Bosnia and Herzegovina beat Iceland 3-0 and made a good start to the group. When we look at the match, Iceland had more possession of the ball but they had problems in finding goals. Bosnia and Herzegovina had 12 shots in the first half. They played a good game in the first half and this actually won them the match. It was important for their morale that they scored 2 goals in the first half. Even if Iceland increased the pressure in the second half, it was Bosnia and Herzegovina who scored again.

No big surprises yesterday. Iceland is one of the teams that is renowned for making upsets, but they ran out of steam yesterday. After the two goals from Rade Krunić during first half, there wasn't much resistance from the Icelanders. In Group J, Portugal and Bosnia and Herzegovina have the maximum chances of qualifying to the next stage and initial victories will cement their position. Cristiano Ronaldo also scored yesterday, although it came from a penalty kick. Group H matches gave expected outcome, with Slovenia being able to defeat Kazakhstan and Danmark destroying Finland.

The most important match was between England and Italy and I was expecting Italy to win. But once again I was proved wrong w.r.t England and they won the match with relative ease. Italy couldn't do much despite the home advantage (the match was held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples).

Portugal and Bosnia are the main favorites to pass the group. For Portugal this will probobly be the easiest group ever for them to pass. I honestly expected more from Iceland and Slovakia. Slovakia cannot beat Luxembourg so i dont think they have any chances to pass the group if you cannot beat such weak teams.
Judging by the way Luxembourg played, I would not call it a weak team, on the contrary, the Slovaks were lucky that they played in a draw, because Luxembourg had chances to score. If Luxembourg will play the same with the other teams, they can beat Bosnia and Iceland, so the fight for the 2nd place will be tough in this group.

Iceland, however, has been playing very poorly lately, it seems they have already passed their peak.

Besides Kane and Declan Rice who scores goals and bringing England to earn first 3 points for europe qualification matches i have been notice one player who performing well and that is Bellingham and i have seen he can able to control England game with very well and no wonder if he became an hot commodity for Dortmund because since world cup he has showed good performance with England
His appearance which is quite brilliant in this qualification will increasingly the clubs who are interested in him continue to pursue him in order to get his service, maybe the price will be even higher, with his ability he will make a big contribution to his club, and this might be considered as one of the golden era for England because some of their young players are shining enough and can bring them to perform even better and make them one of the favorites to win the European Cup.

France vs Netherlands goes head-to-head tonight and this is the match that I think will be the most interesting to watch, as the rest of the matches will either be easier to predict the outcome of, or will even be one-sided matches which are not interesting to watch. France will be the favorites to win and Mbappe will be the main player for France to score and this will be his first debut as the French national captain. The most likely thing to do for the Netherlands in this match is to take one point especially France has not lost in the last five matches as the home team.

The Italy - England game was really nice by the way. I enjoyed watching this game and England made it to the victory by 2-1 finally at the end.

But the game was actually balanced about ball possession. Italy actually had so many more passes completed than England in this game. But this was still no hindrance for England to win here. Rice and Kane helped their team get 2-0 ahead already in the first half. After getting hopeful by dropping the score gap to one Italy had a chance. England even got a red card in the 80th minute but still they managed to secure the win. Italy could have been better than this.
I was really upset that I couldn't watch this big game because I fell asleep early. I think Italy will be able to win at home, but it seems that England is still strong enough for Italy in European competition. Even though the two countries played fairly evenly, England was superior in shots on target. Even after one of the English players received a red card, Italy was unable to do anything to equalize the match score. Gareth Southgate's squad are certainly very happy with this result and put England in position 1 of the temporary Group C standings.

Regarding Portugal, well what else did you expect against Liechtenstein? That's not even worth mentioning that Portugal with their squad beat Liechtenstein. Anything else would have been a massive disappointment of course.
Portugal is quite fortunate because it is in a relatively easy group, so when they can win from countries that are in the same group as them, it should be like that, it's not surprising, it can even be said that it's not an achievement, it will even make them look bad if they get a result. draw, so next week they will face Luxembourg it will also be a sure win unless something unexpected happens.

