Why don't choose Ukraine?

It is because of thinking like we might see a surprising result. Ukraine are favoured more than Romania as I said. But I think Romania shouldn't be underestimated at the same time. I think of a scenario like this:

Romania to beat Ukraine by a 1-goal difference first. Then Romania to lose to Belgium but to beat Slovakia after. Ukraine to collect 3 points only by beating Slovakia. Let's see.  Smiley

Quote
I pick Portugal and Czech and Czech is very lucky to fall to this easy group.

Georgia are the weakest team in the group and they are joining for the first time. But you shouldn't rule out Turkey. I believe we have a really good chance against Czechia. We technically have much more capable players on paper. I only hope not to see bad strategies by the manager.  Roll Eyes



Germany have given a sign that they have no joke in this Euro. I wonder how the other big title contenders will start.

Last night, Germany and Scotland faced off in the opening match of the 2024 European Football Championship, where Germany won a comfortable victory with a score of 5-1. The tournament’s opening goal was scored by the young talent Florian Wirtz, assisted by Joshua Kimmich in the 10th minute. Today, there are three different matches: Hungary vs Switzerland, Spain vs Croatia, and Italy vs Albania.

Italy might be the favorite in this match and they have a chance to win because they have a more promising squad than Albania, but I guess that it will not be easy for Italy just to beat Albania. What I see is that Albania has a fairly consistent performance and they even came out on top in group E while they were still in the qualifying phase. In that group phase, Albania showed that they had a fairly solid defense that was tough to break down (Albania only conceded 4 goals, and it was much better than Italy which had 9 goals conceded).
Italy are the current European champions, so it is clear that they will be among the favorites, and not only in this match but most likely in the tournament. But this time they have a very difficult group, due to the fact that Croatia held a not very good qualifying tournament for the final part, we have three teams in this, that are very strong. Spain, Italy and Croatia each have an equal chance of making the playoffs. And while Spain will play Croatia, Italy needs to take advantage of this and win against Albania.

After watching how Scotland got thrashed by Germany yesterday, I think Albania might be the next team to concede a lot of goals when they play against Italy. Being the weakest team placed in Group B, all of the other 3 teams will want to earn points from the hands of Albania and they are surely going to be playing offensively against Albania right from the start of the match, I guess Italy will be able to beat Albania easily today.
It seems true that Albania will be the team that will concede more goals in group B considering that the teams in the same group as Albania are Italy, Spain and Croatia.
Even though we consider Albania to be a weak team, who knows, they could appear surprising when facing Italy. The score, if Albania had been able to provide tough resistance, might have been different.

Three of important match being played today.
Group A Hungary vs Switzerland
It's a surprise that these two nations in central Europe haven't played with each much matches together to compare with. Switzerland is a strong team but hungary is also on a rise. It would be a tough competition for the second slot in Group A.
Group B Spain vs Croatia
Croatia had been a sensational dark horse in 2018 world cup but Spain always is a much balanced team. It would still be difficult to predict the results but it would likely be a 3+ goals.
Group B Italy vs Albania
Italy should win this. It's just the 2nd appearance of Albania in this stage and that itself is a huge achievement for the team.

Frankly, Scotland showed too much respect to their opponent who also doubles as the host in the tournament, Scotland never had a single dangerous move or shot on target throughout the first 45mins and Germany took on the advantage and closed in on them without looking back.

For the Italy - Albania match today there's a lot of tendency that similar result might just surface for them today seeing that Italy squad is in a great shape than Albania who are just underdogs in that group B.

Sure we saw Germany destroying Scotland but in Germany we have a saying, "die Kirche im Dorf lassen" which translates to "keeping the church in the village". Basically it mean don't make it bigger than it actually is.

Yup. If you score 3 goals against a really really good team with equal number of worldclass players as yours. And conced just 1, then yes, you had an excellent game, deserving of praise and all that.

If you score even 10 goals against a team who barely qualified, and then played with 10 men, let's not get ahead of ourselves Smiley

It is very clear that Germany has to prove it at home, because if they lose or draw then the fans will be disappointed with this opening match, a very convincing win with a score of 5-1 according to Germany still hasn't proven that it is strong because we haven't seen Germany face it.  tougher country, what kind of game is it, by the way, congratulations on winning your bet.
Winning in the opening match which is also at home is something that the German national team should get, because if in that match Germany could lose straight away it would also be quite embarrassing because Euro 2024 this time is being held in Germany so the German national team itself must be able to take advantage which is more about this and in fact it has also been proven by the German side in the opening match of Euro 2024 with a score that made the German fans happy.

