Maybe, their top priority was to secure those 3 points, and they managed it. But it was certainly a hard-fought victory for France. The Irish team put up a tough challenge, playing well but unfortunately luck was not in their favor. It's worth giving a special shout-out to France's new goalkeeper, Mike Maignan, as his incredible saves helped to secure the win. Without him, they would have lost the game. It's fair to say that Ireland held the upper hand through out the game. Overall, it was an entertaining game.

Ireland can play very well, especially at home. Just as often, they focus on playing on the defensive, and the Ireland team itself is not very productive, so there are not very many goals in matches with their participation. Of course, it was important for France to get three points, they did an excellent job with the task. Sometimes the matches can be more difficult, but in the end, the score is not so important, as received points.

Nevertheless the biggest surprise of the evening yesterday night was without a doubt Czech Republic not being able to win against Moldova at Moldova home.

especially taking into account that Czech Republic won over Poland few days ago, expected an easy win over Moldova, but it wasn't happened
luckily, odds were so small to consider putting them onto betting

Serbia won over Montenegro away, and seems that Serbia and Hungary are ahead in this group
did anyone saw Maignan save against Ireland, how could he end up on the bench during Lloris era was a mystery for me

Well I was not impressed at all by Poland yesterday despite them winning 1-0 against Albania,they were not that spirited and they did not create dangerous attacks,the goal was just luck,the ball hit the post and got back to a Poland striker,beside that Poland just kept defending and they were playing at their home.

Nevertheless the biggest surprise of the evening yesterday night was without a doubt Czech Republic not being able to win against Moldova at Moldova home,the odd of them was 1.18 to win,this shows that the ball is round and that we should not bet based on odds but based on our knowledge.

It was very impressive of Wales to force a draw upon Croatia even when they are playing without their star player Gareth Bale who had retired from professional football. With Turkey and Croatia placed in Group D, Wales might need to focus on gaining more points whenever they are playing at their home stadium as it will be a tough task to compete for the top 2 spots in Group D. Wales will play against Latvia at the comfort of their home stadium in the next upcoming match and I guess Wales should be able to claim a victory at the final whistle.

Only 1-0 for France at the end, the game was close, was not expecting that considering the difference between the teams.

I can't really tell what's up with the French side, is like they're not the team that played the world cup finals despite the fact that they lost but they're suppose to continue that amazing form, scoring goals non stop, imagine struggling with Ireland at 48th place  in the FIFA world ranking and they [France] at 3th, is just hilarious in there performance very unimpressive. To me  0-1 is not a comfortable win with the kind of players the French side have, wasn't expecting that score line though.

My eyes are hurting when I watch the Netherlands play against Gibraltar. Seriously, this is one of the worst teams they ever had together with the worst coach. When you lose the first game 0-4 in the qualification and then Gibraltar is coming to your home stadium and also receives a red card at the beginning of the second half, how can you only score 3 goals as the Netherlands against Gibraltar? Anyone who watched the game at least partially, they have no ideas, no dynamic game, no creative positioning, nothing. If they play like this until 2024, they have no chance. That was one of the worst games I have seen from them so far.
Netherlands is overrated by FIFA, Netherlands only a world class defenders and strikers, but they're lack of good goalkeeper and midfielders. Defenders can only make the opponent striker to hardly shot on target, but in the end goalkeeper need to save the ball. There's no good midfielders, so there's no play maker which can give a good long and short pass.

But the next Euro match will happen on September, I don't think there's will be a big change considering the players will always same.

Didn't watch their match against Gibraltar and France but winning only 3-0 against Gibraltar is pretty weak indeed. I don't think the team or the coach they have is so bad, after all, they reached the quarters finals at the world cup. In his first period with the Netherlands, Koeman managed to win the Nations league; nobody really cares about this, but that's a different disccusion. Lets see what the next matches bring but based on the summaries I read, they will need to change some things.

Watched Montenegro - Serbia game for 75 minutes but the game was so boring, switched to France game. We watched good games yesterday and previous day but today is a big disappointment for international football. Even Netherlands couldn't score many goals against Gibraltar, weird day at all. If you have over goal bets your parlays are in danger. Only Hungary game is over 2.5 goals now. Luckily I didn't bet on anything as I don't find good odds to play.

This qualifying match is a rally match that only has a few days gap from the first match to the second for a team to do. It could be that they are starting to experience fatigue and boredom and usually the national team players are core players in a club so they don't want to take the risk of playing at full strength because only a few days later players have to go back to the club and have a normal match in the league.

The statistics for the Netherlands vs Gibraltar match clearly illustrate how the two teams are very different in quality, not a single shot on goal was made for Gibraltar as well as corner kicks and their ball possession was only 13%, but the Netherlands could only score 3 goals it's not good performance should be more than that.

And Poland can only win with 1 goal from Albania, it doesn't look like a strong team, Poland only benefits because it is in a relatively easy group because Poland and Czech will have the chance to qualify

Czechia drew with Moldova. I can't make sense of this result. You have the potential to beat Poland, your toughest opponent in the group, 3-1, but you can't score against a weaker opponent than Poland like Moldova. First of all congratulations to Moldova, it was not easy for them to get a draw against such an opponent. It is very, very sad for the Czechs that they drew in a match in which they were heavy favorites.
Poland defeated their rival Albania 1-0 and got their first win in the group. If Poland, who lost 3-1 to the Czechs in the first match, had lost points in this match, it would have been difficult for them to get out of the group. Fortunately, they won the match even if it was 1-0 and managed to get 3 points.
Czechia draw with Moldova is biggest upset tonight. It's terrible result for Czechia, but this group is very weak, I think they won't have problems to reach EURO together with Poland, unless they will continue dropping points against underdogs.
For some time it looked that Estonia can make upset, but eventually Austria scored 2 goals in 2nd half and won the game.