England won the match between Italy and England.  England won the match with goals scored in the first half. One goal came from a penalty. In the second half, England couldn't do anything. I can say they didn't even have a shot. Italy played on their own and scored a goal, but they couldn't beat them. It is a pity for them that Italy scored 1 goal in the second half despite having a great superiority with 70 percent of the ball possession.
I though Italy will win this match, because when they failed to play in the Qatar World Cup it will be an evaluation material and make Italy improve on the things that are lacking from them, but it turns out that it was England who coped well in the first half with two goals, the second half Italy's attempt was quite successful but despite facing 10 players in the last 10 minutes Italy failed to equalize to earn 1 point. The next match against Malta should be an easy win for Italy and I don't think that they would face any difficulties in this match.

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven to doubters that despite his age number, he still knows how to show up in important games and put up a great performance. In a night he made history to become men's football most capped player he justified the Portugal's new national team Coach decision in bringing him back to the squad by scoring a brace by which he took his international goals tally to 120 goals.

World Football and her fans are surely gonna miss this great artistry of a footballer when he finally decides to leave the stage. What a super human who's defiling age numbers to deliver football masterpiece

I have told this manytimes. The decision by Fernando Santos to replace Cristiano Ronaldo was not based on merit alone. There was a lot of ego issues between these two. And Santos got fired after his decision didn't worked well. Ronaldo once again shows that he is loyal to his country of birth and in order to represent Portugal in Euro qualifiers, he flied out of Saudi Arabia and joined the Portuguese squad in Lisbon. I don't think that anyone can question his commitment now, as he was ready to play this very insignificant match against Liechtenstein for his home country.

Italy's second half performance was pretty good but their awful first half performance cost them this loss. I like how strong England play at an away game. Southgate has prepared the team well.
I think England will finish this group first and Italy will be in second place, so both should have no worries. I don't see Macedonia or Ukraine to qualify. Malta will be the last team here.
The tournament became 24-teams instead of 16 so it's easier to qualify. We probably see all big teams in the tournament.
Italy is worrying.. I expected more from them and honestly not qualifying in this group will be a shameful ending.
England was better and they won 2-1 although playing with 10 players in the last 15 minutes of the game but Italy failed to profit from that.
Overall today's games ended with the favorite teams winning their games except Slovakia getting a draw vs Luxembourg.
Tomorrow there is interesting matches between Sweden - Belgium and France - Netherlands.
About Italy vs England i think Italy performing well even since first half they got several attempts to scores goals but unfortunately no goal for them until end of first half on the other hand England actually didn't gets much opportunities to scores but their players were clever and can take advantages from corner kick and penalty but i have to says England has more ready for this match than Italy and their mentally is very good especially in the last 10 minutes of the second half

Besides Kane and Declan Rice who scores goals and bringing England to earn first 3 points for europe qualification matches i have been notice one player who performing well and that is Bellingham and i have seen he can able to control England game with very well and no wonder if he became an hot commodity for Dortmund because since world cup he has showed good performance with England

The game between Italy vs England was just another game to not miss in this euro qualification, almost wanted to watch the highlight the second time, I enjoyed how the 3 Lions played, always pushing without holding back in the 1st half of the game. Getting the first goal motivated them [England] the more to find the back of the net to make it 0-2 at half-time.
 At 2nd half I almost thought it would be a draw after Italy pulled one back, it also went on till Luke Shaw was shown a red card but the 3 Lions fought really hard to maintain the lead. If the Man UTD scoring machine [Rashford] was in play I think it would have being a different thing, with his runs and scoring ability is something England missed in this game because I don't see the Italy doing much harm. I really don't know why the Italy team is getting weak, no hope of survival and they're just playing like they don't have anything to offer, just lack of energy per say.
England beat Italy by 2-1 margin in their opening Euro 2024 qualifier match. Italy haven't been the powerhouse they once were, and their performance on the day reflected that. It's certainly surprising to see them struggle so much, but it really makes you no wonder what led to their decline. Regardless of Italy's struggles, England managed to do enough to secure the win. I also enjoyed watching how the 3 Lions played. The current talent that England has is truly special, and I believe this is their best chance to win it all. Despite the victory, Jack Grealish missed an easy chance. On a positive note, Harry Kane managed to score yet another penalty and become England's all-time leading scorer. Congrats to him!

