2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers

[snipie]

Netherlands completely obliterated Turkey by a 6-1 score. It is a very embarrassing result for Turkey. I really don't know what happened to them. They were performing awesome before the Euro 2020. But something happened as of that tournament and here we are. Actually, they have powerful and talented players. Their game plan is just not working now. Maybe they can solve the problem with a better manager.

Neither me can understand what's going on there.. I can understand such result when facing Gibraltar, San Marino, Liechtenstein or some weak Eastern Europe countries but for Turkey, it is weird to see them failing but embarrassing themselves with such humiliating score is another achievement
France made it finally and Denmark + Norway demolished their opponents. Depay and Haaland made a hat-trick today.
For Wednesday's games they aren't that top with clear advantage for top teams imo.

I think the most surprising result was the tie between the Republic of Ireland and Serbia. I think all bookmakers would say Serbia would win the game, but they ended up tied 1-1. Thus Portugal is isolated in the leadership of the group.

yeah, I lost my money in this match. Serbia is a team strong enough. At least if we compare them with Ireland, we can see that they are stronger than Ireland. Moreover, Serbia's performance in the last few matches has been very stable. Moreover, I did not think that Bosnia would draw against Kazakhstan. I was hoping for Bosnia's victory.

Well nowadays even those teams can't be expected to get more than 3 or 4 goals as they can defend well. For sure even "weak Eastern Europe" teams these days can cause an upset.

I think they were too eager to win, and then I saw there was a red card and that was the end of it.

Depay is so much on fire and Haaland, no need to say!

I was quite happy when I learnt that Portugal now tops Group A. Before yesterday, they were at the second place, behind Serbia (due to goal difference). Now they have 13 points and Serbia is having 11. It would have been unimaginable, if Portugal somehow misses the qualification to Qatar 2022. Because this is supposed to be the last world cup outing for Cristiano Ronaldo. Hopefully Serbia can still qualify for the world cup even if they get relegated to the second position (3 out of the 10 second placed teams would qualify).

RIP, Turkey. What a sweet revenge by Netherlands - 6:1. I expected Netherlands to win confident, but not that much.
Croatia 3:0 Slovenia - what a confident win, impressive.
Denmark 5:0 Israel, amazing Denmark dominance. And what a great atmosphere in full Copenhagen stadium what brings great memories from EURO 2020.
Norway beat Gibraltar 5:1, but scored goal is big achievement for Gibraltar - it doesn't happen that often.
Scotland win in Austria isquite unexpected. And Austria is one of the most not successful teams in betting for me.
Bosnia and Herzegovina - Kazakhstand game ended 2:2 and Kazakhstand managed to equalise score on 95th minute.

you forgot one more game: faroe islands vs republic of moldova
i am very pleased that the small island nation can finally be happy about a victory and score 2 goals at the same time

and today the next qualifying matches will take place among others poland vs. england
here i see the english as favorites and think that they will win the game narrowly

France made it finally.

France's performance in the last 5 matches was not good. They have performed very poorly. They drew 1-1 with teams like Bosnia and Ukraine. They have an extraordinary squad. Yet I do not understand the weakness of this squad. Despite having such a strong squad, it is very difficult for them to win against a weak team. If such performances continue, they must change coaches. They beat Finland 2-0, I want to give full credit to Griezmann.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - Kazakhstand game ended 2:2 and Kazakhstand managed to equalise score on 95th minute.

it was a shocker for most of my bets
did not much hopes when Kazakhs scored for a lead, but after turnover from Bosnia, I did not think about equalizing, but it happened eventually
Bosnia had good score in France, but trashed it with draw against Kazakhstan, and their chances to qualify are next to zero now

interesting for that group, except France winning some matches, only Finland managed to beat Kazakhstan at home, all other matches ended up as draws, unbelievable

Croatia finally played a very good game, probably the best since 2018  World cup in Russia and convincingly beat Slovenia 3:0.
 It seems that Croatia once again has a young and strong team, ready for great results at world competitions.
Croatia and Russia will decide the winner of the group in a mutual match.

