2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[Slow death]

I would say that Netherlands is simply finished in this match

the game ended, Is a nightmare for netherlands, turkey managed to score 4 goals and conceded only two goals, knowing that in this group they have:

Gilbraltrar (very weak)

Latvia (very weak)

Montenegro (also weak)

Norway (also weak)

I think Turkey could finish first in that group

I wouldn't bet against Turkey that easily, I mean they managed to beat last champion France in the groups, and they managed to get out for euro cup as well, that seems like a thing that could still happen for Netherlands as well. Don't get me wrong I think Netherlands is the better team here, but I also assumed Turkey would lose to France as well but they didn't.

So that is why I think it will definitely be the most exciting game of tomorrow, because we do not know which Turkey will show up, the one that missed world cup, or the one that beat France? Both of them are different ones and that is why I think it is going to be a bit different this year. Slovenia and Croatia will be a close one as well if you ask me and Serbia Ireland game could be close as well, I just do not know what will happen with those three games, they look closer than anything else.

Bet365 has Turkey at 10/3, and Netherlands at 3/4. It is really surprising. I would not agree with these odds. The gambling sites are under-estimating Turkey. A good strategy would be to place two bets on this match. One for a win by Turkey (10/3, i.e 4.33) and the second one for draw (14/5 or 3.80). I believe that there is a very high chance for either of these two outcomes. BTW, France vs Ukraine also looks interesting.

Thank you for having share this nice value bet but please next time specify the odds in the international format (ie the continental/european one) since the beginning of your post, you did it in the middle of your post but people don't always read each lines of all posts unfortunately.   Thank you very much

Turkey win was big surprise. Their lead 2:0 after first half didn't reflected game because Netherlands played better. Netherlands made comeback from 3:0 to 3:2 when they scored 2 goals in minutes, but it wasn't enough, Turkey scored 4th goal after few minutes.
Belgium - Wales probably most interesting game tonight. But odds for Belgium win is just too low. Sames as France win against Ukraine.
Slovenia - Croatia should be interesting. Croatia are favorites, but I don't think going to win this game.
I'm betting on Montenegro win tonight @1.72. Latvia are just playing terrible even against their own level teams. Montenegro isn't world class team, but they are much better.

France scored, was offside from Pavard I think.
Great idea not using Var.

1-0 so far

The bad thing about these matches in the Qualification is that there is no VAR used.

From tomorrow games I don't see any particular interesting game to watch on Tv.The stronger teams are playing against weaker ones so in theory they should win.I am not going to bet though as surprises have happened all the time in the qualifiers.

I would say Spain versus Greece could be something that would be positively entertaining. Sure Spain is the favorites for that game but that doesn't change the fact that we could actually have something that is entertaining in our hands.

Germany and Iceland game could be fun as well, I know that Germany is a team that's unlike any other and they have always been that way, there is even a saying called "football is a game played by 22 people and won by Germans" in our language, so that is why I think Germany is clear favorites there as well but Iceland is a weird team that could lose to faroa islands but beat Germany, they are really unexpectedly good whenever they play a good team. So I think those two would be good, I would say it would take a while, but it would actually be fun to watch and I will be doing that as much as I can if I can get some time off from work.

Croatia started very badly in defense of the world silver medal from Russia 2018.
After the first half, they losing 1:0 from Slovenia with a very bad game.
I hope they wake up in the second half.
Modric is probably the best player in the match but that is not enough.

Yes but Ukraine has also scored too unfortunately at the 57', an own goal from Kimpembe precisely (the first french goal was from Griezmann at 19'). 10 minutes to go before the end of the 90' now

1-1 so far

France -Ukraine was good game to watch. I think that France started 2nd half a bit sleepy and it let Ukraine to get some confidence. And when Ukraine scored their goal, France literally stopped to playing on that attack in defense.
Portugal made 29 shots and 15 shots on target, but only managed to win after Azerbaijan own goal.
Cyprus - Slovakia draw was little surprise for me.
And Slovenia win against Croatia, well before game I said that I don't expect Croatia win, despite that they were favorites according to bookmakers.

