EURO 2024

[Majstor Matt]

Sometimes its just not meant to be.. Still some chances that we finish among best 4 3rd ranked teams but they are in this sphere Im afraid :

[BrandZone_NL]

Some crazy results resulting in one part of the knock-outs for some really lovely matches.

Spain-Georgia
Germany-Denmark

Portugal-Slovenia
France-Belgium
So probably Germany-Spain & Portugal-France as Quarters and then Semi finals. Al those matches could be a final on paper normally.

The other side of the KO is not so beautiful :

Romania-Netherlands
Austria-Turkey

Engeland-Slovakia
Switserland-Italy

Normally it would be Netherlands-Turkey & England-Italy in the quarters.
Turkey is still one of the big outsiders for the finals because they're playing 'home' games with all their fans living in Germany.

[Majstor Matt]

Austria is strong favourites for me against Turkey. Brilliant game plan so far, Ragnick's gegen-pressing really showing its power.

[SSerhatt_NL]

Dont forget Türkiye got a young team, so its possible Türkiye can win, never underistimate a ball. ^^

Netherlands got Romania, Romania is also a strong young team, its possible for the Netherlands to win but they need to play like 10 years ago otherway they will lose like Portugal yesterday.

[BrandZone_NL]

What a matches we've seen so far.

Engeland was so lucky, i felt bad for the Slovakian people. They were so close!
The match between Spain and Georgia yesterday was a joy to watch!

Tonight the big match between France & Belgium. I think the France will knock the Belgiums out. Portugal will have an easy one against Slovenia.
What are your toughts?

@L-R-van-kessel_NL

Belgium vs Slovenia

[BrandZone_NL]

@FeelStrikeX And why do you think that is going to happen?

[bacon man_8]

@L-R-van-kessel_NL England continue to surprise. :))

[Caiu_77]

@L-R-van-kessel_NL probably an easy win for Portugal, maybe CR7 could score 2 or 3 goals against oblak just like he did many times against atleti

hope Belgium wins it but with lack of team play, I don't think that only the individual skills from kdb, Lukaku, Doku.. will save them against France

[DE XRIST]

If Portugal plays like last match, i won't be surprises if Slovenia puts hard on them.....

[BrandZone_NL]

@Caiu_77 It could have been an easy win for Portugal when they scored. CR7 missed some that he scored easely in the past.

The goalkeeper from Portugal was the MotM. Saving all the 3 penaltys during the shoot-out.

France-Belgium was a boring match. Like i said before all the 'big' countries besides Spain and Germany play rubbish. There is no extra effort in those squads. Big difference with the small nations that fight for their life and country.

I still think the final could be Spain/Germany-Turkey.

What are your toughts about tonights matches ?
Romania - Netherlands
Austria - Turkey

[BrandZone_NL]

@DE-XRIST So what do you think?

My predictions :
Spain-Germany 2-1
Portugal-France 1-1 (1-2 in extra time)
England-Switzerland 1-1 (Switzerland wins by penalty)
Netherlands - Turkey 1-2 *But still hope that the Netherlands will win.

[Majstor Matt]

My predictions are:
3 - 1
0 - 1
2 - 0
3 -1

[BrandZone_NL]

@Majstor-Matt I hope that you are right haha.

[Majstor Matt]

@L-R-van-kessel_NL So far 2 for 2, at least in terms of semifinalists.

[BrandZone_NL]

Spain-Germany was a lovely match! This should have been the final.

Portugal-France was like all the other matches of these countries, very boring.

Engeland-Switzerland, have'nt seen a minute of it.

Netherlands-Turkey : A good result and we deserved it.

Semi finals : What are you predictions?

Spain-France 2-0
Netherlands-Engeland 1-1 (overtime penalty shootout..)

[FC Eddie_NL]

Well, in those family poules I have France as winner of EURO 2024, so i go with a 1-0 victory for France against Spain.

The Netherlands will again have a very difficult match, but will prevail and win 2-1 against England. Woutje Weghorst scoring the 2-1 in second halfs injury time.

[DE XRIST]

I' m with Spain today...1-0...
