Whoever or whatever team wins is what they deserve. And Spain won that match so of course they deserved to win and advance further there. But honestly I hope Germany wins this match. But it turned out that the host could only go that far. And Spain they have been extraordinary even since the group stage. In the semi-finals, Spain will face Mbappe and his friends. And yes, I agree that France has some advantages in their back line. And actually their attack line is also quite good. It's just that France was not as good as expected in building attacks. Maybe in the semi-finals we will see Spain playing more carefully. And maybe there won't be many goals in that match. But I may not be able to decide which one will be my favorite.

For the Netherlands vs England match, I already have a team that I will favourite. Namely the Netherlands. In terms of depth, England's squad is superior, but I see how the Netherlands have progressed so far and they have always been able to produce very effective games. So I am quite confident with my choice this time.
Personally, it's the opposite, that is, it's difficult for me to decide which team will be my favorite in the Netherlands vs England match. because for me England and the Netherlands have almost the same performance. Their England is actually getting better in contrast to their performance in the group stage. It's just that I'm not sure whether they can win or not when they face the Netherlands. But so far England have always managed to progress further even though their performance is not as good as expected. but England is still progressing to this day. So I would probably prefer it if England won.
It's possible that England will also be favorites if Gareth Southgate can maximize the potential of the England squad. But I'm quite disappointed because I think up to now England are not at their best. because if they are really in the best condition then they should be able to become a team that is quite productive and has a sharp level of attack. I like the depth of the England squad but I might be disappointed with the way they play on the pitch. And I actually see that the Dutch have better self-confidence. So my choice remains the Netherlands. I like how Koeman maximizes every player's potential in the Dutch squad. And the Netherlands also has several variations of strategy that are quite difficult for opponents to predict. For example, in the match against Turkey, I felt that the Netherlands changed their strategy a little because I felt there was something different from the previous matches. And the Netherlands managed to beat Türkiye quite well. even though in the first half the Dutch were trailing by 1 goal. but in the second half the strategy used by the Dutch changed slightly and resulted in the Dutch succeeding in defeating Türkiye in the end.

France has a unique record at Euro 2024. So far France has only managed to score 3 goals throughout Euro 2024. Two goals through own goals and one goal through Mbappe. And that too through the penalty spot. This means that France advanced to the semifinals without ever scoring a single goal in open play. I think it will be a unique record if France wins Euro 2024. They have a very solid defense and this will be a challenge for Spain. But they don't have a good attack and Mbappe is not at his best. Spain can take advantage of France's weakness in scoring goals and maintaining their defensive line with discipline.
Spain will not find it so difficult to face France in the semifinals this time because Spain also has the best players with talent that has been quite visible during this Euro. This means that it is France who must be more alert because they will face Spain in the semifinals, not the other way around because Spain will definitely try harder to advance to the final of Euro 2024 so France must be more careful if they want to prevent Spain from advancing to the final of Euro 2024.

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.
Going against Spain I think he should be dropped because they need to be ready with what the Spanish side are coming with, since they always sees him (Mbappe) as the target man it would be nice to drop him and start off Oliver Giroud in that game tomorrow and bring him on later in the second half by then he will use his strength and speed against the already tired Spanish defense but if he starts they (Spain) will be ready to run with him at all cost. I feel that alone can help France to get something, Mbappe shouldn't be on the line up. Whats your feel about this, Mbappe or no Mbappe on the starting 11?🤔

The France is not very good this year, I do not like their game at all. They will probably lose the match against Spain in the next match. Spain is currently the most effective team in the championship, I like them both in defense and attack.
Should Mbappe be on the field? Of course he has to play and do something for his team. It wouldn't be a lie to say that he hasn't scored a goal yet in this championship, this was definitely not what the team expected from him. A world star football player should be able to score many goals in such championships

Spain really deserved to be the winner in this match. But I feel that the strengths of Germany and Spain are indeed quite equal. But in terms of pass accuracy and opportunity utilization, Spain is of course slightly superior. In the semi-finals Spain will face France. And I think it will be quite a difficult match even for Spain. Maybe France is not as productive as Spain. But I think France's defense has its own advantages. So the Spain vs France match will be fierce. But yes, Spain remains the favorite.

