If we look at these matches, the ones that deserved it the most were Germany and Spain. They also met in the quarter finals. They showed us an excellent match and Spain advanced to the next round. I think Spain will eliminate France in the semi-finals, but we must also say that the French defense was very good throughout the tournament. If Spain can get past this defensive block, they can easily score a few goals. It will be one of the most enjoyable matches

I agree with you that France and England are very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals. Despite having two of the strongest squads in the Euros, their performances were very poor. Spain and the Netherlands are in a very good overall position compared to France and England.

But France and England are lucky. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if these two teams win in the semi-finals. Both these teams have the potential to qualify for the finals. But the performances of the players of both the teams are weak and erratic. But personally I think the most deserving team to win the Euro title is Spain. I will be very happy if Spain wins the title.

Spain have been able to show how powerful they have been in this competition with their young players showcasing their individual talents so it will be good to see them become the Champions of this EURO 2024 because they fought so hard with outstanding performance to get this far. The combination of Avaro Morata, Nico William and Pedri is a very big treat to every team they have played and they are more forceful in their pattern of play. France also have talented players well such as Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and N'Golo Kanté but they didn't show any signs that they can reach the finals even though they managed to win Portugal on penalties in the quarter finals but we all saw that Portugal played better than France but they ran out of luck. Spain is the favourite to reach the final stages and there's is no doubt about it because between England or Netherlands which none of them can withstand the pressure of Spain now so I choose Spain to win the finals.

I definitely agree. Spain have a significant chance to become the champions. I like their game the most so far. They have put a really big character on their games. They showed how it is done against Germany also.  

I don't think France can eliminate them with this game. Yeah, I know they just don't concede a goal easily. But they can't score many goals at the same time. Even 2 out of 3 goals they scored so far are own goals.  

Spain like to play fast. France will try to keep the game under control by lowering the tempo surely. I hope Spain don't get affected badly by that. I want to see them in the finale and lifting the trophy at the end.

It was a really good Euro and although there could have been fewer teams, but the most amazing thing is that there were no openly weak teams and even the Polish national team seemed to score one point in the end and there was a situation when all teams in all groups scored points.

I was surprised by a very boring and inconclusive game of the favorites, England, France, Belgium, but the national team of Spain and Georgia on the contrary surprised with a very strong and productive game.
Also it seems to me that the possibility for the 4 teams that took 3rd place in their groups to go to the playoffs is not very fair.
Although, for example, now the Dutch national team, having taken the 3rd place in their group has already reached the semifinals.

I think there is no problem in saying Spain directly. Spain will probably be champions. Germany was their only opponent and they managed to get past them with a nice game. They played at an intense tempo for 120 minutes and the Netherlands became the winning team in just 90 minutes. Both teams will be tired, but I think Spain will become champions in the final by beating first France and then the next opponent.

England apparently play in the mode of saving forces, because the second match as soon as England concede, they immediately after a couple of minutes to get back and bring the matter to extra time. The England national team has an excellent selection of players, perhaps the best since the time when Lampard and Gerrard played, but the game England shows boring, but still to the semifinals team Southgate reached the semifinals. Of course now even after the defeat to Holland Southgate will not be fired, but I think that England can beat Holland, although I also expect an equal game.
But I think that the champion of Europe will be determined in the match Spain-France.

The reason why England did not put up an impressive performance was because of the coach's strategy. I often see England as a boring team in a match, even though they have a very strong squad compared to other teams. Strikers, attacking midfielders, wingers, midfielders, defenders are all top players, but the team's performance is very far from expectations.

I can't expect England to suddenly play well in the semifinals, but I think England will reach the final at Euro 2024 and win the title. Even though England is boring in many ways, I still support England to qualify for the final and win the title. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about England and its odds, but England is one of the favorites in this tournament. In my opinion, England and France will reach the final.

This was the exact situation that happened between Germany and Spain. It was all similar odd selection by the bookmakers. And you're analysis is what actually played in that match. Some people were expecting both teams to score in the match between Germany and France forgetting that it is Euro competition and not local league and they are already in the quarter finals. If full time draw will be very risky, HT draw could also be a good selection for bet.
But I do much avoid this type of matches, unless I decide to gamble for fun. In reality and both on paper, Spain is more formidable than France and it would be so unfair if France scale through while the mist consistent team from the beginning of this tournament goes home.

France and England were the two teams that reached the semi-finals with luck. Especially, France abnormally reached the semi-finals with only 3 goals, 2 of which were scored by the opponents' own goal and one was scored from a penalty. Now, I think both England and France will be eliminated in the semi-finals and they will not be able to advance to the final. They may be considered successful at Euro 2024, but I think they had an absolutely unsuccessful tournament.

England's attack, midfield and defense are all very strong. But still we don't see good performance as expected from England players in past matches. Our expectations were higher from a big team like England. Although England qualified for the semi finals, we did not see the expected good performance from the England players.

England were lucky against Switzerland so they won. Despite having such a strong midfield and attack, England's players managed only 3 on target shots against Switzerland. The defense of the Netherlands is also very strong. That's why I think it's very difficult for England to win against Netherlands.

