Very hard to predict games indeed. Today’s games are too difficult fixtures for a quarter final match
I do think Germany and France are two teams looking good to progress to the semifinals but then important matches like these can not be predicted by mere form, both teams are strong and so it will not be an easy match.
It will be great seeing CR7 go head to head with Mbappe today, another opportunity for Mbappe to play against his idol. I hope CR7 scores today at least to be on the goal scorer list.

The most logical result in the Spain-Germany match will be a draw. Both rivals know how to get the result they need, although their approaches to the game are different. The Spaniards are not afraid to play open soccer and often score a lot of goals. The Germans, on the other hand, play as cautiously as possible. Therefore, I expect this match to end in a score draw.

The bracket deserves to be called the Bracket of Death, where the Big Four champion candidates must meet early in the quarter-finals, so there must be 2 teams that will be eliminated, while the winners still have to fight to get tickets to the final. It's definitely not easy to guess who will be the winner because they all have a balanced level and performance. But if I had to choose I would prefer Germany and Portugal.

Spain is indeed very strong, but Germany has another advantage as host, so the crowd will clearly be a very important moral support for Germany.

Considering how France plays in attack, I think that Portugal's defense will be able to contain them, and the success of Portugal in attack will depend on Ronaldo's mood, because he clearly wants to do everything himself, not always, but in many cases. The match will be more difficult for Germany, Negelsman will need to do something against such a strong Spain. In the match against Italy, Spalletti almost worked with a tight defensive game, but it was still not enough. Negelsman definitely won’t agree to play on defense, because they won’t forgive him for it.

starting from the assumption that politics should absolutely remain outside of football and that it should have nothing to do with sport, I don't see many things as right which in my opinion are easily accepted by FIFA or UEFA bodies, there are many things that are unfair but are in any case made to look good then we all know what happens when politics mixes with football look what happened with Paolo Di Canio great player but with that Giesto he was pilloried

I agree that Spain is one of best teams in Euro 2024 with their performances so far but it's hard to say this with France. Germany is another team can be considered as performing well so far but unfortunately, two best teams Spain and Germany will have to fight each other and only one of them will play in semi final stage of Euro 2024.

It's hard to recognize that France are performing well in Euro 2024 and a big match with Portugal is a big test for France which I don't actually believe France will succeed to complete it as a winner. Portugal are strong enough beat France in their direct match and bring more pain to France and Mbappe after beating this opponent in Euro 2016 final match in France, the host of that Euro.

Lack of a central midfielder like Paul Pogba, France lack of ability to score goals from their midfield and we saw Tchouameni got many opportunities but did not score any goal for France in a latest match in round of 16.

Merih Demiral might be only wanna show his pride in being a turkish, but it's very sensitive gesture from him. I thought Merih should remember his position in the turkish national squad. It's not funny to see him get banned for two matches just for his gesture when he celebrated.
I can confirm Merih has not been banned yet. But, UEFA is still investigating his case. And, he must pay a fine if UEFA finds him guilty.

I know how you feel about that. But, it's unnecessary for Merih to use such a gesture. It's very sensitive and could lead to UEFA punishing him. The other party may have different representation of Merih's gesture. Many of them believe his gesture tied to the right-wing nationalist group Grey Wolves.

Spain German
Portugal France

Hard to predict today, these could be easly finals.
I guess Span and France are the 2 better looking teams at the moment.
Lets see if CR7 can finally shore his 1st goal during his last Eurocup

it's certainly going to be an emotional moment for the two legend who will be facing themselves in this great and all important fixture. Playing against an idol you've so much revared right from the days you where little and almost copied and modeled your pattern of play from hes and you're faced with a responsibility of giving your country a ticket into the semi finals while damning all the hopes and expectations of your mentor. If it was in the group stage that we hard this fixture, it would have been more of a show off of skills and talent from mbape but in a case as this where there is a lot to play for and eyes looking and expecting magic from the dou, it's certainly a big game to anticipate.