The bad thing about these matches in the Qualification is that there is no VAR used.

And seems that referees don't know how to work without VAR anymore.

Portugal won only 1-0 with Azerbaijan. My expectation was a victory with at least 3 goals, Azerbaijan is over rank 100 in the world.
Whatever 3 good points for them.

Belgium won too.

The big news is a victory for Norway 3-0..... WITHOUT HAALAND goals

Portugal made 29 shots yet (14 on target), the biggest number of the evening yet. That's the same numbers as Norway who won 0-3 against Gibraltar. I don't understand how they could score only one goal(an own goal moreover) with 29 shots and 10 corners.

Common situation with Portugal ... when playing with theoretically very weak teams, you cannot have the right motivation to score many goals.

Türkiye was so good today and even though the match started very slow it turned around to a six goals game. First goal of Burak Yılmaz was a lucker, it wasn't a powerful shot but Netherlands defender change the direction of ball. Second goal was a cheap penalty, I don't know what Netherlands defence think about doing that move in penalty area. They deserved that loss with that play. Second half was better for fans, we watched more attacks and faster game. I don't think this win is a surprise, Türkiye's squad is better than Netherlands. If they finish first that would be only normal consequence.

Netherlands was pathetic yesterday. During the injury time, they got a penalty kick and Memphis Depay wasted it. If they had scored, they would have taken the score to 4-3 and might have had enough time to pull one more to make it 4-4. In the second half, they managed to score twice in two minutes (Davy Klaassen and Luuk de Jong), but then once again ran out of gas after Hakan Calhanoglu scored the 4th goal for Turkey.

The Turkey vs Netherlands match did create a lot of goals, but it was very painful for me as a Netherlands supporter. I agree that the Netherlands
plays very badly, conceding 4 goals is not something that can be accepted by me as a Netherlands supporter. The Netherlands game was
very bad, especially at the back. Especially in the Netherlands back line it could not stop the Turkish players,  they easily entered the Netherlands
defense. Although the Netherlands controlled the ball possession, but it could not make the Netherlands win the match. As a Dutch supporter,
I have to admit that the Netherlands deserves to lose. Hopefully the next match Netherlands can improve the quality of its game.

The Netherlands defense was in bad shape. They had almost 65% possession and after Burak Yılmaz scored the first goal the Dutch were so desperate to make the scores level that they ignored their own defense. On top of that the Dutch defenders took out their frustration in the form of fouls. And that gave Turkey the second goal in the form of penalty kick. And when Netherlands got the penalty kick, they wasted it.

a lot of interesting matches yesterday, skipped betting due to other activities, but looking at scores, nothing unusual, maybe Slovenia win over Croatia is a bit unexpected, and would give them a bit harder time to qualify, with Russia and Slovakia there as well
France did not win home match with Ukraine, but these two are clear favorites in their group, so does not matter that much
Serbia scored important win over Ireland, after early goal by Ireland, but Mitrovic scored two goals to overturn the score in the second half, will be interesting as well, with Portugal in the group

[swogerino]

Most of the games of yesterday ended as predicted with the stronger teams winning their games.A few exceptions for me was the lost game of Netherlands and also that of Croatia.Today games looks easy on paper too and I think there is money to be made here.

Frank de Boer need to select some better players. He keep on selecting older players who arent playing that often at their club. Why keeping Babel in the team??

Slovenia-Croatia was really interesting, yes. Croatia actually played much better after conceding the goal but they couldn't manage to score.
France surprised me very much by not being able to defeat Ukraine. It was actually an easy match for them but they were terrible on finding the target (3/18).
Serbia-Ireland was a great match. Serbia made an awesome comeback and managed to defeat them 3-2.
