Spain topped the standings due to a convincing win over Cyprus.
Yamal became the first player in this match to make Spain lead 1-0 after 5 minutes of the match. 1-3 final score. Spain tops the standings with 18 points.
Cyprus celebrated their goal more than Spain celebrated their win because they have had a difficult time in this qualification and have hardly scored. Some teams come into games knowing that they will not be able to win, this game for Cyprus is just an example of it. They already knew that it was going to take a lot to stop Spain from scoring, and even more to score against them. They were able to break the Spanish defense and score a goal, but couldn't win the game. Spain top the group and Cyprus remain at the bottom.

Almost all my bets went completely wrong tonight. Maybe Azerbaijan win against Sweden isn't huge upset, but final 3:0, didn't saw this coming.
And Bulgaria taking point from Hungary is big surprise too. They were close from winning it, but Hungary scored goal on 97th minute and 1 point was enough for them to claim ticket to Euro 2024.
Luxembourg leading 2:0 Bosnia and Herzegovina and they dominate game, while Portugal scored just 1 goal vs Liechtenstein after almost 60 minutes. EDIT. While writting this post they got 2nd goal.

Today's games are being very complicated for many teams, for example in the case of Hungary, they played against Bulgaria, in this game Hungary was favorite to win the game, looking at the current position of Bulgaria which is in the last position and that has been performing poorly so on paper it was supposed that Hungary would be able to win the game easily, mainly because Bulgaria hadn't won in the last 5 games, but there is an interesting factor and that is that Bulgaria only had one defeat in the last 5 games and had 4 draws in the last 4 games. so the chances of a draw in this game could also be very high

given the fact that Hungary was also coming off a draw in the last game, so I'm not surprised by this draw, but I'm surprised by everything that happened in that game, it was a troubled game. There were 2 red cards, 1 penalty and an own goal. Hungary came very close to losing in this game, they came out victorious thanks to luck. but this puts them in a situation that does not offer them security. We'll see how the other teams in this group do. In my opinion this is a very unpredictable group

uefa has unveiled the match ball for euro 2024 in germany. its called 'Fussballliebe' (Football Love) - and contains a technology that is being used for the first time at a european championship final.
according to uefa, the ball contains 'connected ball technology', which will be used for the first time at a uefa euro round. the association speaks of the 'unprecedented insights' provided by the technology. the movement and position of the ball will be tracked more precisely, which should also benefit the decision-making processes of the var assistant...
This is the part that I wonder the most, we all remember some balls are not loved by the players all that much, some of them hated some of the balls and it doesn't fit them and not feels natural. So I am thinking, since this is a new thing, will this ball be liked by the players and make them play normally? Or would it be something that would be horrible and make the players hate it and they would all play much worse then they normally play? I am not sure, but by the looks of it the ball will have different feeling without a doubt, it doesn't look like it will be good at all.

I believe that we are going to have some sort of situation that has to be changing like some alternative ball, a normal regular ball, you can paint the outside similar, but have that alternative ready. Why? Because these are not players who like toe b tested and not really hate the ball the yare given, if the ball is terrible and hated by everyone, players could riot about it and ask for a change.

Games that have no goals from the first half to the end of the game is just boring to watch, and this Liechtenstein vs Portugal game is one of those games we expect to see goals coming in from different angles but no it didn't happen.
The first half of the game is quite disappointing to me, because I was expecting to see the visitors (Portugal) dropping like 3-4 goals before heading into half-time but is still goalless.
I hope with the stars that Portugal are having in this fixture it won't end in a draw or 0-2 win, at least Cr7 need to score more goals to increase his goal scoring record.

Yeah, think I made quite a bit predicting their downfall and today the odds for them really appeal to me. As long as I get these kinds of odds with Central Asian teams, I always think it's worth it.

It's not even about team news, it's just the form and value. 1 in 8 times only to win, that has to be an underestimation of Azeri football... or an overestimation of Swedish football.

As far as I have learned from Steve you bet exactly 3 btc on the betslip above. Enjoy the show while watching the Formula 1 race in Las Vegas at the weekend. Cool

The news came before the Wales match that Cengiz Ünder and Hakan Çalhanoğlu were removed from Turkey squad. Especially Hakan's absence will be quite bad for us.

Slovakia vs Iceland
Slovakia are ahead of their closest rival Luxembourg in the head to head. Slovakia can qualify for EURO 2024 with just one draw from their remaining two matches. Calzona's team didn't make a good impression in the early matches, but they have gained a big advantage, especially against their direct rivals. Iceland, who changed their manager in April, have only beaten Liechtenstein and Bosnia and Herzegovina at home under experienced coach Age Hareide.

The first match between the two sides ended 2-1 in favor of Slovakia, with the Norwegian coach expressing his dissatisfaction with the physical state of the team. I expect it will be more difficult for them this time on the road, but they have nothing to lose. Slovakia is a team that can go down during the match. I think Iceland will be dominant and Slovakia will have a comfortable match.
Slovakia sits second in the Group J with 16 points and Portugal tops the group, a draw for Slovakia will see them qualifying for EURO 2024 which, they face Iceland who have been in pretty good form since change of head coach and that’s been something really cool for the team and I believe they could get a win against Slovakia, even though they've  got a home advantage.

 Now Slovakia faces a new Iceland side but they’re lucky they’ll be playing infront of their home fan and gaining or harnessing a point from this match isn’t going to be muc of a big deal for this Slovakia side, Iceland will have the top of stat in this game but trust Slovakia to always control the game and come out top of it at the final whistle.

