On June 19, Beijing time, the first round of Group F of the European Cup ended with two matches, and finally Turkey defeated Georgia 3-1, while Portugal defeated the Czech Republic 2-1. Since then, all 24 teams have made their debut at this European Championship.
Several of these traditional powerhouses also performed differently. Germany and Spain performed strongly; France, England, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal won but were unconvincing, while Belgium, ranked third in the world, "overturned" directly in the first round.
England, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands are in the top eight odds to win the tournament before the start of the European Championships. The final champion of this European Cup will most likely be produced among these 8 teams.
The first hosts, Germany, were in red-hot form in their opening game, beating Scotland 5-1, which was also the biggest victory in the history of the opening game of the European Championship. Along with Germany, Spain were in excellent form, winning 3-0 against Croatia, who finished third in the last World Cup. Spain and Germany were also the strongest teams in the first round.
As England, which is in the first place in the odds to win the championship, the second half was slightly passive in the face of Serbia's early lead, and was almost equalized by the opponent, Kane, Saka, Foden and other "Mr. 100 million" under Southgate's tactical system.
Coincidentally, France, which is the second odds to win the championship, also played a little embarrassed against Austria in the first round, and only relied on a lucky own goal to win. Not only that, but the French team also lost the top card Mbappe in the first game, which is a huge cost.
As for the defending champion Italy and the old powerhouses Netherlands and Portugal, they also experienced a "catastrophe" in the first round, and all three teams were once the first to be scored, and then there was a thrilling reversal, also with a score of 2-1, defeating Albania, Poland and the Czech Republic respectively, and getting 3 points.
Especially Portugal, when Ronaldo's foot feeling was not good, it was not until stoppage time that he relied on the substitute player Conceição to complete the stunner, and the start was quite thrilling.
As for Belgium, ranked third in the world, they continued their poor performance at the World Cup, losing 0-1 to Slovakia, ranked 48th in the world. Belgium, which has a post-"golden generation", basically has no ability to hit the European Cup again.
Of course, the performance of the first round of matches does not determine the final trend of these eight teams in this European Championship. After all, in a big competition, sometimes the "slow-warming" team is more likely to go to the end.
