It is a blessing for the fans who sit in front of the TV and computer to watch the European Championship. Because from June 10th to June 22nd, the group stage will be played every day.

But for Huaxia office fans, every day is painful and happy, because except for the games at 21 o'clock in the evening, 0 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the morning of Huaxia time, they can only watch selectively. Rao is like this, some major games can't be watched, which makes them very painful.

Soon after the end of the battle between England and Russia, other groups began to fight on various pitches.

On June 12 at 2 p.m., the first match between Group D "Star and Moon Army" Turkey and "Plaid Army" Croatia will begin.

'There's a team that people overlook and it's a team that has a lot of quality to be the favourites – Croatia. Take a look at their players: Mateo Kovacic, Ivan Rakitic, Luka Modric, Mario Mandzukic, Sam Fosarico, Dalio Srna...... If you look at the list, you will see that this team is very strong, why are Croatia not the favourites? I think they're going to create surprises. Who said that? A well-known coach in the host country, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.

Indeed, in addition to these well-known names pointed out by Professor Wen, the current Croatian team also has a large number of powerful players who play in the five major leagues, such as Ivan Perisic, Tjedevaj, Nikola Kalinic, etc., which can be described as talented and star-studded. What's even more commendable is that the three lines of today's Croatian team are very balanced, and they all have superstars to press, and it is difficult to find obvious loopholes.

In the summer of France 18 years ago, 61-year-old coach Miroslav Blazevic led the Plaid Army, which participated in the World Cup for the first time after independence, to defeat the powerful Dutch team in the final three or four finals and win the third place in the World Cup, shocking the world and becoming the biggest dark horse of the World Cup.

Now, with a new generation of Plaid Legion that is still better than their predecessors 18 years ago, and under the leadership of another 62-year-old veteran coach Ante Chačić, they have reason and the strength to challenge for new heights here.

Arsene Wenger's love for Croatia, I'm afraid, has a reason for his love for Croatia. Because in this team, there are two Croatian internationals who are already part of the Arsenal of Fosariko and Marcelo Brozovic, and there are also young talents of this team, one of the targets is Aaron Halilovic who is not in the Croatian squad, and Professor Wen is looking at 20-year-old talented central defender Jedvac, 20-year-old midfielder Marco Roger, 19-year-old forward Ante Koric and 21-year-old winger Marco Piazza.

The final result of this competition also proves the unique vision of the French professor.

In the 41st minute of the first half, midfielder Luka Modric scored a catapult from nearly 30 meters away, and Croatia won the group stage 1-0.

Looking at the whole game, for example, it does not reflect the performance of both sides, the first half of the two sides were basically evenly matched, but into the second half, Croatia had the upper hand, from the 51st minute of the second half Dario Srna free kick hit the crossbar, to the 81st minute Ivan Perisic's single knife was saved, in half an hour, Croatia missed 6 scoring opportunities and failed to extend the score. Judging from the technical statistics after the game, whether it is possession or the number of shots on goal, Turkey is lagging behind, and even its coach Fatih Trim admitted that Turkey did not play well in the second half, if it were not for the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Volkan Babacan, I am afraid that Croatia will play a big score and seriously hit the team's morale.

In the next two games in Group C, Eastern European powerhouse Poland defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 with Arkadiusz Milik in the 51st minute of the second half, making a good start to the group stage and winning the team's first victory in the European Championship finals. Northern Ireland, who reached the European Championship finals for the first time, unfortunately failed to get the first point in the history of the main match of the European Championship.

As the top favourites to qualify for Group C, the last World Cup champions, the three-time European Cup winners of the world's powerhouse Germany, beat Ukraine from Eastern Europe 2-0, in the first half German talented midfielder Toni Kroos free-kick set up Scottland Mustafi to open the scoring with a header, in the second half of stoppage time, Germany counter-attacked, pie feeder Mesut Ozil assisted Bastian Schweinsteiger who had just come on as a substitute to score the goal that would determine Ukraine's death.

