Turkey played to a goalless draw with Armenia in the first half. After conceding an unfortunate goal in the early minutes of the second half, the national team fell behind 1-0. Although Turkey increased its pressure in the second half, it continues to struggle to get into scoring positions.
In the other match in the group, Croatia is about to get a comfortable win against Latvia. Croatia, which closed the first half ahead with 3 goals in the first half, has now brought the situation to 5-0. If Turkey loses this match, their chances of getting out of the group may become difficult

I'm watching the Croatia-Latvia game and it's a one way match. Latvia players can't do anything and this 5-0 result only show what is the difference in quality. I'm pretty surprised that Turkey is losing against Armenia. I know that Turkey is not one of the best national teams in the world, but I expected them to win. But then again, Armenia managed to beat Wales so I guess they are not an outsider they once were.

EDIT: Just as I posted this Turkey managed to score an equalizer.

Since Croatia are already 3rd in the world, the opponent is not an opponent of their strength or an opponent that will come close to their strength. That's why everyone expected them to score so easily and to have a comfortable victory.
Stefan Kuntz is actually not a good coach.He was not brought in charge of the national team even though there are better coaches in Turkey who can do the job.Success does not come with a foreign coach because it is difficult to talk to the players one on one and tell them exactly what he can do.Turkey is a young and talented national team but there is a disagreement among the players.There is no lack of experience because they all play in good teams in Europe. I think there was a purely tactical reason for such a result.
Even though Turkey scored the equalizing goal, they should have won this match. It might be a bit difficult for them to get out of the group in the top 2 because if you can't beat Armenia at home, how will you manage to beat them away?

I think Portugal is better than Slovakia even without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Slovakia are playing really well without fear and have even been able to create some goal scoring opportunities. They are defending well against a very good Portugal team with many talented players like Ronaldo, Fernandez, Rafeal from AC Milan, Cancelo, Dalot, Bernando Silva, but still no way for them to get their game really going to create any chance. The only chance they have had in this game was from a mistake by the Slovakia defense. If Slovakia win this game, they really deserve it. They have played well with the ball and when not with the ball. They are a hardworking team.

Slovakia was much better then Portugal in the first half and its a shame that they didnt score a goal and after a couple of misses Bruno Fernandes with a beautiful goal punished them and i think Portugal has opened them even more and can score two more goals to finish this match.

Slovakia are trying their best but Portugal isn't an easy team. The score is still 1 - 0 for Portugal and they have to score another goal at least to avoid any late surprise.
In the other matches, Scotland and Croatia are leading with 3 and 4 goals to 0 which make them playing comfortably. Bosnia and Luxembourg are leading with 1 goal difference which isn't reassuring. I see Turkey 1 goal behind Armenia and Spain punished badly Georgia with 7 goals!

Most of the time the bigger teams end up beating the smaller teams in these type of games and that's why betting on these games are definitely a good thing, it shouldn't really be a shock for the teams to lose against these type of bigger clubs.

Armenia is a tiny nation with not much football love and that should be something to care about, it is not really that much of a big deal and shouldn't be a big deal on the long run as well. I believe that we can't really make it work somehow to bet on them, it wouldn't make sense. Turkey is a team that is known for many years, they produce some great talents that go to play at some big clubs, and that means that they will probably be beating Armenia very easily in the end.

Yes, surprisingly Slovakia shows high pressure and the Portuguese play lazily. They are probably very upset that Fernandes, due to his individual skill, tipped the scales in favor of Portugal and now despite the fact that Slovakia played better, Portugal are ahead. But in fact, this is a common picture when two teams of different classes play - I think that Portugal has the resources to speed up if the need arises, but for now they are playing in energy-saving mode.

If you fail to take your chances, the club is likely to get punished over it. Portugal has a lot of talented players who do not need too many chances before they convert one of them.

It is great seeing Ronaldo back in the squad and also enjoying his club football career.

Scotland are playing so well currently and the only team that managed to score a goal against them in Group A are Norway, with such solid defense in place, it might be hard for Cyprus to score any goals against Scotland. I guess Scotland should be able to claim another victory in Group A with a clean sheet against Cyprus at the end of the match.

Its just the first half and Scotland has already got three goals against Cyprus ..and am loving how Scott McTominay and McGinn are linking up ..who by the way have all got a goal & an assist each, is anybody going to put a stop to this great show from the Scottish side Roll Eyes

I dont think so!

Just feel bad for Cyprus who sit bottom of the table with their fate known to be crashing out of the competition with no win to their name, quite sad Cry

Stats say otherwise, Portugal has enjoyed more of the ball and mathematically created more goal scoring chances, and with the squad they have fielded today I expect them to come out guns blazing in the second half!

what a bath of reality its receiving Georgia right now man, when they start to show like a real team and a very good performance overall, Spain destroy them in their home in this way.

The game of today are not good to see, only Slovakia Portugal has some good level, the others games i dont really want to see them.

After all, the reality is that Georgia is not a strong team at all, so the big defeat that Georgia received in this match against Spain is a result that still makes sense. Unless Georgia had good results in the previous few matches, but in fact not too. Therefore, this result is not a surprise at all because the quality of Georgia and Spain is obviously very different, and this big victory is still worthy of Spain in this group and not a strange final result either.

