Portugal is in great form. They had an easy match against Ireland, winning 3-0. Legendary player Ronaldo shows us that age does not matter by scoring 2 goals in this match. Portugal is clearly the favorite in the group. There are important young people in Turkey, but we had bad results in the friendly matches. We lost 2-1 against Poland and drew 0-0 with Italy. Portugal is the clear favorite of the group and I think they will advance to the round by making 3/3. The fight for second place will be very tight. Our first match will be against Georgia and I hope we win.

In Group F, Portugal is the favorite team. I agree because the other three teams still cannot be above Portugal according to analysis which is confirmed because Portugal's performance has been in a positive trend so far. However, I am not really sure that at Euro 2024, Portugal can compete fiercely after the group stage is finished considering that there are other teams in different groups that have more promising players and team performance, such as Spain, England, France and Germany.

No matter how strong Portugal's mainstay player like Cristiano Ronaldo is, he will not have an impact that can make Portugal progress to the final round. Even getting to the semifinals is still questionable.

Portugal is placed in an easy group, and qualifying to the next phase should be very easy for them. They were really good in the match against Republic of Ireland today. More importantly, Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved that age is just a number, with two superb goals. Portugal had an ideal mix of experienced players and younger ones for this match, and the attack was being led by João Félix and Rafael Leão in addition to Ronaldo.
Portugal in Group F and the opponent teams seems not an easy group behind Georgia as the debut national teams success qualifying to Euro 2024 and has two difficult opponent teams Turkiy and Czech Republic national teams.
First match, Portugal will face Czech Republic and the winning on friendly match against Ireland as good opportunity to secure first three points and make easily for leading the Group F standings position, has difficult opponent teams for Portugal against Turkiy on second matches in Euro 2024 but getting two consecutives winning will make automatically qualified to 16 of round.
Cristiano Ronaldo on confidence performance for the first match after success scoring two goals against Ireland last match, will be the sweet memorize for him on the last appearance in Euro 2024?

Group F teams

  • Turkey
  • Georgia
  • Portugal

In a friendly match with Ireland, Portugal won 3 - 0 with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, a first goal is from Joao Felix. In his two goals, the first goal is magnificent and shows Ronaldo's great skills. I believe no goalkeeper can make a save against that shot and with two goals in a last friendly match before Euro 2024, Cristiano shown that he is good enough to appear in Portuguese main squad in this Euro.
Ronaldo is different from other footballers, because even though he is old, he is still able to play a very good game and is also still able to be a very great goal scorer. So he really deserves to be included as a starter in Portugal for the upcoming Euros. Apart from that, Joao Felix also played very well in this match by scoring one goal against Ireland. I think he will be a very valuable asset for the future of the Portuguese national team. The reason is that currently Joao Felix is ​​still very young, so he can definitely continue to develop his talents and abilities to become even greater.

Apart from that, when talking about the Euro, Portugal is in group F with Türkiye, Georgia and the Czechs. In my opinion, Portugal's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are quite big. Because in Group F, the only country that might make things difficult for Portugal is most likely Turkey. Meanwhile I believe Portugal and Czech can easily beat Portugal. Moreover, with Ronaldo's ambition to present his last Euro title to Portugal, it is certain that he will perform optimally at this Euro.

He will have to play alternatively with young players and will not play all minutes in all matches for Portugal at this age.

~Snip
I think Ronaldo is still capable of playing the full 90 minutes at the moment. Because with very disciplined training, his stamina remains strong even when he is old. So in my personal opinion, at the next Euro, Ronaldo will definitely be irreplaceable while he can still play. The reason is, Ronaldo's role is definitely needed on Portugal's front lines. Apart from that, we already know that Ronaldo is a very ambitious figure so he definitely won't want to be replaced, especially if for example Portugal is in an unsafe situation.

I agree with you because friendly matches are considered not be too serious because is just like a match were players decided to warm there legs and also most clubs normally use it as an avenue to try there younger players in other to know if they will be able to perform well if being introduced on the main matches, so just like you said betting on those matches is very risky because it may not actually play the way you will expect it and also most of the coaches will not even care if they win or lose because there major targets is just to try the performance of there Younger players, though there are some friendly matches that normally use all there major players so in a case like that betting on that match will be advisable.
Friendly matches, of course, cannot be our reference to judge how much strength the team has, because basically the coaches make friendly matches only as a warm-up or to maintain the fitness of the players more intensely to prepare their teams to compete in official matches later, so that sometimes the coaches do not instruct their players to appear all out in the match to avoid possible injuries Betting on a friendly is of course something risky because we can't evaluate the actual strength of the two teams in the match.

