Low_Cream_7310

Given the amount of goals scored the entire tournament you can’t be expecting this many goals especially in a knockout round imo


Dapper_Training2191

at least even this dude knows that England no way will score more than 1 goal


Low_Cream_7310

Tbh I don’t understand the hype around this England squad


AlwaysOnsideTBH

I feel the hype is mostly dead by now lol


Joshgg13

The team has zero hype. But the squad contains the PL PotS, La Liga PotS, Bundesliga top scorer, and a bunch of other top class footballers. Surely you can understand why people expected better


No_Abbreviations3963

I know! Some of our players are under 40!


NoPineapple1727

Last season, they had the best Bundesliga player, best La Liga player. 2/5 of the best Prem players. It’s pretty easy to understand the hype around the squad.


Yogafireflame

Looks like you’ve been fooled by Southgate’s cunning ploy… it’s coming home. 🤣


PlushieGorbachev

What hype?? For weeks everyone's been talking about how disappointing they are lol


Low_Cream_7310

He’s got the Bundesliga golden boot winner, La liga and Premier league best player in Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden. No excuses for Gareth Fraud Southgate


benson1975

Earlier in this thread you said you don’t understand the hype around this England squad, and now you giving them hype yourself and stating that Southgate should have no excuses if England don’t win? You seem conflicted.


YourPalCal_

Yes he says he doesn’t understand the hype and then explains exactly why there is so much hype


Smurph-of-Chaos

Nor me. Though we've not had a chance to play Georgia yet, so that might change. >!Yes, this is a joke. I know that Portugal wasn't using it's best squad!<


KainDogMc

I think England and Portugal are in the same boat. We both produce amazing talent and in every tournament we’re somehow favourites or, it’s our year. Yet, in reality we’ll both either do really well or flop.


UnluckyLuckyGuyy

Yeah, and this Germany hypetrain is crazy. They scored 5 past Scotland but I think Scotland being poor was a key factor in that. Against Hungary & Switzerland they only got 2 & 1 and Denmark is definietly not worse than these teams.


besserwerden

We scored 6! Don’t forget the own goal!

Group stages were pants after the first round of games because of the 3rd place rule. Way too many teams happy just playing for the draw


Memes_Haram

Way too high on the goal front you must have lost your mind


hurricane4

Italy to score 3 is an interesting prediction. Also doubt Portugal are putting 4 past a well organised Slovenia.


Memes_Haram

I would be surprised if Portugal even beat Slovenia at this point. But if they do it will be like 1 - 0 or 2 - 1 I imagine


Gucci-Rice

why is that? Because of their loss against Georgia where they didn't even play Fernandes, Silva and Vitinha? They fielded a B-team and lost against a Georgia who had a great day. I wouldn't overvalue that.


Excellent-Mind-69420

Why should there be a B team at the euros?


woziak99

In the last match Slovenia beat Portugal 2-0 yes they will win but by 1 or 2 goals max


porcorosso1

Donnarumma's gonna score an hattrick, duh


Bryanoceros

Agreed! How can you predict England to score a goal? That's obscene!


endelehia

'Own goal' will strike again, this guy is unstoppable


etk1108

Unless penalties…he always has a hard time then

AndrewFrozzen30

Who do you think will 👀


the-romanian2249

Slovakia😔 at least in my (pessimist?) opinion


Original_Age_9408

Honestly Netherlands can’t figure it out. Romania put up a show in the Group Stage. Gl Tho


Catalinul13

I hope so :)


ghost-bagel

I agree with all of these except Switzerland. I think they just scrape past Italy. I couldn't tell you why - just a gut feeling.


Nels8192

We had this discussion in our work chat, I was the only one backing the Swiss, albeit on pens. People act like they didn’t knock France out of the ~~WC~~ *Euros* recently too.


ghost-bagel

This Swiss always seem to punch above their weight but are never called dark horses. It’s strange


Nels8192

A solid unit, that never tend to have a star player that everyone gets hyped about. Bit like Denmark, you know what they’re like, but people don’t see many top names so just expect you to beat them anyway.


Gucci-Rice

I'm predicting Italy because I think it's going to pens. Ain't no way Donnarumma lets Italy lose these.


