The Spaniards were also lucky in the match with Germany, because Germany had to take a penalty after the defender played hands in the penalty area, but for some reason the referee decided that it was possible to play like that, which means the Spaniards were lucky, otherwise Germany could have been in their place today.

France is a very strong team, and their attack at that Euro looks strange, considering what strong forwards they have at their disposal, but Mbappe once said that there is no necessary interaction with the middle line, that Pogba could find him with a pass anywhere, apparently now everything is not so good, but this does not mean that France has become worse, I think that they just need more time to find their game. This is still a very strong team and they have equal chances of winning today with Spain.

Spain - France semi-final match will be played tonight.
I think the team that wins this match will win the cup. I think Spain is better and they will win the match. I'm sure it will be a good match.
They last played in 2021 and France won the match 2-1.

I admit that England can open up, or rather show itself from a side that it has not shown before. For example, some changes and long passes, because the Netherlands studied the past matches of their opponent and they definitely need to change something to show something new and unexpected. Some people do not expect much from this match, but I think that this will be one of the most exciting matches of the playoff stage and we will see about 3 goals. I don’t really want everything to be decided in penalty shootouts, there have already been too many of them, but it’s a lottery and luck.

i would like to show you this funny cartoon, which shows the two semi-final matches. all 4 nations are also shown how the tournament has gone so far
in my opinion a very funny and successful idea

I agree with you that football sometimes can be considered as a game of luck in must cases because sometimes the club that has the best performance of wining normally end up losing at the end because of a tiny mistake, perhaps that's the reason why knowing the exact team that would win between France and Spain is not easy but however at the end of the match we will no the club that would emerge as the winner. However the other match that also seem very difficult to predict is the match between England and Netherlands, though at first considering the England squad I had a strong hope they would win Netherlands but I realized that anything could be possible on that match because sometimes the underestimated clubs normally turn out to be victorious at the end, so perhaps what do you believe will be the outcome of the match between Netherlands and England tomorrow?.

It seems the reason why this season is not much interesting like every other season could be that most of the players have not really recovered very well from there various league competition because I can't figure out the reason why almost all the countries did not perform the way they use to, well I believe the next Euro will not turn out this way in terms of there performance because I believe it will be challenging than this season.

I personally also favor Spain to be the winner in the match against France, but so far, if you look at the scores from the results of France's matches, goals have always been scored from the opposing team's own goals and also goals from penalty kicks. However, I personally certainly cannot underestimate France, even though I personally favor Spain who will win in the semifinals because so far I have seen France's extraordinary defense, which makes me confident that it will make it a little difficult for Spain to break through the French defense.

Yes, luck is always on France's side and I personally when I saw France's match against Portugal, to be honest, I personally wasn't happy to see Portugal lose because I idolized Portugal who won that match and wanted Portugal to win the Euro. Yes, it was a shame that Felix's kick hit the goal post and to be honest, I was also surprised when Felix couldn't execute the penalty kick well.

Yes, I personally also agree with you and I also want to support Spain in the semifinal match and of course I want to bet on Spain winning. and it does seem like Spain is better prepared than France because I see the Spanish squad is stronger than France.but of course Mbappe and his friends will definitely play their best in that match which will definitely be a very exciting match.

While I don't see France winning this trophy even if they got the opportunity to win at the semi-finals, I can't agree with you when you based their achievements on luck because you make it look like their efforts don't count but it actually does. The thing is, they might not be able to make outstanding goals or be the highest goal scorers but the pressure they come with and their persistence is what ai think have taken them this far. Nevertheless, I see more chances of winning from national teams like Spain, Netherlands and England. If France can beat Spain today, their chances will become higher than that of England and Netherlands. I am of the opinion that it is only Spain that can truly stop these guys from winning the trophy. An opportunity which they have today.

I think that the match that Spain-Germany played would easily have been a possible final, we must say that the level this year is really poor the teams don't seem to have a game strong teams like France don't seem to have an organization in their game they are strong only on individuals and even if they seem stronger on paper they don't have a game and seem lost instead I have seen much less strong teams like the Swiss have more game than these big teams who are considered the teams to beat

Spain so far can be considered as the most consistent team in Euro Cup because since group stages Spain always be win with total gets 5 wins until reach to the semifinal and the most impressive is when they can beat host team Germany dramatically and according to the odds too currently Spain also can be considered as the first favourite to win the trophy in this competition but for today Spain will lost some players because confirmed Pedri, Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal will be absense

About Spain opponent France i know their performance is far to expected but at least they can able reach to the semifinal and until quarterfinal France had a problem with their productivities because their striker seems is hard to scores and imagined France only can scores 3 goals since group stages until quarterfinal even 2 from those goals they got from own goals their opponents but surprisingly France can go this far

And actually this match is really hard to predicted because although if we compared the performance between them Spain is much better but we cannot be underestimate France especially during this tournament France defensive lines is very strong and from 5 matches France only conceded 1 goal so i assume France will be focusing to their defense and let Spain to control the game and about the outcomes of this match i was thinking the possibility will ended to draw at the normal time and the odds for draw is quite high @2.85

I wouldn't look at France's xG stats... Out of the last five matches they have scored in only three and everywhere it was only one goal... Spain have scored 11 goals in their last five matches and they have scored in every game... I think that France will be unlucky today, although Spain will not play several key players... I expect Spain to win, but it will probably be a draw in regulation time...

Yea, it's a very good option to bet on, because in as much as the Spanish team is on fire right now, I don't advice you bet against France, you know why? They are that kind of team that wouldn't play well and will get the job done, they knows how to win ugly, those kind of team, fear them because they are mostly giant killers.

