The Serbian national team failed at Euro 2024. Two draws, one defeat and only one goal scored in three games. Dragan Stojkovic’s team deservedly finished fourth in Group C. The poor result could not help but affect Serbian football. Change began at the top. The vice-president of the Serbian Football Union, Branislav Nedimovic, and the general secretary, Jovan Surbatovic, resigned. National team coach Stojkovic may also lose his job.
The Serbians’ last game at Euro 2024 is indicative:
Serbia is a pain. It is a shame to play a decisive match in the Eurocup like this

England’s two main stars, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, got into a fight in the third round match against Slovenia (0-0). According to the Daily Mail, citing lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman, the midfielder addressed the striker in an obscene manner. According to Freeman, Bellingham shouted: “Hey, really, *****, pass the ball! It’s too late to hold the ball, f***ing pass!” The episode occurred at the end of the first half. Fortunately for the British, the team qualified for the playoffs in first place. England will face Slovakia in the round of 16 on June 30.

The French team made it to the playoffs, but not everything is going well within the team. According to Le Parisien, Antoine Griezmann is not happy with coach Didier Deschamps. According to the source, the footballer was upset by his absence from the starting eleven for the matchday three match against Poland. Griezmann wants to practice matches regularly to stay in good physical and mental shape. Tension arose between Antoine and the coach. It is observed that Deschamps no longer communicates friendly with Griezmann and does not consider him an untouchable starter. Will this conflict affect France’s prospects in the playoffs? In the round of 16, the team will face Belgium on July 1.

The Georgian national team made history: in its first Euro Cup, the team reached the playoffs. The Georgians beat Portugal (2-0) in the third round, which allowed them to reach the round of 16 from third place. The country celebrated the success all night: Tbilisi was loud, partying and bright. And the leader of the Georgian national team, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, did not hide his joy: “This is the best day in the lives of Georgian football fans. We made history; Nobody believed we would do it. Nobody believed we could beat Portugal, but our team is strong in that. If there is even a 1% chance, we can realize it. And we showed it.” Also after the match, the winger received the award for best player of the match and exchanged shirts with his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. A difficult match awaits Georgia in the round of 16 against Spain on June 30 .

The teams of Romania and Slovakia tied in round 3 of the Euro Cup (1-1). Both teams were happy with the tie because it allowed them to advance to the playoffs. Before the game, the media fueled the topic of a possible “agreement” between the teams. For example, this was stated by former Romanian national team player Danut Lupu. But the coach of the Romanian national team, Eduard Yordenescu, denied these rumors. “I think it was obvious that both teams gave their all. Everyone gave 100%. Speaking before a game and throwing mud at the teams, the players, our work and our dignity is a shame. They should have waited and watched the game before judging us. It was embarrassing and unpleasant. They threw this garbage at the team. But not only in her, also in the fans, in everyone else,” said Yordenescu.
Why the 24-team Euro Cup is UEFA’s best solution:
The expansion of the Eurocup to 24 teams is exciting
Tedesco is unhappy with the organization of the Euro Cup

The Belgian team barely made it to the Euro Cup playoffs. In round 3, the team drew with Ukraine (0-0), showing weak football. And the Ukrainians were able to punish Tedesco’s team: only a missed goal separated the Belgians from failure. After the match, the Belgian national team coach said that the organization of the match indirectly influenced the team: “We arrived at the stadium in circumstances that I had never seen before. It took them an hour to arrive from the hotel, accompanied by the police. The road was completely clear, but the speed was reduced to 20-25 km/h. All the traffic lights were red. I had two minutes in the locker room to talk to the players and then I had to interrupt the warm-up. This is amazing, just amazing. Anything can happen here. You can postpone the game by one hour, but you cannot delay it by 15 minutes. Lasers were also pointed at the players’ eyes. But we still made the playoffs, so I’m proud of the players.”