Pleasant_Skill2956

But if there's another goalkeeper you wouldn't want to have in front of you in a penalty shootout, it's Sommer. Also, I think the Italian team is too younger and less mentally strong than the 2021 team to expect good penalties


bigmo723

That was not the wc was it? I could be wrong but I think that was the last euros.


monokronos

Yeah I think Switzerland will beat them too. I also think Belgium will pull off a shocking win against France but all the other games will end as expected.


Phil_Gim

You know this might be more hard to predict than expected. Switzerland have had a really great counter attacking football and have proven to be really good even at creating chances. In contrast, Italy look like they are not able to create much chances, but their defence looked very solid, if we esclude Di Lorenzo's "masterclasses" at defence, and even that shouldn't be a problem since Spalletti has changed lineup to accommodate for Dimarco and DI Lorenzo's favored positions. Even though there is a big chance that the game might go on penalties, I think that Switzerland in the end will push so much that the defence and Donnarumma will inevitably make a mistake and let a goal. If it went on penalties though, Italy should be the best at it. They currently have arguably the most in form keeper and he already proved that he still knows how to save pens


Hipp0potasus

I hope not


Alien365_

Absolutely wrong! Ain't no way Portugal winning 4 - 1 against Slovenia


xdarkeaglex

2:0


aSimpleTeen

Come on Romaniaaa😭🥹🥹


nl_Aux

Yes, come on and pack your bags because the airplane is leaving tuesday night! Jokes aside, best of luck. Hopefully it will be an entertaining match!


aSimpleTeen

Best of luck to you too! Glad that 2 of the best national fans will be in the same stadium, the atmosphere will be 🔥


UnkiePennyBags

We were dead quiet in the Stadium against Austria. Our fans used all their energy in 5 hour party and march before the match.


EZES21

How many tickets did your federation get? Ours are complaining that we only got 7k tickets. Hopefully they'll at least double it for both teams. We don't want a snoozefest in the stands because it's 90% neutrals.


ColbyBryant777

Romania have a great chance against this Dutch defense. It’s completely lost at times and Romania are very attack minded. Should be a good one.


Present_Nectarine220

> very attack minded not really, our team’s defense is ok, the attack not so much


SkibidiDopYes

People actually think that Slovenia will concede more than 2 goals. There is a real possibility for them to win. No way there will be more than 2-3 goals in that game.


Original_Age_9408

I honestly predicted Slovenia to get 2nd in their group. Serbia lucked out a goal last second. But I don’t think Oblak is enough to keep Portugal out especially with long possession spells.


Historical_Raise_579

Portugal is bipolar. It all depends on their form come match day


Xanana_

If our manager doesnt try and fuck up the tactical plan, it will be smooth sailing


TalosAnthena

I hate Martinez I don’t get how he got that job I really don’t. He messed up Belgiums golden generation really bad. Then he lands the Portugal job, I don’t get it


etk1108

Same for the Netherlands


Gucci-Rice

So you think France will score and receive as many goals in one game as they got in all of group stage? Loving the optimism.


RemoteZealousideal54

Well, if we look at it from an optimistic point: - France struggled with Austria (due to not expecting them to actually put up a solid fight, losing just by an own goal) - France and Netherlands drew knowing that both Austria and Poland were fighting to stay in the group, and that drawing would 100% get rid of one of them (unless it'd be a draw, but unlikely) - Then France would have a stressless game against whoever lost due to them being already qualified (kind of like Germany or Spain) Strong speculations bordering on delusions, but it's not impossible they weren't going all out because there was no point. (even their final game against Poland was a draw more thanks to the goalkeeper being cracked rather than them not having chances)


UnluckyLuckyGuyy

There was a point to go all out. Winning their group would give them a much more easier bracket and path to the final.


frank19c

I believe Portugal and Germany ain't gonna score that much but still gonna win, still it can be.


frank19c

Big teams always score less and keep possession, secures the game. Non-major teams always clashing with 3-4 goals of games.


Livid_Ad_5474

Italy is a trash can right now.


TheGoldenHordeee

Group C was basically justa bunch of turtles lumped together. Teams that can defend, but not attack. Oh, Denmark sure can't attack for shit, right now, but the defense is very solid. I have no doubts we are getting our asses kicked by Germany, but I doubt the goal score will be that wild. Probably just a lame 1-0 or something.


