It looks like that it is maybe too poor in terms of scored and scoring Goals in the whole Euro 2024 competition.
The Copa America teams also have another playing style as the Euro teams have.
But i guess the main reason for that there are not so much goals is that the other teams getting better and done there homework.

Among all the teams in this Euros if you want to rate from 1-5 teams that have the best players England will come out in the first 3 and the team do we think was going to give us the best of football to watch, England will come out in the top 3 but yet they are the worse in this competition I must say and operating base on luck to this extend I think they should settle for 3rd place. I also agree with you that there (England) presence in the finals will be pretty terrible because they have been playing like underdogs or should I say amateur, watching the 3 Lions makes me feel upset with those line ups that couldn't do anything impressive.
France have got the players and non sees them as one of the  nation to get to this point (Semis) and their play hasn't been up to the level we have seen of the Spanish side but they're better than the likes of the current Champions Italy, England, Belgium and the rest of them who we thought would get far. If they manage to get to the finals I believe they could make it more interesting to watch and difficult for their opponent just like they came with a big fight against Argentina in the World Cup final but let's watch and see how their next game turns out to be.

England is also boring for me at the last World Cup and Euros; in the playoffs, sometimes I think that they would lose quickly, although I understand that this may offend the fans of this team. Perhaps Hari Kane will show his worth in attack, for some reason I have this feeling. Spain, with its young players, can win the championship if they continue their passion and courage.

Mbappe now has too many eyes and responsibility on him, if he even starts to doubt a little, then failure will be close, although I would not demand much from him in this Euro, because he has injuries to his nose, internal contradictions from other championships, problems in his home country with elections and a lot of small and big problems. If he calmly finishes the game, that will be enough for me.

I think you have a point, i am a Ronaldo supporter but frankly i think it is time for Ronaldo to retire from international football and entrust it to the young generations to takeover. It was obvious that he is far too old to play active football in Europe and he was barely able to make decent runs which was unlike the Ronaldo we know, football doesn’t lie and this Euro showed it to the world that he needs to retire and that’s the sad truth.

I have no regrets for him playing the Euros despite not being able to score a goal because he deserved the call up as a result of a wonderful performance in SPL last season, he still has some attributes in him even at this age but i don’t know why people still expect so much from him, i blame the young players for not playing well because if they did everything would have been easy for him. Rafeal Leao, Bruno Fernandez and even Bernado Silva couldn’t do anything and y’all blaming Ronaldo who is 39 for the downfall of his national team.

I thought myself only who noticed that England whenever facing another opponent, the match end up being boring, less chances, less opportunities and surely less goals. They dominated a very safe gameplay, afraid of starting to attack and creating opportunities for them starts whenever they get late in score.
Spain in the other hand are playing great football with young players, not afraid of going full attack and doing their best to score first. It is the only team which is being fun to watch, and France right after it, although they miss many players which are
lacking attack skills. France throwing all the responsibility on Mbapee is not okay, then not trusting him in penalties as they have did against Portugal.

Since there is absolutely no way to credit them for goals and their attack, I think focusing on their defensive excellence isn't actually a bad one because they have been really discipline or is that the whole competition is Just too poor in terms of goals scored in the entire competition I mean even the Copa America seems to be pumping more goals than this Euro tournament.

Even if England by some miracle make it to the final I think the match will still be boring. Yes, I would like to see Spain in the final, they play quite well and never once in this championship have not shown weakness - always fought to the end, the last match against Germany is proof of that. In general, France is not so bad, they are also playing well, so if they go through, I don't see any reason to be disappointed

I would say Carvajal is very important defender in Spain squad. Carvajal performed well against Germany. Carvajal made two important saves. He saved the Spain team from a guaranteed goal. Carvajal's presence was very visible throughout the match. At the same time, Pedri helped stabilize Spain's midfield. Without these two players, it will be difficult for Spain coach Fuente to keep Spain's performance stable.

France has a strong squad. However, considering the overall performance of these two teams in this year's Euro, I think Spain is stronger. The bonding between Spain's players is good and Fuente's match tactics are excellent. I consider Spain as favorite against France.

If we compare both teams, Netherlands seems to be one step ahead. The Netherlands will compete seriously against France by eliminating Turkey with 2 goals in 6 minutes. Although France has difficulty scoring goals in this tournament, they are doing a very good job defensively. France is very successful, but I expected a lot of goals from them in this tournament, so I was disappointed in that sense.

France has a great goalkeeper, a strong defense, a creative midfielder and a fast attacker. Goal productivity has been a problem for France so far and that is why they need hard work and luck to reach the semifinals. Spain is certainly different and so far Spain is the most productive team in the tournament with a record of 11 goals, while France has only scored 3 goals.

