Crazy win for Spain, they are the stronger team but they manage to win only in the end in the final minute.
The referee got hard time today.

Meanwhile France and Portugual they are playing their final and the game is still open with a result of 0 - 0.

Another extra time game?

They deserve the win, they fought hard for it, Germany already showed how exhausted they was honestly and they committed too many fouls. I was surprised to see that non of them finally saw themselves sent out of the pitch. It's not a good farewell then for Toni Kroos, this is not the way I expected it.
It seems like Spain will go a long way to the finals, they lacked concentration otherwise that game shouldn't have be tied. Anyways, I'm not shifting my focus to the Dutch National side as I want them to win this Competition.

We've seen scarcity of chances in this game, I wonder why Bruno Fernandez would be substituted when Rapheal Leao obviously plays nothing in this game.
Asides him would be also Kylian Mbappe who has done nothing in this game. Few minutes of Ousman Dembele on the pitch has been quite better than Kylian Mbappe. I'm wondering if this is what he wants to do when the new season kicks off for the La Liga Competition.

Yeah!! It'll most likely be anoth game ending as a fulltime draw game.
I totally agree with you when you say that Spain deserved their win against Germany earlier today because they were simply the better side on the pitch. After Spain opened the scoring through Dani Olmo in the second half, I told my brother who was supporting the Germans while watching the game with me that it's going to be the winner but just in the dying minutes of the game, Florian Wirtz scored a surprising equalizer. That goal which forced the game to extra time made me develop doubts about the possibility of a Spain win in the game but just when I thought the game is going to get decided by a penalty shoot-out, Spain struck again in the last minutes of the second half of the additional time.
With Spain's performance today, I think they stand a very good chance of beating any of the teams between France and Portugal when they play in the semi finals. Spain before coming to the tournament wasn't the favorite team to win the competition but they've shown enough strength to be considered as one of the favorites in the tournament.

Portugal and France didn't score for 105 minutes. In fact, they came close to scoring, but their finishing was not good. I didn't like the play of both teams. Whoever makes it to the semi final doesn't stand a chance against Spain. It looks like the match will go to penalties unless there is a goal in the last 15 minutes. Now the luck factor comes into play in penalties. Both sides can advance. The teams were trying to play in a controlled manner too much, but they got out of hand. I must say I was bored watching it.
I am 100% very sure that this match will end with a penalty kick, but it's a shame why Mbappe had to be pulled out and sit on the bench, the match between Portugal vs France was very exciting, even the world cup champions had to lose ball position to Portugal, Cristiano and his friends seem to be putting a lot of pressure on France

Portugal and France just resumed the second half after a goalless first half it was an interesting first half and both teams performed very well. The second half have barely begun but France seem to be more energetic and more aggressive, they are looking to score a goal but Portugal are defending very well. The intensity of thee game is very high and Portugal have not managed to create any chance since the start of the second half. It’s still very difficult to predict a winner.
This game will definitely end in a draw with the way everything is actually turning up because the two team are very careful  and no one wants to commit any error and if the game actually decides to end up in penalty it would be base on luck and Portugal won their last shoot out with their goal keeper being the center of action by saving almost three penalty I think and if he can replicate such here then it would good for their progress.

And finally it ended in a draw just like you predicted. What a game between Portugal and France, even though Portugal has most of the ball possession but France had better clear scoring opportunities but they wasted all of them. Now the match has entered the extra time as we awaits which team will finally have the win tonight because if they are unable to win in this extra time then they will move over to penalty shoot out and we know how good diogo Costa have been in saving penalty for the Portuguese team so should they enter into penalties then am afraid Portugal will have to claim the win since they have good keeper and awesome strikers that can score penalties for them. Ronaldo doesn't seem to be visible in this game tonight as he is well held by the France defenders so he didn't get any better opportunity to make an attempt at the opponent's goal post but let's see how the extra time goes as it is already underway and just within 3 minutes into the extra time, Ronaldo has wasted an opportunity to score as he tipped the ball high off the opponent's goal post. Hope he will try his best to see his team wins because I don't want what happened in their last game to repeat itself where he missed a penalty awarded in favour of the Portuguese side and afterwards he started crying like a baby.

