That is the difference from a strong team against a weak or average one.The guy had just come in and in his first touch of the ball he scores the winning goal,that is the force of a great team like the Netherlands.Poland is a team who barely made it to the Euro through the third better team of the groups and as such you cannot expect much from them especially in a group with France and Netherlands in there.Austria is also a strong contender but it is the only team that Poland can hope to get some points or a single point from as surely they cannot pretend to beat an Euro contender,a real strong Euro contender like France is.Not much history in this group I think we already know the ranking after the group stage which should be Netherlands and France qualify further with Austria most likely being third and hoping for the best.

Currently, England is on lead the with a goal from Bellingham and an assist from Saka. Bellingham broke the deadlock luck on the 13th minutes to give England an early goal with a good header. England have a good squad and all of them are big players which should  be an advantage for them to win Serbia. England is still attacking Serbia and they are looking forward of getting a second goal.

Serbia only had few opportunities and England is dominating the game, but Serbia is still holding their ground by not allowing England to out play them. England is having a strong defense and making it difficult for Serbia to get a good chance of striking the ball to the goal post.  England is leading with 1-0.

Although Poland scored the first goal against the Netherlands, they could not leave the match with a win. After Adam Buksa's goal, the Netherlands responded with Gakpo and ended the first half with a 1-1 draw. In the second half, Poland had more scoring opportunities but could not capitalize. The Netherlands won the match after a single accurate shot in the second half.

The England vs Serbia match is underway, there seems to be a margin of error in the statistics. England only gave Serbia 24% of ball possession. If calculated, it is only the results from goal kicks and a few touches in defense.

However, if with this level of ball possession England is not able to score more goals, then England will have difficulty when facing the other two teams. England is lucky to be in group C because they are facing a relatively weak team. I hope England can score three goals without reply.

They weren't evenly matched from the start since Netherlands is ranked 7 by FIFA, while Poland is currently 28. Also, Lewandowski, who is probably the best Polish player, did not play today due to injury.
Bookies took that into account and last time I checked they were paying 6:1 if you bet on Poland and 4:1 for a draw. Basically all the bets were on NL and that's how it eventually ended.

Denmark and Slovenia drew 1-1 in the Group C opener of Euro 2024. Christian Eriksen scored an emotional goal for Denmark, 1,100 days after suffering a heart attack at Euro 2020. Eriksen’s return and performance were, in my opinion, quite touching and moving. And, Slovenia equalised through Erik Janza. Despite Denmark controlling the ball, they were unable to secure a win.

Maybe it's true, but we also know the fact that Spain has a better squad than Croatia. Based on my analysis, Croatia also has several advantages in building attacks, but it is a shame that they failed to use every opportunity to score a goal. It's not surprising or not, but based on performance, Spain is certainly better. In the next match, Croatia might win and Spain could lose.

At the moment I really believe England will win the match against Serbia. England has a good squad in its main team, this can be seen from the line-up that has been posted above.

I told my friend who watched the Slovenia vs Denmark game with me that the performance of Slovenia in their first game of the 2024 Euros Championship was their best in a their games that I've watched so far. The Danish team scored inside the first 17 minutes of the  of the game but the Slovenians didn't allow that to weaken their spirits instead, they became more determined to get a result in that game. One of the most memorable moments of the game was when Christian Eriksen scored for his side just 1,100 days after he collapsed on the pitch while playing fir this same national team.
The other game of the night which will see England trade tackles with Serbia will kickoff in less than 15 minutes from now. From all indications, I think it'll be an easy win for England but that doesn't mean that the Serbians are completely written off

Serbia vs England

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane.

🇷🇸 Serbia XI: Rajkovic; Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, S.Milinkovic-Savic, Lukic, Gudelj, Kostic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic.

Here we go again tonight, England has gather a lot great players from different great club whose names are not called twice will be facing Serbia who have won two matches, a draw and lost two games in their last five matches while England only won one match, two draw and lost two matches but this shouldn't determine England strength because all the matches played are all friendlies match which they don't seriously concentrate, but tonight let see if am right with what I have said, England have the high chances of winning this match, what is your thoughts?

We watched the first draw of the tournament in the match between Slovenia and Denmark. Denmark started the match much better and scored earlier, they played with the ball much more throughout the match, but due to the goal they conceded towards the end of the match, they ended up drawing 1-1.
What will determine everything in Group C will be England's performance against the other teams. I feel that whichever team concedes more goals will not be able to see in rankings

Honestly the Poland national team is really going to find it hard to score goals and get a win, I wonder how they're going to manage to get their first win in this tournament because their best finisher Lewandowski isn't on this game today and how are they going to manage to stay in the competition without him performing at his best? I don't think they're going to survive their group.
Talking about Weghorst coming from the bench to get a goal is just brilliant, sub scoring few minutes after being introduced is something we're going to be seeing in this tournament, like it happened in the opening game between Germany vs Scotland where Can and Fullkrug came in and scored, let's see if we're going to have more of it in the other games.