Secondly, if you look at this France team, they are fill with makers of the ball, though they haven't been pleasant on the eyes of most football fans, but their type of playing makes it very difficult for most of their oppositions, so I believe that this particular encounter between them and the Spanish team will definitely going to a tight contested affair, so placing your bet on both teams to score is really a good option to take, and I believe that both teams will get a goal in this particular encounter.

I still don't want France to be in the semifinals because they only rely on luck without showing a game that is refreshing to the eye. From the group stage until now they have only scored 1 goal and 2 own goals from their opponents and it is clear how much luck they have.

I can only hope that today Spain can shake off the luck brought by France and everyone will definitely support Spain to reach the final round or even become European champions this year. Coach Luis de la Fuente is a coach who is able to make Spain return to its glory days and I hope this will continue and not just stop at the Euro 2024 competition.

Based on stats alone, France has a decent xG from what I've seen. Some websites reported they have created at least 1.2 xG per match in this competition, which is quite high. If they managed to convert more of them they should be able to score more than 1 goal on average. So one way to read this is that they have a finishing issue. Not sure if they can fix this against Spain, but if the stats are to be trusted they do have the upper hand. Hopefully, the match is entertaining, especially as a semi-final match.

The first impression I saw from the attached screenshot is goals scored by two teams France and Spain which are 3 and 11 respectively. It shows that Spain are more effectively with their attacks and more goal productive than France. If we analyze it further, among 3 goals of France so far, only 1 goal scored by themselves but it comes from a successful penalty of Mbappe. Other 2 goals are from their opponents, own goals.

Spain oppositely, have 11 goals so far and they scored these goals mostly by Spanish players, only one OG by Italian defender Calafiori.

I highlighted Spanish players who scored goals so far: Ruiz, Olmo (2 goals for each player); and Morata, Carvajal, Torres, Rodri, Williams, Le Normand (og), Merino with 1 goal for each.

There are 8 players scored goals for Spanish, not counting an OG from Le Normand.

I agree with you that Spain has a good performance and they have been scoring goals since the beginning of the tournament to eliminate their opponents but you should understand that we are talking about football here and anything can happen, we all know that France is unable to score goals in this tournament but gradually they are in the semi-final now, France is not like other countries that Spain can score easily, France defensive position is so good and they are even stronger than Germany defenders, in the match against Germany and Spain we all see that Germany defensive change, Rudiger and schlotterbeck are the one defending before but due to the match suspension schlotterbeck did not play in the match and that affects their defense position.

I didn’t say that Spain can not defeat France but we should understand that we are talking about a game here and if we later see France defeating Spain we should not be surprised because it can happen, cavajal is not going to be in the match against France because he has a suspension after getting red card in the match and without cavajal in the position Mbape is going to enjoy the game and be dribbling any player they use to play in that position, Spain should just be careful in this match if not they will not like what they will see at the end of the match, just an hour’s to go and we will all see the result of the match.

I think many people would like to see the final Spain - Netherlands, partly because many will be interested to repeat the 2010 World Cup final and see who wins this time, and partly because France and England play similar, very boring soccer and few people like to watch such soccer.
In general, we can say that Spain saved this Euro with its beautiful and attacking game and the sympathy of most fans I believe on the side of Spain. We see a new generation of Spanish national team players, such as Olmo, Yamal, Pedri, Ferran Torres, who can repeat the success of Vila, Iniesta, Xavi.

from the way i look at this match, it's going to be way easier for Spain to trash out France than it was for them against Germany. I can't underate France quality both individually and collectively and surely fans would be expecting kelian mbape to get to the finals with his team but the reality is that this season isn't for your regular faces that have been in the limelight for so long. Spain young stars like Niko Williams and yamal have already taken the spot light and have become the favourite to play at the finals.

Right from the group stage, Spain has put up an exceptional performance and surely they deserve to be in the finals. It wouldn't be an easy game as usual  but I'm not threatened about the possibility of France wining this match, maybe because Eduardo Camavinga and ngolo kante are strong and creative wall at the France midfield, possession wise France might get a slight advantage but in terms of having an attacking mindset, dembele and mbape all combined together might nit have what it takes to equal what Niko Williams, yamal and morata can come up with from the Spanish point of view. At the end, it's likely going to be a finals between Spain and England 📌

What you guys gonna bet in this match?

I had no idea to bet in moneyline or which team to qualify since both of them have chances, it just that Spain has higher chance than France. I see that Spain always score, while France only score 3 from 5 matches in EURO. Even though France performance not really good at the present, but they're in semi final match, so I believe they should able to score.

This is why I choose to bet both teams to score.

The France team will never let go of this final opportunity, as they will try hard to win this season's Euro Cup. Although the Spain squad for this game tomorrow is strong enough. Since the beginning of this season, Spain team has been performing quite well, that's why this game has more people betting in favor of Spain team. Because gamblers know which team they are more confident in, but if Spain team can enter the final, it will surely win the title. Because the opposing teams are relatively less strong, we have to wait for the semi-final match to see what results come out.


Yes, it must be admitted that the Spain team reached the semi-final match by playing a very competitive game. That's why I am more confident that tomorrow's match will definitely bring a positive result for the Spain team. Alvaro Morata, Rodri will depend a lot on Spain team's results as they are the right and middle point of the first attacking department. And the Spain team is quite strong in terms of defense and goalkeeper.

Spain is high in confidence after beating Germany so dramatically. The match against France in the semifinals is a match that Alvaro Morata and his friends must win in order to go far into the final and even become champions. However, the problem was that the Matador Team had to lose several key players, which weakened their strength. Carvajal's loss will definitely be felt because he doesn't have a suitable replacement, and on that side it is also a tough job, namely having to face Mbappe, who is known to be very strong and sharp.

So I see that the winning mentality favors France even though they have not been able to perform spectacularly, but their squad is really very complete.
