I also hope to not see so much politics involved in the matches, and im talking about this because two of the national teams who are involved are Ukrayne and Israel and we all know they are at top focus for mass media, and im very oppose to see sports and politics mixed.

I agree with you as long as the football players representing those countries do not involve themselves in politics because if they do I am fully convinced they need to be banned from the competition to keep sports clean from politics.The problem is as with every thing else in real life politics is involved everywhere and football is no exception to this,we have seen many circumstances where politics have made not so much of a correct decision.

The teams involved in war like those mentioned above should only focus on football to cheer up their citizens with Ukraine being in an over 2 year war with Russia is surely the team I would cheer for more than others but that is just my opinion.I know this upcoming Euro Cup will be great to enjoy.

On Thursday, teams that still have a chance to qualify for Euro 2024 will play their matches. Ukraine will play with Bosnia and Herzegovina. What do you think about this match? In my opinion, Ukraine has a chance to beat this opponent. In other matches, the confrontation between Israel and Iceland will not be simple, by the way, the winner of this pair will play with the winner of Bosnia - Ukraine.

I assume that Greece will be able to beat Kazakhstan, and Poland should not have problems with Estonia, but in the match Wales - Finland it is difficult for me to determine the favorite, although Wales seems stronger, Finland can also show very meaningful football, although it will be easier for Wales at Cardiff City, than Finland away.
Ukraine vs Bosnia and Herzegovina is probably the most difficult match to predict, because the strength of the teams seem to be equal, as well as Israel Iceland, but in the case of Iceland can play a factor of morale of the team, which in Icelanders is very strong and even though they do not perform as well as before, but the Icelandic team has character and they usually always fight to the end.
Otherwise I agree and expect Poland to win over Estonia and Greece to win over Kazakhstan. Wales is also objectively stronger than Finland and can play both from defense and in attacking soccer, but the Finnish team usually plays second number and usually do not play attacking soccer.


Ukraine Bosnia and Herzegovina. On paper Ukraine is superior. but I'm sure Bosnia will dominate the game. We know that Bosnia has a solid team in my opinion. Waiting for the sharpness of strikers, Edin Dzeko and midfield general Miralem Pjanic. But Bosnia is certainly not just Edin Dzeko and Pjanic. They are very solid, I'm sure they will dominate the match.

Ukraine have been experiencing really tough days for a long while due to the war you know.  Sad  But it is still nice to see the national team being able to make it to the elimination round here. I think they are a serious favourite against Bosnia & Herzegovina tomorrow night. The odds for Ukraine win are 1.90 now which could be given a chance though.

The question is about if they can they do this job in regular time. What do you think?

I believe Ukraine have an important chance to qualify for Euro 2024 also as they are strong enough to defeat Israel or Iceland in next round.  Smiley

Bosnia is a good team, but for some reason I have no doubt that Ukraine will beat them. Perhaps I am assessing this match from the position of a fan of my team, but we now have really good guys, we have very strong defensive players, world-class goalkeepers and a very solid attack, so I have almost no doubt that Ukraine will beat Bosnia. In general, it is realistic for Ukraine to get into the final part of the EURO.

What a horrible shirst made Adidas this time  for some teams.

Not just by Adidas - I struggle to find a kit that I like. French's 2nd one is pure class, but looks more like a kit made for USA and not France.
Things like Netherlands' 2nd one need no comment at all - they had fantastic 2nd kits before whereas this one looks like a pijama party gone wrong.

Generally, I like the modern kits less and less. Croatian one is a disgrace - looks like a rugby kit.

I think that Poland have the easiest game among all teams and they should be able to beat Estonia without any problem. I think two goals difference shouldn't be that hard either. Greece game should be easy for them too.
Georgia and Ukraine are favourite in my opinion against Luxembourg and Bosnia respectively. Bosnia are a little bit challenging but they are fluctuating more than Ukraine.
I agree that Wales - Finland might be the trickiest one. I tend to think that Wales will win this match and we might see both teams to score.

It is true that many people retired from football before the age Ronaldo is still playing football. Cristiano Ronaldo does not consume any alcohol nor does he drink any soft drinks and he lives his life in a strict regime and regularly does all the activities including exercise due to which he has been able to keep his body completely fit till now. Although he can keep his body fully fit, he may be slowly losing his speed and his football skills. It happens after a certain age, the pace and speed that Cristiano Ronaldo used to run and the speed that he had are no longer there and he can't do them even if he wanted to. We have to be satisfied with the way Cristiano Ronaldo is performing at this age and appreciate his performance.
On the point of speed of course I agree with you, because indeed with age it will make Ronaldo's speed decrease, but in terms of skills I don't think age will be too influential, because after all skill is something that is produced based on training, experience and also someone hard work so I think it has no effect at all on someone's age,  Nowadays there are a lot of footballers who have retired and even when there are exhibition matches that are devoted and played by former footballers then we can see if they can still display their techniques and skills in playing.

At his current age, of course, Ronaldo is still working hard to be able to maximize his performance in playing and maybe even he works harder than players younger than him, besides that as he gets older, of course experience will also increase and players like Ronaldo are no longer expected to be able to give 100% performances like when he was young, but sometimes coaches are more inclined to make him a leader on the field To give motivation to the young squad and I think also Ronaldo will play smarter which does not require physical intensity in supporting his team.

If we look at Cristiano Ronaldo's age, we can understand why his performance has deteriorated so much. When Cristiano Ronaldo was in the prime of his career, the simple dribbling bicycle kicks that he did easily free kicks, but we don't see that kind of dribbling from him now. We have seen in several video clips of him repeatedly failing to dribble something simple. We sometimes say age is just a number but age is not just a number but age is a huge fact especially for an athlete. As a player ages, his speed slows down as well as his breath which results in him not being able to perform as well as before. Maybe we will miss the current performance from Cristiano Ronaldo in 2026 World Cup.

