France normally should get the win at home but their group is too easy, they don't even have a problem with this draw. Griezmann must be happy to score after his transfer to Atletico. If Jules Kounde didn't see that red card France could easily flip this game but being one man down limited their attacking capacity. France is lucky that Ukraine left two points in Kazakhstan, otherwise things could've been uglier. Now Finland have two missing games but I don't think they can be a threat to France. Bosnia should be happy about that one point, this is the best you can hope for a game in France. They have to beat Kazakhstan in both games if they want to be in conversation for second place.
Finally, we have some national games also. 
France are going to be hosting Bosnia & Herzegovina and they are the absolute favorite of the game. They should be able to destroy Bosnia here. Portugal on the other hand are going to play against Ireland. Ronaldo got an arm injury but it looks like he bounced back. If he plays in this game, Portugal would win this game very easily.

If he plays in this game, Portugal would win this game very easily.Both the games are going to be close and I won't be surprised if an upset occurs with either of them. France is very strong on paper, but they are the same team who couldn't even qualify for the Quarter-finals stage in Euro 2021. And remember all the controversy after the match? The family members of Adrien Rabiot and Paul Pogba insulted each other and fought in public, with Kylian Mbappe's father also joining in later. Same goes for Portugal as well, but at least in their case they lost against the no.1 team in the world.
There isn't much at Bosnia's favour besides the fact french national team will be composed by many first-timer players, as the regular ones are treating injuries, or maybe Deschamps just want to preserve their strength, effort and energy for a stronger opponent ahead.
Well France has a great advantage and they are its stars, nothing else Mbappé is a player who defines any game at any minute, if we add Benzema it is another level, for me France is already safe in the World Cup, just like Italy , I see that this Italian generation has a great team with players who are on another level, of course I miss that Italy with Totti, Maldini, Buffon, Del Piero, the bull Vieri, Inzaghi, those were the players that I admired since my childhood, The rhythm of football has now changed, I see that it is very demanding, its level is very high.
I would like to see Sweden in this World Cup, Sweden in the 1994 World Cup was an example, I would like to see the next World Cup to European countries with that level.
Norway and Netherlands draw but Turkey missed a big chance. Montenegro scored a free kick goal in last minute of extra time and stole 1 point. This is second time in group Turkey blew a 2-0 lead. They had 2-0 in Latvia game and it finished 3-3, now this game they were leading 2-0 but it finished 2-2.
Erling Haaland scored in Norway again, he scores every match. Now Turkey have 8 points, Netherlands, Norway and Montenegro have 7 points, Latvia have 4 points. It's one of the toughest groups and every team have a chance to qualify except low quality small country Gibraltar.

Well Armenia should be doable for Germany. An end tournament without Germany will be very strange. Same we had a few years ago when the Netherlands didn't qualify
Don't think so, what's so special with Germany that the tournament won't be the same without them in the finals? Didn't they lose at last World Cup and it was Croatia vs. France that was fighting?There's a famous Gary Lineker's quote that often rings true, "Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win."
The German national team has won four championship titles, four second-place finishes and four third-place finishes and has been one of the most successful national teams at the FIFA World Cup (source wikipedia). Germans have finished 8th or better (quarterfinals) in 17 out of 19 tournaments which is the most in FIFA World Cup Final history. So yeah, we tend to do OK at the tournament.
The king is back again with 2 goals at the end of the game after missing a penalty.
Now he is even more in the history, the best scorer ever with a national club in the history.

After a missed penalty i was thinking he wont score at all in this match,but thats why he is the best player in history not only did he score but he scored twice and won the game for Portgual. What a player!!! Also on the other hand France is still playing really bad,they cannot beat Bosnia at home.
No more! Portugal played a bad game as a team. Fortunately there is Ronaldo who is super motivated, having signed with Man United (he himself admits that he is super happy about it). Of course, when I missed that penalty, the whole team was confused and couldn't recover. But whoever has Ronaldo, risks winning until the last minute, and that's what happened.

Ronaldo once again that he should never be underestimated, what a win and congratulations to him on his new record...
France are really playing awfully, I don't know if I'd blame the players or the coach himself, they really lack making clear-cut opportunities, and the understanding between the players is not as it should be, perhaps the coach needs to some changes to the team's tactics and approach.

Group D: Kazakhstan vs Ukraine
The game is over, and it was tied at 2 goals!I didn't have the chance to watch the game, but I was surprised to see Ukraine draw with Kazakhstan. I wouldn't bet on this result.
I don't like much these international games, very random.. I prefer CL ones especially.
For tomorrow, Spain vs Sweden appears to be the best game, we have also Italy vs Bulgaria and Hungary - England. How much surprising results we will have?