In this game, the striker of the German team is actually Mario Gotze, playing without a striker, from the post-match technical statistics, 68.4% possession, 18 shots on goal, 8 shots on target, 673 passes nearly twice as many as 293 passes of Ukraine, it can be said that the German team has the upper hand in this game, but the German coach Joachim Loew, who has led the team to the European Cup record three times in a row, has been questioned by many experts.

Creating so many scoring opportunities, coupled with the many pie feeders of the pie master Mesut Ozil, against Ukraine, only scored two goals, and the second goal was scored in stoppage time after Ukraine pressed heavily and then counterattacked. The German team clearly lacks a killer who can eat cakes, and many people don't understand why Loew didn't choose the experienced veteran Lucas Podolski or the in-form Mario Gomez in the Turkish Super League Golden Boot for the center forward position.

Since Jürgen Klinsmann left the German national team after the 2006 World Cup, Loew has been in the national team for 10 years.

In the 2008 European Championship, the incomplete German team reached the final, but in the end, the strength was not good, and it lost to Spain, which was at its peak, and was relegated to the runner-up.

In the 2010 World Cup, when the main goalkeeper Robert Enke committed suicide and captain Michael Ballack was seriously injured, Loew reused a number of young players and key players of the national team, such as Mesut Ozil, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos, etc., who also showed excellent form in the World Cup. Loew led the young (average age of around 25) German team to the group stage thrillingly, reaching the semi-finals with a score of 4-1 and 4-0 in the knockout rounds, and once again facing the favourites Spain, the young German team lost 0-1 to the Matadors again and stopped in the semi-finals. Although they failed to reach the final, the young German team showed energy and vigor and persisted in attacking football, earning the respect of the whole world.

At Euro 2012, Germany reached the semi-finals, but lost 2-1 to Italy, who boasted goalkeeper Luigi Buffon and in-form world-class midfielder Andres Pirlo.

Two years later, Loew's German team defeated Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals, creating the largest score in the World Cup semi-finals, and in the extra time of the final, with Gotze's stunner, finally defeated Argentina 1-0, for the fourth time in 24 years, the German team won the World Cup for the fourth time, and in the World Cup championship standings, only behind the five-star Brazil in hand.

With an excellent record, the DFB has renewed Loew's contract to coach the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and hopes that Loew can win the European Championship this summer, leaving behind Spain, who are tied for the most European championships (both three times).

Also with the ambition of winning the European Cup, Spain aims to hit the amazing record of three consecutive European Championship titles, but in the first game of the group stage, it was drawn 0-0 by the Czech Republic, also from Eastern Europe.

Czech goalkeeper Peter Cech was instrumental in the draw against a powerful Spain, and it was his high and low saves that kept the goal intact, making Spain unable to score a point without a world-class striker. As the famous saying goes, football is round, and anything is possible.

The favorite to win the championship planted a heel in the Czech Republic, and broke out a big upset, which suddenly reminded everyone that in world football, there has always been a saying that "there is no weak team in Europe".

In the summer of 1992, an old man who was planning to renovate his kitchen was given last-minute news to replace him and led his team to the European Championship in Sweden, where he finally took home the trophy.

That's right, this is the "Danish fairy tale" of those years.

Twelve years later, in the summer, another ill-fated old man led his team to the European Championship in Portugal without being favored, and finally won the championship trophy home.

That's right, this is the "Greek mythology" of those days.

Now, another 12 years have passed! This summer, when the stage of the European Championship comes to the soil of France, will there be a team with "dark horse nature" to once again laugh at this stage full of miracles and present us with an unforgettable legendary journey?

For the first time in history, the European Championship has been expanded to 24 teams, and because there are four of the best group finishers who can enter the round of 16, plus five teams participating in the main round of the European Championship for the first time: Wales, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Iceland, Albania, the most dark teams actually account for almost half.

In the first European Cup after this expansion, will the dark horse miracle be staged again? Or will the old-school powerhouses continue to monopolize?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a self-proclaimed world third star, explained what a one-man team is, and after a 0-0 deadlock until stoppage time, the 34-year-old fired a heavy free-kick from nearly 30 yards out to break the 10-finger barrier of Ireland goalkeeper Karen Westwood, who had been holding on for 90 minutes, and finally Sweden won the precious three points with a heavy artillery from "Bongxian".
