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

So with the results of these two matches, the temporary standings for Group C
England is in 1st place with 4 points
Denmark is in 2nd place with 2 points,
Slovenia is in 3rd place with 2 points, and
Serbia is in last place with 1 point.

Group C can be said to be the most competitive group at this Euro, because the participants achieved many draws. The reason is that in the last two weeks, only England was able to win the match in and most of the other results were draws.

There is not anything to argue about here because we know what Germany are capable of doing and what they have prepared for but I think is to early to conclude about Germany winning the trophy because they still have five matches to play including the final if possible, currently it only two teams the are still consistent in securing the full point, Germany and Spain the have won their two matches to get the full 6 points while we wait for others to play their own, upto this moment i haven't choose my favourite team because I fill it too early.

France seems worthy of being the favorite in the match against the Netherlands. Even though the Netherlands is also a strong team, Mbappe and his friends should be more favored this time. It's just that I'm not completely sure yet. Because in the first match the Dutch also played a very good game. In fact, they continuously made heavy attacks on the Polish defense line. But I see that there are gaps in the Dutch defense that France might be able to exploit in today's match.

The other match is the Austria vs Poland match and yes, Austria should be expected to be the favorite in this match. And for the other match, namely Slovakia vs Ukraine, it looks like it will be difficult to predict. But we remember that Slovakia managed to beat Belgium. And Ukraine lost to Romania. And if you consider this then I think Slovakia could be the favorite.

If you look at the odds on this match, it seems that Ukraine is more favored than Slovakia, where Ukraine has odds of 2.3, while Slovakia gets odds of 3.25. However, if you look at how the two teams performed in their first match, I am more inclined to choose Slovakia because Slovakia played quite well against Belgium, and I think the victory they get will improve their morale for tonight's match.

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. It is a shame that there are so many talents that he cannot develop their potential and the strategies he uses seem very inconsequential. I'm curious what will happen next if he still persists in his stance and doesn't give other players the opportunity to play.

We know that there are so many options that they can use on the bench, especially Cole Palmer, who should be able to become a supersub, even though he ignored it. In fact, if Southgate could lower his ego and give him the opportunity to play, of course the direction of the game would be much more fluid and there would be so many opportunities. However, Cole Palmer was the only player who performed well with Chelsea last season and he should not have been on the bench all the time. Apart from that, there are Kobbie Mainoo and Anthony Gordon who were mainstays for their respective teams last season.

This time Southgate failed to stop the national team of Denmark, although England tried to park the bus, but the national team of Denmark managed to score a goal with a long-range shot and it turned the game, because England in general was not satisfied with a draw and in the end they tried to get back, but almost missed a goal from Denmark and at the end Southgate frantically tried to change the situation and even changed 3 forwards, which only weakened the game of England.
It was in this match that the main weakness of Southgate's tactics became apparent, when on England's way there is a team that knows how to press and score from outside the penalty area and the English initially counting on closed soccer have to open up.

The Netherlands-France match will be very fierce, France is a slight favorite but the Netherlands also cannot be underestimated, these two teams have almost equal strength so I think it is possible for this match to end in a draw.

The Poland-Austria match will also be very fierce, I don't think that Poland will be able to win this match, we saw from the match between the two teams in Round 1 and I think Austria played a little better even though they lost to France.
I would bet on Austria winning this one.

I still insist they were lucky. The game would have ended in a draw with them sharing the points. I consider it lucky because they have had several attempts to score a goal yet to no avail. Italy was happy that in the first half, there was no goal at all. In the second half, they brought in one or more defenders to strengthen the defense, if it isn't part of the luck of football that the Italian player has to score an own goal there wouldn't be any goal yesterday.

Yes, comparing the Euro 2020 and Euro 2o24 there is a lot of difference in how Italy plays. It is obvious that they have different players now playing in the team, so we won't expect their performance to be similar. If they fail to win Croatia then they get eliminated. After all, there must be a loser to have a winner. It is in their hand to choose which they want to be.

It seemed to me that Italy's lack of attackers produced a meager and unsatisfactory performance in the game against spain. Given that Spain worked hard to gain three points, and i would not describe spain's goal as lucky goal. Italy seems to have peaked against Spain, and it is now among the least probable teams to triumph Euro 2024. 

Over the game, Spain attacked Italy aggressively; As a result, spain was deducting three points from Spalletti's side. It's hard to see Italy going any further than it did against Spain.

Italy lacks depth in their attacking line; hence, I think they will stagnate. 

I think Germany or Spain will prevail on the Euro 2024. 

Nice pick Farma, Spain it was...just about by OG by Italy. Spain with slightly more
possession were able to get 20 shots in with 9 on target, Italy under pressure which
let to the OG.


All eyes on the Netherlands v France match tonight, one of the big favourites are France.
The odds are not as far apart as I would have expected. Netherlands 3.3 - 2.29 France.

