Yeah we are surprised that Italy failed to get 3 points even though they only needed to hold on for the remaining 10 minutes, the bookie sucked up our bet Cheesy

Italy still has a big chance, they still have one match to play Italy has collected 4 points while Ukraine has 7 points and in the upcoming match the two teams will fight each other if Italy win then both teams have the same points. Overall Italy still has 5 matches ahead with a potential of 15 points while Ukraine only has 4 matches left with a potential of 12 points.

I don't disagree with you or anyone else who thinks Italy are favorites and will qualify
But stronger teams can't afford to lose games like that because they could get into trouble in the future, just look at the case of the World Cup itself and North Macedonia
Ukraine got a good result against England, and imagine a scenario in which Ukraine gets a draw against Italy, that could complicate the situation in the group and make second place very dramatic

Remembering that Macedonia will play against Malta, and could get all three points, making things even more complicated in the group
Only England seem to be at a much higher level at the moment in this group

But don't worry hehe, according to the odds, Italy have 63% of probability to win Cheesy

The situation of Italy is not great but.

Even if they end in 3rd position they will have one more opportunity of playoff thanks to their position achieved with the Nation's League.

Italy played 3 matches and collected 4 points. The draw vs North Macedonia wasn't justified at the opposite of the defeat vs England. Comparing to Ukraine which collected 7 points after playing 4 matches, Italy still could catch them and even pass them since they will face each other in the next round.
For the matches played today, I see normal results except for Poland defeat by 2 goals vs Albania Roll Eyes

It has now become clear that Italy is racing for second place in the group because England is the leader with 13 points with 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 matches. Italy is competing with Ukraine. I think Italy will take the second place in the group and will be able to make it to Euro 2024. Being in the same group as England was already putting the group on a difficult level. If Italy doesn't make it past the group stage, it will surprise everyone.

I really like the Ireland vs Netherlands match... The Irish are playing very well so far, though both teams were lucky to score goals from penalties... Judging by the odds, bookmakers favour the Netherlands, but according to the statistics of shots I think that both teams have a chance to win...

We gotta give credit, Ireland played pretty good but still lost. Netherlands is lucky to have Dumfries honestly, he changed the game. And we have to say that this team's striker is Weghorst, not anybody else. Now Ireland have no chance to advance. France is first, Netherlands and Greece are fighting for second spot. Netherlands has just passed an important turn tonight. Considering their future fixture, Greece has a though task. I believe Netherlands will stay in second place and reach Euro 2024 after last three games.

Poland barely won against Faroe Island while Albania was the first team of the group to not lose in Czech Republic home so it was a well deserved win for Albania tonight who dominated the game in occasions of goal while the only chance Poland had was the goal that was correctly disallowed by VAR,not a single hit except that in 90 minutes.What I am surprised for the good is the new team of Albania that Sylvinho the coach has put together which given he is Brazilian the attackers of Albania are scoring super goals,so did Bajrami in Czech Republic,even better did Asani tonight.That is a final K.O to Poland qualification as even if they end with same points as Albania,the goal difference decides and Albania lost 1-0 there while won 2-0 tonight.

In Group C, Serbia maintained their 2nd place in the group with a 3-1 win away to Lithuania.Mitrovic scored a hat-trick as Serbia deserved to win as they were heavy favorites against their opponent.The goals came in the first half and there were no goals in the second half.Mitrovic is a really good striker and his transfer to Al Hilal after 6 seasons at Fulham doesn't seem to have affected him.He is still scoring goals like he used to.
In the other match in the group, Montenegro defeated Bulgaria 2-1 at home and managed to increase their points to 8.Montenegro was down to 10 men early in the second half and it was important for them that Bulgaria did not benefit from a penalty.Bulgaria equalized in the 80th minute, but Montenegro scored with Jovetic in the last minutes and won the match.

Luxembourg is showing extraordinary performance in group stage this qualifying period. They still have chance to go Euro 2024 (its pretty low tho). Besides Türkiye many other expensive national teams had terrible results this match week. I think it's mainly because leagues are started rather new and players are not very concentrated yet. I am only bit worried with Italy cause they are important team, if they can't go to finals its too bad.

Yeah Luxembourg's opportunity is still open, their only competitor is Slovakia both have collected 10 points from 5 matches but Slovakia conceded fewer goals so they are in 2nd place and Luxembourg will have to play Portugal in the next match clearly this is not an easy match they could lose points again while Slovakia is a little easier because it is against Liechtenstein a team that has never won and is without points this is an advantage for Slovakia to rise further.

Portugal have won all five of their group games, averaging three goals per game and conceding none. This performance could have been predicted before the group matches started, but probably no one could have predicted Luxembourg's performance so far. After drawing with Slovakia and then losing to Portugal in their first game, the visitors have managed to beat their other three opponents in quick succession. From being considered one of the weakest links in the group, they have suddenly become a contender for second place. Still, they have a weak squad compared to their opponents in this match. I don't think they can repeat the same success against Portugal.

If you look at this group Portugal is the strongest and cannot be compared to the other countries in the group. We have seen the big difference from the matches and this was why Portugal won all their matches on a clean sheet.

Luxemburg is the country that surprises me because I don't expect them to have such wonderful performance in them. It is only them that am sure of that will qualify with Portugal from that group,the other two countries are very weak in football currently.

It would be funny if a club played a game and didn't want to win.
England tried a few chances but in the end Ukraine also played very well in this match which made England unable to develop their attacks despite several attempts and substitutions but they failed to maximise with their dominance.
However, they are still comfortable in their current position and it is quite interesting to see the competition for the second place I guess because for the first place, England is definitely there but for the second place, Italy and Ukraine still have a chance to prove themselves.