I had Portugal to win this one but live betting didnt help me, With Ireland taking
the lead and Ronaldo missing a penalty, I added a bet on a draw which was looking
good until the 6th minute in extra time, Ronaldo to score a second time.
Portugal 2 - 1 Ireland
Just about for Portugal but tough luck to Ireland.

What an ending of Portugal - Ireland. Ireland were leading almost whole game, but then Ronaldo show started - he scored headers on 89th and 96th minute. What a way to come into history - now with 111 goals he become highest scoring international player.
Kazakhstan - Ukraine ending was incredible too. Ukraine made score 2:1 on 93th minute, but Kazakhstan managed to equalize score on 96th minute.
Big upset that France didn't managed to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina, Netherlands failed to win in Norway, Turkey ended game with Montenegro 2:2
Also, for the first time ever, VAR was used in all UEFA qualifiers games.

Does anyone have any tips/plays for today's World Cup qualifiers, i'm looking to add a few more tickets...?
There's basically nothing to bet on until leagues resume in around 10 days, so we will have to make the most of those qualifiers, i guess.
Halftime/Fulltime France + Austria @2.10 X
France with pretty much the best lineup they can bring, i just cannot see them not have a comfy lead before the break. Sheriff may have qualified for CL groups but their national team is of very low quality, Austria should have a field day in Moldova.
Norway vs. Netherlands BTTS + Portugal vs. Ireland Handicap Portugal (0:1) @2.65
...matches start in about 45mins, give me your locks!
edit;
^ looking great at half time lol
France 1:1 Bosnia
Portugal 0:1 Ireland
edit2;
Portugal was on the verge of losing to some random Premier League benchwarmers, Ronaldo scored two late goals ftw but also missed a pen.
Live bets saved my day...[1] and [2]

Group D: Kazakhstan vs Ukraine
The game is over, and it was tied at 2 goals!
I didn't have the chance to watch the game, but I was surprised to see Ukraine draw with Kazakhstan. I wouldn't bet on this result.
Was regretting a Kazakh upset when they levelled and started pulling the game away from Ukraine, but 1 goal apiece in injury time took the game to a draw, that was worth 7/1 in live betting though! These Asian teams playing in UEFA zone are really kicking it up a notch! So many tasty upsets left, maybe even a Bosnia handicap? But I'm sticking to my Scotland single for now.
Russia - Croatia should be a decent game for the neutrals today. Both teams opened the qualifications with 2 wins and a loss and occupy the qualifying positions currently.
I hope Croatia goes for the win today, in a few days we play away to Slovakia as well before hosting Slovenia. 3 of the toughest games in the same international window, not much room for error. Most of our players are out of form, but from what I've seen so far - so are the Russians. Could be a high scoring game.
It will be an important game for both teams in order to guarantee their positions in group H. Only a winning is interesting, because Slovakia is close at the third position with serious chances of reaching the top one if they win the next game against Slovenia and if Russia and Croatia tie their match. So Russia and Croatia need to put themselves in offensive position and score at all costs.I hope Croatia goes for the win today, in a few days we play away to Slovakia as well before hosting Slovenia. 3 of the toughest games in the same international window, not much room for error. Most of our players are out of form, but from what I've seen so far - so are the Russians. Could be a high scoring game.
Furthermore, without the star player Modric, the game must be more balanced, giving Russia more chances to beat the adversary. I expect it's going to be an energetic game full of emotions with players putting a lot of effort for their national teams.

I think that in the match Russia - Croatia there will be little goals, there was some break in the matches between the national teams and it may be that the teams will play careful, so I suppose that the game will be cautious and ineffective. It will be interesting for me to watch the match Denmark - Scotland. I liked very much how Denmark performed at the Euro, I hope they will continue to perform as interestingly at the World Cup as well. In this match, I also do not expect many goals, since Scotland very often closes with stronger opponents, and then everything will depend on Denmark.I hope Croatia goes for the win today, in a few days we play away to Slovakia as well before hosting Slovenia. 3 of the toughest games in the same international window, not much room for error.

Yes, Denmark v Scotland will be an interesting game! I think a Denmark win can be added to the express bet... Too obvious a home win for me...
You could also bet on France winning with a handicap (-1.5 or -1) against Bosnia... And you can also add Austria's win against Moldova, also with a handicap (-1)...
