Even if Italy lose to Ukraine and remain in third place, they will still have a chance to qualify through the underdog qualifier. On the one hand, Italy will be the clear favorite there, but remembering how North Macedonia knocked them out of such a tournament, the nerves of Italian fans will be strained to the limit.
I wonder how Spalletti is feeling?  Grin It is clear that there is a lot of randomness in national team games, but so far this randomness is working against him.
Italy continues to have another bad match and they only can hope with improvement in rest matches of this group, they can take over the second position from Ukraine. It is their target as finding a chance with underdog qualifier is more risky.

Spaletti only became Italy coach recently and he did not have enough time to work with those players. He needs more time but quality of Italy players is a big problem and it can not be changed by Spaletti. They must work to build up a strong team and use a team strength to cover up their lack of star players. It is their best choice to move forwards not only for Euro 2024 but in future too.

National team coaches never have enough time to work with the players - all games are played on the day offs away from the main games - club games. Even the World Cup is now held on day offs in the middle of the main tournament  Grin
I do not agree that Italy has a bad team - no worse than most other teams, and in any case, this team should be able to beat North Macedonia with a reliable score, and not score one goal and hope that this will be enough.

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.

Hansi Flick dismissal from Germany National team doesn't come as a surprise to me. He was already walking a tight rope prior to that game against Japan. The outcome of the Japan game was disappointing. Japan were just out to embarrass Germany and they did it in style. I don't know but I think he was trying the same approach he did with Bayern but it didn't pay off well for him.

Also, why the hell is Arsenal and Germany National team sticking with Kai Havertz in the starting line up? He needs some time on the bench to re-evaluate himself.

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.
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.
Group H seems also equal and competitive even more than group J. There is no leader in Group H, because Kazakhstan and Finland have 12 points each and Denmark and Slovenia have 10 points each, but Kazakhstan has 1 more game, so it is not clear who will come out of the first place. Finland and Denmark are still playing in a draw, which further confuses the situation, because all will still have a chance to fight for the exit from the group.

Luxembourg got 3 wins in the group. I think they are better than expected. It is obvious that they played much better matches than expected, especially considering that they also beat Iceland. They have the same points as Slovakia. While Portugal is the sole leader, I wish Luxembourg would come second in the group.

Hansi Flick was sacked by DFB and Germany will have a new coach soon. About 9 months before Euro 2024 at their home, Germany are in a chaos and affer winning World Cup 2014, 9 years later, they are at bottom again. Germany still have many good players but their mentality is no longer rocky like their brand in the past.

News. Rudi Voller will be a temporary coach of Germany but he will not be their coach in Euro 2024. Do you think of any good candidate for this position? If it is months ago, Tuchel can be a good choice but he is already a coach of PSG and will not be available for Germany.

I still don't understand why the German team are in a bad form, like what's going on?
They can't keep their cool together and I was thinking this was a strategy to deceive other Europe teams but at some point I get to see that the Germany side have lost it completely.
They can't even defend their lead and any country that plays against them is just going to be a disaster for the German machine. I hope they can find that fine form that they were when they won the world cup back in 2014 because is not about sacking the coach that'll solve the problem they have.

There’re reports that Hansi Flick has been fired as Germany head coach today. I think it came after Germany lost 4-1 to Japan yesterday. Germany just isn’t the same anymore. Crazy how much they regressed since 2014. I know it was just a friendly but still. Flick is an incredible coach. We saw that with Bayern. I think Oliver Kahn and those in the hierarchy ruined a great thing with Bayern when flick got sick of this wrongdoings, and decided to leave.

Win result is mandatory for Netherlands because they had 9 points gap below to France and this is not easy match because Ireland sometimes can able to performing well at their home ground but Netherlands also in the good shape because in the last 2 matches on group B they can able to scores 6 goals and wins the matches so i assume Netherlands in the in the positive trend and they are fully confident to facing this match

Netherlands probably will using same strategy just like when they were beat Greece few days ago and Weghorst will be played as centre striker along with Xavi Simons and Gakpo as attacking midfielder and this strategy has successfully to make Netherlands playing with more attacking and for betting options Netherlands win has odds @1.70 i think this odds is quite decent to try because in my opinion Netherlands had good chances to win the match but besides that over 2.5 goals also seems good pick

But in reality, Netherlands has just played three matches so far, while France has played five matches. But indeed, France got perfect results because they consistently won in every match, while Netherlands has experienced one defeat from the three matches they have played so far. Therefore, I think Netherlands does not need to focus on catching up on points with France, because that will make the pressure more difficult. So yes, at least Netherlands must remain consistent to be able to get good results in every match, at least to stay strong in second place.

