Harry Maguire is perform good as a striker, he contributed 3 shoots, that's more higher than Saka and Kane Cheesy

England looks hungry and want to score a goal, but they aren't aware with their defense and this make Ukraine use this advantage to score a goal.

Now Ukraine is ahead to Italy, it's a big joke if Italy can't qualified in the next round. I'm expecting Italy will try anything in order to win against Ukraine.
Don't expect much from Italy, they are really bad enough now that they only managed to draw against North Macedonia, this is quite bad in my opinion.
Italy's new coach Luciano Spalletti failed to win in his debut match and the most embarrassing thing was being held to a draw by North Macedonia, whose quality is very far below Italy's.
...

that's pretty true!
Italy team actually continue to suffers a bad situation since they have missed 2 (TWO!) world cup qualifications!
I mean, we are talking about a team that has been able to win 4 times this competition :O !
Personally I think that they can achieve the qualification this time in EURO 2024 but is not easy at all, and Spalleti has not a magic wand for the team Sad
However I will not judge from the first match + consider we are also at start of the season so much more probably will come later...

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.

Yes, I saw footage of the goal from Ukraine and I saw Harry Maguire taking part in the goal scored by Zinchenko. Harry Maguire's movement was very strange, he actually helped his partner to block the opposing player's view to make a pass, but the place he shouldn't have left instead created an empty space wide enough to shoot. That's where Harry Maguire's mistake lies and I don't think we are surprised that the defense he displays is always detrimental to his own team. Until now we don't know why Southgate is pinning his hopes on Harry Maguire, even though if you look at other options on the bench there is a pretty good defender like Fukayo Tomori, but Southgate doesn't seem to want to use him as a starter.

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.

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.

I think the result of England's draw and the difficulty of this team breaking through the Ukrainian defense is natural because Ukraine is a balanced opponent for England and it must be admitted that the English team's performance was quite messy in this match, but the draw result was quite fair for both teams.
Ukraine defenders did not have a very good rating after the results of this match even though they were able to hold on to a 1-1 draw which saw the English national team break their winning streak in group c. The score of 1-1 did not show that the Ukrainian defenders performed well, but the English forwards whose performance slightly declined even though in total England managed to make 11 shots.

As a forward, Kane shoots 1 and Saka shoots 3. The rest is Maguire who is able to make 3 shots.
Maybe Southgate and the England players felt they had earned enough points to qualify from the group so they didn't really mind the draw in that match even though I agree that this draw was enough for both teams.

I don't know what Polish fans are expecting. Their team constantly relies on Lewandowski for years, why they think different now lol
----

I don`t want to be mean or cynical and give bad news to the Polish fans, but one player cannot lead an entire team. You see Cristiano Ronaldo, he didn`t succeed with Portugal, why should it be different with Lewandowski?
I don`t think so, we need a champion but we need a team that supports him, otherwise nothing will work.

We have many examples and this absolutely does not change.

Except Messi, of course Wink Even before he won WC Argentina progress relied on him so much for many years. And now in MLS he literally changed a team in 11 games. From bottom league to appearing in two finals and winning their historic first cup.

But I know what you mean and agree. Hence, why I thought it was dumb of Polish fans to be angry when they get results they should be expecting.

Italy is better in quality compared to Northern Macedonia and also Ukraine,the fact that they did not win against North Macedonia yesterday is of course is a big minus to their campaign and looking how things are going if they don't win against Ukraine they are once again out of the Euro 2024 and this is a really bad result for them.

Usually the debut of an Italian coach does not go well looking historical data but that does not mean that things will not improve for Italy,month of October is next station of qualifiers and that is crucial not only for Italy,also for the other groups where we have some wide open groups.

Glory To Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
If Italy fail in qualifying for Euro 2024 as well it would be a huge disappointment for the fans. Spalletti has taken over the job after Mancini left. Spalletti had a wonderful season in the Serie A with Napoli as you can remember. That was hell of a dominant season. As he is Italian and he is very familiar with Italian players also I think this is a really sensible choice for the job.

But the expectations will be really high from Spalletti. Because this team couldn't qualify for the last World Cup by a shocking loss against a weak team like North Macedonia. They got a draw this time against the same team. But I believe in Spalletti to make improvement and qualify for Euro 2024 firstly.

Not the best debut for Spalletti, so far the change of coach has not helped Italy. But I don’t believe that Italy will not be able to reach the playoffs, and so far they are in third place, and are 3 points behind Ukraine, but they also played one game less, and if they win the next match, they will be able to get ahead of Ukraine and still have one game in hand. I don’t know if Ukraine can count on points at the Italian stadium.

Well while Ukraine is holding on, despite the advantage of England on shots on goal 8:2 in favor of England and its moment Ukraine realized and now there is a chance to play a draw, if the defense and midfield will have the strength to withstand another 20 minutes against England with its offense.

Belgium in energy saving mode beat Azerbaijan and in principle they often do so, it is not Spain, which likes to score a lot and if it catches the fancy, it will not be good for anyone. Belgium plays more pragmatic soccer.

