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.

I agree with you that the game between Spain and France will not be tough as that of Spain and Germany. The France team I've seen so far play have not strike me like a team to be too aggressive with their Frontliners like the Spanish team especially the likes of lamine yamal and Nico Williams. Spain plays the kind of football I call die hard football, they consistently put pressure on you till they eventually win you, and that was exactly the same thing they did against Germany. I see it that, Spain are the favourites to win that encounter against France.

Deciding who to play as against who has been one of the major issues affecting both France and England because of the number of big names they have in reserve. the problem of selecting players that will even come for the tournament was even an issue for France as they dropped a lot of their good players and where able to come up with this near flop team they came with.

But he hasn't been effective and I would hate if he'll be the one that would make France miss an opportunity of getting into the final chapter of this competition. Sometimes is best to take a certain risk in a team rather than go for what people want and that's the problem of Southgate since the beginning of this competition, dropping his best 11 which we all know haven't done anything impressive but the guys on the bench can do better and he is neglecting it. So in the France national team the coach need to take the risk of dropping Mbappe for some minutes against Spain, he can make a difference from whenever he comes in, to me I don't need him to even score goals but make sure his presence is been felt by the opponent but you and I know he hasn't done that.

If the referee had been fair, Turkey would not have lost. There was a clear red card that should have been given to Holland but it wasn't.
There was a foul on the second goal but it was not given.
Why is the VAR system not used or why was the VAR system brought to this football?

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.

This match is not going to be easy for both teams and we can not be confident to decide which team will be victorious. I must acknowledge the strength of both teams and their strategies. Without doubt, it's going to be an entertaining game and the best among them will definitely win. France can actually boast of their classical defense and speedy attacking Mbappe but Spain on the other hand too have one of the most convincing midfield that they normally use to destabilize the opponent pattern of play. Judging from the recent performance of both teams, France has a slight chance of winning that game if they should play with maximum commitment. Spanish team can not be underrated but the squad is full of young stars who can not withstand the pressure for long. However, anything is capable of happening in football and Spain will likely win if the game ends up in a penalty shootout.

But sorry for your team, because they started well but did not perform well in the end. But later the Netherlands team went ahead with two goals, but in comparison, the Netherlands team has much stronger and experienced players. But toor ki team has come in performance recently for the present time, but according to the experience of these two teams, the Netherlands team is particularly strong and played enough to win.

yes, it's true, this is the semifinals, all the teams that qualify for the semi-finals are good teams, and it should be noted that all the teams that qualify are top teams, all teams have the potential to win the Euro this year, there will definitely be surprises on the field at next match, even though in this year's Euro championship many people are favoring Spain, because it is not without reason that if you look at Spain's matches from qualifying to the semifinals, they are playing very consistently with their young players, Spain will be a serious threat in the world cup later,
On the other hand, France have not found their game. Every match they have played, their game has not been consistent, who knows what is wrong, their game seems to be declining, unlike the 2016 Euro, on paper, Spain will be superior and it is very likely that France will rely on a quick counterattack because If playing a Spanish game will be difficult, we know that Spain relies on controlling the ball with its tiki-taka style.
But it looks like Spain won't let the match continue until the penalty shootout, if that happens it's possible that France will be at an advantage.

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.

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. I am very impressed by the players of Netherland because I didn't expect that kind of performance from Netherland team . Netherland team won due to unity and great performance of their players. The stat of Netherland team was osum and they kicked strongly and  the passes of Netherland team was more and efficient and now Netherland Football team qualified for semi final and I congratulate to Netherland team to qualify for Semi final but I think Netherland will face difficulty in Semi final and opponent team could perform well from Netherland team and Netherland team will not qualify for final.

I can’t agree less with you mate, the Dutch’s have been very underrated throughout this tournament, even against Turkey they were not favourite to win the game but among all the other four participants they are the only ones that didn’t needed any extra 30 minutes to move pass any stage. They have been scoring freely with Spain the nation that has scored more than them among the last four. But let’s leave the scoring aside, their backline has been a joy to watch for me, they say defense wins you trophies and that’s one thing that’s leading the Dutch right now. I don’t think England will have this games easy if ask me.

England and Netherlands do not majorly meet a lot in international competitions if I am not mistaken those stats are from Friendlies which I don’t ever use to analyze my predictions. England under Southgate have been always poor in pre tournament matches but in the real tournament they have managed to learn how to win even if they play bad at times, that could be what might save them in this phase now against Netherlands


I don’t think there is any nation that actually plays better than Spain, they deserved this place. But right now against a team and coach that has played in the last two World Cup finals it will take more than just playing good to win against this team. They might setup a team to frustrate Spain from playing their usual beautiful football. I think Spain might have to twerk their playing style a little bit to compete with the French team

It's true, it's a shame that the French front striker has had lots of chances to score goals but luck hasn't been on his side. France's defensive superiority will probably still be used against Spain with just a slight change in position. and the quality of the two countries is very good, Spain has a strong strategy and has good star players, I think Spain has great strength for the semi-final match. What Spain should be wary of is Straker Mbappe because of his good running speed and skills

The French national team should not be underestimated, they can start scoring in any match, I don’t want to say that they waited the whole tournament to start playing only in the match with Spain, but I don’t understand why a team with such potential in attack plays so poorly. Although it is worth noting that we are only talking about their attack, since they are very good in defense. And if France plays just as well in defense and takes the match to penalties, then they can hope for luck again.

I also thought that France and England were the favorites of the tournament and in general they reached the semifinals and confirmed their class, but France scored only 1 goal from the game, which is just humiliating for such a team with such a selection of players, where Mbappe plays. England is not better, but unlike France, Southgate's team still conceded and then compared the score and it was seen that England at least can add value and score a goal when it is necessary, then with France in general unclear situation. France is excellent in defense and does not concede, but it does not score.
So I agree with the fact that the Spanish national team still looks the clear favorite of all these 4 listed teams. 

Spain played better than France so far and might play better in their direct match at semi final stage but at this stage and with knock out format, playing better or not is not important. The key is you need to win a match and come closer to win a competition. France with their performances so far don't care much about impression and result is what they care most.

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.

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.

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.

Of course the German team is a pity, because unlike the French team, Germany at least scored from the game, but you have to give credit to the referee, who judged objectively enough and only once, just in the end as I think even helped the Spanish team, because a player of the Spanish national team played in the penalty box with his hand and the ball still changed the trajectory. I was afraid that the referee would be biased towards the Spanish team, but it turned out to be the opposite.
It seemed to me that both teams were already preparing for a penalty shootout, which was more favorable to the German team, but chance helped the Spaniards and they avoided a penalty shootout.

I think the Spanish national team is still the best team of the tournament and deserves to win it.

We are in the stage before the final of the tournament. The Netherlands will play England and France will play Spain in the final. It isn't easy to make precise predictions at this stage. Because these 4 teams are good teams. But I, like the majority, expect a final between England and Spain and I think Spain will beat England in the final and win the trophy.

To tell the truth, before the tournament I saw France and England as the favorites, but Spain has played much better matches than them so far. I think they deserve this trophy. But there were many surprises in this tournament. I still don't have a definite prediction. Because the other 3 teams are also good teams.

I think Turkey's attacks and threats in the last minutes were very bad, in fact their finishing did not really threaten the Dutch goalkeeper, so it didn't result in a single goal to equalize the score. And also, in the first half i think Turkey played quite aggressively against Netherlands, but unfortunately of the six opportunities created, Turkey could only score 1 goal. I think this is an important lesson for Turkiye, not only for its team but also for its manager especially.
