Basically we still have some mathematical calculations left, but in the end it all depends on the games that will be played. The ones who are going up are already decided, and if we ignore the others, the ones who have a chance, will fight to the last minute, to the last whistle of the game. We are going to definitely see games that will be fun to watch, it is going to end up being great.
I understand that we are not going to see it be that difficult at times, like some teams that need a win may end up losing terribly, they are behind for a reason. For example Wales, good team, but they are not qualifying right now because of a reason, they are not first or second for a reason, so they should play all game as hard as they can to win, but if they lose, that may not be a shock neither. That type of thing happens all the time, and we need to realize that it's either going to be an incredible win, or an expected loss from them when the game ends.

To tell the truth I can't get very hyped about this new technology already now. Because even a great technology like VAR has been abused in so many matches so far.
I mean in those matches VAR made such horrible decisions that they weren't very different than mistakes a simple referee can make. I really would like to see this new technology to get ahead of this issue and drop the number of such incidents at least in Euro 2024. I hope they don't still continue to make mistakes despite having a more detailed view of an incident with this technology.
That is what North Macedonia is hoping for, people to just look at what's going on on paper 
Italy has some great memories of North Macedonia! 
It was against all expectations when North Macedonia kicked Italy out of the World Cup play-offs in March 2022 and despite these huge differences on paper, the game was lost. I recall that Italy had an insane number of corners and yet it was the weaker team on paper that won the game. I think this time Italy will pay more attention to not making any mistakes twice.

I think this time Italy will pay more attention to not making any mistakes twice.These sort of upsets can be expected. Italy is still in the rebuilding phase. They are no longer the team that we know from the 1990s and early 2000s. Younger players are not coming through the ranks and promising players such as Mario Balotelli have suddenly vanished from the international scene all of a sudden. They failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and even now the qualification for 2026 World Cup is not guaranteed. At this point, there is not much they can do. They are undergoing a natural decline, similar to the case with Germany and Netherlands.
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.

Croatia's situation is very difficult, but if they confidently beat Latvia and Armenia, which is quite possible, then they can score the same 16 points as Turkey and have a better goal difference. And under this condition, if Turkey loses to Wales, then they may lose first place, so Turkey will have to at least play the match with Wales to a draw. I think Croatia should make it to the playoffs, they are too strong a team to stop playing in the group stage.
I also hope that Croatia will have to perform optimally in the last 2 matches in order to qualify for the next round. I'm sure Croatia still has a chance to qualify next, indeed their opponents are very determined to appear at the German Euro later. Of course, this group will be very exciting in fighting for their team to qualify next. The reason is that Wales will go all out in the last 2 matches even though the last match was a bit tough against Turkey.

They aren't really known to have German mentality, I think they won't give a shit about that result and I feel that a bet on Wales in that game might be a smart thing to do.
Betting on Wales in that game is a no brainer for us. If they win we get some money and if they don't that means that everything is up to us. Then again, with our current form and issues with the roster I am not sure that we can count on wins vs Latvia and Armenia.Anyway, it will be the ultimate irony in case Wales and Turkey qualifies ahead of Croatia after the latter finished at the third position in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
That wouldn't be the first time something like that happened to us. Back in 1998 we were 3rd in the world and then we didn't qualify for 2000 Euro in Belgium & Netherland, and that was the only Euro qualifications that we failed to. Fingers crossed that history doesn't repeat itself. 
There is an Israel - Switzerland game tonight which is the only game of the day at the same time. Israel played an away game against Kosovo three days ago and got a disappointing result like a 1-0 loss. This even included Kosovo in the race for qualifying for Euro 2024. Now they are hosting Switzerland which got a really solid result against themselves by 3-0 before.
Maybe Israel don't concede so many goals. Their defending is similar to Switzerland now. However when it comes to scoring productivity they are really bad. 7 goals in 7 games against 20 goals in 7 games here. Considering their previous head-to-head as well I don't expect Switzerland to lose here.
Previously Switzerland only able to gets draw result from Belarus and at that time Switzerland even almost be lose but today they want to secured one place to qualified at group I so that's why i am sure Switzerland will aiming win result and it's not hard for them to collect 3 point from this match because just like you said before Switzerland has been won from Israel on March and recently i have checked the odds for both teams and Switzerland has odds @1.47 so it's clearly they are the favouriteMaybe Israel don't concede so many goals. Their defending is similar to Switzerland now. However when it comes to scoring productivity they are really bad. 7 goals in 7 games against 20 goals in 7 games here. Considering their previous head-to-head as well I don't expect Switzerland to lose here.
Regarding team condition i can see there were no players who got injured because the players such as Akanji, Xhaka and Shaqiri will be available today and if Switzerland can able to beat Israel today then they will have 18 points and it makes Switzerland certainly will qualified and i think Switzerland will going to win this match because Switzerland squad quality is above to Israel and their recent matches results also more good than Israel so although Switzerland odds is not high i think this is safe bet
Saw this and found it interesting -
@FootRankings
EURO 2024 - Projected pots, according to current standings.
- Türkiye still in Pot 1, but they will most likely end up in Pot 2
- Spain with easy fixtures in good position to move to Pot 1
- Romania and Slovenia currently in Pot 2, Ukraine and Wales holding direct entry spots
https://x.com/footrankings/status/1724773493512798644
Obviously it’s based on current standings and teams qualified and others in a good place to qualify. Could change a little with remaining games results but it’s there or thereabouts.