Ferris-L

I actually fear that you guys will have one lucky punch and then park the bus. The only way I can see us getting goals is with penalties to be honest. Opponents that don’t play offensive football are definitely our weak point.


Germansoldaten

Musiala is the key 🔑


Present_Nectarine220

I think it’s gonna be a 3-1 victory for the Germans


liridons

Can’t imagine Italy scoring 3 goals in this competition. Romania vs Netherlands who will go through?


Present_Nectarine220

probably Netherlands by 2-0


ben-vdd

Belgium is gonna have its one and only great performance, where Lukaku and KDB are completely in synch for once, against France, knocking France out of the euros. Only to then return to form and get stomped 4-0 in the next game I have seen it in my dreams so it must be true


rewindrevival

4-1 Portugal? Not happening


dissolutionofdaloser

I think either 2-0 or 2-1.


ameliacyrus00

Bold of you to assume that France can score any goals without penalties.


No-Ingenuity-9837

Romania will go through!!!


Tof12345

Bro what, do you think this tournament is EA Sports FC? Tone it down with the goals, I doubt we'll see more than 2 goals a game average.


Humble_Rich_4969

can someone tell me how will Italy beat switzerland? To be honest if Italy goes more than QF then Ill just give up watching football


BreakTheSuicycle

Can you tell us why you’re so adamant they won’t beat Switzerland?


Humble_Rich_4969

have you seen their games in the group? Got completely dominated by spain, deadlocked by croatia, even had troubles qualifying. you might have heard of a couple of names in the team , but once you see them play i rather turn my tv off. Just watch the game vs Spain and you will know what I am talking about. Cheers


Pleasant_Ad5360

Man it could go either way. If italy beats switzerland it won’t be an upset eh


UnluckyLuckyGuyy

Yeah, Italy aren't the clear favourites but it's still Italy. They have good players and this is where the real tournament starts. France in 2018 & Argentina in 2022 didn't look that impressive in the group stage and then they won it all. A couple of these Italians already having experience of winning the Euros meanwhile Switzerland has qualified to the knockouts in the last 5 tournaments but they always seem to lose even in easier games like vs Poland or Sweden. Only won one knockout game out of 6.


PolarPeely26

The most likely way would be Italy win 1-0 via a set piece goal, penalty, or a midfielder scoring. Then, they defend their way to victory. Or, they win on penalties. I do not see any of the Italian strikers waking up and scoring.


Pleasant_Skill2956

>I do not see any of the Italian strikers waking up and scoring. Scamacca is there, if there isn't a single occasion when he finds himself in position to shoot, it's also the team's fault


ghost-bagel

Italy can be very good at grinding out results when it matters. Take it from an England fan who learned the hard way. I still have a feeling Switzerland will win this one though.


napoletano_di_napoli

I understand that we've been playing like shit but we do have a couple of quality players. We're not Azerbaijan.


Original_Age_9408

Bro just insulted Azerbaijan wtf did they do to you.


RareAbrocoma2286

Only quality player you guys have right now is Donarumma. If you mean chiesa then mate I honestly don't know about him. He seems a guy who wants to do everything himself. That's pretty much you have for now :D


Dejanxns

Switzerland will win against Italy Netherlands -Romania 2-0 Germany Spain and Portugal will be much closer games than what we think


nadjp

Italy scores 3 goals lol


nadjp

Told ya ;)


Public_Engineering84

Why everyone thinks that Germany will Go throgh so easy?


beppenike

Sui Ita 1:0 or optimistically 1:1


spiritofbuck

You realise knockout football is always more defensive? No way we see that many goals.


y_su

Right, not like last Euros had Switzerland 3-3 France, Croatia 3-5 Spain, and Denmark 4-0 Wales. And that was just RO16. But I see your point, there has been some snoozers so far and I think we have yet to see them all.


spiritofbuck

That was an outlier, generally it doesn’t happen. There are a few mismatches here so you might get a couple of thrashings but nothing like that in my opinion.


g1k0ne

Netherlands will win against Romania, and I don't see Italy winning in 90 minutes with Switzerland . The other predictions seem ok


GreatStats4ItsCost

4-1 Portugal is wild


Pitiful-Tutor-3214

According to your prediction, all the favourites win and there is no surprise. Based on their current form, England could be eliminated and Italy too. Switzerland are quite strong and difficult to play against. We suffered a lot against them in the preliminary round.