There are no more goals, the final score is 1-1 and Ukraine is not yet safe. Italy can catch up at any time because so far Italy has only played 2 matches which means the potential for 6 points to be collected for a total 9 points is enough. shifting Ukraine from 2nd position. I forgot that England didn't need to push hard to win because they were completely safe as group winners obviously they avoid the risk of injury or other things. Belgium is almost the same as England no need for more effort they are predicted to qualify as group winners or runners up so it's not surprising if they play more relaxed.
Ukraine got lucky twice yesterday. The first time when it managed not to lose to England for the first time in 10 years, and the second time when Italy failed to beat northern Macedonia. Spalletti's debut in the national team did not turn out well yesterday. Although Northern Macedonia is not the strongest opponent, but Italy should have gained 3 points in this match.

Switzerland also played a rather unexpected draw with Kosovo, conceding an offensive goal on 94 minutes. Now Israel and Romania can potentially overtake the Swiss in the last rounds, the group is very even, except Andorra, everyone can potentially beat anyone in the group.

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.

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 otherwise they would be in trouble.
My main concern was on how mudryk was getting by one against meguire and kyle walker. I saw that how mudryk was always running without knowing the direction to pass england's defender. I do agree if england has been missing a lot of opportunities.
Ukraine was always supplying the ball for mudryk but this guy rarely able in passing kyle walker when it came to the 1 on 1. What an entertaining match to see meguire vs mudryk as well.  Cheesy

I never thought if meguire would be playing in this game against ukraine. Seeing meguire try to prevent mudryk from running is a very entertaining thing.

Mudryk is an overated player Infact Arsenal was very lucky not to have signed him, at the club level (Chelsea) he hasn't live up expectation to justify his huge sign on fee while at the national level playing for Ukraine he is just an average player, he was rated 10th out of the 11 players in yesterday's match against England which justify his ability to dribble pass Walker a strong and pacy defender, meanwhile Southgate has sticked with Maguire despite not playing regularly for Man Utd, I think the manager has reason for playing him for English team and I believe if England played a very formidable opponent definitely Maguire would have flopped due to his regular prone to mistake or error infact in yesterday's match he should have block Zinchenko from scoring their first goal Instead he ran towards his teammate.

I think Italy has recovered after failing to qualify for the world cup last year and in the Euro 2024 qualifying match against Macedonia they only drew. It really doesn't make sense for a team as big as Italy, which should be able to win easily, to have difficulty again facing much weaker opponents. After Mancini was fired from his position as Italy coach last month, it has now been quite a bad debut for Spalletti who has been appointed as the new Italy coach. The former Napoli coach failed to win in his debut match in charge of Italy and this will definitely make his job even harder because Italy is in 3rd place in Group C. Italy must win the next match and they must catch up with the difference in points from Ukraine if they want to qualify.
What happen with Italy in UEFA Euro Qualifier after held draw by North Macedonia? its not good result for Italy because they have left many points from top standings teams with England have 13 points in Group C. Although have five matches in qualifier but Italy looks difficult for raising top standings position from England and has one way for qualifying to UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany by finishing on 2nd standings position. Its seems funny with Italy as defend winner last edition have absent for participating in next Euro loss compete with qualifier group stage. Looks not good result for Spaletti as debut match for Italy, he has difficult working for upcoming match and depend with how many points left from top standings position. Few days later against Ukraine and playing as home match, Italy must get three points to make close points with Ukraine have collected 7 points until four matches played.

England and Italy surprised me, both teams drew with easy opponents.

Belgium won with some difficulty, Sweden had a very comfortable win.

I expected Switzerland to win but they drew.

Almost all ended in a draw in the last match when one of them is favored but the final result does not match expectations as gamblers we like being pranked
Today there are still many matches to be played, will be more careful I don't want to get trapped for second time no matter whether the opponent is stronger
I expect there will be fewer goals in each match and bet Under on the total goals do you think it's interesting?

Talking about Harry Maguire,he's a very big flop and has been warming the bench for Manchester United almost throughout last season but he keeps getting called the coach and is still the England captain despite the last of playing time he gets I wonder what Gareth Southgate sees in Maguire or the relationship they had that would make him call him to the team when there are lots of players better than him, it was so funny how he marked his own player, creating space for Zinchenko to put the ball into the net what a funny match, watching both players underperform for their countries was so entertaining, however mudryk was a very fine player at Shaktar Donetak but have been underperforming since he got transferred to Chelsea and it's very bad for his career because he was a prospect that everyone were looking upto to develop better at England.
Ukraine headcoach, Sergiy Rebrov puts up with one of their best performance, applying defensive strategy against Gareth Southgate. England having a draw tie with average country like Ukraine is absolutely questionable, everything the englishmen needed was there, the whole situation was under full dominance from England but failed to net more goals for the team inother to accumulate three solid points for Gareth Southgate and the citizens. Wait a second, how come Southgate used Harry Maguire in these tough games, he keep using him and just one day, he will make some crucial blunder that would lead to goals conceded.

Italy are running a serious risk of not qualifying for the Euro, and it would be horrible for the country. It already missed out on the last World Cup

It's amazing to follow Italy's instability. They manage to win a Euro, fail to qualify for the World Cup, then finish third in the Nations League, and may not even qualify for the Euro

It's a team that must be making a lot of bettors lose their bets hehe

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.