The semi-final match will probably be very different to previous matches for France and Spain, but I don't think France has a higher chance of beating Spain if Luis De la Fuente has a special strategy when he can't play Pedri and Carvajal due to injuries and red cards. Spain have also been strong in defense so far, but without Carvajal I think things will be different.

but the defense of the French defenders and midfielders is very strong looking at the France vs Portugal match, whether for tomorrow's match they will use the same strategy or there will be a change in these players from the coach. France's strategy yesterday was pretty good ball control and good at passing the ball. and on the other hand, the Dutch are superior in having a good physique for the current euro season

Actually if Ronaldo was not given the opportunity to play in Euros nobody will notice that he cannot fit into the team anymore because his performance in SPL was in the news a d how he was the highest goal scorer, scoring hat-trick. It was because SPL does not have youngsters that Re super good which was making Ronaldo to shine at old age.

Coming to Euros cleared his doubt to the world that he is old and cannot make any difference in a match the way he use to when he was young. I believe that he will not be part of the national team after their defeat because he is 39 and will be 41 years next world cup showing that he has no cho9but to retire now.

I couldn't have agreed more with that... Xavi Simons should have got a red card, not a yellow. That is not the kind of a challenge UEFA tolerates normally. But the referee didn't have the same idea. VAR didn't even check the incident properly. There was a clear foul on Netherlands' second goal as well. When you look at it from a different angle it is clearly seen. Referees did their job badly in this game unfortunately.

How isn't this a red card? 

I don't want to be seen like I'm finding excuses for this loss for Turkey. I just want to criticize the things that deserve. Referees should be more careful in such a big organization. 

It is obvious that Ronaldo is a figure of such magnitude that he will decide on his presence in the national team without Martinez   I respect Martinez and generally respect the position of the head coach of the national team, but some issues are beyond their area of ​​competence, even when it looks absolutely illogical (as in this case, when it seems that the head coach should decide who to take to the team and who not).
Ronaldo still has monstrous ambitions and a thirst for the game, but it seems to me that he understands that his time has passed and will soon end his career in the national team.

The Netherlands committed a lot of fouls, of course we can see a tough game in matches at this level. But it is necessary to discuss how correct the referee's decisions were. If a few yellow cards or red cards had been issued, perhaps the result of the match would not have ended like this. We cannot say that Turkey lost the match due to the referee's decisions, but it had an impact on them losing the match. This is a sad situation. Let's see how they will play against England

I agree. Even van Dijk confessed that.    He was asked about our player Barış Alper during post-match interview. He said it was really hard to stop him as he was running all the time. Even van Dijk had serious problems on defending last night. Our manager made tactical mistakes but despite that we still found so many chances to equalize it again after it became 2-1. But we couldn't make it...

I wish Netherlands good luck against England. Probably we will see much less number of attacks in 90 minutes unlike our match. Because you know Southgate. 

I expect a final match between Spain and England.

Talking about England since round of 16 they have to hard struggling to beat their opponents because since that stage England have to playing at extra time twice before reach to semifinal even yesterday they have to beat Swiss through an penalty shootout but luckily England can through an those matches with very well and indeed if we see from their performance during this tournament England performance isn't satisfied their fans because they always struggle to beat their opponents in the normal time but admitted or not although England performing poor but they still can able to advances to the semifinal so this proven England has champion mentality

For Netherlands when they only can able to finish at 3rd place on group stages i am very pesimistic Netherlands can go this far but their performance is gradually better even since round of 16 Netherlands performance is very consistent because before reach to the semifinal Netherlands can beat their opponents without having to play in extra time and last match against Turkish is very impressive because after conceded in the first half Netherlands can able to bounce back and win the match and recently i have checked the odds for England and Netherlands and a bit surprised this time the bookmakers placed England as the favourite

I don't want to see France and England in the finals because it will be a boring match since both teams are always struggling to find the back of the net in all their matches. Spain will win France and it will be an easy win because Spain players and attackers are always scoring goals in all their matches and tgeu have never won with a penalty, unlike France that have won three matches with an own luck from their opponents.

If Netherlands can win England, I will be happy because England have all the best players and can dominate the match but they find it difficult to show their qualities in scoring aspect.

The way you had the semi finals of the Euro match analyzed made me laugh. I don't seem to get how the Netherlands having a dirty play as you classified their football match tactics against Turkey, will use those same tactics to win England. Meeting Spain in the final because you believe that Spain will win France when they meet each other.

I hope you have not forgotten that football is unpredictable. It's hard to predict match results correctly. The team you predict to win may turn around to lose their match. By the way, the four teams remaining in the Euro are not less tough, they are all big teams, and any of them can win or lose to the other. That's football to us all

Today games will going to be a tough game because all the teams will make use of their opportunity to win in this semi final, which I know Arsenal will like to see their striker to lead England to beat Netherlands to qualify for final, and this prediction will come to pass soon. Netherlands has demonstrated some quality performance that made them to get to this current stage, but it will be difficult for them to escape from the hands of England because their coach will make use of some players that will help their strikers to secure some goals to beat Netherlands 2:1.

I agree with you that France will going to beat Spain in this game because they will not allow the game to enter extra time in the second half, before they will secure goals that will give them victory because Spain will be fighting for the game to end up draw for them to beat France with penalty shootout, which France will not allow the game to get to penalty shootout before they will beat Spain 0:1 for the favor of France.