Czechia and Poland seem to be able to get out of the group, but points losses in games like this can put them in trouble. I expected Czechia to win this game but they had problems in finding goals. They were better in the match against Poland. There shouldn't be that much difference between the two games, the way they played and the positions they took. It's a really sad draw for Czechia. Most people expected them to score and win in this match but it didn't happen.
Austria, on the other hand, played well and came from behind to win the match. After missing a penalty in minute 17, Austria conceded a goal about 8 minutes later and closed the first half 1-0 down. They started the second half fast and it must be said that they played a dominant game. They were rewarded for this with 2 goals. At the moment, Austria increased its score to 6 and took the lead.

I don't know why but this time Deschamps decided to make some changes in the positions of starting eleven players for the Ireland game.

This actually didn't affect their performance in a good way at all. They were really bad at finding the target mostly and they gave so many chances to their opponent at the same time. Still Pavard was there to save them of course by scoring a goal. But I think France should continue to play with the same strategies and game plan they had against Netherlands. They were very strong in that game you know.

France usually play like that when you watch them you know they don't concede a goal easily. Although 1-0 was a dangerous score they came up with good defense and finished the game with another clean sheet. The important thing was to get 3 points and they achieved this. Average is not that important when you get the result. They can easily do that against Gibraltar if they ever really need it.
Do you like Randal Kolo in this game? He's on the radar of big clubs after successful Eintracht Frankfurt adventure and we'll probably see him on the move in this Summer transfer window. Manchester United is interested and the number is rumoured to be £105 million.

I knew that France would have a hard time against Ireland, I even said before that they would win by a small margin, 1 or 2 at most, and that's what happened. In the Netherlands game they played fast and were a bit lucky, but against Ireland it is hard to say that they played very well despite having more possession. It was important for them to win and they did. The important thing is to get the 3 points. Otherwise, both teams had the same number of shots.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, needed to score as many goals as possible in order to recover the average after the defeat to France. It must be said that they played incredibly throughout the match. They almost showered the opponent with shots. They had 87 percent possession and 51 shots. Yes, 51 shots. An incredible statistic. 12 of those 51 shots were on target.

I think surprising result was happened on group H that one of the strong candidate in this group Denmark was lose from weak team Kazakhstan and about the game actually in the first half Denmark was leading the game 2-0 and i thought this will be more easy for them even i expect Denmark can added more goals but apparently Kazakhstan can performing better on the second half and make epic comeback and gets their first 3 points in this competitions and this is Kazakhstan first winning from Denmark

On the other hand i have seen Netherlands schedule today they will fight against weak team Gibraltar and i expect they can able to bounce back through this match after humiliated by France in the first match even if possible they should win by a big score

I think Denmark got beaten because they underestimated the performance of Kazakhstan as the weaker opponent. Right now Kazakhstan has become a strong opposition in group H because the energy seen in them after scoring the first goal by Baktiyor Zaynutdinov in the 73 minute I think that was a real morale booster that motivated the team to go ahead and equal the goal tally of Denmark before the winning goal was scored by Abat Aimbetov.

About the game involving Netherlands and Gibraltar, no two ways about it the game is going to be a walkover for Netherlands who will will unleash their anger on them after a great loss they suffered in the hands of France. The game will surely end in favour of  Netherlands with multiple goals I think we should expect 3 to 4 goals.
You're right. Denmark was too tough on Kazakhstan. In sports where mistakes are costly, never underestimate an opponent. Denmark must strive twice as hard to make up for this loss. Kazakhstan should be proud of their performance in group H. Maybe they'll return again.

Netherlands should beat Gibraltar. Netherlands will use this game to vent their frustration after an embarrassing loss. They'll win handily. They should score three to four goals. Gibraltar may also surprise us. Sports' versatility is wonderful.

My eyes are hurting when I watch the Netherlands play against Gibraltar. Seriously, this is one of the worst teams they ever had together with the worst coach. When you lose the first game 0-4 in the qualification and then Gibraltar is coming to your home stadium and also receives a red card at the beginning of the second half, how can you only score 3 goals as the Netherlands against Gibraltar? Anyone who watched the game at least partially, they have no ideas, no dynamic game, no creative positioning, nothing. If they play like this until 2024, they have no chance. That was one of the worst games I have seen from them so far.
well I also hope the Netherlands can play better than this. but my expectations seem too high. because in just over 39 minutes Gibraltar were down to just ten men. but the Netherlands was only able to score 1 additional goal in the 82nd minute. I think the current condition of the Netherlands is not very good. but even so still a 3-0 advantage is good enough. and I still appreciate it. but also doubt whether they will be able to win against a stronger national team. but to be honest I'm backing Greece and France for group B. I don't have high hopes for Holland after seeing this and the previous games.

I didn't watch that game but from the France - Netherlands game and seeing how bad Netherlands lost, you understand quickly that we are seeing a different team that we used to know... It is true Netherlands won with 3 goals to 0 but that score against Gibraltar which is playing with 10 players for almost the whole second half, is just ridiculous.
I agree that with the actual performance they cannot go far although its group isn't that hard if we don't count France.
