Team News

Denmark:

Denmark will start their UEFA Euro 2024 journey group-stage match against Slovenia. They are all desperate for a win in this fixture that will take place as both fight for a place in the knockout phase. to secure a precious win, Denmark must depend on their experienced squad that performed well during the qualification stage.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's experience will be vital to the Danish side heading to the Euro tournament. With a solid defense and attacking prowess, Joachim Andersen will take up the right-back position. The key to Denmark’s defensive stability are the organizational skills and aerial dominance of center-back and Captain Simon Kjær.

As for Andreas Christensen, he partners with Kjær as center-back for composure and has a good ball-playing skill set at their back. Like his right-back counterpart, left-back Joakim Mæhle is also known for his attacking prowess and will be expected to provide width and support in the final third.

In the midfield, defensive midfielder Thomas Delaney is an essential figure when it comes to destroying an opposing team’s game using his quickness and anticipation skills. On the other hand, central midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg acts as the link between the defenders and those who are meant to attack by being a player who moves from one penalty area to the other. In addition to this, attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen’s splendid passing ability and accurate set plays may disorganize enemy defenders and create scoring chances.

Coming to the forwards, right wing-forward Andreas Skov Olsen's speed and capability to get into the box are going to be important as he is the one who will make an attack wide drawn from the right flank. Along the left-wing forward Jonas Wind, who is both direct with pace as well as good at dribbling and can pull off defenders that could be far apart to create opportunities for his teammates;

Striker Rasmus Højlund will be conducting the attack and maintaining line-up standards, this young striker has been extremely effective and will serve as Denmark’s major striker leading in terms of goals scored.

A switch between 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 formation usually characterizes the Danish playing system that lays much emphasis on the proper balance between strong defense strategy and dynamic offensive play. This configuration takes care of two things: first, Denmark’s midfield dynamism makes them strong enough to break their opponents’ defensive lines at any time; secondly, two full-backs provide help when necessary at both wings of attack. Kasper Hjulmand, the coach, is known for his flexible tactics where he keeps changing formations and strategies depending on who his side is playing.

Slovenia:

Meeting for the 6th time Slovenia faces Denmark.

Slovenia's crucial player, Jan Oblak is a top-notch goalkeeper because he has an outstanding ability to save shots and control his team’s penalty area. Right back Zan Karničnik is recognized for his defensive stability and his capacity to assist offensive moves which will lead to fending off Denmark’s left-wing threats. In the center of Slovenia's backline, Miha Mevlja has a powerful physique and is a key figure in the air. Jaka Bijol who is used to playing as a midfielder has proven to be a versatile central defense player with good passing skills and tackles as well. Athletically vigorous and relentless, Left Back Petr Stojanović has to maintain a balance between his duties in defense with helping push the attacks of Slovenia.

In the midfield, with his experience and skill in controlling defenders, defensive midfielder Jasmin Kurtić plays an essential role in disrupting the attacks of opponents and starting the forward movements for Slovenia. Central midfielder Sandi Lovrić combines defensive astuteness with a sense of flair in making short passes and long shots, thereby making the defense and attack meet. Attacking midfielder Benjamin Verbič’s ability to see and find room will be crucial to creating chances.

Benjamin Šeško moves quickly and cuts inside a significant threat from the right wing that will cause concern among defenders while Josip Iličić has both great creativity and shot-taking abilities meaning he terrorizes opposition defenders any time he plays for his national team as an attacker; To convert all these great opportunities created during games into successful goal scoring opportunities in football strategy requires accurate finishing skills combined with good positional play, especially inside opponent’s penalty box hence making Andraž Šporar essential for this role in the Slovenian national team.

Coach Matjaz Kek's strategy often involves compact defensive organization and exploiting the speed and creativity of his wingers on the counterattack hence the country typically sets up in a 4-2-3-1 formation concentrating on a solid defense base accompanied by quick transitions; playing with Kurtić and Lovrić screening the defense Slovenia will probably seek to maintain discipline and compactness at the back when playing with Denmark.