Playing friendly matches is an important thing for coaches to do, because that way he can find the right lineup to be able to fill the main starting lineup that he will play in official matches, besides that friendly matches are often an experiment for coaches to test the right game schemes and strategies for them to use in the game later,  Apart from giving young players the opportunity to play, because indeed the main focus of friendly matches is for player development and strategy, not just winning.

In his two goals, the first goal is magnificent and shows Ronaldo's great skills. I believe no goalkeeper can make a save against that shot and with two goals in a last friendly match before Euro 2024, Cristiano shown that he is good enough to appear in Portuguese main squad in this Euro.

He will have to play alternatively with young players and will not play all minutes in all matches for Portugal at this age. This match and his general performances in this season with Al Nassr in Saudi Professional League show that he is still useful for his team but the coach must use him cleverly.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been outstanding for Portugal in the past years carry the country along and also doing it currently is something that amused me at times considering his age, his brace In the international friendly game against Ireland has shown that Cristiano Ronaldo is still fit enough to participate fully in the upcoming Euro 2024 at Germany.
Cristiano Ronaldo will perform well in this year Euro 2024 competition considering his good form last season for Al Nassr I believe this Euro 2024 will be his last football dance in this competition for Portugal I believe with his efforts and other of his team mate Portugal will go thus far in this year Euro 2024.

Cristiano Ronaldo is fit enough to play this season, but he is slowly weakening in the future due to the only age barrier. However, no other player can perform as well as Cristiano Ronaldo has been performing so far. Especially Ronaldo performed much better than the youngsters, but even though he performed well enough for Portugal, the Portuguese team became much weaker when he competed with other exceptionally strong teams.  Because the attack department is strong because of Cristiano Ronaldo but the defense department is very weak.

We are on the same track mate despite his age he still play more better than other younger players adding with his football experience too. His two goals against Ireland in the international friendly game shows he is fit enough to perform very well in the upcoming Euro 2024 and also with his performance with Al-Nassr Fc shows Cristiano Ronaldo will perform better in the Euro 2024 the Portuguese team will also be happy having Cristiano Ronaldo in their squard. But this Euro 2024 will be Cristiano Ronaldo last dance in the competition so i believe he will do his magic as usual to make sure Portugal goes far in the competition.

I don't find at all funny to watch friendly games because teams are not giving everything they got and it's just a waste of time in my opinion. They also want to avoid injuries and friendly games purpose are just to make sure you can put in practice what you learned in training because there is no real prize for actually winning a friendly game.

There is also the other side , where people chose to bet on friendly games and they end up losing on odds 1.05 or 1.10 out of nowhere so it's safer to stay out of betting on friendly games.  Grin
Not every nation takes friendly games as "friendly" as you think, most especially North American countries playing against their H2H rivals, but if you're talking about warm-up games before a big tournament, like the Euro friendlies we've been watching the past few weeks, I can't agree less - the experienced players aren't putting in as much effort as they should to avoid unnecessary injuries, while the younger players are putting in more effort to impress the coach and to have a chance.

Bet-wise it's recommended to go with low stake and focus more on the underdogs in pre-tounament friendly games or skip and just enjoy the game, it's called "friendly" for a reason  Grin
I feel like warm up games are more like "lets see who plays how" type of thing and I still think that it is not really that important. I feel like the best thing we could do about this would be just ignoring these games and not betting on them. This is my own opinion, of course anyone is entitled to play and bet on any game they want, but that doesn't mean that they will win, it just means that they will have fun, just like any other game you could win or you could lose, there isn't really anything different.

Just because there is a chance that a great team could lose to a smaller team due to game being friendly, doesn't mean in serious games that won't be the case. Look at Spain and Germany last world cup and you know what I mean.

Friendly matches are not for betting, that's true. Often the coach in friendly matches wants to see what form the player is in and he may make too many substitutions, and the importance of winning is not so great. I rarely watch friendly matches, perhaps only if there are no other matches that I would like to watch. Today we can watch Portugal - Ireland, they may want to win after losing to Croatia, no one wants to start the tournament after several defeats.
I agree with you, friendly matches are not matches you should be betting, as most countries would want to future players that they might not use during a major competition, and sometimes some of the big players don't really take some of the games very serious because nothing is really involve.