 You can't keep hoping on luck to always come through for you. This stage of the competition, you need more tactical formation to be able to defeat your opponent. Right now, I don't think Southgate has any tactics he can boast of, and even though Netherlands aren't a match for them on a good day, but from what I've seen of Robert Koeman's boys, I'm certain England will need more than luck if they want to proceed to the finals.
 Netherlands have only suffered one defeat in this tournament and that was to Austria and they also have this fighting spirit and have come back from behind to win games like they did against Turkey and if anything can have a shot at beating England but I won't also want them to be too confident because the English can be tricky and take advantage when you least expect it.
Southgate's strategy is quite simple, he waits and is overly cautious until England concede, after which they begin to play more actively. Considering that the Netherlands is a more attacking team, I think everything will remain the same, England will defend more, perhaps until they concede first, but the defense of the Netherlands is also not the best, so I think both teams will score in this match. For some reason I doubt that the Netherlands will be able to beat England.
You are right about the Netherlands defense they easily conceede goals, but they have good offensive players that can are really scoring more goals than that of England. The number of goals that each team are able to score will be very vital here, it is what will determine who will qualify. That match won't end in penalty shootout. Netherlands scored two quick goals against Turkey, which was very impressive. This England team can't do that. This is a real test for England, Netherlands is going to come at them so quickly and try to get goals in the first half during which England use to be very sluggish with their play. Southgate need to come out openly and play the football. There is nothing to be cautious about anymore is either you win or go home. He has guided to the semi finals already, even if they exit at the stage people will say he has done well already by getting to this stage. So he need to come out of the shell and play the game. Netherlands is a determined side and for England to knock them out they have to be as hungry as the Netherlands.

Spain against France will be another repeat of what happened between Spain and Germany in the Quarter Finals of this very campaign. The France national team is about to face one of the greatest test of their stay in this competition and we know how Spain gets the ball so wide when they're going for a counter without a single player not getting in the mix, it will be hard for the France side to get their marking too close to the wingers and midfielders of Spain from how I have seen them (France) play, it will make Kante to be more stressed out that's if they let him do more of the marking tomorrow.
The France national team need to make use of the pitch not playing a one sided game if not they'll pay for it, Mbappe shouldn't be the only target and Dembele shouldn't waste more chances in this encounter and if that happens the Spanish players will capitalize on them and it will be more dangerous if Spain takes the lead but one thing is sure, a draw can happen if the France side keep it calm, IMO France they can't beat Spain even if it goes on to extra time.
In the match between Spain and Germany, of course we can see the fierce competition between them and of course it is a matter of pride for Spain to be able to beat Germany. So it is certain that in the match between Spain and France in the semifinals, it is true that Spain against France will have the potential for tight competition and there will be a repeat of the tight competition as in the match between Spain and Germany.

However, it is true that it looks like France will face a big test because it is true that Spain has extraordinary strength and of course France will have the potential to find it difficult to win against Spain in the next match. but of course we won't know what happened, but what is clear is that the potential for victory is on the Spanish side.

but sometimes the results of matches are always difficult to predict, but I'm sure Deschamps will use a good strategy, but it looks like there is potential in that match there will be a penalty shootout, but I'm sure the potential is slim because if you look at the current Spanish squad, of course there is no doubt that Spain has potential. big win. but I predict 2-0 for Spain to win.


Yes, I fully agree and I would also say that whoever wins this match will most likely also go on to win a probable final considering the fact that on the other side of the scoreboard there aren't these great teams that can compete in a possible final, I would definitely see one beautiful final France Holland very exotic I would say and very full of spectacle, France will certainly prepare it very well and on paper they are much stronger than Spain so it remains to be seen while on the other side I don't think England will get through

Yes, of course in the semifinal match of Euro 2024, all countries will definitely prepare their teams to the maximum because of course if they can become champions at the Euro, that will be an extraordinary achievement and of course countries really want that, namely becoming Euro champions.

