The attention in this tournament has left the Portugal national team because of how slow they have become with the man Ronaldo always wanting to be on the spot light and not letting the players play as a team, we know it won't help the team in any way. They struggled and managed to qualify to the next stage, if it happens that they continue like they did in the round of 16 I don't see them advancing to the next round. A team that have great players shouldn't be playing under the influence of one man. Ronaldo is a great players but I feel is time to take a bow by sitting on the bench and let the young ones play and he can be outside shouting and encouraging them, that alone will help more than him going out there to humiliate himself but if eventually they win the tournament that's when he have to show up to take his price but for not he's killing the team.


No doubt, the Portugal team is lot dependent on their hero Ronaldo but i do not agree that they played badly in this tournament. They finished first in their group , beat Slovenia in the round of 16 (via penalties though) and now they are in the Quarterfinals to be played against France.
I know it won't be an easy match with France but still, they will have their chances and on their day, they can beat them too. It will be a fight between Kylian Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Also it is yet to be seen how the 39 year old Ronaldo rise to the occasion.

So you don't like it? Do we see that only Ronaldo is aggressive or are your eyes closed because of dislike? In fact, Portugal still needs Ronaldo, whether you like it or not, you have to admit that. Well, let's see, regardless of your dislike that this is Portugal's last EURO with Ronaldo. Regarding contribution, it seems that you were reflecting on Joao Cancelo's statement, but I understand why you went that far in assessing Ronaldo.

His performance may not be as great as before, but that doesn't mean Ronaldo doesn't play an important role. Have you forgotten Bruno Fenandez goal and Ronaldo's assist?

Ronaldo doesn't need to play with fast transitions and rhythms, pressing etc. because his role now is as a Real Striker who only needs to wait and then he can create assists.

The two most competitive teams in Euro Cup are Germany and Spain, between these two teams I support Spain as a favorite. And Spain will win the quarter final match against Germany and they will be able to enter the semi final. But since the two teams are very strong, there is a possibility of a draw, but if the game goes to penalties, it will depend on the luck of each team.

Germany vs Spain will be a very exciting match because as you mentioned that they have a pretty good strength so far and have never lost, both also have pretty good players, I find it difficult to choose to bet, whether Germany or Spain, but with a little instinct maybe I will bet on Spain, what do you think?

The match between Germany and Spain will undoubtedly be very competitive. Because we have seen these two teams perform best in this year's Euro. Both teams were able to show dominance in the group stage.


Source: Transfermarkt

I checked the statistics of Spain vs Germany match. The Spain team is also far ahead in head-to-head matches. Germany have won just one of their last 7 matches against Spain. And the match was a friendly match. Besides, we have seen Spain's dominance in Euro, World Cup and UEFA Nations League. Spain won 3 out of 7 matches. Spain defeated Germany in the 2010 WC semi-final and the 2008 Euro final. Moreover, we have seen the Spain team play well against Germany in the last few matches. 20/21 UEFA Nations League 1 Spain beat Germany 6-0. So I consider Spain as favorite in the next match. Moreover, the Spain team is in a very good rhythm now.
Yes both are quite good at this Euro, and indeed in previous matches Spain always dominated, Germany did not get many wins against Spain, I myself saw this before saying that, although with different sources.

Hopefully this bet is as predicted, this will be a very interesting match to watch, because both of them must also fight very hard, I think it would be very doubtful if talking about the score that will be generated from this match, maybe 3-1 or 2-1 for Spain, this is probably quite doubtful, because the score is more difficult to predict.

Coming up to the quarter final matches, England and Netherland seems to be the teams with bigger chance to go through semi-finals.
But since we have seen ourselves that most of them were struggling (except Spain), I have to say that every team in the quarter final have equal chance to qualify for semi finals.
For the record, England found it very difficult to beat Slovakia. They almost lost when Ivan Schranz scored a goal and held on until the end of the match. Bellingham brought Real Madrid's mentality and managed to score a goal in added time. And Kane scored the second goal in extra time. Their opponent is Switzerland and I think Switzerland is stronger than Slovakia. England must be wary of Switzerland because they managed to beat Italy in the previous round.

The Netherlands was defeated by Austria and Austria lost to Türkiye. It will not be easy for the Netherlands to beat Türkiye because Türkiye is one of the underdogs at Euro 2024.
On paper, these two countries are the more favored countries, but we have also seen many teams that are not favored actually win the match, and maybe that will happen in this match. England itself still has many problems, even though they have many well-known players, in their games they still tend to play not according to what is expected, in the last match they almost lost if they failed to score a goal in the last minute. Luck is still on their side.

The Netherlands still has the same problems, especially on the front lines when facing opponents with strong defense. They were also quite lucky because they managed to qualify for the knockout rounds because they were one of the best 3 ranked countries, if not for that they would have gone home early. Türkiye is not a team that can be underestimated, they have very high fighting power and that will be troublesome for the Netherlands.