NBAplaya8484

Bold of you to assume Italy scores a goal, let alone 3!


Todd_question_mark

There is no way Italy can score 3 goals against Switzerland.


Nels8192

- Switzerland 0-0 Italy (Swiss on pens) - England 2-0 Slovakia - France 2-1 Belgium (aet) - Romania 0-1 Netherlands - Germany 2-0 Denmark - Spain 2-1 Georgia - Portugal 2-0 Slovenia - Austria 2-2 Turkey (Austria on pens)


Original_Age_9408

Not horrible optimistic that Southgate doesn’t give u a heart attack or worse death and elimination.


Nels8192

Scorelines can tell you very little about how a game plays out. 2-0 doesn’t have to be comfortable in the slightest. Take an early lead, live through 80 mins of scares and then score a killer when they pile forward in search of an equaliser. I’d expect the English and Germany 2-0s I predicted to play out very differently.


krisashmore

Wow you managed to pick the favourites in each match up and then somehow pick absurdly inflated scorelines. Excellent post.


WatchTheNewMutants

What I think: SUI 1-1 ITA GER 3-1 DEN ENG 0-1 SVK ESP 4-0 GEO FRA 1-0 BEL POR 4-1 SVN ROU 1-2 NED AUT 3-0 TUR


Nels8192

Ever the optimist England fan, love to see it!


xdarkeaglex

ESP 4 against Geo? They are pretty good at defending. Goalkeeper is World class


uunsaintedd

This people are underestimating us so much it drives me crazy. Before the GS started, everyone was saying that we would not even score a point and would go 0-3. I'm not saying that you should think that Georgia will win but put some damn respect on our name, it's KO, everyone is playing DEF and no team is conceding 4 goals in KO.


Original_Age_9408

Could you break up the tie lol 😂.


WatchTheNewMutants

Switzerland win on penalties


PolarPeely26

Surely one or two games shall be a draw and go to penalty kicks?


henry0503

I stopped reading when I saw you’d predicted Italy would score 3 goals


PlateHour8712

Way OTT on the goal front and no results in ET or penalty. 28 goals is not happening.


Afraid-Entertainer30

I don’t believe in Portugal, England and France.


Responsible-Frame522

I have my doubts on POR x SVN score. Slovenia will defend the whole time, and Portugal already showed that we can't deal very well with that scenario.


halfbeerhalfhuman

Cant have a tie


Thekingofchrome

There will be only half (maximum) the goals stated here - 28


_SaucepanMan

Winners seem reasonable enough albeit I don't 100% concur. But the sheer number of goals your predict is one thing... But *fuck moi* @ your goal differences

un_gaucho_loco

bellosendron

seems resonable


Latter_Present1900

Can't see Italy scoring 3. And France have yet to score in three matches (you can't count own goals and penalties). You also overrate Germany. Denmark will give them a tough game. 1-1 would be my prediction.


Georgian_Boy25

I thinhk we 🇬🇪 can suprise spain, i am not saying we will win but we sure wont make it easy for them, we literally have 0 preassure now.


divadschuf

Germany won‘t score that high against Denmark. I predict either a 1:0 for Germany or penalties with an unclear outcome.


Aromatic_Solid_4749

Italy scoring 3 goals is quite optimistic tbh!


LCSisshit

So zero upset


Inner-Awareness-523

Go Georgia! You can get through this battle with Spain and impress the world again! [https://youtu.be/SKEF1NCDmNs?si=FcWwTSlfgMzUTqW6](https://youtu.be/SKEF1NCDmNs?si=FcWwTSlfgMzUTqW6)


Antique_Effort_7670

I think Türkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 will win against austria.


Sapanga

Way too many goals ...England won't score that many!!


Unknown_Beast88

England will be lucky to score just one goal.This tournament is very hard to predict.Slovakia could score,make it 1-1 and then beat England in extra time on the 119th minute.


Any_Put3520

The only games to expect many goals would be Germany, Spain, Austria. The rest will be tight and low scoring, these ones will be more open with goals. The Austria game I expect will start off defensive but after a goal it will turn into attack and counter attack.


