What they should have scored and taken the lead at the start of the match turned out to be that they were 1 goal behind Iceland. Who knows what Serhiy Rebrov was thinking, he preferred Roman Yaremchuk to Artem Dovbyk in the starting line up, creating chaos in the first half at the moment.

1 goal behind currently creates a -1.5 handicap for bettors who pick Ukraine in desperation, no Ukraine 3 - 1 Iceland here in the end, the most sensible outcome might be Ukraine 2 - 1 Iceland or Ukraine 1 - 1 Iceland and on to ET or penalty.

Twenty years after Euro 2004, but Greece still plays with the same tactics. Socrates might have played football with the same tactics in the streets of Athens 2500 years ago.😅 In fact, it is a reasonably good tactic for them, but there is a big difference between the squad of 20 years ago and the squad of today. I immediately thought of Karagounis. He is one of the talents that world football has been missing for a long time. We should not forget star players like Giannakopoulos and Charisteas. I sometimes compare Greece and Turkiye with each other. Sometimes these two countries have a golden generation and come to the stage of world football, but sometimes they get such results because their talent pool is narrow.

 The last thing I expected was that Georgia would be able to beat Greece, at some point the game became cautious, because everyone understood the cost of a mistake, and when it came to penalties, luck played a role. Of the current matches, I doubted the victory of Greece the least, and in the remaining two matches the winner is not clear to me, I assume that Wales and Ukraine will qualify for the final part of the Euro.

Georgia - Greece

thank you today's game is not going well for georgia who had the misfortune of seeing one of their players receive a red card and it made georgia's situation a lot more complicated as at the moment the game still remains without a goal, but the funniest thing is that georgia's player Georgia received a red card in the 1 half but even so Greece has not been able to score a goal, even playing against only 10 players from Georgia it is still very difficult for Greece to score a goal, I see that this game will drag on until to penalties and honestly it will be a huge disappointment if the game goes to penalties and Greece loses the game. and it is doubtful that the players from Georgia will celebrate a lot for managing to win the game even with 10 players in the 1 half

Wales - Poland

This is a game in which Wales is being seen as the favorite by the bookmakers and in my opinion that makes perfect sense, although it is not a huge favoritism, Wales are still the favorites in this game. Poland despite having a good player, the rest of the squad seems to me to be very weak which hasn't helped much, so in this game I see that both teams have the same chances of winning, this is another one of those games that is very complicated to predict who will be the winner, Poland can be inconsistent when they want, I've bet on them in the past and in a game where they played against a very weak team that even I thought there was no chance of them losing, but they managed to surprise me negatively when they lost . After that I avoided betting on Poland and I will continue to avoid

Ukraine - Iceland

Ukraine is without a doubt a team that is surprising me a lot, even with so many problems that their country faces, which has harmed their local league, yet the Ukrainian national team continues to play well and in this game Ukraine is being seen as the favorite team to win, although I also agree with Ukraine's favoritism, I still see this odds in favor of Ukraine as being a very low odds, their opponent is not a very weak opponent to be underestimated, in my opinion Ukraine they must be very careful with the opponent and they must fight to score goals early and then focus on defense to win this game

I hope Georgia goes through, seeing just 10 minutes of today's game brings back some horrible memories of Greek football.

Georgia has never qualified to a big championship before, right? One more reason to root for them in the penalty shootout.
I really love Kvaratskhelia as a player - hope he leaves Napoli this season.

Tell me that you haven't see many Greece game withiout telling me that you haven't seen many Greece games.  

I would like to see Greece going to Euro, but not sure if they deserve it since Georgia has been playing with 10 players the whole 2nd half and they didn't manage to do much. Then again, few minutes ago they hit the bar so they were kinda unlucky.  But yeah, most likely we gonna see penalties here.

This is really like the most boring game ever.    I thought it would be a competitive game but this wasn't what I was expecting to watch. It is a big shame that there was only 1 goal attempt in total in whole 90 minutes.

I don't think we will watch any goal in extra time. If it happens it would be a big surprise. If we move on with penalty shootout I'm favouring Greece to advance to Euro 2024.

What do you think about the other games which is starting in less than an hour? I'm favouring Ukraine and Poland to advance. Ukraine's job looks easier on paper. But maybe there might be a chance to see at least extra time in the Wales - Poland duel. 

Poland, I think let those who qualify. For me Wales and Poland are both good teams that make it difficult for us to provide accurate predictions considering both of them want to escape.


Greece has the opportunity to win in this match. Greece is more dominant until the match enters the last minute even though Georgia and Greece are still unable to make one goal.
If in the midst of Greek dominance it turns out that Georgia is able to score goals, it is very unfortunate.

60 minutes into the game and we have only one goal on target in the Georgia vs Greece game , not sure if the stage the competition has got simply produces less to no goals but this is definitely a boredraw...but then again such games can easily change in a blink of an eye shoulf a goal come, which will force the other team to want to equalise and tie the game, otherwise I have seen more cards in this came than goals & hope this will change soon.

Inplay prediction Georgia 1-0 Greece

** Come on Ref/VaR save us from this boredraw**

Playoff A Wales vs Poland
Both of them are good teams. And could make difference on their group. I think Poland would be a better team among them even though rating favors wales.

