I was 10 years old when Slovenia first qualified for EUROs, I'm now 34 and it's our 2nd time competing there and it's just unreal. It might take another 20 years before I see them play at a major tournament again so I'll cherish every second I get to see them play! Also right after EURO 2000 the club I played for increased the U10 team from like 15 kids to 60 - this was in a small town where we struggled to have enough kids to fill every game and just that EUROs got so many kids interested to play and some of those went all the way and eventually played for the first team. After what we've done in this EURO I can imagine there will be a new generation of kids signing up for clubs and I love it because that's where our future stars might come from.

I enjoyed watching Slovenia. Sesko has huge potential but the other strikers are decent too, like Mlakar, Sporar, Celar,.. They need to be more efficient in front of goal tho, and create better chances, but at least they try!
We did it baby. Tbilisi and Atlanta are buds. Georgia historically hates Spain (Florida) since Ponce de León.
What about the Panama win upset, that was pretty cool too :)

Portugal are straight up idiotic, 2-5 player rotations would make sense to test the synergy with some main/B players but something like this gives you no further insight for improvement/options and you’re just rotation back with -1 game for the main squad to improve their game play with each other. Thankfully Georgia is good enough to punish that immediately!

I always knew Georgia could do it. They play with such passion and heart, and they got that little bit of skill with Kvartskhelia as well. They've been my favourite dark horse team throughout the Euros and I hope they can beat Spain on Sunday
Georgia has made every rugby world cup since 2003. So that country has had a team in some sport compete at the bigest competition for that sport. Making a major tournament and doing well can be huge for the future of a sport in that country. It can inspire the next generation.
While it's true that a new team debuts in every edition, I regret to inform that we are running out of new teams. My hopes are in Kazakhstan for 2028.

Georgia easily my favourite team to watch at this euros, looking forward to the Spain match
Portugal didn't just suck against Georgia. They only won against Czechia due to a goal that should not have counted (their possession started with a goal kick when it should have been a Czech free kick), Turkey essentially self-destructed. If they hadn't been handed the easiest group of the tournament as well as a third-place knockout opponent (some first place teams have to face second place teams), they'd be toast.

I wouldn't overreact to this game from Portugal's POV but I'm also not picking them vs France in the quarters just like I would've done before the Georgia game
Glad someone is finally speaking on the Ronaldo regression
I think the main issue (mine at least) with teams making the playoffs from the 3rd spot is that when groups consist of 4 teams, the 3rd group round often turns into the 3 teams playing boring football against the team in the 4th spot, no matter how the first 2 games went, cause usually the point gap does leave the chances for qualification for the 4th team, which tries its best, like Georgia (congrats Sakartvelo btw). all in all this makes the group stage into more of a warmup for the big guys, cause in 70-90% of cases the last round would matter for 2 teams at best (3-4 places). the only motivation for the top 2 spots remaining (1) the specific opponent in the knockouts (2) personal preference lol . Making groups larger even if that meant that one or two of them would have different number of participants who can proceed or just diff group sizes would make the variance and uplift motivation for all participants cause there are 5 actors and not 4 for example. what I’m saying is that if there are n teams in a group, allowing n-1 of them to proceed creates this kind of situation, to generalize a bit. which can be solved imo by: either allowing 32 teams into the tournament and following the world cup format. but this kinda invalidates the purpose of qualifiers cause there are 53 countries under UEFA to start with, but either way following the “no more than n-2 proceed with n teams in the group” rule is essential to keeping things interesting in the 3rd round in 2/3 games instead of 1/3 as is with the current hybrid format.
The country of Georgia can also be called Sakartvelo if I am not mistaken.
Sights and sounds??? Zealand you've been watching the College Football Deep Dives?? 👀👀
Ronaldo was fortunate to remain on the pitch, deserved the yellow for dissent and continued to push his luck. Georgia have been a delight.

@@Patrick61804 the qualifying system is dogshit. I would prefer the euros mean something more than win the tournament. You qualify by playing against good teams. Most times you qualify in trash groups vs malta and moldova.
I want to scale the Euros to 28 teams. 7 groups, only the 2 best third place teams out of seven will advance, would make that third place spot a lot more valuable and the group stage a lot higher stakes than it is now.
I've never been this close to Zealand ! FeelsGoodMan.
My take on the Ronaldo situation is that he isn't the problem, but sure as hell isn't the solution, either. As for the number of teams, Portugal qualified twice for the World Cup and once for the Euros before the increase to 32 and 16 teams, the only reason it's a team people are used to seeing is because of the expansion, on the last 4 world cups three were playoff qualifications.
Hopefully you‘ll get to see a couple of coffeeshops 😉

Keep the moustache. Add some chops.
While I agree we played like garbage and didn't deserve to win, I'll say that the ref was very biased. There was a pen after a Georgian player grabbed Ronaldo's shirt.

The European continent is the most talented when it comes to football so it was only logical to expand the Euros and allow more countries to qualify, and this EURO shows that is was the right decision and the newcomers have performed from decent (Albania) to very well (Georgia). However more European countries should be able to qualify for the WorldCup too in my opinion, the raise was too small.
No moustache.