Going back to the strength and the team that has an higher chance of winning this match, we have one of the two most strongest attack at both ends and that's just a constant but with regards to the support systems that can score  goals should thier be a sort of lapses from Christian Ronaldo and mbape, Portugal has better alternative options that are as hungry to score goals just as Ronaldo is also hungry to score goals. Bruno Fernandez and Bernardo Silva are all hungry to score goals in this tournament and seems to be a serious factor not to be left out as a potential threat against France defense. If it's going to end in the official 90 minutes of play, it's most likely going in favour of the Portuguese side.

I don’t think this is real, this is just a rumor, they can’t ban Demiral for that celebration because the celebration doesn’t mean anything to me, Bellingham was also investigated but they didn’t ban him so why will they ban Demiral for that too, I’m a Real Madrid fans and I like Bellingham but for not taking any action against him and they want to take against Demiral is not fair, the UEFA can’t even try such because it will be a disgrace for them all because many people will come for them and ask them. I have been having this feeling that why is it that UEFA always loves English players more than any players in football. Is it that the English players are more important than the other players in football?

I don’t think Demiral will be banned from any games because of that celebration I don’t even know what it means, Demiral is very important for Turkey's squad and I think the news you post is a joke or a rumor because it is true it will be announced by some legit media that are not joking, I think we should wait and see what will happen in the next game of Turkey and see if the news is true or not.

In the quarter-final match, of course nothing is easy, but each of us has our own predictions which can be seen from a different point of view.
The Portugal vs France match will definitely be quite fierce, but I have looked at the overall performance of the two teams in this tournament since the group stage and in my opinion Portugal's performance is slightly better than France.
The French team is not as good as several years ago and currently the team's performance is very inconsistent so this is what gives Portugal the opportunity to beat them and advance to the semifinals.

This is really going to be a fascinating encounter that am just looking up, because I believe that it's a game that is going to keep you at the edge of your seat all throughout the game, though I would have loved it if Portugal can win, like let them give something to cristiano Ronaldo as a gift before his retirement, because he deserves to be rewarded in the national team for all he has given to the team, but it's not going to be easy no doubt, because France is not an easy team either.

Another game I will really be looking up to, is the game between Germany vs Spain, If am correct, I believe that since the euros started, it's now we are seeing the best teams face off, and in this particular encounter, I think it's can be won by either side, because none of them is a push over, and I also think that were the battle will be won and lost is how tactically sound the both managers are, in this particular encounter that is going to save the day for any of them, but me I will be gunning for Germany to win at the very end.

It is not prohibited in Austria, but this symbol is prohibited in Türkiye. The celebration of this symbol is so closely linked to politics in Türkiye that UEFA had to punish Mehdi Demiral. Suddenly this created a polemic between fans and UEFA as the parent had to give equal punishment considering that it was a quite serious problem.

Even so, Turkey feels very disadvantaged by the absence of Mehdi Demiral considering that he is a central defender who had scored 2 winning goals for Turkey in the previous match and thanks to his goals Turkey was also able to advance to the quarter-finals. Türkiye's midfield will be greatly disadvantaged by the absence of Mehdi Demiral, especially since they have to face the Netherlands later. I also heard that this punishment made Turkish fans angry at UEFA because Bellingham, who made a "controversial move" in the previous match against Slovakia, was only fined 20,000 euros and Mehdi Demiral was even suspended for 2 matches.

None of the matches in the quarter-finals are easy for us to predict, including the Portugal vs France match. But yeah, for the Portugal vs France match, I actually also hope Portugal wins. But I have to admit that France is also a very strong team that is comparable to Portugal. And there is Mbappe who is also in very good form of course. Yes, Mbappe idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo. And for Mbappe he definitely wants to appear more than usual in front of the players he idolizes. And that will make Mbappe more motivated to win. For Cristiano Ronaldo, this is his last Euro and he definitely wants to take Portugal further in his final moments.

