England beat San Marino 10-0. incredible score. San Marino is a weak team, of course. But professionally conceding 10 goals in an international match must have been a very bad feeling. Scotland beat Denmark 2-0. However, Denmark should have played with a slightly weaker squad as they have won all their previous matches. Poland unexpectedly lost 2-1 at home to Hungary. However, his ranking did not change.
They show no mercy to San Marino as they book their ticket for the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Even though San Marino is a weak team, they should be embarrassed before leaving the pitch without scoring a goal. FIFA needs to do something about all these small countries. The scorelines against these lower-ranked teams are always the same. Still, football is football. Congratulations to England on qualifying; hope they bring the same results to the World Cup in Qatar.

In today's matches I bet on the victories of the national teams of Ukraine and Turkey. Both teams are awaiting difficult away matches, but only victories may will guarantee them play in the play-offs. They will certainly be motivated. The hosts of both matches have no chance of being promoted anymore, but they probably do not intend to make the tasks easier for their opponents. So I am counting on interesting matches.
I have no doubts about Ukraine victory against Bosnia later, because Bosnia is in a bad form. They lost to Finland 1 - 3 and Edin Dzeko did not play in that match.
What I'm worried about is the Montenegro Vs Turkey match, Turkey wants to win this match but if we look at the history of their recent matches, they could hold Turkey to a draw with a score of 2 - 2 and previously they also drew with the Netherlands with the same score.

anyway, Portugal, Italy, what other big team is gonna go to play-off? Netherlands? 👀 all pressure's on norway who need to go on the offence against the dutch. i think it's gonna be a very close game
I think most of the pressure is on the Netherlands. If they need to play the play offs, it is another embarrassing moment for them after missing out on the previous World championship. I placed the same bet on you, it should be an open match and there is some value on BTS.
In fact, Turkey has a chance of leadership, even if it is unlikely. Norway can become the leader if they beat the Netherlands and Turkey beats Montenegro. Of course, match results are important for this. If Norway takes the lead in average difference -there is 1 goal difference between Turkey and Norway- Norway can complete the group leader. Today is a day where Norway, the Netherlands and Turkey have a chance to lead. The most interesting matches of the day will be played.
Group G games are the best to follow for today with Turkey facing Montenegro and Netherlands playing vs Norway which is even a better one.Odds are in favour of Turkey @1.89 vs @3.9 for Montenegro and Netherlands @1.48 vs @6.8 for Norway. According to bookies, Netherlands first and Turkey second?
This shows that the possibilities are strong. They actually think Norway will lose to the Netherlands. They think that even if Turkey loses points, it will come out of the group second. But that's football. We saw yesterday that even favorite teams can come second. Both Italy and Portugal finished second in their group. After these results, I wouldn't be surprised if even Norway and Turkey are in the first two places.

San Marino is not a team of professionals. It is a team of waiters, fishermen and factory workers that play recreational football.
you forgot goat farmers and shoemakers 😂 well, those teams have no problem getting battered in every match, the better teams have no problem getting 3 points for free against teams full of part time dentists, and UEFA and FIFA are more than happy to get some money from those matches (publicity and whatnot), so, we'll keep seeing those crazy scorelines for a very long timeanyway, Portugal, Italy, what other big team is gonna go to play-off?

I really enjoyed the game of Northern Ireland, and it's a shame they couldn't score when Donnarumma made a mistake coming out of the gate! Also, for some reason I had no doubt that Hungary could beat Poland!
Today I think Bosnia and Ukraine will score against each other, as will Wales and Belgium! I don't know why the odds are so high on a Belgium win, but I think I'll take advantage of it!

Japan have only managed to score 4 goals out of 5 matches played in Group B, I felt the performance of Japan is quite disappointing as they seems to face some problems in scoring goals at the moment. I think Japan will face a lot of resistance from Oman when they play this match away from their home stadium today and this game might ends up with a draw.

Such score lines are not a surprise when big teams meet the likes of San Marino and by the way this was just a formalities match as there was no chance of the English team to lose to these guys. I think fifa must introduce a rule if you are beaten by more than 5 goals consecutively then you miss out on the next 5 matches so that you are given more time to train because this is a waste of time to be honest.

Finland played very well against Bosnia and thus deprived them of their chances to leave the group, even if they win today. But even if today Ukraine can beat Bosnia, it will still not give it a guarantee that they will make it to the playoffs. Because will be a match between France and Finland, and for France this match does not solve anything, even if they lose, they will remain in first place, and Finland today will be very motivated to win. I think that France will still want to win, although I repeat once again, Finland has a lot more motivation to win today and they is playing at home.

I don't expect Italy to achieve something big in the World Cup.Usually teams that have won a World Cup or a Euro fail at the next World Cup or Euro.Spain was the only exception(and maybe France in 1998 and 2000).

