While we expected a competitive match, the match was completely one-sided. I expected better performance from Romanian players. In the match we saw the dominance of Netherlands players. And a nice 3-0 win for the Netherlands. 65% possession of the ball by the players of Netherlad. And from the beginning of the match, many attacks were made by the Netherlands players. A total of 23 shots were made by the Netherlands players. On the other hand, Romania's players made only 5 shots.



The Netherlands vs Romania match was one sided. Expect the Austria vs Turkey match to be competitive. Although I would expect Turkiye to win. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning the match.

lol! I'm looking at this two countries and can't see any big thing to anticipate too much in this match other than just a regular match that might actually be boring.  From the strength of the teams that have proceeded into the quarter finals already, it's going to be more likely that any other team among this two that succeeds in getting through will be kicked out in the next round. The two teams are purely underdogs compared to the others that have qualified and whichever team they are playing against will be too excited and will be preparing eagerly to play through them into the semi finals.

Maybe not a big game but I don't think it will be boring. Turkey's games so far have been quite enjoyable with high tempo and people on social media have also been thinking the same as far as I can see.  

Both teams will prefer an attacking game probably. Austria are quite dominant against us. I have been worried about our poor defense throughout the competition. Austria are one of the great teams to punish those weaknesses.

I hope luck would be right beside us because we will really need it.    Aside from that I'm still frustrated with our manager for insisting on not preferring a natural striker. It is much harder for us to answer Austria attacks in this way.  

I am also feeling on same way as we all know Portugal is having too many big names which are having good quality and their performance is also good in domestic level with this all they deserve to have some part of the playing eleven in these important games just having Ronaldo for the full time is surely not going to help them with now they are heading for the big game against France surely things need to be more competitive even we all know they are also not good as they needed, but surely we need good improvement and dependence on Ronaldo less which will surely increase the confidence level of the players.

So far we are having some boring games in round of 16 which is surely creating feud about the quality of these teams with it's time to bring some improvement, and also we need to have game tempo at the better level which will give better results in this event we have too many problems for the top teams which are fail to give their best with things were really tense hopefully next round bring excitement for the fans.

In today’s second match, Austria and Türkiye will face each other in the last 16 rounds of the 2024 European Football Championship at the Red Bull Arena. Türkiye finished second in Group F, securing their spot in the knockout stage. Austria, on the other hand, topped Group D. Notably, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Samet Akaydin from Turkey, as well as Patrick Wimmer from Austria, will miss this match due to yellow card suspensions.

Austria: Pentz; Posch, Danso, Lienhart, Mwene; Seiwald, Schmid; Laimer, Baumgartner, Sabitzer; Arnautovic.

Turkey: Mert Günok, Mert Müldür, Merih Demiral, Abdülkerim, Ferdi, İsmail Yüksek, Kaan Ayhan, Orkun Kökçü, Arda Güler, Kenan Yıldız, Barış Alper.

I wouldn't say the Austria vs Turkey match is one that will be boring, this may not be true when it comes to the match. Many people will want to watch this match as much as any round of 16 match, so this should be an interesting match too. Whoever wins will play the Netherlands in the semifinals, maybe Austria, but maybe also Türkiye. In fact, favorite teams don't always win easily and there are times when they lose.

The line up has been posted, Arda Guler enters as the main line up.

Turkey and Austria has been showing exceptionally good game play and both are the rising team in Europe. I'm quite sure the game would be more exciting one than France vs Belgium yesterday.
Romania lost 3-0 against Netherlands and it was expected, Romania is still much farther from Netherlands and it was great for them to qualify for the knockout stage.
Now the winner of today are going to meet on the Quaterfinals. So its Netherlands vs whoever wins in Turkey vs Austria. In my opinion, Turkey would be the winning side and the one who wins on the later game today would win against Netherlands.

LOL.. big match? This one is the most boring match in the round of 16, in all probability. All the other matches involved at least one strong side, but here both the teams are weak. Austria is being favored by most of the sportsbooks, with odds of 19/20, while Turkey is being placed at 15/4. And now it is almost confirmed that the winner of this match will face Netherlands in the quarter-finals. The Dutch looks very dominant against Romania, so it is going to be very tough for either of these teams in the next round.

Netherland records amazing stats in this game. Despite a minor problem happened on its attacking line, but netherlands is still able leading the game through gakpo. And I like how Koeman told the players to dominate the ball possession and slow down the game after set pieces. The main purpose is to let everyone return to their posts, and stop any potential Romanian counter attacks or lucky breakthroughs. Gakpo was scoring hs second goal, but VAR has ruled it out as offside. Gakpo's performance is really helping netherland to crush rumania in this game. In the end, Netherland is winning the game, and we do know how well netherland's statistics in this game.

The strength and depth of the squads of the two teams seems quite balanced in my opinion. This makes it difficult for us to make predictions about the outcome of the match, but Austria appears to be the favorite based on probability. Türkiye should not be underestimated at all because so far this team has had quite a performance to be proud of. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Austria could actually win this match and qualify for the semifinals.

The match between Romania and the Netherlands is still going strong. The Netherlands leads 0-1 over Romania, while the Netherlands looks very dominant. 0-1 is not necessarily safe for the Netherlands because there is still quite a long time remaining in the match, so the Netherlands needs to find 1 more goal to seal their victory and qualify for the semifinals.