It's true, I saw both teams playing with great caution, no one wanted to take risks from either side so now the second half of the match ended still goalless, and to be honest I saw quite a lot of opportunities that France wasted when they have managed to penetrate Portugal's defense, that's a shame.

On the other hand, I don't think I can draw conclusions too early about the match ending in a penalty shootout because there are still two additional rounds that must first be passed, and of course it is clear that the match will get hotter and I am sure that in this extra round both teams will definitely shows his aggressive side, but if it turns out that these two extra rounds still haven't produced any goals from either side then maybe what you said could be repeated regarding the saves made by the Portuguese goalkeeper.
Well with the way the two teams have been cautious, it's actually easy to draw the conclusion on the game ending in penalty because the two teams will still be cautious even in these remaining 30mins of play and am very certain that the shoot out will be very interesting but Incase it's does end in draw the french will be my bet to qualify although the Portuguese goal keeper has shown his experience in saves in their previous shoot out.

As I expected, my favourite to win this year's trophy, Spain, did not let down.
I think Germany was the toughest team out of all the other remaining ones, but Spaniards managed to get through them, and should be much easier from here.

Still a goalless draw in Portugal Vs France, I hope Ronaldo and his team will send the African team home. But let the better team win. I expect to see penalties here.

Apparently, there will indeed be a penalty shootout, although there is still a whole half to go. The game is going in such a way that sometimes you want to sleep. Portugal have the ball almost all the time, but can't do anything. Even in terms of dangerous moments, this game is very boring. In my opinion, none of these teams are worthy of the final, I hope Spain will easily qualify for the final

England have been drawn against Switzerland. Of course England, who I think have better players, are the favorites in this match, but I honestly doubt that England can eliminate Switzerland. The way Switzerland played against Italy, they are the secret favorites against England. Switzerland has managed to get some good scores and matches in this tournament. So maybe they have a chance to go through.
Tomorrow we will will watch the match of England againt Switzerland.The Switzerland team has capacity to win this match because Switzerland football team played very well in this tournament so far and they can qualify for semi final. The match could be competitive because both team are of equal strength and no man can say that England or Switzerland will win this match . But more possibility, Switzerland will win this match and I am impressed by Switzerland players because they played brilliant in last match against Italy and Freuler played well in last match and played critical role in winning of the team and whole team played like a team and the combination of team was excellent.

Today seems like a game of draws as expected Roll Eyes, except the first game played between Spain and Germany had goal's in it which was entertaining to watch too ,unlike the France -Portugal game which looks like both teams are giving each other the respect they deserve and seem like they are already settled to break the deadlock via penalties  Tongue lol 😂 not to get ahead of ourselves, extra time will need to be played to see if a winner can emerge and hope France makes better use of the chances they get...am seeing Kante getting the winning goal because he seems to be getting the chances more than everyone else and it wouldn't be a Bad idea if the football gods make this  happen for the lad!

Inplay prediction after extra time Portugal 0-0 France...after penalties France progress.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
I am even surprised to see you post here for the match. Indeed this was a high voltage match and heart breaking for Germany supporters.
Usually I watch big matches. In this match, both team gave their all to win the match. The equalizer in the regular time for Germany was a release for the German fan and then the winning goal in the 119th minute was painful experience for the same supporters. It's a bad day for the host county. I am guessing Spain is going to meet Portugal in the semi :-D
Well analysed!
Your guess that Portugal could be the country to meet Spain is also valid because they have been the better team. But it's surprising that the match has ended again and going to the extra time which means anything can happen. Portugal could be heartbroken and also France could be.
Sorry, there's no much time to discuss here, let me go finish the interesting match.

I thought that was because both teams had not found a goal until injury time. Both teams have strong defenses and the performance of both goalkeepers is also very good, so extra time is what will happen now.

