What a day of football we have ahead. A Spain vs Germany to start with at 18:00 CET. Some of the rivals today are colleagues during the year. Gundogan, Rudiger and Kroos played last season in Spain, meanwhile Dani Olmo and Grimaldo know well the Bundesliga, as they play for Leipzig and Leverkusen.
De la Fuente mentioned he may change one or two players. We will see but perhaps Olmo has some chances as he played well second half in the last 16 round. It is going to be a great match. Football will win.
Three hours later, 21:00 CET, Mbappe´s France will again seek semifinals in a tournament against Portugal. Even though, Cristiano is not at his top level, you can always expect him to do his best. Leão, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha will help him in this quest, without forgetting the round of 16’s hero: Diogo Costa. The only goalkeeper in a Euro cup to save 3 penalties in the same match.
There is a bounty #595010 for this round, and you can participate up to 15:00 CET (13:00 GMT) today.
Good luck to everyone and enjoy the beautiful game!

Well , that was the expectation at the beginning of the tournament. England ,France and Germany as main favourites.
We’ll see tomorrow the squads that go through to SFs.

I doubt on Portugal.. But i am sure on Germany 😂

I think it’s difficult to find a clear favourite between Spain and Germany. Apart from one match in 2020 , when Spain beat Germany 6-0, last few matches have been very tight.
reply
Yesterday, I checked that in the 26 matches between Germany and Spain, there have been 9 draws, 9 German wins (31 goals) and 8 Spanish wins (32 goals). In football, history is what it is, but I give much more importance to the present moment. And in that regard, Spain is in a better position. Germany is not bad and has the home advantage as its main asset. For sure, it will be a very interesting game.

One last thing, that is being discussed over and over in Spain, is that we do not perform well against the host during World Cup and Euro.
reply
I don't think this will affect future results in any way. It's just a statistical fact from the past. As 0x says, history means little in football. The game is almost over and Spain is winning, go go go!
