At home in Group C, North Macedonia face an England side looking to secure their third win of the qualifiers. The home team has dropped out of the running for a place at Euro 2024. England have already secured their qualification, sitting top of the points table with six wins and one draw from seven matches. North Macedonia have won just two of seven matches and are fourth in their Euro qualifying group. Meanwhile, North Macedonia lost 5-2 to Italy in the last match. The home team are not in good form, losing 7-0 to England in June but they will look to upset England. England are still unbeaten in Euro 2024 qualifiers. However, England can beat North Macedonia 4-1 in this match and collect full three points.

There are some good matches today, but I think Ukraine vs Italy could be the best match. Because these two teams are competing for the second place in the group. Ukraine beat Malta and North Macedonia in their last two matches. On the other hand, Italy beat North Macedonia 5-2 in their last match in the group. In fact, the Italians are the favorites for this match by many. But I want Ukraine to win this match because I have sympathy for Ukraine, because they are taking part in sports organizations despite being in very difficult conditions. And in despite of all this, they are showing very successful performances.

Very much looking forward to the Ukraine vs Italy game... So far Italy has been lucky and they managed to beat North Macedonia... But Ukraine is playing better and I'm not sure that Italy will win easily... Especially since Italy conceded two goals in the last match...

Lukaku scored many goals for his teams from clubs to national team but he usually fails to shine in big matches. It is like his destiny that in big matches and at important moments, he wasted great chances to score winning goals for his teams or even played as a defender for opponent teams.

No doubt about Lukaku's ambition, professional and his ability but his failed performances in big matches is a biggest reason why people underrate Lukaku. After the era of Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lewandowski, Klose, Ronaldo, it seems Lukaku is a best striker before two young super stars Mbappe and Haaland appeared in global football.

The appearances of those talented young players drag Lukaku farther from spot lights on social media but he does not care. He is still professionally training, playing and contributing best for his teams.

Lukaku is a top striker and surprisingly has same or close goal tally with Harry Kane but the thing of worry for Lukaku is that he goes off in big matches and struggles when the spotlight is on him to shoulder his team, Lukaku was realla fierce force to watch while he was still young but what went wrong? Did he let the praises get into his head or is it because he got too big??

Players usually have their off and on seasons and I've watched Lukaku for sometime now and I'd say he's beginning to get his act together. I remember when he began encountering challenges when he was at Chelsea that resulted in him often being benched and it really dampened his morale to the point that when he got shipped to Inter he lost confidence but good thing they exercised patience with him. Now he's a firebrand at Roma and yesterday's game just went to show how much of a deadly striker he can be. Another advantage he's got going for him is his size. Some players will be slowed down by just that and will not be able to be as fast paced as he is, but to him that all adds to his portfolio and he uses it well. For me, he was the star of yesterday's game.

Well I think it’s probably not late because we’ve got very few key strikers in Europe, Lukaku who probably has about 3-4 years to play can still prove his worth and get his name back on the lips of football fans, he still contributed immensely for his team but it would be great to see him headline big matches and save his name.

Glory To Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
three fights for spots today:
Ukraine vs Italy
Czech vs Moldova
Slovenia vs Kazakhstan
basically, who win gets the spot, and draw would suit home teams (Czech and Slovenia) and Italy

Despite the fact that Italy has not been in the best shape in recent years, they are still the same dangerous team that plays very good football and they may not have as reliable a defense as they used to have, but they know how to achieve the desired result . Statistics speak in their favor, Ukraine has never defeated Italy, the best result that Ukraine could count on in the match with Italy was a draw, and this will not be enough to reach the playoffs.

Wow, I don't think I have actually seen it one-sided match like this for quite some time now. Of course, everyone expected France to actually dominate and destroy the opponent. An opponent that a lot of people even have not heard the name of. But I don't think anybody actually expected the final score to be 14–0. That was just straight-up disrespect. And the other thing which was also incredible is that the opponent did not have a single shot the whole match. They literally did not have a single shot toward the opponent's goalpost, let alone having a shot on target.
Although they're used to receive many losses, but after this match it will give a tough lesson for the Gibraltar's goalkeeper. Many people said it's a disrespect to win big huge margins when you're aware if there's no way you will lose, but I don't see there's a France's player mocking Gibraltar after make a score.