Indeed. Croatia didn't play this much good for a long time. This might be the time for them to gather themselves up. They totally destroyed Slovenia by playing really great and not giving much chance to their opponent. I missed to watch the old Croatia that were one of the toughest opponents. Maybe they can start getting back to those days. However, it is not very healthy to say this only considering one of their games. Let's see what they will do in the next games later.

I think the Poland vs England match could also be interesting... England are likely to win, but it could just as easily be a draw! Poland is a strong team in my opinion! Although England's game stats are very good...
Also it will be interesting to see the result of Greece vs Sweden! These teams are about the same...

The list of today's games:

Group B: Greece vs Sweden, Kosovo vs Spain
Group C: Italy vs Lithuania, Northern Ireland vs Switzerland
Group E: Belarus vs Belgium, Wales vs Estonia
Group I: Albania vs San Marino, Hungary vs Andorra, Poland vs England
Group J: Armenia vs Liechtenstein, Iceland vs Germany, North Macedonia vs Romania

Who do you think will win?

The teams that have a big chance to win or will definitely win easily are like this in my opinion. It is a good opportunity for Italy by the way. They have been drawing with their opponents for two games. The supporters are not happy about these results. It is time to end this by defeating Lithuania by a decent gap like France did to Finland. And I think that the game of the day is Poland vs England. England are the favorite side here but they need to watch out for the Lewandowski threat.

Both Poland and England seem very confident. Both teams are in good form. Their performance in the last few matches is admirable. The good news for the Polish team, however, is that players like Sancho, Rashford and Philip Foden will not be taking part in the match. Poland has a chance to win. However if Sterling and Kane are in the form they are enough to knock out the Poland team.

Of all matches only Poland vs England is interesting Here we will see the best European strikers destroy each other who else if not Lewandowski vs Kane
Lewandowski is in high confidence while Kane has not shown the best performance so far But Kane got support from other England players
I was not surprised there would be many goals at least 3 goals I will try luck there also hope the two players are played.

I don't think England missing a few players will be an issue. Like a top club team, they have a lot of strength in depth and most of their players can be replaced by others of similar ability. If you're picking three behind the striker and excluding those you've mentioned, you could for example choose: Sterling, Grealish, Mount... and this would be just as good, if not better.

Lewandowski could be key for Poland. If you have a player of that calibre in your side, you always have a chance against anyone.

Just came here to post this
We were really good yesterday, our attacking play finally looked exciting and I really enjoyed one of our games after a while.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that we have a great young team, overall I feel this generation is a lot weaker than the previous one. Ivanušec will be great, Gvardiol probably as well, but overall there are a lot of average players. We will have a lot of problems especially in defence, both Vida and Lovren are old and Ćaleta-Car is the only option to play alongside Gvardiol.

Yes it was a surprising result because serbia seemed much stronger before and during the game they dominated with huge amount of chances which unfortunatelly missed and if it wasnt for the own goal they woulve won and it seems that portugal are going to take the first spot in this group but there were other unexpected results like kazakhistan equializer in the last minutes against bosnie that was the most surprising for me but still that group is still a competitive one.

The list of today's games: Who do you think will win?

We got some pretty interesting matches today. I placed a few bets earlier today on the following outcomes:

1. Greece vs Sweden
2. Kosovo vs Spain
3. Italy vs Lithuania
4. Northern Ireland vs Switzerland
5. Belarus vs Belgium
6. Wales vs Estonia X
7. Albania vs San Marino
8. Hungary vs Andorra
9. Poland vs England X (Robert Lewandowski will score twice tonight!)
10. Armenia vs Liechtenstein
11. Iceland vs Germany
12. North Macedonia vs Romania X

The matches in the World Cup qualifiers are always good for a surprise. In particular, I trust the German team to draw or lose tonight, even though my BTC is on a clear win, of course. 

[joker_josue]

9. Poland vs England X (Robert Lewandowski will score twice tonight!)

If that prediction really comes to pass, then we have a great football game to watch. 

Even so, I think England are better able to win this game than Poland.