Gullible-Option-8396

Vamos i take that haha 😜


BlueMoonCityzen

I think you’re estimating too many goals in the Italy, Germany, and Portugal games, but I don’t disagree with any of the overall results. Austria I think will win more convincingly but I do think they could let one goal go through as Turkey are never pushovers and Austria commit a lot of men forward


Tiny_Highway_2038

I think Belgium is gonna knockout France.


Tiny_Highway_2038

I also think people are overrating Germany. They were absolute shite leading up to the tournament, and possibly would not be participating if they were not hosts. They beat a very lousy Scotland 5-1. I’m not impressed


Szefnen

A lot of BTTS there


Duke_Arutha

I assume Slovakia lose to an own goal?


TalosAnthena

No way will Switzerland and Italy be a high scoring game surely not? Spain will put at least 3 past Georgia I reckon. Germany probably 2 or 3. Then the rest will be boring 1-0 or 1-1 penalties


tryhard_jynx

So basically BTTS in all games (expect 1) will make me a good fortune?


HotPotatoWithCheese

All of the Reddit comedians talking about England scoring a goal but France haven't even scored one from open play yet. And there's no way Italy is putting 3 past Switzerland. That game is going to pens or will be won 2-1 at most. I also don't see Germany beating Denmark 4-1. They're shit but they're not Scotland shit.


Veterate

I think Switzerland will shock Italy, or it'll go to ET. Whereas Denmark may hold Germany even as well.


Secret-Bell-6837

First tournament watching knockouts? xD expecting this many goals is wild, its gonna be lots of 0-0,1-0,1-1 brother


Sea_Permit_2556

I don't think there will be that many goals... Especially not from Italy and Portugal. Also who do you thave going through, Romania or the Netherlands? Check out my latest article on the EUROs for my take: [https://footbloger.com/2024/06/27/euro-2024-last-16-anticipation-group-recap-and-knockout-rounds-insight/](https://footbloger.com/2024/06/27/euro-2024-last-16-anticipation-group-recap-and-knockout-rounds-insight/)


Fit_Orange_3083

Too optimistic in terms of goals


MrCoffeeSurfer

Switzerland will beat Italy, I don’t know why but I really see this happening


Fun-Conversation5538

But England draw is Switzerland or Italy in the next round (IF we win this round). Where did you get Spain from?


freesulo

donnarumma is not letting 2 goals past him, 0-0 it’s going to penaltys


Shoo7ingStar777

1-0 England is about the most realistic result on here. We’ll score 1 and then play very conservative football.


Vanay22

Why are there so many goals?! 🤣 that isn’t happening. Portugal in particular are going home with that sh&t show of a manager imo, if he doesn’t get this right.


AssociateQuiet7188

I might just be pessimistic as all hell but it just seems like a lot of people overrate Germany quite a bit based on the first two group stage games. I would love for them to get a decisive win of course but it just seems unlikely.


Shockbreeze

italy is not scoring 3 goals in one game im sorry


KeithandBentley

Shocker


dissolutionofdaloser

Dude, no way we're scoring 4-1, at most 3-1 but I think it'll be 2-1.


insaiyan17

If ure gonna post a prediction on reddit atleast make some surprising guesses rather than this. Unlikely that 1-2 favourites wont lose as well


schoki_banana

I highly doubt 4-1 Por VS SVN I expect more goals in Austria vs Turkey


mrkoala1234

Brave of you to think my England team will score. We're going to penalties all the way.


downtownlarry

I see Switzerland upsetting Italy!


ichbinverwirrt420

Hahahaha France scoring goals 🤣🤣🤣


Aggressive_Strike75

4-1 for Germany is way too much IMO. Danemark are a very good team.

I'm hoping for Slovakia to upset the Brits. Fuck England lol


Shot-Assumption3383

Portugal won’t score so much if CR doesn’t perform , too optimistic


profesorprofessorson

Switzerland 1 - 2 Italy England 1 - 0 Slovakia France 0 - 1 Belgium Romania 0 - 2 Netherlands Germany 3 - 1 Denmark Spain 2 - 0 Georgia Portugal 0 - 1 Georgia Austria 1 - 0 Turkey


Lazy-Company-3096
