It was quite interesting to see the match between Turkey and Georgia because both teams were equally determined to win and this match ran at a fairly fast tempo. Turkey appeared slightly dominant compared to Georgia and they had a better rhythm, but Georgia seemed to have a quite promising counterattack, which several times seemed quite troublesome for Turkey's defense. I guess this match will end in a draw.

So far Group E has been the most tense and full of surprises because the two leading countries both lost in their first matches, Belgium and Ukraine.

The score has become 1-1. Georgia managed to equalize through a goal from Georges Mikautadze's kick in the 32nd minute. Turkey should have led 2-1 but after a VAR check the Turkish player was caught offside. Türkiye is the favorite in this match but it looks like Georgia is a tough opponent. But I still think Türkiye will win this match if they don't make a blunder. I predict the final score will be 2-1 in favor of Türkiye.

Today there are two games in Group stage of Euro cup, both of group F. Every team would have played a game each after the two games today.
Turkey vs Gerogia
Two neighboring nations playing. Turkiye has always been the better team than Gerogia and I guess they'll have a comfortable win.  
Portugal vs Czechia
The same condition here even though Czechia is a good team and Portugal has some untested combination, I believe Portugal would easily come victorious in this match.
The Group would most probably be led by Portugal and followed by Turkiye.

LOL.. Georgia has to be one of the weakest teams in this tournament. The fact that Turkey is struggling against them shows how weak are they right now. Mert Muldur got the lead for Turkey in 25th minute, but a few minutes after that Mikautadze made it 1-1. In terms of stats (possession, shots and passes), Turkey is far ahead, but they are failing to convert this advantage into goals. BTW, I am quite excited for the next match (Portugal vs Czechia). We will see Cristiano Ronaldo in action!

Currently the match is in the 24th minute of the first half. And Türkiye still controlled the match well. But both teams have both had chances which they managed to get but there has been no goal until this minute and the score is still 0-0.

The score has become 1-1.

Whether it is shots on target or the possession, it is Turkey who is in the lead and also they have scored the match's first goal. Mert Muldur has a shot that went straight in the Georgian goal given them a much wanted lead in the match.

Yeah Turkey and Portugal should be able to win the match because on paper they are better and I agree with you that Portugal will take over group F as group winners while Turkey had to settle for being runner up. So the question is how many goals will Portugal score? I think it was 2 goals or more because this is Portugal first match meaning they will try to play as hard as possible. The same situation should happen to Turkey

This year's Euro bored me a bit because some of the favorite teams couldn't win for sure and I think they really struggled to score goals. Even though they should be able to win with a difference of more than 2 goals with the depth of the squad they have, this time we also saw strong resistance from non-seeded teams.

I really appreciate the performance of this underdog team and they really don't want to just give up, especially since every opportunity is very equal to other countries to qualify from the group stage. Kylian Mbappe's broken nose incident was quite worrying and he was immediately taken off for treatment. I heard the news that he can still play at the Euros this year but will have to wear a mask and everyone knows he will be closer to the character of Donatello in Ninja Turtles.

Turkey - Georgia match is about to start. I'm pretty curious about what Turkey will do in Euro 2024. Because they have reached this stage by finishing the qualifiers as the leader in a group with Croatia.    Besides this is the first ever time for Turkey to join a Euro tournament as the leader. I wonder whether they will be able to keep this good look...

Montella has made difference since he took over. In his management the qualifiers stage went much better. The friendlies weren't that great but they can be misleading.

Turkey has great young talents, so I think they will meet the expectations and beat Georgia to have a solid start.  

Today there are two games in Group stage of Euro cup, both of group F. Every team would have played a game each after the two games today.
Turkey vs Gerogia
Two neighboring nations playing. Turkiye has always been the better team than Gerogia and I guess they'll have a comfortable win.  
Portugal vs Czechia
The same condition here even though Czechia is a good team and Portugal has some untested combination, I believe Portugal would easily come victorious in this match.
The Group would most probably be led by Portugal and followed by Turkiye.

Lukaku was in the spotlight when Belgium was surprisingly defeated by Slovakia because he was expected to be a goal scorer for Belgium but instead wasted many opportunities. I think it is very natural for Belgian fans to attack and offend Lukaku because he has disappointed them. In fact, Lukaku had two golden opportunities to give his team the lead over Slovakia at the start of the first half, but due to poor finishing, Lukaku chances were blocked by the Slovak goalkeeper. Lukaku played very badly in this match, he failed to save his team from defeat because he wasted too many goal scoring opportunities due to very poor finishing. The defeat in the first game meant that Belgium had to immediately get up and win in the next game. They had to rely on themselves by performing optimally if they wanted to qualify for the next round.

Soon the match between Turkey and Georgia will take place. I personally am also very confident that the squad that Türkiye currently has will definitely be able to beat Georgia. The reason is that in the qualifying round, Turkey's performance was very good. That's why I personally am also very confident that in this match Türkiye will definitely get the full three points. In fact, I personally am quite sure that Turkey will be the dark horse team in the euro this time.

Then for Portugal's match against the Czechs, it is clear that if you look at the quality of players that both teams have, Portugal is far superior to the Czechs. Then, if you look at head to head, Portugal is still superior because in the last two meetings between Portugal and the Czech Republic, Portugal always won. However, if you look at the last 5 matches played by Portugal and the Czechs, the results are that the Czechs are superior. The reason is that in the last 5 matches played by the Czechs, the result was that the Czechs were able to wipe out the last 5 matches with a win and never lost. Meanwhile, in the last 5 matches played by Portugal, the result was that Portugal was only able to achieve 3 wins and 2 defeats. So in this case the Czechs are superior.
However, squad depth is still the main factor that allows Portugal to win this match against the Czechs.

And my score predictions for these two matches
Turkiye VS Georgia (3-1)
Portugal VS Czech (2-0).
