Spain has a drama starts by their captain, Alvaro Morata.

He threatens to QUIT after the tournament over 'nonsense' critics - and hints his family want to leave the country too.

Is it a true drama or a boycott from Spain to mislead England preparation before the important semi final match?

I feel it's hard to believe that a captain can do this before an important match. Alvaro Morata is not a world class striker for many years and in Euro 2024, he is given the captain band maybe because he has more experience than many young players in Spain squad for Euro 2024.

It's not a drama, but it's a true story about him. Spanish fans are being too harsh on him. I know how Morata felt. He had given his all to bring Spain to the top. But, Spanish fans are used to winning in club and country. This makes them have a very high standard for a player in their national team. then again, they saw morata as a burden for the club.

But, It's coincidence with acmilan's rumor to recruit morata as a new player.  Grin Grin Grin

But if this happens then it is likely that the champion will be Spain because looking at the history that the Netherlands still cannot change at this time, no matter how good their performance is and no matter how strong the players they have in the end they are always runner-up specialists for state competitions.

It's just that it is also very good to expect this condition to occur because although the semi-finals are still not done but seeing the performance of England and France for this euro is actually quite monotonous and it would be better if Spain and the Netherlands are in the final which is a match that will present more interesting things I think.

However, looking at the current probabilities even though the performance of England and France is still very bad but the probability of them remaining strong to be in the final at the euro this time.

The Netherlands are being underestimated in this game against England, I say this because the odds are not balanced, they are in England's favor because they are looking at the England squad, but when we look at the h2h involving these two teams, we have a scenario in which the Netherlands had more victories in games against England



https://livescores.biz/h2h/england-vs-netherlands#european-championship

That's why I see the Netherlands with a chance of reaching the final. and in the case of Spain against France, in the last 5 games in which both teams faced each other, Spain won in 3 games, France won in just 1 game and they drew in 1 game. So I see Spain as having a greater chance of also reaching the final. Now if Spain and the Netherlands reached the final, I see Spain being champions.
It's pretty good if we look at this with the statistics of their matches that have happened but looking at the year of playing that even the last time they met was in 2019 meaning that it's been 5 years since they met so I don't think the statistics will be too applicable.

But looking at England's current performance and seeing from what the Netherlands showed actually I expected the Netherlands to be in the final even though in the end they also had to fight the runner up curse for competitions like the Euro or world cup.

It cannot be denied that until now England still have the greatest probability of becoming champions but indeed from the group phase to the quarter-finals their performance was not too convincing and if you look at the opponents faced actually this match against Switzerland and the Netherlands is their test because previously they did not really find commensurate opponents in the sense of being equally strong in terms of level and quality of players.

What a boring days are the ones with no games in it.

About the games who comes, for me are gonna be like the last games in this euros, pure fierce games and pure battle games, no one is gonna take so much advantage and i expect to see at least one draw after the regular time.

Penalties? Maybe is starting to be a normal one in this euro 2024.

Euro 2024 has been fun so far although some favourites have been playing a boring game.  Grin  I'm really like I don't want it to end. But all good things must come to an end...

We are still really lucky that this summer hasn't been boring thanks to Euro 2024. Otherwise we give a really long break to the leagues you know. After Euro 2024 ends there won't be a long time period left for new season to start. The qualifiers phase of Champions League and other European tournaments would start soon after that.

Coming back to Euro 2024, I hope to see most deserving teams reaching the finale. It is Spain from the upper side of the bracket.  Smiley  I can't say either England or Netherlands are great but I think it will be England to make it.

What a boring days are the ones with no games in it.
It is undeniable that for now only the Euro and Copa America are our only spectacles in the end after this event is over then we have to wait at least a month to return to see a soccer match where the new season will start, but you can't blame it either because the players also need refreshing or just gathering with their families after the tight competition they live in, especially competitions between countries like this are sure to increase their fatigue in terms of mental and energy.

One more thing, the boring performance of some big teams or championship candidates is also a common thing in this competition Cheesy
England, France and even some of the eliminated teams such as Belgium also look much lower in terms of performance when compared to previous events because their performance seems ordinary for a team with the highest probability of winning.
Hopefully the semi-finals will be more interesting because honestly for the quarter-finals I felt that the Turkey vs Netherlands and Spain vs Germany matches were quite interesting, the rest I didn't see any really exciting matches.

With good defense system, France has a good foundation for their defensive prioritizing approach and can beat Spain in the semi final with an OG from Spanish player or beat Spain through penalties. Spain has Unai Simon, a good goalkeeper for penalties but to win it, they need their players shot well too. French players shown that they were well prepared for penalties and did it with high confidence.

Why do I feel like everyone is expecting that Spain against France match will lead to extra times, many people and analysts are saying the game will be very closed from both sides and we won’t see any opportunities of scoring. Personally, I would say that one of the teams will score very early and the match will become very open for both teams to score.
Both teams have strong defense, beside tricky attacking gameplay.