Since the Euro started, England has become one of the favorite teams to win the trophy and I don't know what is the reason why they are favorites, but in fact I see it looks like England will face a difficult match against Switzerland later, what you say is true, although England is full of there are a lot of young and talented players but I don't think they can integrate well into the team, so we can see how they went through the previous match with great difficulty to achieve victory, the match against Slovenia can be a reference for us to see how strong England really is, and I personally am quite doubtful that they will be able to win over Switzerland in the quarter-final match later.

Turkey was the most surprising team for me at euro this year apart from Switzerland which was able to reach the quarter-finals, even though the Netherlands has been a pretty strong team so far but considering their history and mentality so far of course Turkey has a big chance of being able to destroy the Netherlands in the next match, Turkey, which is mostly made up of local club players but has been able to show quite impressive performances in each of their matches, so I think Turkey should be one of the favorite teams to continue to semi-final round.

The Netherlands managed to put out their best performance in this match, this is the real Netherlands, they played quite well organized in all areas but their weakness was that they couldn't be consistent, which has been the case all along.
Romania tried to do their best but they lost in terms of quality. I watched this match and saw how difficult it was for Romania to develop their performance, and that was because the Netherlands played quite well.
The Netherlands deserved to win with their performance like that in the match against Romania, but the Netherlands must also be able to continue to improve in the quarter-finals because their opponent in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals this time is Turkey, who in general are not too bad at Euro 2024 this time. And I think the match for the Dutch national team in the quarter-finals is also a match that will be quite interesting to watch because these two national teams both have players who are quite capable at the moment.
Romania football team could not play well in this tournament and Netherland Football team easily qualify for quarter final . But Turkey is most favorite team in quarter final because they have most experienced player's in the team and their performance is top class and they will play well in quarter final against Netherland team and they will win the match easily by high margin. Knock out stage is different from the group stage and we will see the good match if Netherland team resist againt Turkey and match could be interesting because some players of Netherland team can give tough time to Turkey team . Otherwise,  Turkey team is favorite for this match and and they have capability to play semi final against big team .

Let's say England somehow won Euro 2024 title despite playing really boring. I would still sack Southgate.  Tongue  Because he just can't be trusted for next years. He isn't the right manager for this team clearly.

I don't understand bookmakers either about insisting on showing England as the closest team to the trophy. Yeah maybe they have the highest squad quality in the tournament. But do they really overlooking the manager fact? They are lucky about one thing that Spain or Germany are saying goodbye in this round. However it is very probable to have a draw against one of them in the finale. If England also make it there though.  Grin
Dumbfounded England won the Euro 2024 title, Cheesy England just needs to get past Switzerland - Netherlands then the team is in the final there England will pit their luck. About Southgate will be retained by the English federation.

Sya thinks there England has high quality players, the manager's talent has been ignored because Southgate will not affect the results, while the players may play better than expected but if there is no better tactics their game will be bad.

I dont understand it either, I guess they are basing it on all the top quality world class players in the
squad who cannot play effectively enough as a team.

They definitely have the easier side of the draw for sure, look at that other quarter finals side with
Germany, Spain, Portugal and France!

I have been listening to some punters for a few days now and all think that Switzerland shouldnt be
written off but if they do manage to beat the Swiss I believe they will grow in confidence and could
be difficult for either the Netherlands or Turkiye to beat. I would like to see the Dutch go through to
the final at least.

As we entered into quarterfinal things are pretty difficult for predictions but still we can talk about few teams with I have different view here because I am feeling France is much better side, and they can go through into this game with Portugal is still having problems and their attack is also not good enough to score goals against better teams.

With Portugal performance against Georgia and Slovenia was not good enough they fail to score in these games which is big question mark on their attack France is also having problems but still they are able to give best and winning games without any hard work for me in this game we can go into extra time but most chances we will be having France in last four.
If we are talking about attack, then France’s attack looked very bad, at least until the quarterfinals. They beat Austria 0-1, but there was an own goal from Wober, then a draw with the Netherlands 0-0, then there was a draw with Poland and they managed to score one goal, and that was from the penalty spot, and in the 1/8 finals they beat the Belgians 1-0, but so with the help of an own goal from Vertonghen. That is, France reached the quarterfinals but did not score a single goal from the game, Portugal looks much better in this regard. France were originally my favorites, but they are playing poorly, so I would probably give preference to Portugal in this match.

French team is not performing as good as me and a lot of others had expected. They were supposed to be one of the larger team in this tournament but they are barely getting through. The thing with portugal is same, they too are getting lucky at the last moment. The game between them would still be hard to predict.
The best gameplay in my personal opinion among the remaining teams is shown by Spain, Germany and Switzerland. It's sad that Spain and Germany are playing early and one of them would be knocked out, I guess Spain is a better team overall but Germany would have home advantage. Switzerland is playing exceptionally well and their game with England would be fun to watch.

