  1. Costa makes his first save of the match for Portugal in the 30th minute as he blocked Akturkoglu's shot.
  2. What a howler, what an own goal by Turkey! Amateurish! Turkey 0-2 Portugal
  3. Fernandes with an ambitious volley, but it goes wide of the post.
  4. Bernardo Silva whacks the ball into the corner of the net to give Portugal the lead! Turkey 0-1 Portugal
  5. Ronaldo gets on the end of a cross into the area, but his header goes well wide of the Turkish goal.
  6. Cristiano Ronaldo has a shot at goal saved after only around a minute of the match played.
  7. I wasn't too impressed by Portugal in their opening match, but I expect them to win again against Turkey.
  8. Georgia fluff a last minute counter attack as they balloon a shot over the bar. But the Czechs dominated that 2nd half and they even had more dangerous chances in the 1st half. Schick going off injured will be another concern for the Czechs. But it finishes 1-1 and the Georgians will be celebrating their 1st ever point at European Championships. Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic
  9. The Czechs will be kicking themselves if they don't get the 3 points today. They've been the better side and the Georgians don't have the same fitness levels.
  10. It's all the Czech Republic, it's just a matter of if they can score the winner in the remaining minutes.
  11. Jurasek whips in a cross that Chytil's header goes wide of the far post!
  12. Krejci's header from a cross from a corner goes just wide of the far post. The Czechs have the wind in their sail now.
  13. The Czech equalise through Schick! Lingr's header hit the post and Schick was on hand to tap home the rebound! Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic
  14. Schick responds by creating space and having a lovely shot brilliantly saved by Mamardashvili!
  15. Hlozek put the ball in the net and the Czechs think they've scored. But after a long check with VAR by the officials, the goal is not allowed.
  16. A double save by Mamardashvili prevents Georgia from conceding! First Hlozek had a shot at goal, excellently blocked by Mamardashvili's feet, the ball then richocheted around in the area, then Schick had a follow up shot at goal, which was punched away by Mamardashvili. Two big chances for the Czechs. Then a minute later, Hlozek had a lovely header at goal, again excellently saved by Mamardashvili! That's 3 big chances for the Czechs in the opening 4 minutes. Georgia have a lot to thank Mamardashvili for.
  17. I like the Czech starting line-up for this match, compared to the starting line-up against Portugal. Ivan Hasek has gone for a more offensive line-up, bringing in the likes of Hlozek and Cerny. David Jurasek also starts today. They are all quality players who can do a good job to help the Czechs today and maybe create more chances for centre-forward Schick. I expect Georgia to play exactly how they approached their game against Turkey, so this could be another very open game. But I think the Czechs will probably just edge this match today.
  18. Feyenoord's Slovak defender David Hancko is being linked with Liverpool, as well as other clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Aston Villa and West Ham. Liverpool manager Arne Slot knows Hancko well, as he managed him at Feyenoord. Hancko is a tough tackling versatile defender. Hancko was a key player during the 2022/23 season for Feyenoord, in which Feyenoord won the league title. Hancko was also selected in the Eredivisie(Dutch League) team of the season for 2022/23. It's well known that Slot is looking to buy a defender this summer at Liverpool and Hancko could be that player. Hancko also had a good 2023/24 season for Feyenoord, in which the Rotterdam club finished in 2nd place in the Eredivisie, just behind PSV. Feyenoord also won the KNVB Cup(Dutch Cup), this season just finished and Hancko even scored in the semi-final of that competition against Groningen. Hancko has also impressed for Slovakia in their opening 2 matches of Euro 2024. If Liverpool want Hancko, they will have to splash out €35 million in order to buy the Slovak defender, as that is the transfer price that Feyenoord want for him. Feyenoord star tipped for Liverpool transfer and Arne Slot reunion - Mirror Online
  19. The goal is not given! I think that's a very harsh decision.
  20. Xavi Simons has the ball in the net, but the goal is going to be checked.
  21. Kante finds Greizmann free in the area with a lovely pass, but Griezmann's shot is excellently saved by Verbruggen!