    What New Sports Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year?

    From the new penalty rule to Rugby's new kick-off rule, here are some of the most notable changes in sports rules introduced across football, baseball, soccer, cricket, rugby, and more this year.

    What New Sports Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year?

    Sports governing bodies are constantly tweaking the rules of play to enhance competition, player safety, and fan experience. Several major leagues rolled out impactful new regulations for the 2024 season. Let's explore some of the most notable changes in sports rules introduced across football, baseball, soccer, cricket, rugby, and more this year.

    New Kickoff Format in the NFL

    Sports rules: What New Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year? - sportzpoint.com

    The NFL overhauled its kickoff rules for 2024 in an effort to improve safety and boost excitement. Kickoffs now feature a "landing zone" between the receiving team's goal line and 20-yard line. Aside from the kicker, the kicking team lines up 5 yards apart at the receiving team's 40-yard line. They can't move until the ball is caught or hits the ground.

    This setup encourages more returns while reducing high-speed collisions that commonly cause concussions. Additional changes allow creative onside kick attempts in the 4th quarter. So far, the revamped kickoffs have been well-received. Returns are up, injuries are down, and fans are enjoying the intriguing strategic implications.

    Fewer 100-Minute Matches at Euro 2024

    Sports rules: What New Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year? - sportzpoint.com

    Football matches stretching well over 100 minutes due to excessive injury time were commonplace at the 2022 World Cup. But Europe's governing body UEFA took a different approach for its 2024 European Championship tournament. Rather than meticulously adding on every second lost to celebrations and subs, referees focused on restarting play quickly.

    As a result, Euro 2024 matches adhered much closer to 90 minutes on average. Only captains could speak to referees, reducing dissent. VAR explanations were also displayed on stadium screens to improve transparency. While some fans missed the added drama, others appreciated UEFA reining in meandering matches.

    New Pace-of-Play Rules in Major League Baseball

    Sports Rules: New Pace-of-Play Rules in Major League Baseball - sportzpoint.com

    MLB introduced several subtle but impactful rule tweaks for 2024 designed to improve pace-of-play. The pitch timer was reduced from 20 to 18 seconds with runners on base, attempting to claw back some of the time increase observed over the course of last season.

    Mound visits were reduced from 5 to 4 per team. Pitching changes now shave 15 seconds off the between-innings timer. Circumvention tactics like delaying the pitcher's arrival to the mound and meeting the umpire before he places the ball in play are now prohibited.

    While games still averaged nearly 3 hours, these changes represent MLB's continued efforts to combat dead time. Fans have responded positively to the increased flow and action.

    MLB also issued new guidance aimed at reducing unsafe blocking of bases. Players will be called for obstruction if they position themselves to impede a runner's path before receiving the ball. This protects baserunners while encouraging aggressive base-running.

    New Penalty Law in English Football

    Sports Rules: New Penalty Law in English Football - sportzpoint.com

    One of the most discussed rule changes in English football this season regards penalties. IFAB clarified that referees should not automatically show a yellow card to players who commit handball and concede a penalty. This gives referees more flexibility when interpreting intent on handballs.

    The aim is to only caution players for deliberate, tactical fouls. Inadvertent handballs leading to penalties should not draw a booking. This nuanced approach has received praise for balancing fairness and common sense application of the rules. Those who take advantage of a free bet offer from Kwiff and bet on bookings will need to bear this new rule in mind.

    More Points for Drawn Matches in County Cricket

    New Cricket Rules: What New Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year? - sportzpoint.com

    In the 2024 County Championship cricket tournament, a drawn match will now be rewarded with 8 points for each county. This is increased from 5 points for a draw last season. The aim is to better incentivise teams to bat long while still pushing for victory.

    With batting bonus points unchanged, the tweaked draw points system should encourage high-quality pitches and competitive multi-day cricket.