They're not disrespect, they're just do what their job.

Portugal finished the group with 10/10. I don't think anyone expected such a result from them, but I think it's safe to say that they had a really good group stage. Today they won 2-0 against Iceland in the last match and managed to score 36 goals in 10 matches. They conceded a total of 2 goals in all these matches. We can say it is a good statistic.
Slovakia, on the other hand, won 2-1 against Bosnia-Herzegovina after falling behind 1-0 and finished 2nd in the group. Maybe we could have seen a different result if Gojkovic had not been red carded.
Luxembourg, on the other hand, managed to defeat the easiest team of the group even though they were red carded early. In the 5th minute Sinani was red carded and left his team down to 10 men very early on. The away team did not give up and won the match with a single goal. Liechtenstein thus lost 10 out of 10 matches.
The Portuguese national team's performance in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifyers is unarguably the best performance by any European nation that competed in the qualifying series of the European championship.
Since Roberto Martinez took over the managerial position of the country, he's significantly improved their general performance. His relationship with the skipper Cristiano Ronaldo I think has also been another factor that's made his reign as the national team manager a success. He'll have to prove himself more when they play in the European championship next summer
Portugal's squad is very good, their technical capacity is very high. The only problematic part of the team is Ronaldo. If they get a net 9 instead of Ronaldo, they can be favourites. By the way, this is a team that can't pass vertically at all. They just cross ball from left or right. Their tactic is simple, to score a header with a cross ball. Ronaldo was one of the best players who can score with a header, so it worked. 9 games, 10 goals, 2 assists in the last qualifiers. He'll be 39 in 3 months. This is very very impressive.

Lukaku is underrated when he plays in the international competition. I don't know why people keep call him lakaka despite his performance that is not that bad overall. Im thinking about he shall get another chance.

This is why i don't even mocking him like what others did. Lukaku is underrated striker. This guy is still having potential even though he is not young anymore.

he was scoring a lot against zerbaijan.
It is clear that those who called him lakaka are not very smart people and that's putting it mildly. Lukaku has always been a great forward, he scores a lot, he is dimensional and at the same time incredibly technical for his size and can score from almost any position and with his feet and head and on the point of attack Lukaku is deadly.

All his problems were related to his character, judging by the description in the press, he is a very interesting person, speaks several foreign languages, he is not seen in scandals in nightclubs before the game. In general Lukaku is a Catholic, who does not touch alcohol and apparently quite difficult to relate to criticism in his address and is often offended by it, but those who can find an approach to him, such as Jose Mourinho, Lukaku opens up fully, scores a lot and often.

Montenegro would have qualified if Serbia had lost to Bulgaria and Montenegro had beaten the Hungarians, but in case of a draw between Serbia and Bulgaria Montenegro had no chance because of the worse ratio with the Serbs in head-to-head meetings, but the fact that Serbia gave Montenegro a chance at all should alarm Serbia, because the strongest teams, who rarely forgive mistakes, will go on to the next round

agree, Montenegro needed Serbia to lose to qualify, but they also need to win against Hungary
obviously neither happened, but Serbia performance against Bulgaria is really lousy, and can't be explained even with different stadium where the game was played, Bulgaria was way better in second half

Lukaku scoring 4 goals was indeed something special, Belgium already qualified and fast goal opened Azerbeijan, allowing home team to score a lot

Ukraine and Italy are going to face a do or die match today in Group C. Today's match will decide who is going to the UEFA Euro 2024 knockout stage. Italy are second in Group C and Ukraine are third on equal points due to goal difference. In the last match, Italy beat Ukraine 2-1. Italy have never lost to Ukraine, claiming seven wins and two draws in nine previous appearances. Italy put themselves back in contention in Group C with a 5-2 win over North Macedonia last time out in the qualifiers. Ukraine won 3-1 against Malta in their previous qualifier. Either Italy or Ukraine have a chance in the play-offs where the two teams are very tough opponents.
If Ukraine cannot perform a miracle, the Italians will skip the tour. Even a draw doesn't work for Ukraine. Their only chance is to win. 2 out of 3 results favor Italy. Also, Italy has a very strong squad and if Ukraine wants to get 3 points from them, they have to play flawlessly and flawlessly. If Mudyrk plays in this match, Ukrainians expect a top-level performance from him. It looks like it will be a good match.