I was having strong feeling today we will have something extraordinary from the Netherlands as they are still one of the best team in UEFA even their performance was not good in last game against Austria, but they are still having ability to go through for the semifinal of this event with their quality.
As now, we are heading for the last game of round 16 we are having good matches waiting for us specially Germany vs Spain and England vs Switzerland with the performance of England they are having spot into last 8 is good for them, but now we will have good match against Switzerland which is doing impressive work and no doubt if we have Netherlands in next round they could be easily going for the last four.

Netherlands players are showing great dominance in today's match. Romania's players are not able to create any strong attacking opportunities. However, Romania's players continued to try. Despite several attacks, the defenders of the Netherlands were able to successfully repel each attack.

At the end of 70 minutes, the Netherlands lead 1-0. And 70% ball possession of the match was done by Netherlands players. At the same time, a total of 17 shots have been made by the Netherlands players. On the other hand, Romania's players made only 5 shots. By reviewing the overall situation of the match so far, it can be said that the match will end 1-0 most likely.

The big match is just around the corner. Turkey-Austria will start in 1.30 hours.
Austria is a strong team but Turkey should not be underestimated. I believe Turkey will win tonight. Our young talents will show themselves today.
I hope Montella will field a good squad.

France managed to skip the round with a 1-0 victory against Belgium.Belgium was eliminated here with Jan Vertonghen's own goal.We can say that it is a sad event for Jan Vertonghen.Although France found many positions, they could not evaluate the goal kick.France, who took 19 shots during the match, could only find 2 hits.Belgium was luckier, although it found 2 hits in 5 shots, but France managed to win the match with total pressure.Belgium's empty return from this tournament of course left some question marks.

I was hoping for a close match, but it looks like Netherlands will win easily and enter the quarter-final to play against the winner of the match between Austria and Turkey. This is the only quarter-final match that is yet to be decided. And it will be probably the easiest one. Look at the others, all of them are very tight - Spain vs Germany, Portugal vs France and England vs Switzerland. If Netherlands win this match, they will have a very good chance of qualifying to the semi-finals.

The second half has started at this time and the Netherlands must be aware of the possibility of a resurgence from Romania later, in the first half, the Netherlands was able to dominate the game even though it was so Romania also had many opportunities to trouble the Dutch defense, in the first half I think indeed both teams played quite carefully in order not to concede but it was unlucky for Romania who was careless and finally had to concede in today match,  There is still plenty of time for Romania to return their chances and I think they have to start increasing the intensity of their game in the second half at the moment, actually the Netherlands have a pretty fragile defense if we look at their previous matches, but at the moment Romania have failed to take advantage of that because they do not have a striker who is qualified enough.

I think to be able to keep their chances of qualifying for the last 8, it's time for the Romanian coach to try to make a little change in their attack, because so far I have seen their striker Dragus often miss a lot of chances and lose duels with Dutch defenders, until the 62nd minute, the Netherlands still tried to put pressure on the Romanian defense but many great chances were able to be broken by the Romanian goalkeeper at this time.

It must be admitted that Türkiye will have a very tough match today against Austria, because so far Austria performance has been able to attract attention as winners of Group D with a victory over France. This means that in terms of quality Austria is worth watching out for and for me Türkiye has very little chance of really being able to beat the solid defense that Austria back line has.

Apart from that, Türkiye is definitely different now and in several matches during the group phase they showed progress in a positive direction. I think the last meeting no longer applies to today match. I will not underestimate Türkiye, maybe they have prepared a surprise for Austria.

And to see the current betting odds are 1.91 for Austria and 4.40 for Türkiye.

So far Netherlands are willing after the first half, Romanian started very well but as the game progresses they began to develop cold feet. Gakpo scored the goal for Netherlands. So far the Netherlands are controlling the game as they have more possession of the game. Their defense are not looking like they want to give anything away. Netherlands should have made it 2:0 before the end of the first half if not that Xavi missed a clear chance, I don't know why he was counting his legs before taking the shot. The Romanians are still dangerous as they are pushing to equalize the goal, and they are dangerous on the counter, they should look for a way and convert their chances, when it comes in the second half, if they continue to be wasteful in front of goals they are going to lose this match. At 0:1 the game is still open for the two sides to win.

Both Netherlands and Romania players are playing very carefully today. The Netherlands managed only 2 on target shots in the first half. On the other hand, Romania's players did not make a single shot on target. Both teams are trying to keep their defenses tight. Netherlands lead 1-0 at the end of the first half. And 71% of the ball possession was held by its players in the Netherlands. In the first half we only saw the dominance of the Netherlands.

Even with a 1-0 lead, the Netherlands players must play carefully in the second half. Because the Romanian team is not considered weak. Against Ukraine we saw the dominance of Ukraine players throughout the match. However, Romania won the match 3-0. So the Dutch players have to perform very carefully in the second half as well.

The Romanian team has already conceded a goal, and the Netherlands team is much more aggressive going forward. The way the Dutch team is attacking so strongly, it is certain that they will be more aggressive and score goals after half-time. I think the Netherlands team must attack to qualify for the Euro Cup. The Netherlands currently have most of the possession, but they will beat Romania today to enter the quarter-finals. C. Gakpo has scored a great goal in today's match, he has performed brilliantly in all aspects, today the Netherlands team is in a lot of form to win.