I don't expect England to even play out a draw in this encounter because they're the favorite and the 3 Lions have all they needed to come out victorious with all 3pt, imagine them struggling to win against the Ukraine national team. It was as if both teams are of the same strength, well I'm judging base on the kind of world class players the 3Lions have and they couldn't dominate.
When I see the England team score just a goal or two in a game that they ought to score more than 3 goals it just reminds me of the France team, and is annoying to gambling investors as the case maybe.
I just believe they (England) have a plan in their next match and not to end in a draw.

But this was inevitable because seeing that the final result could not be changed and they only managed to get 1 point in this match.
Even though England is actually safe, this is a little annoying for me with the results achieved because with that my bet lost.
On the other hand, Italy also seems to be still having difficulties in this qualifying phase. Hopefully they don't miss out on the Euro opportunity after previously failing in the World Cup. Because if this fails then I think their quality will decline the most drastically compared to other national teams.

Yeah that group feels really competitive besides Portugal (is already too strong). I wish Luxembourg can go further in this race competing with Slovakia and Bosnia honestly. Actually they both are not that very strong teams in my opinion. Portugal is probably relaxed a lot. In other groups there are many nightmare like matches between bigger countries but Portugal's group is filled with mediocre teams. Luxembourg can't get point there against Portugal sadly.

5 Wins with clean sheets Portugal also has a high goal productivity because looking at its current ratio Portugal is 3 goals a game and indeed they are unrivaled now in group J.
They are already comfortable and will qualify for the next phase but for Slovakia and Luxembourg they still have a chance if you look at the current points but Slovakia will still be a little difficult in the remaining matches.
They still have to face Portugal as well as of course Luxembourg in a dead heat so if Solvakia fail in this then a 3rd place finish is a certainty.

On the other hand we now have the Netherlands and Ireland match. The penalties in this early round are a bit tricky as the Netherlands now need to win the match to keep Greece at bay.

Denmark's national team finally confuses all the cards in Group H. Now Denmark has 13 points after the victory over Finland, Finland has 12 points after the defeat and Slovenia's game today, they also have 10 points, but if they win, it will be 13. In general, the most confusing and competitive group I think.

Yeah Groups E and H are the most competitive each team competes with each other with difference 1-3 points and only 2 teams qualified, in group H Denmark is a strong candidate while in group E Czech are favorites. In a few minutes Albania will fight against Poland both teams need 3 points and the winner will take over the standings, I can see Lewandowski in the line up but that doesn't mean Poland is the favorite because the handicap is -0.25 for Poland there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw and my betting option is that both teams score seems interesting.

Hansi Flick managed Germany national team for 25 games and got sacked. Honestly I think this was the right thing to do also. Because Germany haven't had a good level of team spirit for a long time. Otherwise they don't have a bad squad in fact. Their squad is full of not only experienced but also young and skilled players.

This squad have the potential to achieve much bigger successes. But instead they have been performing really poorly for a while. That loss against Japan was also unbelievable.

The only thing Germany need is a good management now. I hope they pick the right manager for themselves this time. As Euro 2024 is going to be played in Germany it is very important for them to take advantage of this.

Yesterday I thought Italy had a good chance to get a rematch with North Macedonia, but they blew that attempt... Last time Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup because of Macedonia... Yesterday they failed to beat them again, but were lucky to draw... Honestly it was the most unexpected match for me...

It seems like North Macedonia is a difficult opponent for Italy, because the fact is in some matches or their meetings also in the head to head record, that Italy cannot always beat North Macedonia. So yes, I think it might not be a strange result if Italy can't beat North Macedonia, maybe it's like a curse or something else. But apart from that, at this moment Italy is also still not in a good position in the standings and of course, Italy still has to make greater efforts to be in the top two in the standings.

Luciano Spalletti had a less than smooth debut with Italy. Italy's strength has been too easy for its opponents to spot in recent years. Usually, when opponents face Gli Azzurri, they are a little afraid.
Their best game started to fade after winning EURO 2020 even though the Italian squad was filled with players who played in the big European leagues.

I still don't know what caused their decline in performance. Is it because of Mancini's effect as coach before Spalletti? I am someone who doesn't like Mancini's coaching style.
It also doesn't seem true because in Mancini's last match before being replaced by Spalletti, Italy beat the Netherlands.

Seriously the Denmark team almost played out a draw in this fixture. I felt some how disappointed when I saw the first half ended in a draw.
After the kick off of the second half the Denmark team started pressing till they finally got a goal, is so fun because they hardly play out more than a goal if the opponent refuses to score, I wonder the kind of force they'd use when is time to show how good they are.

Flick probably did not expect that he would be fired, but he was not forgiven for the 1-4 defeat by Japan. In Bayern Munich, he was an excellent coach, perhaps second only to Heynckes, but it didn't go well in the national team, the last matches are a nightmare, the percentage of wins with the national team is less than 50. In general, apparently the patience of the federation has burst and they decided to dismiss now so that the replacement has time to prepare the team. 9 months is a good time. They say that the main candidate so far is Julian Nagelsmann, if it does not work out to agree, then probably Tuchel will be next.

Flick did not do well in the last games with germany, some were lost. I would like to see a player from Germany who was last world champion. For example, Bastian Schweinsteiger or Lukas Podolski, they are not coaches with experience, but it would be something new and I think they need that now. For the next week sports director Rudi Völler and youth director Hannes Wolf should made this job until the new one is there.

In the German national team after the departure of Joachim Lew only got worse, although at the time it seemed that the change of coach will benefit, but it happened otherwise and Flick failed to prepare for the Euros, and the recent losses to Poland and Japan put an end to his career in the national team.