Today we do have a game for Euro 2024 qualifiers and Israel will face Swiss in order to decide who will go to euro and who will now. For this game , I really hope Swiss will manage to win the game and help Romania to qualify further after a very long wait of 8 years to not bet at Euro.
There is also 2nd scenario where Israel wins the game and the next game it will be against Romania but I'll be honest and admit that Romania really have a strong team capable of beating all the teams from the group so it's not a miracle that they are on 1st place. Until then , my country needs to qualify and as a Romanian , tonight it will be an important one for us.
Even if they win, Israel will have fewer points than Switzerland. Although I think Switzerland will not lose this game. Especially since the match will be played not in Israel, but in Hungary, so there will be no home field advantage. I think that Switzerland will not have any problems today. It's funny to say, but it will be a meeting of two bankers.

Final standings position depend with head to head if Wales and Croatia have the same points, actually both teams have two matches left and Wales have closer forward opportunity qualify to EURO 2024 if can win all matches left. But little difficult opponent for Wales have Turkey on the last match and loss points will give advantage for Croatia if can win all their matches left.
Croatia have weakness opponent teams than Wales but its not guarantee with Croatian can take six points from two matches left against Latvia and Armenia. Wales have early match than Croatia and excited to see if success with three points will make Croatia on under pressure against Latvia before last match both teams will play on the same time.

Well.. in a way, you are right. I was closely checking the itinerary, and it seems like Croatia has only a slight advantage (and that too because Wales need to play against Turkey). Anyway, it will be the ultimate irony in case Wales and Turkey qualifies ahead of Croatia after the latter finished at the third position in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Anyway, we will get to know about it in less than a week from now. Both the teams will play their remaining matches on 18th November and 21st November. So we will get a clear picture either by 18th, or latest by 21st.
As Turkey have guaranteed qualifying from the group it is really very hard to predict how they would play against Wales in the last match away. I'm very happy for us to have managed to qualifying from this group. I'm expecting Croatia and Wales both to win tomorrow. However it wouldn't be an easy away match for Wales against Armenia.
For Wales, even a home game with Turkey will be difficult, because although Turkey has already qualified and does not have much motivation, they can play without any pressure and I doubt that they will give victory to Wales. The situation in Group D is in favor of Croatia - they have two easy matches left, while Wales have two difficult ones.
The problem for Wales is that their last match is against Turkey.
Yeah, but the problem for Croatia is that in that game Turkey's got nothing to play for.
They aren't really known to have German mentality, I think they won't give a shit about that result and I feel that a bet on Wales in that game might be a smart thing to do.
Crazy as it sounds - I feel that Armenia is a bigger danger to Wales than Turkey.

The equation is very simple. If Wales can defeat Turkey, then there is a good chance that they will qualify. On the other hand, Croatia has better chances. But I was never expecting this group to be so tight. After Croatia's splendid performance during Qatar 2022, I was expecting them to top the group. However they are trailing at the 3rd position right now. And remember that Wales is very inexperienced squad, without Gareth Bale (he announced his retirement after the 2022 FIFA World Cup).

I'm really interested to see how Wales will do in Armenia. Armenia won 4-2 in Wales, and if they manage to do so again it will mean a great deal for Croatia's direct qualification.
Wales's got everything in their own hands for now - but they also have to win against Turkey (the group's leader) in the last round.
I still can't believe we've lost 2 games in a row. I don't recall when it happened to us in qualifiers. I just hope there won't be some surprises in Latvia.

I'm wondering about the same match as well. As you also said Wales don't have a good history against Armenia in the qualifiers. On the other hand they are quite inconsistent as well. For example despite losing that match by 4-2 they defeated Croatia by 2-1 home in their last match. They are currently on a two-match winning streak as well.
These all look positive things for Wales maybe but I still don't believe they can be trusted easily. Armenia also still have a chance for Euro 2024 now. They would do their best as well. If Wales lose points here it would be very useful for Croatia.

The problem for Wales is that their last match is against Turkey. So Croatia has a higher chance of qualifying to the main tournament. For Croatia, the remaining matches are against Latvia and Armenia. But who knows? Anything can happen. For now, only Turkey is guaranteed of a slot in the main tournament. It is still possible for Wales to qualify, only if they can defeat Turkey. Given the sort of form Turkey is in right now, I believe that it is an almost impossible task. Anyway, the picture will be clear by 21st November.