    New Offside Law in Rugby

    New Sports Rules: New Offside Law in Rugby - sportzpoint.com

    World Rugby introduced a law change regarding offside in front of a kicker for 2024. Previously, a player could be deemed onside if the opposing catcher ran 5 meters or passed the ball after fielding a kick. The new law removes these allowances, requiring offside players to actively work to get onside rather than remaining stationary. This should reduce "kick tennis" stalemates and improve flow.

    The key sports leagues are thinking creatively about how to improve their product. It will be fascinating to see what new regulations are tested out across various sports in the years to come. For now, the early returns on this year's crop of rule changes are largely positive. The altered kick-off format, pitch timer adjustments, and base-blocking guidance all seem to be enhancing their respective sports.

    Spain is one of Europe and the World's most supported and successful football-playing nations. Spain has been a member of FIFA since its founding in 1904, even though the Spanish Football Federation was first established in 1909. It is governed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the governing body for football in Spain.

    Several greats have played for Spain and won trophies. They were going through a tough phase as they hadn't won a major trophy since 2013. But, they ended the drought in 2023 after winning the Nations League and became the second national team besides France to win three major titles. Under their new Manager Luis de la Fuente, La Roja are playing attractive football once again and are now set to play the final of the Euro 2024.

    Spain Men's National Football Team's History in Major Tournaments

    The first Spain national football team was made in 1920 to find a team that would represent Spain at the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Belgium. Spain made their debut against Denmark and managed to win that match by a scoreline of 1–0, eventually finishing with the silver medal. Spain qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 1934, defeating Brazil in their first game and losing in a replay to the hosts and eventual champions Italy in the quarter-finals.

    Spain 2008 Euro Champions

    At the 1950 finals in Brazil, they topped their group and then finished in fourth place. Until 2010, this was Spain's highest finish in the FIFA World Cup finals. Spain won its first major international title when it hosted the 1964 European Nations' Cup, defeating the Soviet Union 2–1 in the final at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It was Spain's lone major title for 44 years. 

    In the UEFA Euro 1984, Spain reached the final but they lost the final against France. At UEFA Euro 2008, Spain won all their games in Group D. They faced Italy in the quarter-finals match, which Spain won 4–2 on penalties. They then beat Russia in the semi-finals by 3–0. In the final, Spain defeated Germany 1–0, with Fernando Torres scoring the only goal of the game. This was Spain's first major title since the 1964 European Championship.

    In the 2010 World Cup, Spain advanced to the final for the first time by defeating Germany 1–0. Iniesta scored the only goal in the final against the Dutches. Spain became the third team to win a World Cup outside their continent, and the first European team to do so. They then became the first team to retain the European Championship, winning the final 4–0 against Italy.

    Spain 2012 UEFA Euro 2012 Champion

    Since then Spain have won only one title, the 2023 Nations League by beating Croatia in the Final via penalty shootout. After the 2012 Euro triumph, Spain faced several heartbreaks. They were eliminated from the group stage of the 2014 World Cup. At Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, La Roja reached the last 16 in both tournaments but lost to Italy 2–0 and Russia 4-3 on penalties. In the UEFA Euro 2020, held in 2021, Spain reached the last four of a major tournament for the first time since 2012. But, it didn't end well as they lost to eventual champions Italy by 4–2 on penalties.

    The same year they managed to reach the 2021 UEFA Nations League final but lost to France. In the 2022 World Cup, Spain lost to Morocco 3–0 on penalties in the Round of 16.

    In the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Spain progressed to the Round of 16 after winning all three matches and without conceding a single goal. They beat Georgia in the round of 16 by 4–1. Then they eliminated the hosts Germany in the quarter-finals with a 2–1 win and defeated France in the semi-finals with the same result, qualifying for their fifth European Championships final. La Roja set a new record of 6 consecutive matches undefeated in the European Championships.