I always feel slightly sorry for America which has decided that it doesn't want to participate in the game that literally everyone else in the world plays. Pure joy seeing Georgia take on Portugal and come out on top, and I'm not even Georgian. Only international football can do this.
make it 8x4 (32) instead of 6x4 (24) teams. more teams can qualify.
one detail that i feel like you should've included, and i am not Portuguese, but the referee was shockingly and blatantly biased towards Georgia

Can we replace our US state georgia with this georgia
That was the absolute worst thing I've seen from Portugal for years, I don't care that we were playing backups, we man's tactic for the game was just put 10 man up the field and vibe it out, there was no plan when going forward or backwards, I don't wanna know what man's doing on training if that's what the team is doing on the field. We were grim vs Czechia, we were good vs turkey but also benefitted from massive frazzling. We're going out to Slovenia
Not sure I agree with your broad argument here tbh - yes it's phenomenal that Georgia are in the R16 but most of your points were about how good it was that they were at the tournament at all (valid). I don't have any time for "in third place you haven't *earned* the knockouts" arrogance, but the fact is that contrary to what you said it makes most games in groups boring. So many Round 2 and 3 games were dead rubbers because both teams knew there was minimal jeopardy or a draw was enough. That's why the current format blows - it makes the groups dull. The sniff test bears this out too - compared to the WC or the AFCON this has been a boring Euros so far.
Georgia winning the euros
u mean the team that got beaten twice by south korea in recent years? its not euros, its just portugal
The Upset That Proves you always wanna play Portugal on last match days of big tournaments.
Yes, Ronaldo should be Fulkrug of Portugal the most. Considering that Ronaldo now is not even on Fulkrug level currently.
I put a curse on Ronaldo as a Romanian. Letting Georgia win is classless
it SHOULD change... the current system is extremly unfair. some group 2nd play vs group 2nd while 1st play also against 2nd. on the other hand some 1st also play vs group 3rd which just isnt fair
The fact that I moved out of The Netherlands a month before TwitchCon is building a bit of regret.
Kind of a meaningless game when Martinez was basically experimenting with mostly B team players- but credit to Georgia for besting the backups, you don't see that everyday. Portugal are fine though, they don't look as sharp as Spain or Germany but they're comfortably the 3rd/4th most in form team.

I bet the Hungarians are fuming though. Having their fate decided by both the group F games. Portugal turned up with their B team and the referee gave every decision to Georgia. Georgia played their socks off so credit to them for that, but the result isn’t a miracle in my eyes. When the ref decides to finish the game in the 60th minute with a terrible penalty decision
Togo not Tonga Z. 😄
Gotta lose the 'stach
qualifying as a 3rd placed team is being rewarded for mediocrity
I don't get whats crazy about that match lol, Portugal was already locked in first (and couldn't miss getting pass the GS because of the broken best 3rd system) and played ther b team at 50% intensity in what for them was essentially a meaningless match and Georgia won it. There's a reason why most matches in the last date were ass or boring ties. Euros should expand, the current system is broken and punish small countries like Ukraine with death groups while bang average NTs gets a free pass.
To me it show why the 3rd round is full bullsh*t macthes, Georgia beating Portugals second team is not worth 3 points. Big team souldn't influence which teams go through by just not giving f*ck, because they are already made the the round of 16. Don't tell my that Croatia and Hungary wouldn't beat Spain or Germany if the ply there second teams.
yeah no fuck that, portugal played their substitues, and now my country fell out, because portugal threw a match, fuck’em.

Have you ever seen Portugal play? it is obvious that Portugal only has big names, but any team with some sort of fire to actually win will beat them easily. They play like the ball is one of those scorching metal balls that had videos trending a couple years ago. They barely support the ball carrier, and they simply don't show any desire to actually be at the tournament
This was great, but you are still wrong about the tournament format.
spain replaces all team with B team and wins easy portugal replaces half team and still send on ronaldo and get smacked xD
Thank you for talking about the success of the national team of Georgia. Now make the video about Austria vs. The Netherlands. I will chase you until you make that video so we both know you finally will do it.
first to watch😂🎉
Obviously, I agree that Ronaldo isn't the player he used to be but Goncalo Ramos is still just so much worse than 39 y/o old Cristiano. The problem is you're comparing current Ronaldo to his prime instead of his replacement, and Cristianos off the ball movement and the runs he makes a far more intelligent and they actually make space for Leao, Bruno and Bernardo. I'm pretty sure he knows hes not the main man anymore.
When a loss would pair Portugal with Slovenia why would they want to win? To play against the Netherlands?
Get rid of the stache.
Georgia v Portugal is probably my favorite match so far.
32 teams discontinue with Euros qualifications every team in nations league A and B is qualified for Euros and C and D fight in Nations league for the remaining slots. this way nations league is interesting and people finally start watching the games (as German i not even watched the German games i don't know who won it and whenever a nations league title is listed anywhere i am feeling like its absolute worthless) this way there are less games for players to fatigue and more in euros where we want to watch them and euros become bigger and cooler and nationsleague wins ...
