The Portuguese stars left the field with a wonderful victory in the Portugal vs Iceland match with a margin of 2-0. Cristiano Ronaldo was in great form but despite not scoring a goal, he performed brilliantly in the match. Portugal had possession of the ball from the beginning to the end of the game due to which Iceland could not attack the opposition much, and they lost at the end of the game. In the European Championship qualification group stage, Portugal is in the first place in the points table, so far Ronaldo's team has completed ten matches without losing a single match. With impressive wins in each of the ten matches that have seen them top the points table, they will surely be in the best position in the European Championship this season.
Portugal has been one of the best European teams through the time of the the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifyers and they rounded up their qualifying games with a victory against Iceland yesterday by beating their visitors by two goals to nil. Cristiano Ronaldo who's been very instrumental to the team's perfect results in the qualifyers failed to score yesterday but provided an assist for one of the two goals. With their current form and performance, Portugal are definitely gonna be one of the favorites to win the European championship next summer
With the squad depth and Ronaldo being in form (not like world Cup where he had too much on his mind), I think Portugal can really win this because in as much that the team are doing excellently, Ronaldo form will also increase their winning mentality.
It is time for Italy to finish this job today.
I'm not Italian but I really want to see Italy in Euro 2024. It is nice to have all big national teams in the biggest tournaments. Italy couldn't reach the last World Cup dramatically as you know. I wouldn't like to see a similar scenario happening again for Euro 2024 this time. They did what they had to do against North Macedonia. It was more like they were having revenge on them on one hand.
After seeing that amazing performance I'm more expectant from Italy against Ukraine. Even one point is enough, yeah. But Italy would play for winning this game as good as possible. I believe that they will do this too.
It was disappointing for Italy not qualifying for the world Cup after just winning the Euro 2020 in which they played exceptionally well and some people would have expected them to win the world Cup because they were the best time in Europe at that time. Let's see how far the defending champion can go in Euro 2024 because as it seems they will likely qualify