Playoff B Ukraine vs Iceland
There are rumors of Ukraine being let into Eurocup but that could be a conspiracy theory. I'd still bet on Ukraine.

Playoff C Georgia vs Greece
Greece is the favourite here. I still remember the game where they win the Eurocup finals. They should at least win a position at the tournament this time.

As the three matches concludes, we'd have the final draw for the Euro 2024.

On paper it looks that now Ukraine have easier opponent than in previous round, Bosnia and Herzegovina had more high level players than Iceland. Odds aren't high, but I'm backing Ukraine to win. In other pair Greece is considered as favorites, but Georgia win wouldn't be surprise for me at all. Going with over 1.5 goals. And Wales - Poland is most difficult game to predict, no idea about it at all.

I think all the matches here are difficult to predict. All pairs of teams are very interesting and I think there is no clear favorite in any match, even in the Poland-Wales match. Wales defeated a rather strong team from Finland and scored 4 goals, while Poland scored 5 goals, but to a weaker Estonia, so I think there is no clear favorite. Iceland can as usual show character and beat Ukraine, although on paper Ukraine is the favorite.
Greece and Georgia are equal teams and everything will be decided by chance and the one who is luckier will win.

There isn't a single time Georgia defeating Greece so far despite playing 8 times in their history. I still expect the final score to be pretty close though but I think Greece would advance to next round with or without extra time.    Ukraine - Iceland isn't much difficult to predict truthfully. Ukraine should be able to defeat them nicely. Iceland aren't a decent team. It is very rare we see them achieving something.

Wales - Poland... It is quite tricky though. Wales are favoured by bookies but the odds are really close of course. I would rather try my luck with Poland here. Wales aren't as strong as before and Poland have a good history against them lately.

The Turkish national team have a very young squad. They have young footballers like Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız. Also, they don't have a stable squad. Also, Vicenzo Montella has just taken charge of the team. We can say that they have many disadvantages in this regard. But we can also say that they are promising for the future. The offensive line consisting of Semih Kılıçsoy, Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız can do great things. If everything goes well, they can turn into a good team. It won't happen in this tournament, but I think it can happen in the next tournaments.

Turkey has an unpredictable football style. They can score very good goals in some matches, the team play is very good. Sometimes they can't even pass the ball, they concede very simple goals.
I hope they don't make stupid mistakes and lose matches in the tournament. We cannot say that the player quality is bad, but I cannot say that the team gives me confidence. They look like they could make a mistake at any moment

The Euro qualifiers are here and we will be watching the top games. We should be able to decides the easy running of these games, very simple and straight to forecast. These are important fixtures and winning is unique and consider essential on our ends. I'm more interested in Wales vs Poland because both sides have been outstanding and having quite good players to take it upon themselves to win matches. Prior to my opinion, Poland will eliminate Wales because they happen to be the upper hand, not minding the small odds but what matters is obtaining strict winnings.

Turkey's last opponent in the group will be the winner of the Georgia-Greece match. Portugal and Czech Republic are in the same group as Turkey. I hope Greece will be the last team of the group. Because in terms of motivation, Greece against Turkey would increase the motivation and competition in the tournament and cause us to watch a more enjoyable tournament.
Greece can cause difficulties for many teams in the group with their solid defense. Greece is definitely a team that can cause trouble in tournaments. If Turkey gets out of this tough group, they will be one of the biggest candidates for the cup. Turkey is my secret favorite team in the tournament with its young and dynamic squad.

I think I agree, but Ukraine wasn't playing badly. They had big issues to score a goal though and Bosnia took the lead due to an own goal, so they only conceded because of that. They were dominating the game for the most part and I think they played a solid match. But what makes me suspicious is the pretty good performance by Iceland vs. Israel. That's why I think the odds @1.45 are a bit off here. Iceland played very straightforward and created chance after chance and scored well accordingly. That's why I do agree that the odds should be more like 1.8 or something. It is not as if Ukraine will beat Iceland easily.

Wales vs. Poland is an interesting suggestion. I think you have a point there. 

I think after scaping from the game on Bosnia they are gonna be in on Euro no matter what, and Iceland is not more the iceland from other years who surprise the world of football, stilla  good team but not at the level of this Ukrayne.

Poland give me more doubst than Ukrayne, Poland national team is always a coin in the air.

Actually in this case there is a star player or not in the end it is not a guarantee even though what you say is true when there are several players who can be used as a reference such as Lewa in Poland it will be very good but in the end in other conditions a team cannot depend on their fate on just one player in a match as well as for now because it would be ridiculous if they only relied on Lewandowski alone and we also become unobjective in judgment if we only look at Wales with Bale or Poland with Lewandowski alone.

There are still some players who are very troublesome for these two teams apart from Bale and Lewandowski because seeing now the Welsh players also have good flying hours especially when in the EPL and Championship competitions because seeing from the current Wales squad list almost all are and play in the highest caste and second caste competitions in the EPL which can be a good capital for them.
The presence of star players will indeed be a good indication for a club but on the other hand cooperation and chemistry can sometimes destroy it because when Wales do not have players who stand out too much they will do something else where teamwork becomes a goal to win and this is still possible to happen.
Although on a h2h basis now they are still very different compared to Poland who have always excelled in every meeting but now there must be an improvement and there is no way Wales want another defeat in this match.