About the match between Slovakia and Portugal so far there are still no goals scored and probably, this match will remain 0-0 until halftime. But yes, at least Portugal has a chance to win too in this match. Because in this first half also Portugal has good dominance, so it is very possible that in the second half Portugal can maximize the opportunity to be converted into a goal.

We might have a surprise with Iceland tonight as Luxemburg is playing really well tonight and more than this , they really performed well in the Europa League and Europa Conference league qualifiers even if they were knocked out.

Turkey - Armenia 0-0 and I still wonder how did Turkey not score ? this team of them is having massive talent right now with probably the most talented team Turkey ever had for 20 years or even 30 years. It's just a matter of time until this team will mature enough in order to win with more confidence because even if they are in 1st place , the concede 5 goals and score 7 so their games were always on the edge.

Türkiye must win today for sure. When we beat Armenia, we are most likely guaranteed to qualify for Euro 2024. All major countries will participate, as 24 teams have already participated. I don't think there will be any surprises here.
Türkiye beat Armenia away, so they will beat Armenia a lot easier at home. So they have to win, even a draw would be a bad result. Armenia is a very weak team. They beat Wales and Latvia in the group. It's very difficult for them to get points from Croatia and Türkiye.
Türkiye's only problem is that they have Barış Alper Yılmaz as a striker. They are playing without a real striker, but even that wouldn't be a big problem. Midfielders can score goals. Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Cengiz Ünder can do this job.

It is really unfortunate that Turkey don't have Cenk Tosun and Enes Unal in the squad now. I would have expected to see especially Enes Unal in this match. He is such a skilled centre-forward as you know. He would have been a big improvement in the attacking line. Because of this situation Baris Alper is playing there now.

However Turkey should still be able to play much better than Armenia on paper. Their players are much more qualified. Even the midfielders should be enough to score goals easily.

I expect to see Turkey winning this one by scoring 2-3 goals.

Unlucky today for the Georgian national team to get under the young generation of Spain, Gavi, Olmo, Williams and Yamal, as well as Morata, who has not lost his goalscoring flair, who made a hat-trick. In general, Georgia suffered the biggest defeat in its history losing 1:7 at home to Spain. Most of the spectators left at 60-70 minutes, when the score became 6:1 and there was a heavy downpour.

In general, a confident victory for the Spanish national team, which goes to the second place in the group.

It seems I missed the latest news on the Euro qualifying matches and yesterday the big teams in Group B such as France and the Netherlands managed to win. Meanwhile, today there was a match from another big team in group A, namely Spain, who managed to crush their opponent Georgia with a score of 1-7 for now. Alvaro Morata recorded a hat trick in this match and Yamine Lamal also recorded his first goal for the Spanish national team in an official competition as well as becoming the youngest player at 16 years old to defend the Spanish national team. I didn't expect Spain to be so violent and the match would be over in a few minutes.

Half Time: Georgia 0 vs 4 Spain

How easy Spain gets 4 goals in this match. Morata managed to register his name on the scoreboard to bring Spain to win in the 22nd minute.
The second, third and fourth goals of Spain were created in a short time after Morata's first goal.

Now, two Spanish players must be replaced. Olmo and Asensio were pulled out by Fuente. It is likely that the two players are injured.
Asensio was replaced by Nico Williams. Dani Olmo was replaced by Lamine Yamal.
The name of the last player who mentioned must take advantage of this opportunity to show its quality better beyond what is shown to Barcelona as the Lamine Yamal club.

After the number of teams joining Euro 2024 has gone up to 24 it has become very difficult for big teams to say goodbye to the tournament in the qualifiers. I'm expecting Portugal to increase their points to 15 by getting a comfortable win against Slovakia today. I'm wondering especially C.Ronaldo's performance. I couldn't watch him there after he went to the Saudi Arabia league. I have just seen the videos of a few goals he scored. I have really missed to watch him in Europe again.

Cristiano Ronaldo is fine in Saudi Arabia, after all he is playing with top players in the team vs world class players in the league. Some disappointment sometimes but he mostly score goals.
I think Portugal is better than Slovakia even without Cristiano Ronaldo.
Croatia, Turkey, Bosnia, Scotland and Spain should win their games that will be played today. For Luxembourg - Iceland, I don't have a clue since both teams aren't that good and everything could happen in it.

Marcus Thuram scored his first-ever goal for France following their 2-0 victory over Ireland. In this match against Ireland, France's young players really showcased their talents. Tchouaméni, Thuram, and Maigan all performed exceptionally well, indicating that France's future is in safe hands. While, Ireland was completely outclassed by the world's best teams, making it a tough match to handle and a night to forget in Paris.

It's high unlikely Ireland would beat France, it's already expected Ireland will lose.

However Netherlands able to beat Greece, it seems the Group B France and Netherlands will qualify for the next round. Ireland and Gibraltar has no chance to survive in Group B, the coach need to use this moment to increase their mental and let their young players to play for experience.