If I would bet on this match, my money will go to Spain for having a better organized team this year, young players with good speed and skills to beat France. Mbapee camarades are not in shape for defending against Spain. So I prefer taking the risk of betting on Spain with good outcome than France that I would say have more chances in penalties.
According to the player's condition we must say that Spain is better. In this tournament who are ahead in the performance of the each players in recent times are able to retain the victory. This is just speculation though. But considering the statistics, of course, Spain cannot be keep down in any way. Another big problem is that France's Kylian Mbappe is not physically fit. He has to play with a mask because of his broken nose. As much as he wants to play well, it must cost him to give his best. Moreover, there will be panic in the field when the game starts. France coach thinks that Spain will definitely be under pressure if Mbappe is on the field. But I would definitely bet on Spain.

Spain will remain the favorite team when they face France, especially since their level of confidence is getting bigger after successfully getting rid of Germany. The way they played when they beat Germany was very classy, ​​the Spanish squad this time showed something different from before. Even though the core squad contains many young, inexperienced players, their presence actually makes Spain stronger. France will have difficulty facing Spain, I think Germany's defense is stronger than France, the Spanish players will try to open the French defense area to score goals.
I agree with you, Spain is the favorite team to win against France because they have defeated stronger opponents in this tournament. Spain defeated Italy, Croatia, and Germany, they won against these strong teams, and I don't think France will be able to stop them in the next game, however, since the start of this tournament France has only scored three goals, one was a penalty against Poland. France, in my opinion, is a weak team in this tournament since they drew with Poland, a team that every opponent defeated in the group stage, they were just lucky to win the penalty shootout against Portugal. Spain on the other hand has scored 11 goals since the start of this tournament and has not draw any of their games, which is why I am very confident in their game, but if France wins, I believe they will be lucky with how Spain has performed.

Why France is unable to perform well despite having such a strong squad is a mystery. France's attack of Mbnappe, Griezmann, Giroud, Dembele, KOla Muani and Thuram are all very talented. Also French midfield players Camavinga, Rabiot, Kante and Tchouameni are all playing for big and renowned clubs in Europe. All are talented and experienced players. France's defense also has players like Kounde, Saliba and Theo. It would not be wrong to say that France is the strongest team in Europe.

But the main strength of Spain's squad is the understanding between the players is very good. The players have been able to adapt themselves very well to Coach Fuente's match strategy. Williams and Yamal are also able to perform well. There are many star players in the France squad, but the understanding between the players is not good. Spain team on the other hand is not very experienced but the understanding between the players is very good.

The performance of Spain is quite surprising, they could beat strong teams in this competition. Although Spain isn't a part of the favorite teams to win Euro 2024, Spain becomes a team that has good teamwork in each match. That's why they always could beat strong teams, including Germany. In the next match, France will be the opponent. France is one of the favorite team to win this Euro 2024 but their performance looks not really convincing. I agree with you that France is just lucky to win against Portugal.

France is surely a strong team but they couldn't optimize their potential. If France could play with their best, France can easily beat other teams because France is one of the strongest teams in this competition. Since Mbappe got an injury, I see that France couldn't build their attack well. In my opinion, the players of France is trying to play more individually.

I think with horror that there are only a few games left and then we will be without big football for not a couple of days and almost a couple of months (all sorts of funny Olympics mean nothing).
From this Euro, I got the impression that everyone is exhausted from a difficult season, so everyone is playing equally weakly and we see a lot of close results and penalty shootouts there. It is obvious that football players are suffering from an oversaturation of the calendar.

Relax it's already the Semifinals, there's always a good break for players who can rest.

The semi-finals are the real battle, there are no weak teams all these teams are the favorites of most people so we expect more competitive matches with lots of goals too to add to the excitement of watching on Wednesday.

Will try to bet on Spain as the champion team as this is still pretty good considering Spain's performance so far in this tournament, don't want to underestimate France at all but I'm sure Spain will be better.

Maybe the semi-finals won't have penalties, I hope so. Cheesy

Of a truth France hasn't really been that convincing since the start of this competition. They have been solid at the back that's why they haven't conceeded much goals. It's very unfortunate that Mbappe is not at his best form for France in this competition. But for me I think Spain should advance to the finals. They have been the most hardworking team so far and they deserve a shot in the finals. I'm not expecting anything less from Spain when the meet France, I expect them to play the same way they have been playing so far. They have good goal scorers and if they can utilize their opportunities as it comes along they will win. The French defense will give them problem, because they will be aiming for the game to go into penalty shootout if they can't score goals up front because their strikers are not performing well. They would want to take their chance in a penalty shootout.
France may not be stable. Not only Mbappé. France's bench is full of reliable players. Some bumps and bruises could be a blessing for Mbappé. It compels the team to act, making them unpredictable and dangerous.

Compared to Spaniards, French are skyscrapers. French could dominate set pieces, corners, free kicks. Last minute, corner kick, boom, header, goal. Classic French win without penalties. Spain work hard. But winners take advantage of opportunities, and France excels at that. The French defense will be difficult for the Spanish to breach.

The game should have fireworks, not penalties. Goals, excitement, drama. Wishing the greatest team a goal shower, not a shootout.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Turkey football team could not win the match and we saw high competition between these teams and in the end Netherland Football team won the match by 2-0.