Is all about Lukaku at the moment, he still has more years to play and if he continues with last night form I believe he'll get more goals and probably surpass Cristiano Ronaldo that if Lukaku keeps scoring, ones he gets to 100 goals I feel that would boost his morale to get more goals.
Belgium national team are just doing very fine both in the attack, that alone will make Lukaku to be one of the deadliest attacker in Europe, he'll be competing with the likes of Harry Kane maybe Ronaldo and the rest, and these names they call him (Lukaku) would stop, you would only hear praises. Let the tournament get started for Lukaku to show what he's made of.

Gibraltar and San Marino are clear outsiders of this selection, if Andorra or Liechtenstein, at least sometimes score and even take points from other teams, then why include in the selection such teams as Gibraltar I do not understand.

Hehe, its a competitions among the EU countries and they located in EU so they have the rights to join it.
FIFA/UEFA cant banned Gibraltar, San Marino or other weak teams because they are "not good enough' against other EU teams.
FIFA banned Russia from any international competitions under FIFA, and we knew that is because of the war.
No, it's not. If the reason for exclusion was war, Israel would have been excluded as well, so the reason for Russia's exclusion is different.
If this is a selection for teams spread in Europe, what are Israel and Iceland doing in this selection?

The Hungarian and Serbian national teams have all qualified for Euro 2024. Serbs certainly made everyone nervous when after 1:0 in the first half and complete dominance in shots on goal and shots on goal they managed to concede 2 goals in the second half and almost lost to Bulgaria. The Serbs were lucky that Hungary not only got back on track against Montenegro, but also managed to win and move out of first place in the group.
Hungarian and Serbia national teams group have finished all qualifier match and result standings position Hungarian finish on the first place with 18 and Serbia with 14 points. Montenegro as third teams standings failed qualified to EURO 2024 after defeating by Hungarian 3-1 and actually they have opportunity after Serbian national teams got draw against Bulgaria.

Group G of UEFA Euro qualifier have finished all 8 matches and the qualified teams will prepare their squad for playing in EURO, its so excited in this time many unpredictable national teams will play on EURO such as Romania, Hungary, Austria and unbelievable national team Albania. The latest national team success make Poland have failed for playing in EURO 2024 and we loss chance to see Robert Lewandowski appearance in next EURO edition.
Montenegro would have qualified if Serbia had lost to Bulgaria and Montenegro had beaten the Hungarians, but in case of a draw between Serbia and Bulgaria Montenegro had no chance because of the worse ratio with the Serbs in head-to-head meetings, but the fact that Serbia gave Montenegro a chance at all should alarm Serbia, because the strongest teams, who rarely forgive mistakes, will go on to the next round

This is the last match, it will decide who will be second in the group. A draw is enough for Italy, but I think Italy will win this match.
Maybe I can even bet on Italy today.

Even a draw against Ukraine will be enough for Italy to qualify to the next round. At this point, both the teams have 13 points each, and goal difference is +7 for Italy and +3 for Ukraine. Also, Ukraine is unable to play their matches at home due to the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war, and therefore the match will be played at BayArena in Leverkusen. Therefore although it is a home match for Ukraine, they will not get any sort of advantage from that. So there is only one way Ukraine can qualify for the Euro 2024, and that is in case they win against Italy today.

Just like i said before Italy in the comfortable position because draw result is enough for them to finish at second place under England and automatically qualified to Euro 2024 and after beating North Macedonia with big scores 5-2 i am sure Italy in the good shape and in my opinion although draw result is enough for them but i am sure they still targetting win result from this match and the odds for Italy win looks good to bet @1.82

On the other group Czech also will fight against Moldova and this is important match too for both teams because if want to qualified win result is mandatory for Moldova but for Czech they only required draw result if want go to Euro 2024 and although on the paper Czech is more good than Moldova but recent performance for them is not quite different because whether it Czech or Moldova only can able to collect 1 win from 5 recent matches but as a host Czech indeed the favourite but i don't think they will be able to beat Moldova considering Czech also had a problem with their consistency and for this match draw probably a good pick with odds @5.40