Ronaldo age has actually now entered the final end of career a football player, but because Ronaldo continues to be able to maintain a diet and continue to keep his performance and physique healthy it is not surprising that Ronaldo can continue to perform as well as he is today, many of the 39-year-old players even choose to retire because they realize that they can no longer perform well on the field,  But Ronaldo actually chose to continue playing and show us that age is not something that can hinder someone career.

Even for this year's Euros Portugal still continues to pin their hopes on Ronaldo to be a differentiator in the team, it Seems that the Portuguese coach understands that Ronaldo is needed by Portugal not only because of his dribbling skills, free kicks and even his Sharpness in Scoring goals, but the spirit of leadership and also being able to burn team spirit is one of the Advantages possessed by Ronaldo,  Many people say that Ronaldo will retire after Euro 2024, but in fact Ronaldo actually hinted that he would continue to play and try his luck again at the 2026 World Cup with Portugal.

I thought the Cup will be start in very soon, but actually it will start in the next three weeks lol.

Ronaldo will try anything to win the Euro Cup since he wasn't able to win World Cup, he might be lost his speed and dribble skills, but he's still able to score a goal.

I only think France, Belgium and Portugal can become a champion because England is always unlucky and Spain is no longer Spain that we were know.

Yes, there are only a few weeks left for the promotion semi-finals to start.  Wink  By the way I think that the last 3 teams to join the main tournament will be Poland, Ukraine and Greece but let's see.

Unfortunately Ronaldo isn't close to his old times when it comes to skill moves, yes. I watched a video clip of him recently in which he was quite bad at doing one-on-one.  Sad  But it is normal of course as he has got very old. He can still play as target forward and finish the attacks with goals with deadly final touches indeed.

England have been unlucky but actually they really have a huge potential with that powerful squad. About Belgium I don't see the same old team. They could have actually won a Euro title with a golden generation.

Belgium's golden generation has begun to age, aka it's finished. from Lukaku, Kevin Debruine. even many have retired too, such as Radja Nainggolan Vincent Company. and the Belgian coach who brought Belgium to be respected has also resigned after the Roberto Martinez World Cup, who is now the Portugal coach. so it is very difficult for Belgium to become a euro champion.
Belgium is a long way from that great old Generation. I think it will be very difficult to establish a team similar to this wonderful team for many years to come. I have hope from Turkey. Our young stars shine in our team. We have a situation similar to Belgium's golden generation. We have important young players such as Arda Güler, Semih Kılıçsoy, Can Uzun and these three players are only 18 years old. There is also Kenan Yıldız. He is also 18 years old. When we add experienced names to the young squad of the national team, I think we can be one of the surprise candidates for the Euro 2024 tournament. Arda Güler needs to play a little more to be ready for the tournament. I hope Ancelotti gives him enough chances.

Ronaldo is still needed by the Portuguese national team, he is a balance between generations, leadership in the dressing room and on the field is difficult to find among other players. Indeed, in terms of Ronaldo age, it is time to hang up his boots and let other young players show their talents, but all decisions are in his own hands. Any coach will still consider Ronaldo in his lineup, because the impact of not calling Ronaldo could be very big.

Ronaldo motivation to play in the upcoming Euros and World Cup in 2026 is still very high, of course it all depends on his fitness which is very vulnerable because he is very old for a professional player. It is possible that Ronaldo will decide to retire from the Portuguese national team after the Euros, his physical condition has now decrease greatly. I predict that Ronaldo will not appear again at the 2026 World Cup, considering that he will be over 41 years old.
Ronaldo currently has a contract with Al Nassr until 2025, and he has confirmed he wants to extend his contract until 2027 with Al Nassr because he is happy to be in Arabia, if Ronaldo extends his contract until 2027 with Al Nassr Isn't that a sign that he is ready to play in the 2026 world cup, now Ronaldo's age has reached 39 years and I think he will still be able to play in the world cup later even though he is old 41 years old.

Maybe some of us here doubt that footballers can be active until the age of 41 years like Ronaldo, but I think it can happen because indeed all this time we know that Ronaldo is a footballer who continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and even he really avoids unhealthy foods and avoids alcoholic and soft drinks, besides that to maintain a healthy lifestyle he hires a nutritionist to control his health every day,  I think if you compare Ronaldo with a player of his age now, doesn't Ronaldo look younger and also have better stamina now and even reportedly he will retire after the 2026 World Cup, actually we should not be surprised to see how a player can continue to play at the age of 40 optimally as long as he can maintain his health and I think Zlatan Ibrahimovich can be a real example when he retire in 2023.

I think Ronaldo can still play his last Euro Cup for the 2024 Euro finals,I know that he is well fit and that his form has not at all deteriorated while playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi League of football.By the way less than 90 days divide us by this fantastic event which not only will we enjoy watching but who does not make money out of such events is a true loser as it is exactly in such competitions that people make a lot of money,tons of markets as always for the national teams.

I doubt though that Ronaldo will prove strong enough to guide them to another title yet in 2016 Albania was part of the Euro 2016 where Portugal won that competition and now they are again part of Euro 2024,superstition?May be but let's see.

A new away jersey for Belgium has also become official! It is inspired by The Adventures of Tintin TV series. I really didn't know that this TV series was Belgian made.  Smiley

What do you think on the jersey by the way? I think that it looks really cool.  Grin  One can wear it outside as well because of its looking like a regular shirt at the same time. I would like to see this kind of different designs by national teams or football teams more in the future. Maybe this jersey would bring some luck to Belgium in Euro 2024 as well.  Tongue  But they aren't one of my top favourites to become champions now.
