I didn't expect Croatia to lose 3 points when they were leading the match 2-1 over Albania. Croatia were bad on many occasions and they were really bad at maintaining a lead towards the end of the game. Their concentration on defense was disrupted when Albania increased their attacks, in the end the two teams had to share the points. Obviously this is not good for Croatia, who previously lost against Spain, the plan to qualify for the next round becomes even more difficult if they cannot win.

About your multi bet, I'm sorry about that. Not all favorite teams can win high-tension matches like the Euros, so predicting matches is really difficult. But did you lose much? I hope not. Lol

With this 2-2 draw for Croatia , I think they chances to actually make it further are almost to none because facing and beating Italy will be almost impossible for them as long as they will play as poor as they did today. I also think Albania deserved 3 points today and Croatia really scored 2 goals by luck because their football style is nowhere near the level it used to be a couple of years ago and it's understandable with so many players having over 36 years and the young ones are not on on a high level of display top football.

Next we have Germany - Hungary and I think both teams to score should be a pretty safe bet if you want to gamble on this game but I do see Germany scoring again 3 goals +.

It is unlucky for Croatia because they created some opportunities to finalize the match after the second goal but could not score, and by the end of the match, they let Albania equalizing it.

This draw means Croatia will have only one choice, beat Italy in their last match and they have to hope that Italy won't beat Spain in the coming match. Albania can hope that they will make another surprise in the last match with Spain. Their chance to beat Spain will be higher if Spain win against Italy and won't have to use their main squad in the last match in this group.

Albania tried a lot in a match with Italy and came closely to an equalizer goal but could not score that goal. Now in today match, they tried again and succeeded against Croatia. They learned something from their first match and this draw show Albania's improvement too.

Towards the end of the game they turn up to make a difference, but unfortunately the game draw, Croatia really have to fight hard to survive in this group because the first and second in the table can not be toe with, they are still chances for them but it very small, the lost the first match and the second match ended draw, Albania really defended themselves against Croatia pressure, Croatia secured last in the table due to highest goals they conceded which make them move to the last, before I was hoping for the best third for them but unfortunately they didn't make and it remain only a game to finish the group stage and their next match is against Italy and I don't think they can win that too.

Scotland has a very high chance of qualifying from their group A because already they have been able to secure themselves a very nice spot my getting 4 points from their last three matches, however their last match was a tough one for them because they played against Germany which we no that it will not be easy for them because from the beginning or the history of football Germany has been known to be very higher than Scotland in terms of their performance so it was very easy for Germany to win Scotland, though it was the red card Scotland played Porteous had on the 44 minutes that made Germany score the amount of goals they did if not it would have at least ended on 3:1 against Scotland but however even after losing the match they still have a good chance to qualify.

Though in terms of their match today it will likely be very difficult to predict because so long as this season is concerned Switzerland is not a club to be underestimated because their last three matches has been so good for them because they won two matches and draw one which made them to have a total of 7 points, so considering their performance Scotland will not find them easy at all because comparing their both performance Switzerland is more stronger, and also one of the things that would make the match more interesting is the fact that the both teams will be trying all their best to win because they really need it especially Scotland that has only 4 points.

Unfortunately in the extra minute Albania was able to equalize for me this is a bit of a mistake from the defense because they were not so well concentrated until several times Albania attacked to worry for Croatia.
Gjasula scored an own goal due to a deflection but he was able to pull a goal back for Albani and avoid defeat.
This match ruined all my multi bets.

One thing we should know, the countries that have big names are actually the ones suffering because they've failed to thrashed their opponents, besides every player takes their performance really serious because winning is prioritized over other attributes. Germany is more extensive and elite and winning odds belongs to them. We've come acroosed the lineup but we should also not jump into conclusions about the winning ratio because there are surprising outcome that can possible be triggered at the end of the game.

Georgia is our neighbor and I have no problems with them. As Türkiye, we would like to thank Georgia for having an enjoyable match. If Samet Akaydın had not prevented a clear goal with his head, the match would have ended 2-2, not 3-1. I wish Georgia good luck against Portugal. I hope you can beat the Portuguese. The other 2 matches will be very important for us.

For the past 5 years the current German squad that I have witnessed in this euro is more stable than the ones that have been. Not only stable, they are more coordinated and thick bond. This means that the aura of the German machines is gradually coming back. And the one thing about the current squad is that they will not disappear any moment because they have some young and talented footballers among them. Take musiala for instance, in the next 15 years he is still in active football and making history.

Concerning German and Hungary meeting this night, it is obvious that the Dutch side is the favorite to win tonight but then this season's Euro is not yet predictable until we reach the knockout stage. I am predicting 2 goals to 1 in favour of Germany.