I'm picking the Netherlands!

It could be touch and go as to whether Mbappe plays...

A team that's running and hoping for the game to end so that they could catch their breath and head into the next game, it speaks more of the Italian side yesterday, they couldn't hold down the young stars of Spain. The Italian midfield was terrible that they could not get a complete pass to the attackers withe both left back and right back defenders did very poorly, they only give the Spanish players to easily run through them and get the ball in the box.
The Spanish side have the game in their palm but couldn't get more than a goal, for sometime I haven't seen Spain show that hunger to win against a big side but yesterday they (Spain) got me convinced that they're not only ready to win against the bigger teams but to become Champions. I think Spain are number 1 favorite ahead of Germany and France.

Tonight's match is Netherlands-France. France is the favorite in this match. I hope this match will be enjoyable.
I think France will complete this group as the leader.

Poland-Austra match will be competitive, I think Poland has a higher chance of winning.

Against Croatia it will not be easy for Italy because both teams are favorites to get through the group phase and in terms of quality they are not much different so this will be a tough deciding match for both of them.
And on the other hand, Albania also cannot be underestimated because so far in the two matches they have shown an impressive performance and later in the final match it is not impossible that they can pull off a surprise because their opponent Spain has already been guaranteed to qualify from the group phase so of course Spain will not play stubbornly Again.

Slovakia with high confidence and Ukraine with great motivation, Ukraine must win this match if they still want to have the possibility of qualifying from the group phase.
An interesting match between these two teams.
The match will be played soon and I am trying to bet on goal overs in this match, I think because both teams will play hard so there is a possibility that there will be a lot of goals in this match.

If you look at the standings in Group B, Croatia is indeed at the bottom and gave the impression that they didn't have a big chance of qualifying for the round of 16. However, if you look at how the two teams (Croatia and Italy) played against Spain, I think Croatia has a chance to beat Italy. Croatia really lost badly to Spain with a score of 0-3, but in that match, they actually had more chances than Spain, it's just that they were unlucky with their finishing touch.

In contrast to Italy, even though they only lost with a score of 0-1, but it was Spain who had more control over the game, and Italy did not have many opportunities or shot attempts.

Even though I won my bet because I favored Spain. but I was also quite surprised by Italy's performance which was actually expected to make the match more exciting with the level of aggressiveness of both teams being equally high. But from what I see, Spain has a better advantage in this match. And if Spain can take advantage of every opportunity they create then Spain can actually win by more than 1 goal. But Italy does have a strong defense which makes it difficult for Spain to score goals. But this defeat will indeed put Italy in a difficult position in Group B. But if Italy manages to win or even just get a draw in the match against Croatia then that will be enough to make Italy qualify for the round of 16. But of course, with the condition that Albania must also lose to Spain.

Many people will probably hope that France vs Netherlands will win. But I would probably favor the Netherlands in this match.

Even though Italy suffered a lost against Spain but they are quite lucky as Albania did managed to force a draw upon Croatia and this will help to boost Italy chances in claiming the 2nd spot at Group B when they play against Croatia in their next upcoming match.

It is not a good sign for Ukraine to concede 3 goals against Romania in their first match as it shows they might be struggling with their defense, I think there is a high possibility for Slovakia to score another surprise victory against Ukraine today as the players of Slovakia are surely going to be playing this match with high confidence after they beat Belgium in their opening match.

Italy failed my bet, and to see them play so badly was beyond belief. We think Italy can provide tough resistance to Spain, it's a shame that Italy won't be able to survive long at EURO if it doesn't show its best game. In terms of Italy strength against Spain, there is nothing surprising, Spain was only able to win through an own goal, meaning Spain played a bad game. So in this match many of us were disappointed, expecting a fierce battle because these two countries have quite a long history on the field.

Croatia had to accept the bitter reality of not being able to do more in the group phase. were held to a draw by Albania so Croatia have never won once in Group B.

Today there is another big match between Netherlands vs France, actually this is also the match we are most looking forward to. Hopefully it doesn't end like Spain vs Italy, because France and the Netherlands can be said to be evenly matched in H2H.

Gareth Southgate has not been able to make the English national team have good chemistry on the field. The players sometimes still seem to make some unnecessary mistakes there. And the teamwork was also not as good as Denmark in that match. But in the early minutes before England scored, England actually looked better. But after that they lowered the tempo of the game and allowed Denmark to build attacks more freely. The draw against Denmark was considered quite disappointing. because the depth of the England squad should be above the level of the Danish players. But the facts on the field turned out to be that the English national team played as if it didn't have many star players. even though the English national team has all the good players in all their lines. Southgate must make immediate improvements. If not, England might have difficulty in the round of 16. Meanwhile, for the match against Slovenia, we still hope that England can win. Because if England fails to win or can only get a draw, the reputation of the English national team at Euro 2024 will really start to be undermined. And their coach will also immediately receive criticism.