Spain topped the standings due to a convincing win over Cyprus.
Yamal became the first player in this match to make Spain lead 1-0 after 5 minutes of the match. 1-3 final score. Spain tops the standings with 18 points.

Georgia failed to win over Scotland because in the 90+3 minute, Lawrence Shankland equalized the score at 2-2.
Another surprising result, Sweden lost 3-0 even though Azerbaijan received a red card.

Yamal is a really skilled player. This was his 3rd official national duty and he scored 2 goals already.  Grin  This guy is only 16 years old. I mean this isn't a very common thing to see in football. Limited number of youngsters are able to find chances at this level and perform like this at the same time.

He is quite decent in the La Liga as well. He has already doubled his market value from 25 million euros to 50 million in only 6 months.  Cheesy  I hope to see much more than him after a couple of years. But I wouldn't criticize him strongly if his performance drops sharply these days. It would be too much to ask from a 16-year-old player.

The performance of the Sweden national football squad were quite horrible as they have lost a lot of games in major tournament. They had somehow only managed to win most of their previous games in friendly matches against other teams, I think playing against Azerbaijan today might be a good chance for Sweden players to regain some confidence as it should not be a tough task for Sweden to claim a victory against Azerbaijan at the end of the match.

Congratulations on your win! It was a very risky bet, I probably could not have bet on such an outcome of the game. Although the match between Sweden and Azerbaijan didn't decide anything and maybe that's why the Swedish team didn't play at full strength and they decided to protect themselves from injuries. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan played very confidently and they won deservedly.

You have already received your winnings, congratulations, stoppage time is in progress and Azerbaijan is leading 3-0  Cool
This was undoubtedly a profitable odds, but when I see such results, I always think about the fact that I have to go to the end (sometimes) and bet not just on the underdog winning, but on winning with a handicap of -1 goal. Imagine guessing a handicap game like this. The coefficient was probably 15-20.

Wasnt an expecting such an easy win from Azerbejan. They dominated the entire match even with a red card they score one more goal this shows just how bad Sweden is and a change needs to happen fast. A really good odd on Azerbejan and an easy win. Good single bet.

They got trashed so bad by Azerbaijan with 3 goals and on to pour the salt on the wound, Azerbaijan was playing with 10 players for over 30+minutes only to score their 3rd goal. Sweden is bad obviously but not would have expected them to lose against Azerbaijan. Their statistics were horrible as well, all those goal attempts but they couldnt score a single goal  Roll Eyes

I guess this is it for Sweden huh

I know this isn't a topic about Balotelli, but I would not mention him as a promising player in the sense that he played so well that I thought he could become one cornerstone of the Italian team. This guy had such a shitty control over his attitude, such a bad character that the only thing people were waiting for were not any further important goals for the team, but for the day he would disappear from the soccer stages. If someone has great talent but is so stupid like Balotelli, the person should be avoided like the plague by any team. They destroy more than they create in a team.
He was one of the best finishers, but his character and nervous nature ruined his career. If he had continued with his controlled and hard-working nature, I'm sure he could still be one of the forwards pushing for the top. He still continues to contribute goals to the teams he plays for. He is still a very strong player physically.

You are right that he had strong striking qualities, but it can't be ignored that dedication and the will power to make sacrifices and practice self-control is an integral part of a world class player. Imagine that Ronaldo or Messi would have had the same character problems as Balotelli, there is no chance that any of those two would have ever won a Ballon d'or. A player can't do whatever they want no matter what their talent is and for me bad character destroys good talent. The problem wasn't a rude character, but Balotelli took it so far that he risked the success of the team too many times and not only caused himself to get into trouble.

Interesting things are happening in the Bulgaria - Hungary match now. But in the first half Valentin Antov got a red card from second yellow. Right after that Ilia Gruev's reaction was assessed by the referee like he deserved a red card first. Bulgaria were nearly about to continue with 9 players until VAR intervened. The decision was reversed right after.

With or without that extra red card Bulgaria are still in trouble with 10 players in the second half. I guess Hungary would like to benefit from this situation to take a big step for securing the lead in the group.

Sweden national team during this qualification was really bad and probobly one of the worst qualifactions from them in a long time. This match against Azerbajian is only for confidence because they dont have any chance to go through. Probobly a good match to test some new players and see how they adopt in the team.

Apparently the test is going badly because I see that by the 15th minute Azerbaijan is winning 2-0. But in reality, I understand that it is difficult for players to find motivation for games that no longer decide anything while national championships are in full swing.
But there is a plus in such games - betters can bet against the favorite and hope that the demotivated favorite will unexpectedly lose.

I expected that odds for Hungary win will be a bit lower, after all, Bulgaria is worst team in group. Interesting thing that game will be played without spectators, don't know exact reasons, maybe to avoid supporters protests against Bulgarian Football federation.
Sweden failed to qualify to EURO, but I still go with their win because they have perfect H2H record with Azerbaijan. Estonia - Austria, my pick is over 2.5 goals @1.75 and Georgia - Scotland BTTS @1.90, it should be interesting game.

It was interesting how kosovo won against Israel and how Switzerland fought so hard to win against them but still secured a tie.

Honestly to me it's sad to see how tightened the security has to be just to justify Israel's participation in the tournament:
https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/11/13/israel-lose-to-kosovo-on-return-to-euro-2024-qualifying-in-pictures/

I'd be easier for everyone if they just let the tournament. People in Europe are objecting to the idea of hosting Israel in the tournament and rightly so, especially given what they're doing in palestine now, it's up there with Russia or even worse.
