France were really bad despite winning the match. Even the goal was quite a lucky one as it was an own goal. If France want this trophy they need to perform way better. Because there are already some teams impressing us a lot with their games. Germany for example. They were incredible against Scotland and I just can't wait to watch their next match already. Cheesy

Those good days are way behind for Belgium. Their qualifiers performance was a deception. By the way how did Lukaku waste this 100% goal chance?? Unbelievable...

Today Group F matches are starting:

Turkey - Georgia
Portugal - Czechia

If we don't see any surprise the winners should be like this in my opinion.

Several big teams have not shown significant performance except Germany and Spain who have shown high self-confidence by being able to achieve convincing wins over their opponents. Even though France is very favored, materially their players are far superior to their opponents, but the 1-0 victory through an own goal from the opposing defender is actually not enough to illustrate the strength of Les Blues. However, I will not give a passive assessment because all the teams are just playing their first match.

In a few hours we will wait for the final match of the first round of the group stage. The Portugal versus Czech match will be an interesting match. Cristiano Ronaldo and friends are indeed the favorites, but they still have to be wary of the Czech game which can sometimes cause surprises.