Of course France has the potential to win against Spain because after all France is a strong team. and it is possible that the Netherlands and France will advance to the final and one of them will become champion after competing. but I personally still predict that Spain and England will have the potential to advance to the final because in my opinion Spain has extraordinary strength and I also think England is a strong team and they have famous players and extraordinary strength.

of course everyone has different predictions, according to you England will not advance to the final but in my opinion England will advance to the final and England will compete against Spain in the final later. Yes, let's see whose prediction is correct.

In another semifinal between England vs Netherlands, this would probably be a boring match, meaning their style of play. England they always look for safety in every match, they will come out attacking and play more bravely when they are behind. This match will be interesting if one of them can score a quick goal, because they will definitely try to score a goal back. That's also what I saw from the match in the last 8, their match was more interesting when they were behind.

Netherlands weren't great against Turkey. They could have really been eliminated. We have seen them having inconsistencies so far so that wasn't surprising.

I still believe they can play better than England truthfully. But it feels like this game won't end in regular time. As I said I don't like England and France's games but it feels like the name of the final will be Spain - England.
Yes, maybe they will play for 120 minutes and then they will test their luck in the penalty shootout. Why do I say they will try their luck? because in the penalty shootout round they have a 50/50 chance and whoever is luckier will win. I only hope one thing, they can provide an interesting spectacle for us to see, because the few times I have seen their games, they are so boring and tend to just look for safety.

It's quite difficult to determine who will go to the final, because I don't think England and the Netherlands have anything that stands out from them. and as I said before, it is possible that they won because of luck and when talking about luck then none of us can know who will be luckier. I only regret one thing, they have luxury players but with those luxury players they can't utilize them very well to provide a more interesting spectacle. That's very unfortunate.

Spain can take advantage of France's weakness in scoring goals and maintaining their defensive line with discipline.

I favor the Netherlands in the Netherlands vs England match. Even though England is one of the favorites to win, I see that the Netherlands is much more attractive. The Netherlands are the only team who have never won the Euros among the other semi-finalists so they will be very motivated to win that match.

Spain victory over Germany was not a luck because they deserved it. Spain was able to score twice before Germany even when Germany was able to out themselves back in the game, Spain didn't give up. It was unfortunate for the Germans that they were unable to defend the extra time till the end maybe penalty would have given them a chance of qualifying to the semifinals.

Spain is better than France in this competition and that is what will determine who will win the match. It will be very easy for Spain to find the back of the net but France are always finding it difficult to find the back of the net. The finals will be Spain and whoever wins between England and Netherlands.
Spain really deserved to be the winner in this match. But I feel that the strengths of Germany and Spain are indeed quite equal. But in terms of pass accuracy and opportunity utilization, Spain is of course slightly superior. In the semi-finals Spain will face France. And I think it will be quite a difficult match even for Spain. Maybe France is not as productive as Spain. But I think France's defense has its own advantages. So the Spain vs France match will be fierce. But yes, Spain remains the favorite.

It can't be as hot as we saw in the encounter between them and Germany because this is a one shot to the finals and both them need to be mindful of any silly mistakes, where we have much if the attacking without anyone relenting at any cost. One thing about Spain is that they have never for ones underestimate any of their opponents in this tournament and we see them as a team who can go and play even if is 1 goal to nil they give out their 100% best to even make the game much more interesting to the fans, they in a good shape and seeing them in the finals would be great I must say.
This is not going to be an easy one for the France coach to decide on who to play ahead of who, because he is going against one of the best in this competition and he only have to go with his regular starters in this encounter I must say, anything that happens I won't blame him but anything can happen, thisbis football and your prediction of Spain 2-0 France might turn out to be a 1-1 draw😁.

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.
In 3 days the big fight will be held, Spain is the favorite to win. With a fast attack strategy, pressing the opponent will overwhelm France. Spain has no problems on its front line and that is a plus point where Yamal and William will again tear apart the French defense. In my opinion these 2 players have the advantage of always bothering opponents, German is able to be overwhelmed by the movements of both of them. This will be important homework for France as well as improving the attack line which is still not perfect. I mean the French attack line for several matches looked like they had problems finishing.