Sure, Germany won big, but Scotland, just as they showed before the tournament, is ina. really really bad shape and they played terrible.
The German team just played solid and profited from many mistake the Scottish team made,. Hopefully the 2nd game will have the same outcome so the German team won't have any pressure before the last game of the group stage.

Congratulations to everyone who won their bets on today's Germany game. I didn't have any motivations to place bets other than to enjoy the game. As expected, Germany dunked on Scotland on opening day. I feel bad for Scotland because they're captained by Andy Robertson (LFC player). After today's game, it's safe to say that Germany is definitely one of the teams to watch out for considering some of the players in their squad had their best season yet — eg: Wirtz.
My bet was saved by a goal from Rudiger (GBD) Grin both teams scored, but for me it was not a big problematic mistake because Germany's goal was already a big lead, this did prove that Germany is very strong they put more pressure on Scotland plus at the beginning of the match a goal party for the hosts.

Actually this is a big difference in terms of statistics while Germany has more star players throughout the European league who have shone so they naturally win in a very large goal situation, of course we enjoy this match.
That is why betting the both team to score is kind of a good odd for gambling. Any goal would be counted whether, goal or own goal and Rudiger did it for you yesterday if not i didn't see any chance for Scotland to score a goal. However, the opening of the Euro competition came with 6 goals which means i think i will comfortable betting in matches like this for multiple goals of 4 and above

Germany is one of the country with the strongest team in this competition i expected them to win that match by scoring quite an impressive number of goals.

Germany took a very good first step in the opening match, the German players managed to take advantage of the opportunity to score as many goals as they could. Manuel Neuer was seen standing in the middle of the field because the goal he was guarding was not threatened at all by Scotland, only one shot off target was recorded by Scotland during the 90 minutes of the match.
Germany failed to keep a clean sheet in this match due to a small mistake made by Antonio Rüdiger in the 87th minute, his header went into the goal guarded by Neuer. The dominance shown by the German team over Scotland in this match made Julian Nagelsmann and his supporters very satisfied. Those who have the status of the home team must be able to perform optimally to become a team that is ready to win Euro 2024.

It is true that EURO 2024 this time gives Germany more opportunities to continue winning. It could be said that the German portion is quite promising if it succeeds in winning the trophy. Starting the journey as the home team and successfully scoring 5 goals, Germany proved that with a squad full of stars this time they could easily overcome obstacles.

Kroos return to the national team squad was the right decision, German has learned from last season that he regretted not calling Kroos to the national team. There is no doubt that as Kroos gets older his abilities become more mature, he also becomes a differentiator on the pitch with his accurate passing. As Fabrizio Romano said, Kroos accuracy is 99%.
It is only in the group stage that it looks like it will be easy for Germany to qualify even as group winners as they will win easily again for the other matches.
If you look at the squad, there is no doubt that all the great players have now gathered in Germany to reclaim the EURO title this year.

Yes Toni Kross is a midfielder who organizes the attack forward, he has proven himself with Real Madrid and brought him the championship now Toni Kross must do the same with his national team, I feel there is no need to doubt Toni Kross's passing is so high accuracy.
Actually I sees Germany as one of the top contenders to win this year uefa European trophy, because the quality in their team are very much visible for all to see with their Stella performance last night, and they are the hosting nation, so it's more of an advantage to them than any other team, so if you look at the midfield par of Toni Kross and iker gundagan, they actually prove themselves yesterday night that they are ready for the battle ahead of them in the later stage of the competition, because I know that they wouldn't have a problem qualifying to the next stage of the competition, no disrespect to the other teams, I feels like they are the strongest team in that group.

Lastly, though they haven't played yet, but the other teams that I believe that have the pedigree of lifting this year uefa European trophy is Portugal and France, I believe that this two teams are the only teams that can defeat whatever foes that comes against them, because they have the quality and experience needed to go all the way in this year competition uefa European trophy.

