Lets see how it goes, but the fact that we (Turkey) will join from pot 2, as the leader of our group is a great national proud for me. We did play very well, and so far it looks like everything seems to be going great. I understand that we are not dealing with something that will not be easy for us when we are at Euro, that will be harder, and the group stages will be hard and difficult, but the fact that we are participating is enough, rest is just a few games that we need to play well and that's it. I know it might be hard, but I believe that we can take care of it. We are building a very good generation for sure, looking like plenty of great amazing young talents are in this new generation.

The draw for the EURO 2024 will take place on Saturday, December 2nd and it’ll include 4 pots with 6 teams in each , POT 1 will consist of host Germany, England, Portugal, France, Spain and Belgium, POT 2 Will include Hungary, Turkey, Denmark, Albania, Romania and Austria. Scotland, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia and Czech Republic and Netherlan will be in POT 3

Defending Champs Italy, Serbia, Switzerland and 3 others who’ll join through Play Offs will be in Pot 4, I think this Edition of EUROS will be pretty interesting and one to watch out for and in my opinion im rooting for three teams to win the tournament either France, Portugal or England, however France got a more tougher squad amongst those other two.

At the beginning of the match France where handling Greece with kid gloves, unfortunately for them, Greece came well prepared, because they knew they were coming to play against the WORLD CUP runner up, especially recalling the way Gibraltar were brutalized.
2-2 draw was a fair one for me, because Greece deserves a point for their outstanding performance tonight.

In today's game between the Netherlands and Gilbraltar, there were 6 goals and all goals came from the Netherlands, and it is a very sad and humiliating scenario that the players, coach and fans of Gilbraltar went through throughout this qualifying phase. I say this because Gilbraltar in the games he has played has always conceded at least 3 goals, this trend has been in the last 10 games or more, and it is unbelievable that when a team plays it suffers at least 3 goals and in a systematic way, then it went to 4 goals in the last 5 games, even reaching the absurdity of conceding 14 goals in just one game and when I thought that at least in the next game they would make an effort in defense so as not to suffer the same shame, I see that the guys were humiliated again

This time they conceded 6 goals, meaning in just 2 games these guys conceded 20 goals and we're talking about consecutive games. Honestly, a team can be terrible, be a loser, not be able to score goals regularly, but see a team that has conceded at least 3 goals and this is happening in many games, then there is something serious with the players on that team and the coach is not I'm watching or I'm watching but I can't fix it, because at least the players could play in defense and that would avoid defeats with many goals, but for some reason I don't know, this team hasn't focused on defense. I think the most sensible thing would be to fire the coach and then start paying more attention to the players who are called up

The teams for the European Championships have been fixed and the first draw for tickets has taken ladt week, but a few going through to round two. Nobody knows which game they can go to yet, but those who already have a ticket stay save in a german stadion in 7 months. One thing is strange, did you see how Germany played in the last two games? They lost against Turkey, the odds were x6.5 for turkey and they win the game 3:2. Now Germany lost 2:0 against Austria, whats wrong with Germany? Im glad they didnt have to play a qualifier because they maybe not have win it.

Yep, Turkey scored from penalty (that imho didn't exist) that secured them 2nd pot and we are not disappointed by not ending up nthere instead of them as pots 2 and 3 are pretty similar (some would say that 3rd pot has stronger teams).

Pot 2: Turkey, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Albania, Denmark
Pot 3: Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia


There are 3 open spots for Euro as 4 best team from each of the leagues (A, B and C) that didn't qualify will go into playoff.


I think that you have a very good chance to end up in Germany next year if you continue to play like you did during this qualifications and I would definitely like to see you there!

Croatia head to another competition with the victory over Armenia to join Turkey who did not allow Wales have the victory. I think Wales scored too early and did not have what it takes to defend the goal because Turkey consistently maintained the pressure on the wales defense that it led to a penalty. Sad day for Wales, they were close, and that is all they can have from history. Gilbratar who suffered a massive 14 goal loss against France suffer a big defeat also against Netherlands who scored an early goal, and almost a goal every other ten  minutes of that game.

Wow Greece really surpassed expectations by leading France to a tie.
Both teams played well but it's surely a surprise for Greece to not lose to a so far unbeaten France.
Sadly this doesn't mean much for Greece, the country was bound to finish third in the group and therefore be lead to play-offs for a potential qualification.
Who knows, Greece showing some strength now would probably boost confidence in the playoffs. But it's not going to be particularly easy.