Ordinary because of the unseriousness that will be attached to the game, it is not ideal for anybody to place a bet on friendly matches. The importance of friendly matches is mostly to assimilate players together and try to form a team out of them, so it's not a waste of time, is it's one way to easily choice a team formation ahead of a serious competition.
I think friendly matches are the most dangerous in betting because the coach changes new players and constantly renews the players. In this case, there is no discipline in the game and the players do not play seriously. They are more comfortable because it is not an official match. If bets are to be placed, I think they should be placed in tournaments.

I was astonished to learn yesterday that I did not believe he could still be healthy and help the country. Ronaldo, on the other hand, is confident that he can help the country win the Euro if he performs well. Ronaldo is tremendously talented, and I don't believe he is ready to retire from football. He is still doing well on the field, and fans continue to fall in love with him. Let's see how the Euro will be if he can win the trophy, but it won't be simple because they have many countries who are better than them and have key players in the country, but football is unpredictable, so let's see how Portugal will go in the group stage.

If Ronaldo tries his best in the tournament and wins the trophy for his country, it will be his greatest satisfaction this year, and I believe he will do his hardest since he is very hardworking and does not give up easily even if they are no longer in the competition. Let's see how the competition goes, because I believe the Euro will be interesting to watch because there will be no club games, and every player will return to his or her home nation to support the competition in which they will compete.

Portugal goes to the Euros with a win over the Republic of Ireland. Even though it was just a friendly, the victory has boosted their confidence. What I mean success always inspires the winning side, and this impact is the evident. Whiles friendlies are important, but betting on these matches is up to each person. But avoid betting on less serious matches; it might be a good idea.

Portugal is placed in an easy group, and qualifying to the next phase should be very easy for them. They were really good in the match against Republic of Ireland today.

betting on friendly matches is pretty much suicide, I would never do it, they are too unstable matches where the coaches do the tests
so I think exactly like you, I dont like losing money
I like to bet and have an honest percentage of winning
with friendly matches, this is impossible
I advise you against betting on these matches

They need Cristiano Ronaldo in the upcoming Euro's Competition, they should learn from how they treated him during the last Fifa World Cup Competition and work on that, he might be displaying signs of ageing but the experience and IQ he brings into the game is beyond control and not one of these performance you see from players these days.
So many disrespect he has seen since retuning to Manchester United and leaving. I hope he leaves and retires from football in a fine style. If he scores more five goals, then he'll be able to be having 900 country and club league goals in general.

I don't need people or nobody to tell me the kind of player Cristiano Ronaldo is right now.  Tjey should learn to pass the ball to him, give him the services necessary and he'll definitely give you goals.
I'm sure he can score 1000+ goals before retirement. He is indeed the biggest influencer when it comes to the modern day football.

Goodluck to him in the European Competition Ahead ( Kicking off on Friday )

The much-anticipated Euro 2024 tournament begins in two days. I can't name clear favorites yet, because there are a lot of them. But Germany has an advantage over other teams because they will be playing at home. But that will also put a lot of responsibility on them. If Germany can cope with this psychological burden, there is a good chance that they will reach the semifinals at least.

I think judging by the odds in theory there should be no surprise results as the difference of the teams in paper is big enough for everyone to go in favor of the heavy favorite.I mean like in the game of Albania vs Italy most likely everyone will bet on Italy to win,there are other analogies like that which in paper should all make us millionaires  Grin.

I hope that we indeed start making money during this tournament and no bad surprise results happen like in World Cup we saw Arabia beat Argentina and also S Korea win against Germany some years ago.In such competitions like the Euro the nature of the tournament is for a gambler,you either make it or break it.

If a gambler goes to a 1X2 bet, OFC the favorite team will be the choice, that will be a real differentiator even though then will only get odds that tend to be smaller. For gamblers who dare to take risks, it's very unwise to go for a 1X2 bet & choose a team that's not the favorite, because the possibility of that happening is impossible (IMO).

I'm waiting for this event, and can't wait to place a handicap bet on Georgia, I think they will be the underdogs in this EURO event. How about you guys? Do you have a favorite team to bet on?

Some friendlies can make a difference, like yesterday's game between Portugal and Ireland, since this game was the last friendly for Portugal before the start of the tournament, they wanted to win it to start the EURO with a good mood. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand it for myself, and sometimes friendlies are very important for some teams.