The game ended 2 - 1 for Netherlands. In fact, Turkiye scored the first goal in the first half but they couldn't keep up with Netherlands which beat them by two goals later in the second half. Anyway, Netherlands are better than Turkiye and the latter team advanced well in this competition.

In the game, though, I would say the Turkish team performed very well, and they conceded a goal in the first half. But when the Netherlands leveled the game later, there was a lot of attacking going on between the two teams where the Dutch team got more excited. But unfortunately, the Turkish player lost by scoring a goal against the Dutch attack. Had it not been for the match it would have been a more interesting game between the two teams, however with England coming up against them later in the match it would be more competitive.

Spain vs France will be a great game from which team we have several high quality players and it will be a great head to head game.
I expect Spain to play a very safe ball by trying to control offense and defense and France to try a few tricky plays from a fast Mbappe when France has ball gains and tries to play it out quickly by Mbappe. Probably, we will see overtime and a penalty shootout once again for France vs. Spain.

In this tournament I noticed that many stars who did pretty well in their various clubs haven't lived up to expectations and their performance are nothing to write home about. We go to England and we see countless number of them who are playing nothing close to what they did in their club side like Foden, Kane and the rest of them but let's talk about the France national team where we have the mask man Kylian Mbappé Lottin, he has been struggling with form in this tournament with one goal taken from the penalty spot and you'd agree with me that the injury he sustained in the first game of the tournament played a big role on his performance and I believe is weighing the team down.
The thing about such tournaments is that it's used as a platform to sell yourself to potential prospects and usually less known players will overshadow the big guns as they try to get potential sells to other clubs!

Another reason the big names aren't living up to their names is because everyone knows what they are capable of and defenders assignments are to stop them at all cost, and it's proving to work!!

Other reasons could be possibly to do with players being afraid of getting injured knowing very well their clubs pay better , hence a reserved approach to the game, but one thing is for sure...they don't make them like they did back in the day!

A very entertaining game from turkiye and netherland. Turkey played perfectly in the first half. But, it's strange to see how their coach changed their strategy at the second half. I was aware when turkiye played more defensively at the second half. Turkey tried to defend its lead by switching to a more defensive strategy in the second half. But, it backfired. The decision to switch to defense was so bad. It helped netherland to explore the vulnerability owned by turkiye, then netherland scored two goals at the second half.

I thought the result might be different if Turkiye didn't change its strategy at halftime. They should have given more pressure. Instead, they changed to play passively in the second half. All in all, the decision by turkiye's coach to changed its strategy at the secodn half cost them a place in the semi final.

Semi finals does look good, well at least one of them. Spain vs France will be a very tough one and I honestly think that would be an early-finals type of game where the winner will be the one who will get the title eventually as well. Don't get me wrong neither Netherlands nor England is that bad, and I think that should not be something that will take a while, but we need to remember that we can't have it any other way.

We need to remember that things aren't simple for England in this tournament, they do not look that great and for some reason Netherland players do not play as well as they do at their clubs neither. France had a lot of fire as well, they haven't scored a single goal on live play, one was penalty and two was own goal from other team which a lot of people talk about as well. So I think we should remember that we are going to probably see them not do as well as they hope they can, which will be an issue, it is not going to be that simple.
Among the remaining countries in the Euro competition, I would say that the strongest of them is Spain. Connection after Spain I can count in England even before France. France has not done their best in this Euro but they were very much accompanied by luck in this competition. Even England is better than France in this competition because they have been able to score some crucial goals. But this does not mean that the meeting between France and Spain will not be as tough as a final.

In my analysis, I will say England and Spain may be in the finals but things can also change but that's my prediction.

The outcome of that match will certainly surprise everybody because it seems most people are seriously looking down on the French team and I don't even know the reason why they believe that Spain could easily win France, however they need to realize that France has some quality players like Mbappe, Giroud, Dembele and so many other players and currently Dembele and Mbappe has been on a serious force this season, however Dembele is actually the kind of player everyone would loved to watch, I could even remember his performance during there match against Portugal how consistent he was and he is actually one of the player that contributed so such on the progress of France on this season, so let's not underestimate any club because the both team has a good players.
All of us of course have different predictions and estimates regarding the outcome of the match between France and Spain later, the two teams will meet in the semifinals and as two big teams of course it is difficult for us to guess who will win in that match, when you having full confidence in France, of course you have strong reasons to support France in the semifinals later, but right now I personally have confidence in Spain ability to be able to beat France in the match, France of course has many star and experienced players in their squad so far, but if you look at France performance so far, can you give me one match that France played very impressively?

As far as I have seen all the matches played by France and Spain at the Euro, in my opinion the appearance and performance of Spain is much better even though they rely on the majority of young players in their squad, the balance of the team both in defense and attack of course the main factor that makes Spain is a strong candidate to win at Euro 2024, Spain is able to appear impressive and often tests their mentality in every match, so that they are quite worthy of being favored compared to France who only won by scoring goals through penalties and also own goals from opposing players Grin.