Spain has Yamal and William in attack. Two young players from Spain. Despite not having the experience of such a high voltage match, these two youngsters are very talented and confident. These two young players from Spain are able to perform brilliantly. These two youngsters have the ability to break the French defense. Yamal and William will not be easy to resist. Moreover, Spain's match strategy is also very good. Looking forward to see how France will play against Spain's attacking strategy.

I want to see a better performance from Mbappe in the Spain vs France match. I have yet to see Mbappe perform so well at this year's Euros. If Mbappe can't play well in this match too then it won't be possible for France to beat Spain. Spain is a strong team and the players are in a very good rhythm at the moment.

Yes, this particular encounter is really going to be fascinating no doubt, but I don't actually think that it would be as fascinating as the Spain vs Germany encounter, because France is not as attacking as Germany and Spain, so I don't think France will go all out and attack the Spanish team the way Germany did, I expect Spain to see more of the ball and France playing on the counter attacks, and I also believe that if they plays that way, the game would be more difficult for the Spanish team than what they encounter against the German.

Am saying so because the France team are filled with markers of the ball, they all knows how to react when they are not with the ball, though they are not as exciting and impressive as the Spanish team, but I believe that as it stands now, among the three teams remaining, they are the only genuine threat to the Spanish team in their quest to lift this year uefa euros, but I believe that it's actually going to be a close contested affair, let's just watch and see how it's going to plays out when the time comes.

From what I have seen with the Spanish team I believe they like absolving the pressure of their opponent until they find that opening to cause more damage and it always work for them but talking about the France side I believe they are going to be very careful while they throw in attacks against Spain in other not to make their defense exposed to the deadly wingers, talking about Nico Williams and Yamal L, those two have been the threat of their previous opponents, making life difficult for them.
The Spanish players are just complete in every angle and they match every team that have come their way so I don't think there is an easy way to over shadow them, while France are trying to penetrate it even get worse for them, the best France need to do is get an early goal to add pressure on the Spanish players, it will help them relax a bit, and I think the bookie is correct in giving France the higher odd maybe by tomorrow something might change, for now Spain is the favorite to win this encounter and the Euros as well.

 Luck is also a very important factor, not only England is lucky at this Euro, the French team is also very lucky, perhaps even too lucky. Southgate is still winning, so it is difficult to criticize his decisions, it would be different if he had lost like Spalletti did, who said that his strategy worked in Napoli when everyone condemned him, now that we see how bad Italy looked compared to other teams, we can to say that Spalletti's strategy was very bad. England started to play when they conceded, maybe their excessive caution hindered them.
You can't keep hoping on luck to always come through for you. This stage of the competition, you need more tactical formation to be able to defeat your opponent. Right now, I don't think Southgate has any tactics he can boast of, and even though Netherlands aren't a match for them on a good day, but from what I've seen of Robert Koeman's boys, I'm certain England will need more than luck if they want to proceed to the finals.

The France national team is about to face one of the greatest test of their stay in this competition and we know how Spain gets the ball so wide when they're going for a counter without a single player not getting in the mix, it will be hard for the France side to get their marking too close to the wingers and midfielders of Spain from how I have seen them (France) play, it will make Kante to be more stressed out that's if they let him do more of the marking tomorrow.
The France national team need to make use of the pitch not playing a one sided game if not they'll pay for it, Mbappe shouldn't be the only target and Dembele shouldn't waste more chances in this encounter and if that happens the Spanish players will capitalize on them and it will be more dangerous if Spain takes the lead but one thing is sure, a draw can happen if the France side keep it calm, IMO France they can't beat Spain even if it goes on to extra time.
The thing is that France game is a lot easier to predict especially when there is absolutely poor creativity in their midfield, if France is to allow or call any player to change their gameplay then I think it would be Paul Pogba and even mbappe himself confesses this because with Pogba at the heart of that midfield mbappe can be easily feed with some killer pass just like the way TONY KROSS does it but due to the ban on Pogba he will have to stay a lot longer to enjoy the good game again.
France has been really poor and I think they don't have any excuse to cover their performance, am just still suprised at how they are at this position now and I won't be surprised again if they would actually pull out another miracle against this spain team because Spain is clearly way better than France and with the current stats would be clear favorite's to win this game and even the competition at large.