Yeah, definitely Spain is a big favorite to win the UEFA EURO Cup, and soon they will be champions because from my point of view Spain has good players in their squads. Every player has the ability to do his job very well, and they also have a good tactical stance. Put all these points in perspective, and I strongly believe that Spain will be the champion of the tournament. Besides that France also has the possibility of reaching the final, but I think France doesn't have any good players who take responsibility on their shoulders, like in the midfield area. I mean they don't have any strong midfielders who've contributed to the match too well, i.e., Paul Pogba, Kanta, etc. While spain has good midfielders as compared to France, and everyone knows that if a team has a strong midfield then they have a high chance of playing the match with a dominant performance....

Every semi-final match is very difficult to predict now, in fact I have to admit and agree that in all probability the penalties would seem reasonable to determine who will progress to the final. The France vs Spain match is the most exciting one to look forward to, but the England vs Netherlands match will also be great.

France and England have basically not performed very well so far, but both teams have a lot of good players who in turn can be dangerous for any opponent. Spain and the Netherlands have to be very careful, but each team should not underestimate each other and say something that is not important to their opponent.

In terms of their performance, Spain have demonstrated a remarkable game play, one that many onlookers have found impressive. Their mastery in managing the game flow while being able to find the back of the net at critical junctures has left quite an impact. The recent win over Germany, who also ranks as one of the top contenders in this championship, speaks volumes about their caliber and the hunger for victory that drives them. On the other hand, France seems to be struggling despite boasting an ensemble of exceptional talents with luminaries like Kylian Mbappe. A lackluster display indeed. Their failure to convert open play chances into goals presents a glaring impediment that they must address if they aspire to outshine Spain. Playing from open play: this is a problem; they need to overcome if they are looking forward to beat Spain in their next match.

The semi-final clash involving Spain and France is sure to catch the eye. Their storied pasts in the realm of international football ensure this game will serve as a litmus test for both sides. Spain, boasting cohesion in their collective play along with a stalwart defense, seem to have an upper hand as favorites for this fixture; yet, France, with its constellation of star players, always looms capable of springing a surprise and overturning expectations placed upon them.

Even the Netherlands is better than England even though this squad has star players in it but still their performance is still considered bad because of the almost boring game during this tournament, it is good that England can qualify for the semifinals even some other predictions think England will be defeated by Switzerland the results are not like that.

I don't know why England are still bad even though they have never lacked anything, it's just that what we see is that England are not better than Spain and other teams, now that England are in the semifinals, it could be that the game will be different so England can win to advance to the semifinals.

England don't have a lot of old players either, but their style of play in this Championship is stalling. That is, they pull the game to the very last, trying to exhaust the opponent's strength and only then start to act and score, so it turns out that they have all matches with a minimum score or won at all in overtime. I really hope they won't be able to use this tactic against the Netherlands

I see no chance of underestimating the Netherlands team. This group is very strong. I know that the England team has more star players. England have good players like Bellingham and Kane in their squad. Also Saka and Foden are also able to perform well. England's attack is slightly stronger than the Netherlands'. But the Netherlands team is also relatively strong. However, so far the Netherlands team has not faced any other big team except France.

The Netherlands team is ahead in the statistics of the match between the Netherlands and England. The interesting thing is that out of the last 5 matches played against England, the Netherlands team has won all four matches. I don't know why England teams have always performed poorly in the past even against Netherlands.

At the moment, the game Spain - France is listed as completely random:

2.72 - 2.90 - 3.0

A draw quote is suspicious - the odds are below 3, which means an extremely high probability compared to games on average. BTTS is listed at 1.77 lol so we shouldn't expect a game with a lot of goals. Probably the most correct choice is to bet on a 0-0 draw with odds of 7.90
Who would have thought that the play of such dangerous (on paper haha) teams would be assessed so poorly.

Spain have been one of the best team in the ongoing European Championship if not the best and their ability to eliminate the host nation Germany who was also incredible with their performances makes them one of the favorite teams that can win the European title this summer. France on the other side have been short of the expectations of many because before the kickoff of the the tournament, France was regarded as the favorites because of the quality of players in the France squad as well as the depth of the team. Since the start of the tournament, France have never scored a goal from open play which I think is another reason Spain will will go into their semi finals game against them as the favorite.
Fir Kylian Mbappe who I know will post a big threat to the Spanish team, I think Spain have the needed quality of defenders to stop him even when I know it's always difficult to stop Kylian Mbappe. It'll be a very big game between the two teams but one thing is sure and that's the fact that one team will leave the tournament after that game

Since the teams played according to the cup format, we saw exciting matches in terms of competition, but we also saw boring matches and very few goals. Now we are in the semi-finals and no team can afford any mistakes. 5-man defenses are in vogue for some teams, but now I think we will see a bit more attacking variations, especially France, who need to go back to their usual game, because this defensive tactic won't work against Spain. Spain will find a goal somehow. France can't use Mbappe effectively and Deschamps will have to try something different if they want to reach the final.