    Dani Olmo has been one of the best players of the tournament

    The Euro is one of the biggest platforms for European football players to show their talent. International football tournaments are mostly held before the beginning of a club football season. Players often break down under pressure on the big stage but some of them give their best for their respective nations and attract big money in the summer transfer window. The Euro 2024 is on the verge of conclusion so let's look at the 10 players who can attract big bids in the summer transfer window after Euro 2024.

    Football Transfer News: 10 players to attract big bids after Euro 2024

    Marc Cucurella | Spain

    Marc Cucurella in action

    The Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella is proving every doubters wrong with his consistent sensational performances in the UEFA Euro 2024. La Roja reached the final with a brilliant defensive record, conceding just four times in six games, and keeping two clean sheets. Marc Cucurella deserves a lot of credit and he will be hoping to deliver that in the final too. He was struggling in Chelsea after a big-money move from Brighton but it seems like he has found his form back.

    Marc Guehi | England

    Marc Guehi in action

    Marc Guehi replaced the injured Harry Maguire ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024. There was not much expectation from the Crystal Palace defender but he has been one of the best players for the Three Lions in the Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate's side have been solid at the back and The 23-year-old has been exceptional with John Stones at the back. After those stellar performances, he will expect some big clubs to fight for him in the summer transfer window.

    Fabian Ruiz | Spain

    Fabian Ruiz celebrates his goal

    La Roja are in the final of the UEFA Euro 2024 and they have been the best team in the tournament. One of the reasons behind Spain's brilliant run in the tournament is Fabian Ruiz. De la Fuente has been his biggest supporter of Fabian and the PSG midfielder is ruling the midfield in every game. Of all midfielders at the Euro 2024 to have played over 180 minutes, Fabian ranks seventh for completed dribbles per 90 minutes. With three goals and two assists, he has been one of the best players in this year's tournament.

    Lamine Yamal | Spain

    Lamine Yamal became the youngest goal scorer in the Euros at the age of 16

    "What were you doing when you were 16?" Lamine Yamal is asking this question to everyone with his consistent fiery performances. At 16 years old, Lamine Yamal is the youngest player ever to score a goal at a major international tournament. He is making headlines in every game and will play in the Final of the Euro 2024 with Spain. He is a first-team player who starts every game and then comes up with a perfect performance.

    Yamal is being compared with Lionel Messi already and may lift his first international title much earlier than the Argentine great. He will be wanted by every football club on the planet in the ongoing summer transfer window, but he will likely remain at his boyhood club Barcelona.

    William Saliba | France

    William Saliba in UEFA Euro 2024

    William Saliba performed brilliantly for Arsenal in the 2023-24 season and there were high expectations from Saliba before the beginning of the Euro 2024. He didn't disappoint and stood out as one of the best defenders in the tournament. Les Bleus didn't concede a single goal from open play in the five matches before the semi-final, and lots of credit should go to Saliba.

    France were pretty wasteful in their attack and paid the price by getting knocked out of the competition in the semi-final against Spain. Saliba is likely to remain at Arsenal but his transfer value will surely go up after this stellar season.

    Arda Guler | Turkey

    Arda Guler had a brilliant Euro 2024 campaign with Turkey

    Arda Guler was injured for almost 90% of the last season but the Real Madrid fans got to see some glimpses which were more than impressive. He showed why he was being called the Turkish Messi before arriving in Madrid. He entered the EURO 2024 with a stunning strike from outside the box against Georgia in the first group-stage game, before becoming one of the best players for his nation in the tournament. The 19-year-old led his side to the quarter-final and after this successful campaign, his price will surely go up in the transfer market but will likely remain in Los Blancos.

    Georges Mikautadze | Georgia

    Georges Mikautadze in Euro 2024

    Georges Mikautadze is attracting big clubs from Europe already after a sensational campaign with Georgia in the Euro 2024. He netted three times as Georgia qualified for the Round of 16 in their tournament debut, After a huge 2-0 victory over Portugal, they were able to make it further and lots of credit should go to Mikautadze. The 23-year-old has done remarkable things in the tournament and will expect to sign a big club rather than play in the second division in France.