France vs Portugal is a tough match, but the performance of both teams tends to be the same so far. Both coaches rotated to improve the intensity of the attack, but France improved in the second half. Camavinga, Dembele and Mbappe still failed to score, as did Muani and Kante with several opportunities. I hope Portugal can score goals in 2x15 and win this match. But I really don't like that Ronaldo is still isolated in this match.

It is clear that the match will end in a penalty shootout because both teams are very careful and nobody wants to make any mistakes. Today quarter final matches will all get to the extra time to show how tough the quarter finals matches are this year.

If the match ends in a penalty it is going to favor Portugal because the have good penalty shooters. France needs to try their best to see how they can create a chance to score before 120 minutes will be over. Three additional minutes have being added as extra time.
Well even with that being the wide seen option they is still a whole 30minutes of extra time to play and we saw in the previous match that it was at the very dieing minutes that Spain actually suprised and scored a goal and took the tie by surprise. The match is certain for penalty and I would also love it to be decided through that means atleast we know that the two teams was equal in their gameplay and the best goalkeeper will be the decider.

Spain Vs Germany will be one of the toughest fixture to watch in this EURO, both teams has dedicated a lot of how much they can dominant which has brought them here but unfortunately how out of the best one has to step down for the other. A hard pick on this but Spain have young talented players who can dominate with their level of strength/ability while Germany has a more experienced and tactical players which can be used as an advantage to secure victory. Germany loosing this fixture means saying goodbye Kross, very sad, reason why I want Germany to win so he can say farewell with a trophy.
My prediction was ultimately correct as I had placed Spain to qualify for the semifinals by beating Germany. Lamine Yamal once again proved his quality and repaid his coach's trust by creating 1 assist for Dani Olmo's second goal at Euro 2024. Lamine Yamal impressed many with his impressive performance, but Merino was the hero of Spain's win today.

In the bracket, I have chosen France and Spain to be in the semifinals by beating their respective opponents, but so far France has not scored a goal. Portugal and France were both still playing goalless until the second half, but there was still plenty of time to wait for goals. Both teams look confident in scoring goals, but I hope France can progress to the semifinals to play Spain.
I enjoyed watching the match, it was a tough game with plenty of yellow cards and players going to miss the next fixture. Spain really performed at their best, some minutes into the game I had the conviction that Spain were definitely going to win. Spain wasn't relaxed unlike Germany who felt reluctant until they conceded before they began playing to equalize. Germany the Host now has to say goodbye, same with Kross as this becomes his last official professional game, we all wished he stayed longer.

France are the favourites to qualify but from the results on the live session they both have equal odds on who to qualify but I suppose France has a better chance of winning.

Rollbit is for you. Take $RLB token!
Did Spain deserve the win? They definitely did!  Smiley  They have such a great squad depth though. Merino's header was so good that I don't think any other goalkeeper would also be able to save it either.
Did they deserve to win?
Did Germany deserve to have a draw in 120 minutes?

Generally I did not see Spain played better than Germany in this match and Germany created more pressure and opportunities on Spain than Spain did on Germany. It's football, one moment decides the winner but Germany actually had some good opportunities and finishes. They only lacked of luckiness to have a second goal.

Quote
The referee literally did everything he could for Germany to score in the stoppage time honestly.  Tongue  But Germany still couldn't score and failed their fans in a competition being organized home.
You are right that the referee tried to give Germany about 2 or 3 more minutes longer than only 2 injured minutes but Germany failed to find a goal. However if you look further, before the second goal of Spain, the referee refused a penalty for Germany. In my opinion, he helped Spain to avoid a second goal and if it happens, Germany lead the match, not Spain.

This defeat is painful for Germany and at least they deserve to pull the match to penalty shootouts. Lose on penalty spot is more acceptable for them than losing like this.

Many yellow cards in the game, and the referee tried his best not to give a red card earlier that would have spoilt the whole game. Spain won the game at the point where Germany were looking to penalties because they were already exhausted.  Portugal against France looks like another game that will get to extra time or one team winning just by a goal. Camavinga is playing very well for France, his dominance in the role he has been asked to play is very obvious.
