As the top event in the football world, the European Championship has never lacked fierce competition and unexpected plots. Known as the "Group of Death", Group B brings together four strong teams from Spain, Italy, Croatia and Albania, and their clash is already destined to be full of sparks.
Looking back at Euro 2016 in France, Albania qualified for the main round of the European Championship for the first time in history, which is undoubtedly a glorious history for them. However, their journey against formidable opponents has not been easy.
After the start of the match, Albania faced a strong Swiss squad in the first round of the group stage and eventually lost 0-1. After this loss, the fans on the net started cheering them on.
"Despite the loss, Albania showed resoluteness, and it was not easy to play at this level in the first competition." One fan wrote on social media expressing his approval of the Albanian team's performance.
In the next match, Albania faced the hosts France, and despite their best efforts, they eventually lost 0-2. The result of this match was distressing for the fans, but there were also those who thought that the Albanian team also showed their quality in front of the French team.
"France are the hosts, they are really strong and we are not surprised to lose. But seeing Albania's fighting spirit, I think they will definitely perform better in the future. Another fan replied that he was looking forward to the future of the team.
In the final round of the group stage, Albania faced Romania in a do-or-die match, and they eventually won 1-0. Although they finished third in their group with a 1-2 record and missed out on qualifying for the round of 16, their performance earned widespread praise.
'Albania did really well in the European Championship and although they didn't qualify, they gave us a lot of surprises and hopes. A fan left a message on the team's official social media to express his admiration for the team's performance.
This historic experience not only brought Albanian football more attention on the international stage, but also laid a solid foundation for their future competitive careers. They couldn't move on, but their performance at the Euros, it was memorable.
On the day of the first round of matches, Croatia's performance disappointed the fans. In their matchup with Spain, they lost 0-3, and the scene was unbelievable. After the game, a heated discussion began to circulate on the Internet.
"Oh, Croatia is really no one in this game, and they have been beaten to the ground!" A fan named Mark wrote on social media that he was very disappointed with the team's defeat.
"yes, I'm a little distressed to see their performance." Fan Jack replied that he had been listing Croatia as his dark horse candidate.
At the same time, Albania, although it is an escort team, is not to be outdone. They were tenacious against Italy and were only beaten 2-1 late in the game. This match has also sparked a lot of discussion among fans.
"Seeing the Albanian offensive, it almost caused Italy to suffer a big loss!" Fan Anna commented on Weibo that she was amazed by the Albanian team's performance.
"yes, they have few attacks, but they are all very threatening. With a little more luck, it is entirely possible to equalise. Fan Christine replied that he felt that the victory of the Italian team was not easy to come by.
In the opening game of this European Championship, the performances of the various teams have made it possible to see fierce competition and unpredictable results. For Croatia, they now face a tough situation to qualify, while Albania have shown their persistence and quality in the competition.
Croatia's match against Albania was a key game for them at this European Championship. Soon after the game began, fans were discussing it on the Internet.
"Wow, Albania scored at the start! Croatia is really being pushed into a corner. A fan named Peter commented excitedly in the live broadcast room that he didn't expect Albania to take the lead so quickly.
"Don't panic, it's still early. Croatia should be able to strike back quickly. Peter's friend Michael reassured that he had confidence in the team he was supporting.
Sure enough, Croatia showed a strong fighting spirit. In the 74th minute, they scored the equaliser with a brilliant header, and the fans cheered in unison in front of the screen.
"Great, it came at a good time! There is still hope! Peter posted on social media expressing his excitement.
In the 76th minute, Croatia seized the opportunity again and successfully overtook the score through a quick counter-attack. Fans in attendance and a global audience cheered on their performance.
"That's right! We're going to win this game! Michael threw a row of applause in the group, and he was proud of his team's performance.
However, the twist of fate is always so unexpected. In stoppage time towards the end of the game, the Albanian player scored an own goal to level the score again, and the score was finally set at 2-2.
"Hey, that's too miserable! We're about to win! Peter complained in the group that he was heartbroken by the result.
"Yes, it was a very exciting game, but it was a shame that we won." Michael responded that he was disappointed but still happy with Croatia's performance.
This game full of twists and turns not only caused the fans to be emotionally fluctuating, but also made Croatia's qualification situation even more confusing. They were able to capitalise on their chances of winning despite their excellent performances, which will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for them in the rest of the fixtures.
At the moment, the situation in Croatia looks quite serious. They have only one point to accumulate and have little hope of qualifying.
"Hey, it's a really heart-wrenching point, we look like we're going to have to rely on a draw between Italy and Spain." In the fan base, some people began to discuss the upcoming game schedule.
"yes, but it depends on when the two of them tie to determine the effect." Another fan responded that he had a glimmer of hope for Croatia's prospects of qualifying.
Still, everyone knows that this is very unlikely. Italy and Spain are both formidable opponents, and the outcome of their matches is unpredictable.
'Our best hope is to pray for a draw, otherwise this group will be too difficult to play.' One fan lamented that he was worried about Croatia's prospects.
Even so, the competition for this European Championship is still fierce. Croatia will have to give it their all in their final game and aim for a high-scoring victory to have any chance of miraculously qualifying. All this will be revealed in the next game.
For Croatia, the road ahead is full of difficulties in the upcoming do-or-die battle with Italy. The attacking power they have shown in their first two games is not enough to expect them to be able to overcome their opponents by a large enough score to miraculously qualify.
In this European Championship full of uncertainties and challenges, Croatia's situation is both embarrassing and respectful. They may not have made it to the group stage, but their fighting spirit and fighting spirit deserve the admiration of every fan.