Denmark played like they're going to get all 3pt and all odds was against the Slovenia side which means Denmark should have won the game. The Manchester United player Hojlund had the game on his palm but he threw the opportunity he had away, he's good no doubt but he have to keep calm when there's pressure in any game and work more on his finishing if not he's not getting any goal in the tournament. Eriksen gave his teammates the opener but it wasn't enough to secure the lead, is really good to have him back and better than when we saw him in 2020.

At the end of the day that Spain - Croatia match was much of a tough match as we had watched out for, Spain rather ended it in flying colors to an embarrassing defeat for Croatia who couldn't give back a single goal reply to the 3 goals by the Spanish boys. Unfortunately there was no both team score in that game which means if you made a bet on that you ended up in loss.

Spain is one of the team's that many never sought out as among those teams that are favourite in Winning this Euros tournament but a lot of minds will be having a second thought about Spain after watching how they were able to disarm Croatia with three goals just in the half of 90mins.

In this match I think Slovenia did not deserve defeat, they played very well and even though they scored in the end a bit funny goal, but still played well and could have won against Denmark, when once they failed to score to Schmeichel almost in an empty net, and the second time after a long-range shot Slovenia player hit the bar.

I wonder today England will play soccer or will have to suffer with the Serbian national team, which usually has no luck at major tournaments. 

Unfortunately Denmark couldn't win the match, the two teams drew. If we look at ball possession, Denmark has a big chance to score more goals. Yes, I also bet with them. Denmark spoiled all previous results. I had to choose again even though I had passed several matches. England vs Serbia is of course one step in the chance of winning, considering that Serbia is not a strong team. It's just that the Denmark match didn't produce good results.

I guess you were right. To be honest, I didn't expect Spain to beat Croatia so easily, after all, the teams are not so different in class that they can score 3 goals easily and essentially decide everything in the first half. The Spanish national team was somehow "easy" on the field, it seemed that the Spanish national team of 2008-2012 returned and even Morata was not offside and scored, and the schoolboy Yamal is very cool.

Italy won a little differently, giving Albania a chance and immediately taking it away, but it was obvious that after 2 goals Spaletti's team decided to save energy and began to play as usual play Italians from defense, not giving the opponent no chance at all.

I think so, Poland had a lot of good shots but unfortunately only one goal which I think is worth the 2 goals. We have to admit Netherlands didn't play well but they had some positive points, first of course the comeback was successful because it's not easy to play under pressure when they concede first then ball possession which can disrupt the opponent's defense even though we know the accuracy is not optimal I mean, more shots are off target.

in the 2nd match between Slovenia vs Denmark, at first I thought Denmark could win comfortably but unfortunately not, Slovenia managed to equalize the score in the second half so both teams have to share points in group C but we know England will take over the top of the standings in the next hour meaning that Denmark and Slovenia still have to compete for 2nd place.

 For me, this draw between Denmark and Slovenia was the fault of the Danes. You could see that both halves they had countless opportunities to take the lead but they were just throwing it. Should I say that they were underestimating the home side seeing that out of the six times they've met, Denmark have won five? Granted, Slovenia gave them a tough time but you can see that in terms of defense, they aren't so strong, the visitors were having a field day in their half but still couldn't get more goals.
 Another painful thing was how Rasmus Hojlund could not convert the chances given him and you'd begin to wonder what he's need to boost his confidence because he wastes chances at his club and can't get his acts right in his country.
In all, Slovenia can be said to be comfortable with this draw, at least they did not totally lose out and their efforts in the second half wasn't for nothing.

No much or let’s all matches for now ended up with no surprises, always the strong and best odds wins the match. So far we witnessed the end of Slovenia vs Denmark match, the odds were in Denmark favorite, but Slovenia managed to score a drawing goal at the 77’ minute of the match and steal a point. I don’t expect to see bigger surprises in group stage since all the best national teams will perform good to not lose a chance for the next round.

In Play Offs, I expect many things to happen and very strong teams to fall against other less favorable teams and that’s the most fun in football. In just few hours we are going to see England performance, surely they will score as much as goals they could to guarantee their 3 points.

Only a few minutes to go for Denmark to win the match. I have a bet in their favor too and I feel the stress now LOL

Of course the big boys are still flexing their muscles, they are showing the smaller teams that they came prepared for the tournament. I don't see England slipping either, we are going to start seeing complicating results from the second leg. So far gamblers are making it big, that's for people who are playing straight winning for the big teams to win. England know what is at stake for them, they wouldn't want to be the only team that will lose first among the elite teams that has played so far.
I know Serbia will want to make things difficult for England, they will be aiming to put a dent on England's hope of winning the trophy, so England should come prepared, as many eyes are looking upon them.