This is a terrible myth. Italy is the seeded team in Group C, and is predicted to qualify easy, without having to play in the Play-Offs, it turns out that the prediction is wrong, Italy still has to wait for the draw and of course hopes to find an easy opponent on play-off. I don't know what's wrong with Mancini and the Italian players. They were so bad in qualifying this time. If they fail in the play-offs, it will be a bad surprise and add the victim of that myth.
Funny news. I don’t want to discuss gender issues (since this is offtopic and for many people is a hot topic), I’m just wondering how is this even possible - uncertainty? I remember that 20-30 years ago there were scandals with the fact that many adult football players played in the youth teams of Nigeria, but now they cannot appear out of nowhere and information about age and gender can be traced until birth.
Yeah, sorry, it is perhaps slightly off topic, but these games are actually FIFA-governed games for AFC (which Jordan and Iran are members of), which actually determine qualification into FIFA World Cup, albeit for the women's version of the tournament, for which there is, unfortunately, no correct sub-thread for me to add this comment into (or is there and I can't find it?).
The keeper has played for her whole life as a woman, of course, as I'm finding out now. Just funny that a team only challenges the decision AFTER they lose a game. Go Iran!
As a side comment, I have followed women's football recently and they have vastly, vastly improved over the past 5/10 years. Technically speaking, they're quite high quality in some countries, which wasn't the case 10 years ago, based on my admittedly limited observation.
I think it's okay to discuss women's football here. This is one competition, after all.
Yes, I also don’t like the claims that are made after the match, it always looks like an excuse and an attempt to change the result and it doesn’t look fair, because if they got the result they want, then everything would be ok for them.
Okay, 
he sure does look like a man and I honestly don't know what to say. I do not think it's something like that but my eyes are saying something different. And if it is something like that then I wanted how this happened and how this player got so far.

For example, when I look at weightlifters, I cannot understand who is a man and who is a woman

True italy failed to qualify for the world cup in 2018 they were not doing well they lost to sweden in the play offs but this year was a bit shocking since they were doing really well, unbeaten for a long time plus they won the euro but after that they only won one game in the quallifications in their last five.

agree, Italy skipped world cup in Russia, but they were playing poor football then
they played very good football on Euro this year, taking the title in the end, but did not show same quality in Nation leagues final tour, and they are not showing that football in qualifications either, or to put it other way, Switzerland played better, both matches were draws between the two, but Switzerland won all the rest, and Italy failed to win in Northern Ireland
will be difficult in play-offs, there are three places, but Portugal is there as well, so draw could match them before the final
England defeated San Marino by a huge 10-0 result today. Actually it is not a surprising result but it is still really big. England saw this match as an opportunity to improve their morale at a high rate I assume. And they reached their goal obviously. 
Kane and Alexander-Arnold were the stars of the match. Kane scored 4 goals and Alexander-Arnold made 3 assists. They were already comfortable at the 1st place but they wanted to have a good final for the group stage seemingly.
Throughout the match, the English team played quite well and even dominated the match, besides that England managed to create 22 chances, with 13 of them on target, and quite different from San Marino which was only able to create 2 chances with 1 on target. Kane and Alexander-Arnold were the stars of the match. Kane scored 4 goals and Alexander-Arnold made 3 assists. They were already comfortable at the 1st place but they wanted to have a good final for the group stage seemingly.To be honest ,I'm just not too surprised by the results that the English team got, because indeed the opponent they faced was a very weak team and San Marino only ranked 210 and it was clear they were not a commensurate opponent for the English team.

Regarding yesterday's results, the biggest shock is Italy's inability to win against Northern Ireland. They were better and deserved the win, but fair play to Switzerland - they took advantage of the Italians' performance and thrashed Bulgaria to claim the 1st spot. Italy and Portugal in the qualifiers - it will be tough for all the other second placed teams.
Congratulations to Serbia, a truly great performance yesterday. Portugal was terrible, their only shot on the whole game was that goal in the 2nd minute.
Rui Patricio was unlucky with that 1st goal from Tadić and Mitrović scored the winning goal in the near post so he'll take some of the blame for sure, but pointing fingers at him after their performance yesterday would be really wrong.
I'm so glad that this happened, Portugal decided not to play football and simply boringly grind for the result. They were punished for it, but they will still be huge favorites in the qualifiers and we'll probably see them in Qatar.
Honestly the fans pointing fingers at Rui Patricio is totally unaccepted. For God sake the first goal was a deflected shot from Danilo. He even managed to have touched it but it was quick. Talk is cheap, nowadays it is free. Football fans just want to say anything forgetting that football is hard. They had a bad performance and unacceptable but I do respect both Messi and Ronaldo because they have done so much in the world football. When you are a star and your team win all praise goes to you and when your team lose all criticism goes to you. It is sad. I believe Portugal still have a good chance to qualify. It’s not the end of the world.