Do you also think offside rules have turned into a ridiculous thing?  Huh  To tell the truth I have really started thinking like that.

For example the offside call for Denmark against Germany down below.



It's like only his toe is ahead. This is just insane... I believe the rules shouldn't be this strict. It must be like both of a player's feet should be ahead or something else but a reasonable decision in the end.

Just because of this situation we are witnessing really nice goals which can even change the direction of a game being disallowed in Euro 2024 and many other tournaments...

The France versus Portugal match is also the most exciting match to be awaited by the two teams is also a strong candidate to win the euro title this edition this year. But when viewed from their performance in the group phase match until round 16, Ronaldo and Mbappe must be able to improve their performance in order to smooth the steps to the next round. Portugal still appears inconsistent even though they are always superior in every game as well as France which has not been able to appear satisfactory. I predicted that the match of two elite teams in Europe would perform all out and it seemed that Les Blues were a little superior because their squad was accustomed to the scheme that Deschamps applied. While Portugal also has a complete squad, it's just that Martinez is still hesitant in making decisions in managing starting XI because he does not dare to make a decision to Cristiano Ronaldo and that could have been backfired for the team because he still relies fully on Ronaldo who is the performance he is not so Strong again to survive throughout the game.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Spain vs Germany is a tough match that might go into extra time.
Portugal vs France, same two favorites I just want to enjoy a lot of goals happening.
England vs Switzerland, still doubting England but for some reason my gut feeling is always betting on England despite being disappointed with their performances.
The most hotly contested match will certainly be Spain against Germany, of course.
But I don't want to say obvious things, I would also like to focus on the England vs Switzerland match.
As poor as we can say Italy is, Switzerland played very well indeed.
So in my opinion this match could hold some surprises.
I think others agree that the Spain vs Germany match is the most anticipated for tomorrow.
After that it's Portugal vs France.

So you'll never regret it when England's game doesn't change anymore this is Southgate's habit of doing it, still won't miss all 1/8 matches.

I don't want to talk about Italy because this team cannot be saved anymore.

How can you say that there is no thing such as a home advantage in this tournament? This tournament is in Germany, Germans are going to play on their own stadium, in their own country, in their fanbase, in stadium that will be full of their own people. This is a huge advantage, especially mentally. You feel like a king in your own home and you don't feel that way in someone else's house.
Also don't forget that the referees might give an advantage to Germany, even though the referees comes from England, but we don't know what behind the match. When Germany beat Switzerland on the round of 16, Switzerland's manager complaining if the referees judgement isn't fair.

On paper, Spain is better than Germany, but by having those advantages really give Germany a high chance to not lose, at least ends in draw.
In the match with Denmark the referee also as it seems to me judged in favor of the German team. First there was an incomprehensible decision to stop the match because of rain, although neither before that moment, nor after, no one stopped the matches, and then when the Danish team scored a goal, it seems to me unfairly canceled, because Danish player was in passive offside and did not even touch the ball, and the Danish player scored after the German player failed to clear the ball and actually rolled it to the Danish player who scored a goal, and then the referees gave a penalty to the Danish player because of a finger touch.

If Spain team wants to win they needs to play much stronger than Germany, otherwise refereeing errors can tip the scales in favor of Germany, if the game will be approximately equal.

Will this be a strong foundation for future matches? because when it comes to referees we don't necessarily judge too much, even if cheating the public will judge for themselves and it could lead to a court lawsuit. Btw in football anything can happen but if Spain is better than Germany then score as many goals as possible and prove that they deserve to qualify. The referee will not cheat arbitrarily, don't make it seem as if Spain already feels wronged before the match starts. Spain just needs to play better and score goals, right? Yes, do that so that Germany can't beat them.

It is too much to judge the referee before the match starts, on the field as long as the Spanish players play cleanly the referee will not show anything unreasonable.

Tomorrow we pick up where we left off with the quarterfinal clash between Spain and Germany. For Germany, the hosts have the first tough match ahead of them. They are not the favorites against Spain, but Germany has a big advantage here as hosts. Germany has to beat Spain, one of the favorites of the tournament. It is not difficult to predict that the match will go to extra time or even penalties.
That could most likely happen in such an important match, especially since both are big countries that are strong in their respective playing styles, it doesn't matter to me if this match ends in a penalty shootout, but if Germany wants to win they must really be able to put up a fight against Spain because this country is really the favorite in this season's Euro so that's Germany's only option if they don't want this match to end in a penalty shootout.

They are both equally strong and candidates for the championship, It's just unfortunate that they had to meet earlier, so one of them will be eliminated from Euro 2024. It is quite difficult to predict who will win this match and it is very likely that this match will continue into extra time and even a penalty shootout (I just hope that the game won't be boring). What is quite interesting to see from this match is the competition between Jamal Musiala and Lamine Yamal (two young players from the respective teams).