We have been waiting for more than 30 years to qualify for the UEFA European Football Championship. This match was very important for us, Georgians and our team really put their whole heart to perform well in the stadium but sadly for us, Turkey showed even greater performance. Arda Güler's performance was really amazing, something unexpected to be fair and his goal was definitely one of the best goals in EURO 2024. It's sad but our beloved Kvaratskhelia didn't perform well, we were expecting more from him since he is the best Georgian footballer right now but I think that Mikautadze outperformed him in this match.
We have to face Portugal in 26 but I don't have high hopes, sadly. Btw thanks everyone for appreciating Georgia's performance in this match.

The Scots will try hard against Switzerland. In the first match Germany destroyed them and they didn't even have a position. In the goal they scored, Rudiger scored an own goal in a very interesting way. Now they will do whatever it takes, focusing fully on the Switzerland match. There is no chance of them becoming champions, they will enjoy this tournament.

As Turks, our apple of the eye is Arda Güler. We take very good care of him. Every team fan in the country admires him. We are hopeful for the future. He was very happy after scoring the goal against Georgia and this joy makes us proud for our country. I hope our other players can perform similarly. I congratulate Georgia, they played very well. It was an effective match.

I got really happy with Turkey's win over Georgia yesterday. A 3-1 win helped us become the leader of the group after the 1st round as well.    I'm grateful for Czechia about not losing easily as a result.

However as for the way we performed, I liked only our attacking effort. We have really amazing talents and especially the first 2 goals were superb! As for our defense... It was just terrible.    We were giving so many opportunities. If we defend Portugal in the same way we will probably lose. Montella should try some different strategies in the defense area next time.

By the way Croatia are still having serious problems. I thought they would pull themselves together against Albania but still finishing skills are in bad shape.

I don't really think Germany will find it easy to beat Hungary as they did with Scotland. Granted, Hungary lost woefully to Switzerland in their first game but they may surprisingly turn the events around in their favor. According to the odds, they are the under dogs and in this tournament, we've seen shocking results from under dogs and maybe tonight can end in the favor of Hungary.
 Germany are top of their group, followed by Switzerland and then Hungary before Scotland and the hosts won't want to a loss but the visitors can get their acts right as well as their confidence and who knows get a point or three from Germany. Football is an unpredictable sport, which means anything can happen. Germany may get a win but I feel it will be difficult and well fought.

So far Turkey's match against Georgia is the most exciting match at EURO 2024 and I find it very difficult to say if both teams are at the same level. How the two of them attacked each other and carried out good defense kept the audience very entertained throughout the match. The goals scored in this match were also very good and will probably be nominated for goal of the tournament later.

Apart from that, the results were not good for Georgia because they had to admit Turkey's greatness with a 3-1 defeat and I think as a debut team Georgia is still worthy enough to be taken into account. Arda Guler has emerged as a young phenomenon at this year's EURO where he rocked the stadium with his brilliant goal and it was a template goal that he previously scored when making his debut match with Turkey some time ago. Türkiye is grateful to have a player like him.

Hello friend. As a Turk, I must say that I was very happy in the Georgia match, but it is obvious that we had problems in the defense area. I hope we don't have problems in our defense area in other matches. Abdülkerim and Samet were good in this match, but they were not consistent. Especially Samet was very good in this match. I hope he plays like this in other matches too. In my opinion, the goals scored by Arda and Mert were the two best goals scored at the end of the first matches. Hopefully, we can easily come out on top in the group by beating Portugal.

Apparently Germany will solve their first problem today and get out of the group. Hungary is not a bad team, but I don't think it will be able to compete with Germany, especially after Germany's first game where they defeated Scotland, a much stronger team than Hungary.
Today everything is decided for Scotland and they need at least not to lose, otherwise there will be no intrigue in this group, but I think Scotland will be able to impose their game on Switzerland and at least earn one point.

The first half nearly ends and Croatia is still chasing for an equalizer against Albania. Albania again score first and they will have to defend this small advantage to win this match or at least avoid a loss. They already had their own lesson in the first match, led Italy too early but later let Italy beat them in final result.

If Albania win against Croatia, it will be their big shock in this Euro and can help them to find opportunity to get a second position. If Albania get a second position, it means there are two big teams in this group will have to go home, either Italy, Croatia or Spain.

Croatia still depends too much on Perisic and his cross passes, they need to diversify their ways to approach Albania's box and create more opportunities in the second half if don't want to lose this match as losing this one means this Euro ends too early with them.

Odds are small because Croatia is favored, but they (Albania) again made a surprise. Just running 10 minutes of the match, Albania has been ahead of 0-1. But when the match was still long and I still felt that Croatia could overcome this with positive results.

I still ask myself whether Albania is not seeded in Group B so they play without a sense of burden?
Try to see how the initial minute they played. So far, they have made 3 shoots and without thinking where they made 8 clearances.

Croatia has small odds so this will certainly be more favored than Albania, but I see this prediction is like Croatia will try to win and not be defeated twice, Albania should be able to overcome even though this is not easy, it's just that we see Croatia better.

While Croatia here is just waiting between Italy and Spain who loses, this is a good momentum for Croatia to win so that to qualify will be even greater, meaning that the competition becomes tight but the points have a wide opportunity, this is only a prediction but what I predict Albania will lose.