Ireland vs Netherlands is the most exciting match as a neutral tonight in my opinion. Netherlands should win but Ireland are a good team at home, they have a passionate home crowd and under the lights should be a really good game. Both teams to score seems like a good bet.

I agree with you on that. I also think the Ireland-Netherlands match will be the most interesting match. And in number two I would put Finland vs Denmark. Finland lost to Denmark in their first match in this group. After that they won all their matches in the group. Denmark are superior to Finland in terms of squad quality. But Finland are taking the tournament seriously. Normally Denmark should win this match. However, a surprise result could also come out of this match. That's why this match is the second most important match of the day for me.

The  game was so funny and interesting,  I didn't expect Ukraine will be very tough for England because England has talented players. Harry Maguire funny performance still remains the same like when he was playing for Manchester United, I think he was one of the problems the game was so difficult for England. Ukraine made the game difficult for England which I wasn't expecting it to be so, I expected much Harry kane but it wasn't easy for him. Harry Maguire really needs to improve because with his performance it will affect his team when he is always giving opponent opportunity to score.

We all wasn't expecting that the game would go that way, and I was still believing that England would defeat Ukraine without allowing them to score even one goal back, given how the game ended 1-1. I don't know why they allowed Harry Maguire to play in the game; they obviously didn't notice how well he performed for Manchester United, and I never wanted them to use him; even there, whenever they let him play, they always lost or drew, but he was still in the starting lineup. Very upsetting to see England's team, for God's sake, still drawing with Ukraine. I was really surprised to see Ukraine score the opening goal against England's team; I expected Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka to perform better.

It would be preferable for England to drop Harry Maguire from the starting lineup since even though they are leading the group stage, their performance is down since Harry Maguire started the match. Even with their great players, they still couldn't defeat Ukraine.

It was a disappointing performance if I should rate it. Ukraine was quite stubborn, I'd have to grant them that but England squad is packed with players that can destroy any team but they chose to settle for over confidence and were missing chances to score more goals.
Even though they are at the top of group C with 13 points, I expected more from them but instead they had to draw which gave Ukraine a chance to move to second place. But with North Macedonia and Italy in third and fourth places and 4 points each, I feel Ukraine may be threatened if they win their games.

I don't know if I could say that today's matches results are funny or sad! Since they all finished with a draw!
Ukraine 1 - 1 England. Ok Ukraine isn't a bad team and they are quite challenging but England was surprised with an early goal and they cannot secure more than a draw.. They are lucky Ukraine didn't have serious opportunities
With defenders like Harry Maguire and Henderson holding the defense line you shouldn't expect anything spectacular from  an England team against a mid-level team as Ukraine. By now I should have thought Maguire has improved much on himself with his crazy tacklings and attacks on teammates but it was very disappointing seeing him marking on Guehi, giving their opponent a goal chance at the goal post. I don't know if Southgate gambled this matched against Ukraine in that they have already qualified.

Today Greece puts on a goal show against Gibraltar. The Netherlands must win so that they can stay ahead of Greece. Ireland is not a team to be ignored. They can play well at home and earn points. The Netherlands desperately needs stars like Weghorst to play well. Malen and Berghuis didn't play in the last match. The task of scoring goals falls primarily to Weghorst. It's not easy for the Netherlands because they may have trouble scoring goals. They played comfortably against Greece because they scored early, but if the first goal doesn't come early, the problem grows. They have to score early in this match too.
Ireland's defense is currently not good enough to hold its own against the Netherlands. Greece will, of course, beat Gibraltar, but at the moment the Netherlands have played the fewest matches, but after the game with Ireland they will have to play with the French and Greece, so they should not postpone victories for the upcoming matches, they need to beat Ireland today in order to already have an advantage in the upcoming matches.

I agree with you that Netherlands will take advantage of this opportunity because in the next match against France there is no guarantee they will get points, in other matches Greece will face Gibraltar as an easy opponent and 3 points are guaranteed while Netherlands and Greece have the same points so there is no reason both teams will try to get 3 points. Ireland will miss points in this match and I don't think Ireland can compete with Netherlands and Greece one of them will qualify as runner up in the group.

It would be great if Italy were able to qualify too even though they failed to get 3 points against Macedonia and yesterday's draw has not closed the door for them. In the next match, Italy, coached by Spalletti, will definitely be able to give the best for Italy.