I think Spain will beat France... By the way bookmakers give equally high odds for a win for one of the teams or a draw, now it's about 3.0... But in previous play-off matches the game often went into extra time, so it can happen here too... But I'll probably take my chances and bet on Spain's win...
I'll be rooting for spain. The only problem is, spain is gonna miss lots of its players due to the suspension. Carvajal, Le Normand, and Fabian won't play in the upcoming game. I expect Nacho to take Le Normand's position. But, La Fuente has not yet decided who will take Carvajal's position.

Though spain being favored in this game, but it feels like that france may be surprising us, but im hoping that won't happen. Missed a few defenders made france is not as strong as the previous games, but france is gonna come with a very strong squad.

And French feels like a team that plays shit all the way to the final, but hopefully im wrong. In the end, Spain must be careful. Spain may expose the team's vulnerability without key defenders.

If France were poor, but they got this far in the Euro Cup, it's amazing. Surprisingly, they did not have a great performance, yet they entered the semi-finals by beating Portugal. However, semi-final matches are more exciting and interestingly, they definitely require performances. And with Spain, France will try hard but may not be successful and may not be able to enter the final. Spain team is very hardworking and strong, so they will definitely work hard to beat France in the semi-final match and qualify for the final.
In the quarterfinals  Portugal looked better, but France also showed not the worst game and if they were able to get to the semifinals, then there is a matter not only of luck. But if you evaluate how Spain plays, I will give my preference to them, even though in the match with Germany they were also lucky that the referee did not appoint a penalty after the game with his hand, although it is obvious that the hand was not pressed to the body, and the ball flew into the gate.
Spain victory over Germany was not a luck because they deserved it. Spain was able to score twice before Germany even when Germany was able to out themselves back in the game, Spain didn't give up. It was unfortunate for the Germans that they were unable to defend the extra time till the end maybe penalty would have given them a chance of qualifying to the semifinals.

Spain is better than France in this competition and that is what will determine who will win the match. It will be very easy for Spain to find the back of the net but France are always finding it difficult to find the back of the net. The finals will be Spain and whoever wins between England and Netherlands.
The utmost certainty of which you say this is just amazing because if there is anything I have learnt about football is that even the better team sometimes loses out to the weak one and this was also the case of the last France victory because from what I watched in that France game Portugal were far more better in terms of attack pass accuracy and so many more but the end result was Victory for France and same thing happened vice versa in the finals that Portugal won France too.

The bookie makes Spain and England the favorite teams to qualify for the final round with odds given at 1.77 for Spain and 1.75 for England who will play the Netherlands. *note: the odds are sourced from rollbit.com

As we all know, the semifinal match is a fierce match where it is difficult to predict the result. But this is the most challenging round for gamblers to find analysis before deciding to place a bet.
Spain's game is good compared to France, but a surprise from France could ruin Spain's good game.
It's the same with England, even though they are not very sure about their game, England has the potential to beat the Netherlands.

Well so far we can only speculate and analyze based on the last performance of each team, in regular time Spain and England are favorites to win but we don't know what would happen if the match had to go to a penalty shootout. Usually in the semifinal match both teams will play more carefully unless one of the teams concedes in the early minutes maybe the situation will turn aggressive because there is no other choice, attack or lose as happened in the match between Austria vs Türkiye.

Personally I predict Spain winning percentage is 55% while England 60% if we bet on the 1x2 market and want to take risks then a draw is an attractive option, this prediction does not include a red card scenario, we know sometimes things like this can happen especially in the aggressive match between England vs Netherland, predicted to be a lot of cards.