To predict Portugal's match against France is of course very difficult, but so far in my opinion the two have the potential to be almost equal in terms of strength and indeed from France there is a star player, namely Mbappe, and from Portugal there is also a star player, namely Cristiano Ronaldo. If you look at France's last match against Portugal in the European Cup, the match ended with a score of 2-2, of course the upcoming match will be an exciting match and of course Mbappe fans and Ronaldo fans will be there.

Yes, of course it is possible that the match will have the potential for a penalty shootout, but in my opinion the potential for a penalty shootout is definitely very slim. I personally find it difficult to predict who the winner will be, but I personally believe that my idol will win, namely Portugal, which of course has the potential to beat France.

but honestly, I will enjoy Portugal's match against France because of course we will see 2 star players who will of course fight fiercely, but what is unique is that Cristiano Ronaldo is Mbappe's idol and the match will definitely be a very good match. but I predict 2-1 for Portugal to win.

We have seen the gameplay of the France team. Strong squad, talented players. Throughout the match we saw the dominance of the French players. France players have been able to attack a lot. Even then, France could not score more than one goal in the match. However, France's opponents were relatively strong. Austria, Poland, Netherlands and Belgium are all strong teams.

It is impossible to make predictions about Portugal's performance. If Ronaldo performs well, Portugal's chances of winning will increase. But we are not seeing the expected good performance from Ronaldo. Ronaldo is very confident. He will try hard to win this match. Give your maximum effort for this. This is the last Euro of Ronaldo's career. He is desperate to win it.

Maybe because Portugal has not fully shown its best performance at this Euro, Portugal managed to win in the first and second matches, but they lost to debutant team Georgia in the last match of the group phase, then struggled to get rid of Slovenia on penalties in the round of 16. France performance was also no better than Portugal, during the four matches played at the Euros, France only managed three goals, two of which resulted from own goals from Austrian and Belgian players, while the other goal came from Mbappe penalty execution against Poland.

I can't predict who will win this match because Portugal and France are both not in their best form. If they want to appear in the semifinals, Portugal and France need to improve the quality of their play, especially when building attacks and completing opportunities. Goal productivity is really needed to maintain their chances of qualifying for the next round, especially since in the semifinals they will meet the team that won the match between Spain or Germany.

People were skeptical of Portugal's squad. As you can see, they have bad chemistry. This was clear in the last game. Ronaldo's drama made it even worse. Many people reacted badly to how Portugal won the game in the round of 16. They now seem to be saying indirectly that a young French talent is far better than Portugal's old squad.

And, I quite agree with you. France has been dreadful, and no goal came from open play. Meanwhile, Portugal still scored many open-play goals. It's rarely to finding someone who feel optimistic with portugal's squad.

Even, some portugues on reddit were also skeptical with their national club to beat france. It sounds strange. And last, people thought Portugal can't make the semi-final. But I think they can.

Both France and Portugal are in very strong positions at the moment. Both have strong squads. However, despite having strong squads, the overall performance of these two teams has been erratic. The erratic performance of the players makes it difficult to predict which team will win the match.

There is no way we have seen a better performance from France in the last four matches. In four matches, the French players managed to score only 3 goals. Despite having a strong front line, their performance is very poor. Portugal, on the other hand, won against Turkiye and Czechia, but lost against Georgia. So it cannot be said for sure which team will perform better in Portugal vs France match. The winning probability is equal to both.

However, this season every team came out with a much more motivated performance and played well enough to win. But here it cannot be said for sure that Portugal will lose, it may not happen with France, because Portugal is much stronger than France. Although France's style of play is not so strong, Portugal has not been successful in attacking so strongly, and the two teams are likely to draw the match. But France will try hard enough to beat Portugal and will surely perform well to succeed but Portugal will not let them win so easily. However, I think France will definitely try to reach the final this season as they have already lost twice in the final, so they will want to win this Euro Cup.
