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.

San Marino is not a team of professionals. It is a team of waiters, fishermen and factory workers that play recreational football. For me it is stupid that they even have to play these qualifying games, it makes no sense at all.

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.

All the teams of the really small countries are amateurs.I don't know why do they have to play against professional players?No disrespect for the small countries,but why do they have to participate in these tournaments,since they have zero chance of qualifying for a World Cup or Euro Cup?

It does seem like there should be a preliminary stage, where the smaller teams play each other first. Even in a shortened calendar there should be time for this, the preliminary stage could take place at the same time as a major tournament, where the small teams aren't participating in any case.

I don't know how the San Marino players remain motivated. Imagine that you're the best player in San Marino. You break into the international team at age twenty... and then you know that you face a career of maybe 100 international games, where your team loses just about every single one, maybe very occasionally scraping a nil-nil draw. How do you deal with that?

Some dramatic matches happened yesterday as it is often the case on the last matchday of a group stage. Portugal was very unlucky yesterday and it will probably take some time to recover from that last minute shock against serbia. That being said i think serbia deserved to score that goal as they were the better Team, especially in the first half. As others already said, i also think that Portugal will still qualify for the World cup but of course it wont be easy.
After watching both games against Republic of Ireland and Serbia, in my opinion I believe the approach was wrong. Portugal against Ireland played a weaker line up I guess figuring they could still win or at least draw which they did, and that still leaves them top of their group, needing only a draw to go through against Serbia, which didn’t work, so now they face having to qualify through the playoff route.  I would have preferred to load up against Republic of Ireland and win. Then Serbia would have to not just win against Portugal but win be a few goals, which I don’t believe they would have been able to do.
Now they down for the playoffs and with the disappointments on the faces, I think they will not relent this time.

Big success for Serbia.The victory against Portugal was great.Congratulations for the Serbian national team.
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).

I think FIFA should introduce an elimination preminary stage where countries with poor ranking  like San Marino, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Malta, Kazakhstan etc will play each other and get eliminated while the better countries will qualify to play higher ranked countries thus prevent a scenario where a team will lose with a wide goal margins just like San Marino 0 -10 lose against England, France 8 Kazakhstan 0, as well as enabling some players to increase their international goal tallies scoring easy goals against weak opponents, there is a need for readjustment of the fixtures.

I don't know why Engand had to humiliate San Marino with such a defeat.Can't Gareth Southgate just let some younger players play against San Marino and give Harry Kane a break?

I can't imagine a World Cup without Italy.

in those qualifying games it was quite clear that the reign of certain big teams in the past is over, now the teams that were considered small in the past are very strong. I don't think italy would do much at the world playing in that perfect way. maybe it's better that italy stays out of the worlds. Portugal is in the same situation, England and Germany are very comfortable, I even thought that Germany would have the next results, but it surprised me
Portugal now has perfect company, so I find it hard to believe that Italy will have to face the play-offs. In other news, Switzerland has drawn over Italy to qualify for the World Cup 2022 automatically. Don't you think Jorginho is overrated player? Except for penalties, he's totally inconsistent. He missed penalties in multiple matches that cost Italy the play-off.

Good idea for live betting now is Italy to win against Northern Ireland, they are dominating the field and I expect them to score one goal and win.
I don't know who will score but goal is lingering in the air, maybe in 90 minute typical Italian style Smiley
dammit, I also thought the would win but they failed to score, this is the 2nd time, that happens all the time, If a team wins a big tournament, avoid making that the reason you're going to put your bet on them, most of the times you get disappointed, I would recommend to avoid betting I favor of Italy in their next matches,

I can't imagine a World Cup without Italy.

Short memory my friend.
Italy already skipped the World cup 2016 because failed the qualification.  Grin

Even with a victory this evening they were probably out, they lost the direct qualification without being able to beat Switzerland 1 time in 2 games.
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.

Italy and Poland messed up my parlay Switzerland take over the standings with their win 4-0  while Italy is goalless I don't know what happened they wasted a chance
Other matches between San Marino Vs England impressive game with 10 goals no one guessed before because England has definitely qualified

I expected a tough fixture Poland, but what I still can't believe is Italy's failure to win the game, after having their best summer of the last 10 years or there about, Italy are back to being the team they were before then, struggling at every point of the game, honestly they dominated the whole aspect of the game, but it really doesn't matter since they couldn't finish any of their chances and it has cost them their automatic spot in the next world cup.

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.  Grin  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.

Poor San Marino, why would big teams do that bullying to them? Smiley Nine goals already and there is still twenty minutes time. If they pass to two digits that would be something we don't see for a long time. Usually we see scores like this from Germany but now England showed their brutal power. Actually that's the beauty of football. Have no mercy even in an ordinary match. Well done boys, enjoy your big win.
England should be punished for bullying a toddler team Roll Eyes
I do expected something like 5 goals, 6 maybe but 10? why? UEFA and FIFA should find a way to fix this issue, maybe allow weak teams to play with 13 players instead? or find an appropriate tournament for them for the soccer sake Lips sealed
Now Italy made a nice failure and let Switzerland keep the first place without hustle.
Poland losing also vs Hungary was another disappointment..

In the competition of first place in Group C, first halves finished without goals but in second half Switzerland scored four goals and became the new leader. Italy missed a big chance, what a shame for them. They couldn't beat Northern Ireland, they couldn't even play superior. Italy still can pass play-off but it will be stressful for sure. I can't imagine a World Cup without Italy. Switzerland deserved to go though, they are playing pretty good lately. It's not about luck, they work hard, Murat Yakın is managing everything pretty smooth.

this result is a great humiliation:

San Marino 0 - 10 England

Harry Kane scored a lot of goals today, with this good performance, the city will be rushing to have him

Northern Ireland 0 - 0 Italy

So, Italy will have to play in playoff round after draw with Northern Ireland. Italy were better on pitch, but they struggled to create dangerous moments. So, now it's possible that EURO 2020 winners will miss second World Cup in a row.
In other game Switzerland won 4:0 and it's impressive how they dominated game. Actually, they also had 2 goals cancelled after VAR review because of offside.
Poor San Marino. Big losses is common day in their office, but conceding double digit goals don't happen that often. Though, San Marino also had great moment to score, but England goalkeeper saved it.
Poland lost to Hungary, but it's meaningless game for both teams.
Denmark failed to keep their perfect record in qualifiers and lost last game against Scotland.

I'm do happy right now to see Harry Kane putting Goals at the back of the net.
It's 44 minutes, first half of the game and the score line remains 0-6.
San Mario versus England.
Ain't nobody watching ?
Four goals from Harry Kane,one from Harry Maguire Own goal also from Fabrri F.
Am not surprised by the scoreline at all. San Mario is no match with England players. Don't forget that England is playing with the best of premier league players. Am expecting more goals up to 10 before the end of the match. No single attempt was made so far from San Mario. England has taken itself to 26points. Unfortunately, San Mario falls into the hands of England. This is an unforgettable defeat