Italy seems like no change after do not participate in the world cup 2022, is happening again in euro 2024?
Maybe is not possible, because when we look at how they can't handle England players in their home, Italy seems to need full motivation to not create the same mistake in the Euro cup 2024. of course, it would be very strange if they don't participate again in 2024. their position is now under Malta, they must win all remaining matches if want to participate on 2024.

England has shown how strong they are. Defeating their biggest rival away is a harbinger that England will complete this group as the leader.
England winning Italy the defending European at home is not something that England supporters are used to. When they were down to ten men, I felt England were going to loose their lead because in the last ten minutes of the game, Italy doubled up the pressure to even just get a draw, but Southgates changes ensure the game ended in England's favour. Reece James was a good add in the final minutes to secure their lead. Harry Kane's goal sets a new record of him overtaking Rooney as England's leading all time goal scorer and he is not done yet. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham really linked up well in this game, they caused the Italian defense lost of trouble.

In Group J where Portugal is, they are off to a really good start, and it is good that Ronaldo scored twice. Portugal still need him for the few more years that he can give.
Gareth Southgate isn't getting praised as much as he deserves. The England manager has changed to the mentality of his English team and English football fans has really enjoyed football since he took over as their manager. He might not have won any trophy as many fans would wanted him to but his style of football is just scintillating. England didn't play their best football in the second half of the game but at the end they still got the maximum three points they needed. If Gareth Southgate continue to breed this young Three Lion's team, a major silverware will be won in no distant time

I agree with you but on the second thought, I think Gareth Southgate  needs to win a trophy for England before he can be praised. There has been an improvement in the England squad upon his arrival an young players has been raised and they are currently in good form now to make his team more solid to face an opponent. Winning against Italy today means so much for the English side because it's been decades since they recorded a win against Italy though they didn't play very well in the second half of the game but I still believe their ability to  score in the first half and then defend their goal till the end of the match makes the team a balance team.

But there never is a guarantee and you only have so much influence when it comes to winning trophies as a national coach. Everyone would now be very happy to be Didier Deschamps and have all the players available that he has available. When you have Mbappe and all those guys it is much easier. England has a good squad now but there never is a guarantee. A coach can still have some great achievements I think. If you reach the semi finals a couple of times during your career as a national coach, that's still something. Or the final, that doesn't mean it was a bad tournament, it is just that nobody will be talking about it in the future.

The first match of the day in group H was between Kazakhstan and Slovenia. Slovenia was the dominant side in the match. In the first half, Kazakhstan scored with only one shot on target. Slovenia started the second half fast. Slovenia, who equalized the situation by scoring an early goal early in the second half, scored the 2nd goal in 78 minutes and won the match 2-1. Since slovenia dominated the overall match, we can say that the side that played well won.
Denmark played well and won the match 3-1. It should be said that they played a dominant and beautiful football from the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Finland equalized the situation, but towards the end of the match, Denmark, who became more ambitious towards the end of the match, won the match with 2 more goals. Höjlund scored all 3 goals in the match and made a hattrick.

In the other match of the group, Northern Macedonia hosted Malta. Macedonia was the heavy favorite before the match. When we looked at the match, we saw that they played a dominant football. Although there were 10 shots in the first half, neither team had a shot on target. In the second half, Macedonia increased the pressure and found 4 hits and 2 goals in 11 shots. The goals came 6 minutes apart.