My bad, posted out of my memory without actually looking at the table. Anyway, none part of Wales plan didn't worked. They didn't managed to beat Turkey and game ended 1:1 and they didn't got positive result from Croatia.
There is still 4 open spots in EURO and it will be taken through Nation League playoffs in March.

Wales-Türkiye game is currently 1-1, if it ends like this we will finish as leaders.
We will qualify from the 2nd bag, let's see which countries we will be paired with.

Greece-France drew 2-2, this result means nothing for France. They finished top of the group.

Ordinarily you would expect from dominate from the first minute of the game to the very end but it seems the Greeks came prepared to show the world cup runner  up that they (the Greeks) can pull some stunts in this match as the score line may not be what you all expected tonight. Talking Wales and Turkey I think it's not over yet because you can't write off the Turks until the referee says it's over, they can come back even in the last minute of the game.

We can't expect any surprises in this match that Croatia is not playing at home. They will most probably win and they already led at half time. Besides that, we can see that they are playing in a dominant way and trying to score goals. As for Turkey, 1 point from here will be enough to be the leader. It's a tough away and they played very well when they beat Germany in a friendly 3 days ago. Here they will want to score a goal in the second half and at worst draw the match. If Wales wanted to get out of the group, they had to avoid losing points against Armenia. Their loss of points helped Croatia.

Yeah, we are not surprised because France is a candidate to win in every tournament, they have a complete squad in all areas and Greece was not an equal opponent, currently the score is 1-1 but yeah maybe France will end the match with one more goal. I also noticed that Wales were leading by 1 goal for a while they need a win to guarantee a place in the next stage, but it's not over yet, Türkiye can do something before the match ends especially now that they are dominating the match so it is very possible for the two teams to draw.

Edit: Türkiye actually equalized the score in the 70th minute meaning Wales have to go through the play offs to get a place there, based on the schedule Finland is their next opponent clearly this is a challenge for Wales because Finland has been playing well recently, I think Finland's chances are bigger than Wales but yeah, let's see who is the luckiest.

I am not so sure that its in Turkey's interest to beat Wales tonight (or draw) because in that case they will end up in 2nd pot which is objectively weaker than 3rd pot where they are now if situation in both of these games remain the same. Therefore, I am rooting for Turkey get at least draw tonight so we end up in the 3rd pot.


Its true that we dominated, but few minutes before Budimir finally scored Armenia had the best chance in the game and could have easily scored if their attacker had a little bit more composure. We need at least one more goal as soon as possible and then I may feel a little bit calmer.

According to the current results, Turkey will finish 2nd and Croatia will finish as the group leader, but I doubt that Turkey will give up the lead. They will want to increase the pressure in the second half and at least a draw here will guarantee them to leave the group as leaders. Turkey is not playing badly at the moment but I think we will see a different game setup in the second half. Croatia managed to take the psychological advantage by taking the lead before the end of the first half. Turkey had 2 substitutions before the end of the first half and I expect these players to contribute more in the second half and try to concentrate more on the offensive line.

                                        Greece vs France

After beating Gibraltar 14 goals to nil, one would think that Greece would be their next prey tonight but thats not the case here, as France was only lucky to get only but 1 goal past Greece in the first half of this match. Though without skipper kylian Mbappe upfront but they still look deadly in front with Kolomuani, Usman Dembele and Antoine Griezman keeping the Greek defence busy all through the first half.

Croatia will win the match against Armenia. They really dominate the whole first half and Armenia can't do anything. About Wales and Turkey I am not sure that Turkey will win. The statistics of the first half shows the superiority of Wales. Everyone needs only a win here.

It is looking good for Croatia now as they are leading themselves and this means they could still overtake Turkey since they won the first and second leg combined against them. But I think Turkey will try to prevent that from happening because it can have consequences for the next round I think. Normally I believe Turkey should be able to beat Wales, but Wals is hanging in as they are still hoping for a wonder to happen and Croatia not to win the game, but I doubt it.

Today, if I am not mistaken, the last matches of the groups will be played and the group stage will be completed. Our representative Turkey is currently 1-0 down against Wales but I don't expect them to lose this match. If the matches are completed with these results, I think Wales will leave the group instead of Croatia. Croatia, on the other hand, has not been able to find a goal yet despite playing a dominant game against Armenia. If the first half ends with these results, it will make the teams more stressed in the second half and force them to make more mistakes.

Not really. For Wales to secure 2nd position they need to win against Turkey and for Croatia not to beat Armenia so their chances are better than you thought.

By the way, Wales already has 1:0, while Croatia vs Armenia is still 0:0. We are dominating as Armenia basically parked the bus but it won't be an easy game for us.