    Giorgi Mamardashvili | Georgia

    Giorgi Mamardashvili for Georgia in the UEFA Euro 2024

    Giorgi Mamardashvili holds this year's record for most saves in the tournament. Georgia also conceded eight times in just four games at EURO 2024 but Mamardashvili made 29 saves during that time. If it wasn't for him, Georgia could have easily been out of the group stage. He is only 23 and plays for Valencia in the La Liga but it will be hard for the club to stop him from signing up for a European Giant. His saves are almost double the number of his nearest competitor (Netherlands' Bart Verbruggen with 17). He may appear in the UEFA Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament as things are going.

    Diogo Costa | Portugal

    Diogo Costa made some early saves in the Portugal vs France game - sportzpoint.com

    Despite having so many world-class players, Portugal struggled throughout the campaign and got knocked out of the campaign by France in the quarter-final. The only positive from Portugal's campaign was Diogo Costa. He couldn't help Portugal in the penalty shootout of the quarter-final, but his heroics in the round of 16, which saw him save all three of Slovenia's penalties in the shootout, will be fondly remembered for quite some time. Not only that but he pulled off some crucial saves in every game. He currently plays for Porto and is already attracting many big clubs ahead of the upcoming season.

    Dani Olmo | Spain

    Dani Olmo in Euro 2024

    European clubs are already trying to get their hand on Dani Olmo after his magnificent Euro 2024 campaign. He is not only helping his side with his goals and assists but his workrate is unmatchable. The RB Leipzig forward has already scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the Euro 2024 for La Roja. With Rodri and Fabian Ruiz in De la Fuente's midfield, Dani Olmo is flying high. He wasn't the first choice and was coming off the bench earlier in the tournament. But after Pedri's injury, he is starting games and giving his best.

    Team News

    Spain

    Spain will get a huge boost for the final with Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal returning from suspension. They will be starting in place of Nacho Fernandez and Jesus Navas. Nacho and Navas both played with their hearts out against France but Carvajal and Le Normand are the sure starters.

    The reports of Alvaro Morata picking up his second yellow card of the tournament in the 2-1 extra-time win over hosts Germany in the quarter-finals proved false but, Spain were handed an injury scare over Morata. When a security guard slipped and crashed into his knee during the post-match celebrations, it seemed like he had sustained an injury.

    But, De La Fuente said that Morata would be fit and would start the game. Unai Simon has been a wall at the goal and Laporte has also performed consistently throughout the tournament. Olmo is one of the best players in the tournament and he will start with Rodri and Ruiz in the midfield.

    Williams and Yamal who will turn 17 before the final will start in the wing. Yamal became the youngest scorer in the history of the Euros when he scored a sensational goal outside the box against France in the semi-final. He will try to carry on his performance in the final too.

    Lamine Yamal in the practice

    England

    Southgate is relying on a 3-4-2-1 system for England and is expected to do the same against Spain in the Final. Luke Shaw is fit and will try everything to start ahead of Kieran Trippier in the Final. After coming off the bench in the last two games and replacing Trippier at half-time in Dortmund, the Manchester United defender has looked very good.

    Watkins scored the winner in the semi-final and would like to start ahead of Harry Kane but it will most likely not happen. Kane has been a disappointment for much of the tournament despite scoring three goals. He hasn't played his best game so Southgate should think twice before starting him on Monday.

    Manchester United's young talent Kobbie Mainoo is giving nightmares to every opposition midfielder right now. Rodri has already faced Mainoo a couple of times and he knows what the 19-year-old can do. Foden also hasn't impressed the fans but is a big player and is expected to step up. Saka and Rice are having a good tournament and they would like to carry on those performances in the Final. 

    England celebrate after their semi-final victory