Germany were very good in the first half, they completely outplayed Scotland, and I want to say that Porteous's red card was not decisive, because up to this point Scotland had not a single chance, they did not make a single shot in the first half against Germany. Negelsman was able to set the team up to play well and they actually managed to achieve something they couldn't do in the friendlies, Germany's attack was very good. A good start means a lot, and once again I am convinced how good Negelsman is as a coach.
Germany has shown their mentality and also their performance as the favorite team to win the championship, Scotland is indeed not a strong team but we can see how the strategy applied by Nagelzman can be very effective in confinement and destruction of the strategy applied by the Scottish coach, the number of Scottish players playing in the Premier League is not able to make the Scottish game improve and even throughout the match Germany is able to dominate the game by continuing Pressing and forcing Scotland to defend, it was recorded that in the match Germany managed to release almost 20 shots and 10 of them were shots on target which indeed made Gunn have to work very hard.

The combination of young and old players applied in the German game was able to destroy every line of Scotland in the match, and we can even see how the experience of old players such as Kroos and Gundogan was able to make the young players play very well in the match, besides that indeed the big victory over Scotland cannot be separated from Julian Nagelsmann has an important role in setting the team's strategy and tactics.

Germany were very highly favoured already but I still didn't expect such score though. This must be the best kind of a start at home for Germany for sure.  Smiley  They look really determined in this tournament. It seems like Nagelsmann's arrival has affected the players really positively. His system is working smoothly for now. I can't wait to watch them against one of the other top contenders as well.

Today there are 3 games to be played. I can be very confident about only Italy honestly. When it comes to the other games they are open to any kind of result. Maybe I can say Spain is more clear but I don't have a clear favourite for the Hungary - Switzerland one.  A draw wouldn't be surprising.

Glory To Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
A really good start by the German team. I expected to see both teams playing carefully and defensively and the game ending with like 1-0 for the hosts, but things went completely different.
I think the early goal by Wirts set the tone, and the well-deserved red card at the end of the 1st half was a nail in the coffin for Scotland.
I expected Scotland to do a little better. In the past, they proved they were capable of playing at a high level, but they got completely neutralised yesterday. But at least they managed to sore a goal, despite having zero shots on target.

It seems that the strategy played by Scotland is not working well. In the early minutes of the match, Scotland tended to play defensive football but they didn't really play aggressively or apply tight pressure on their opponents and this is what gave Germany a lot of space to build attacks. As a result, Germany managed to score 2 goals even though the match was still running for 20 minutes. After those 2 goals, Scotland looked very depressed and didn't seem to know what they should do to break the pressure from the Germans.

This big win was a very good start for Germany and will certainly increase their motivation, it's just that they shouldn't get too carried away or they shouldn't be too complacent too early because that could actually end up being a boomerang and it might catch them off guard.
A bad start and a tough match for Scotland against hosts Germany in their first match, and Germany immediately kicked off as soon as the match started which made Scotland unable to move. The hosts played very dominantly and kept Scotland confined to their own playing area which made Germany's movements also look progressive in attacking and creating lots of goals.
And this is a very big difference between Germany and Scotland and makes Scotland unable to move, and Germany dominates the entire game and also controls the field.

It was just a consolation goal because regardless of whether there was a goal or not, the outcome of this match was predictable, the only difference was in terms of betting Wink I also got the same result that I already felt that there was no chance of getting the bet I made for both teams to score especially since Germany dominated so much and Ryan Porteous' red card made it even more difficult but it was fortunate that Rudiger made hope with his own goal in the 3 minutes of normal time before the end.

Germany's game this time is also a bit different to what they showed in the friendlies, whether it is one of Nagelsmann's strategies to keep them unpredictable or they have found a new scheme, the probability of Germany becoming a strong candidate is increasing at the moment.

Today we will see some interesting money matches and my attention is now on Croatia's match against Spain.

Football can only be predictable after full time wistle though Germany was favorite to win that game yesterday but saying that the outcome of the match was predictable for Germany to win is wrong because in football the impossible can be possible that Germany has all it takes to win Scotland and later won doesn't mean the match was predictable.
I remember vividly when South Korea won Germany in the world cup at Kazan in 2018 the match ended 2-0 in favour of South Korea everyone predicted Germany to win that particular game due to there level of Football and quality players but it doesn't work out as predicted so that's football anything can happen that Germany won the game yesterday doesn't really mean the game is predictable. For i have severally watch small team winning the bigger team that's football.
