I hope not. this has taken on another dimension.
The captain's armband Cristiano Ronaldo threw on the pitch ended on humanity auction in Serbia. All money raised here will be forwarded for the treatment of 6-month-old baby Gavrilo Djurdjevic(needs 2,500,000 euros for the treatment, yes 2.5 million).
The current best bid (2 days left) is 5 million RSD, which is equal to 42700 eur.

If this is true a solidarity auction and then if the money goes to whoever they say it is, I think it is a very good attitude!
Whoever kept the armband, did not think to keep it as a souvenir or to get tired, but thought of helping others. Very good!

as far as I have seen, the auction is supported by a humanitarian organization that organizes fundraising for this sick baby. they are officially registered and have been operating for a long time.
This is the local auction service, something like eBay on global.
The great thing that some serious people got involved here. The current bid is 7.500.060 RSD which is equal to ~60000 €

The return of Ibrahimovic in Sweden national kit might play as a huge supports for young stars as Isak and Kulusevski. In first two matches, Ibra shows his leadership role very impressive and I feel like Ibra in end of his thirties and his career does not care much about goals.

He contributes more into the tactics and passes for his team mates.

If Ibra can help his young team mates to play successfully in EURO 2021, he can retire in his national kit with a big success. Even he won't win any title with his national squad.

Isak, a new young rising star in Sweden

Turkey has made two very successful football match in WCQ.They beat the Netherlands 4-2, beat Norway 3-0.Turkey can surprise Euro 2021.They also defeated France in the qualifiers.This summer will be very exciting.

The Turkish national team starts the qualifying round well, but after that it starts to lose points. This happens every time. I hope this time they will not lose points in games with weak teams.

You are right.Yesterday the Latvia match ended 3-3.They lost 2 points, which was considered very important.If they lose points against Montenegro as well, this good start will not work. They got 6 points from the hard teams.  They give points to easy teams. I still think it will be a successful team in Euro 2021.

As expected, Turkey lost points in the game with Latvia. Latvia turned into a very inconvenient opponent for the Turkish national team, although according to the game Turkey should have confidently won this match.

@Kassex I wasn’t expecting Turkey to drop points after their strong start in the tournament, and I’m disappointed that they didn’t build on their strong performance and dropped valuable points. Also what do you’ll think will England win tonight, because I’m expecting them to easily win their game against Poland.

England at this moment is even one of the most highly rated teams to win the EURO, so they have an obligation to win today.

In the other games, I think Germany will win easily. As well as Spain, France and Italy.

After 1st half,

Germany is losing 
France only 0-0
Spain and Italy are winning.

Some surprising results so far.

Italy is a good team with mediocre players, remind me of Leicester.

Final results for Wednesday matches in 2022 World Cup Qualifying Round one.

Spain 3-1 Kosovo
Lithuania 0-2 Italy
Bosnia and Herzegovina 0-1 France
England 2-1 Poland
Germany 1-2 North Macedonia

It is not a good match day for big teams: France and Germany lost. Germany even lost in their home stadium and one of scorers from Macedonia is Goran Pandev who still plays well in his very ending seasons. It is the first defeat of Germany in qualifying round after 20 years.

England win against Poland and Lewandowski will be another great striker who can not have sweet memory with his national team.

It is a great sadness to see teams like Germany with odds 1.10 being beaten by teams like North Macedonia with 21 odds.I would never bet on a team with 21 odds as this win with such odds happens rarely.I am sorry for all the bettors who were let down by Germany yesterday.

Germany lost their but Timo Werner stole the headlines in my own country with his inexcusable miss just before Macedonia scored their 2nd goal.

If Timo Werner had converted the chance then the game's outcome could so easily have been different, but these things happen.

Meanwhile France were eventually able to come up with a winner with a goal from Greizmann.

Germany is still rebuilding since the last World Cup, it's not an easy task to achieve, Italy took 8 years of rebuild and even now is not full of talents but they have a good team spirit.
Some nations are just blessed.

France for example will dominate for the next decade even in their under 19-21 team they have some players who can be in the top 10 of their role in the next few years like

Camavinga
Konaté
Koundé

Not a bad generation of them.

I have to swallow my words! Germany lost, and was almost humiliated.   

Playing this type of game, you won't even make it past the group stage, the EURO 2020/1.

[zidanw]

I remember that germany did it also horrible during the world cup in 2018. Eliminated in the group stage. if i am not mistake defeated by south korea or japan.

They will make it on the experience of players and powerfull country they will go to the next stage but will fight hard and need to get their game straight

Great news for all football fans!
''Uefa has confirmed that eight of the 12 host cities for this summer's Euro 2020 will have spectators attending games.''
Spectators will be able to attend matches in the following cities: London, Glasgow, Dublin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, St Petersburg, Bilbao, Munich, Budapest, Baku, Rome and Bucharest.
Confirmation is still pending for these 4 cities: Munich, Rome, Bilbao and Dublin.
I hope that the fans will be able to go to the stadiums in those cities as well, because the matches with and without spectators are really not the same.
It's really sad to watch all those great and exciting matches in the Champions League without spectators, in complete silence.

Yep, Rome is not confirmed yet, it will be probably confirmed or not depending on how the vaccine is going in.
So far in Italy, we have not enough doses so I think it will be a 50-50.

The target is to have 60% of the population vaccinated (2 doses) for the summer and we are far away from that target.

[kassex]

Baku will provide 50% of the stadium's capacity, which is 35,000 seats. Plus, there will be no quarantine for visitors. It will be possible to buy a ticket from May. Welcome to Baku!

We just hope that the COVID-19 will not spoil these plans! This has taken so many turns. 
We'll see.

Playing the Euro 2021 championship with the fans in the stadium makes the tournament more enjoyable. Turkey will appreciate it most. Because they plays 2 matches will be played in Baku. Baku, both close to Turkey, as well as the people of Azerbaijan supports Turkey. Of course, Turkey, will play their first match against Italy in Rome for they will also be at a serious disadvantage. This tournament will be very exciting.
