⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage

[Majestic-milf]

The goals keep pouring Cancico Inacio and Goncalo Ramos both players display in the game so far have been incredible with each of them scoring two goals in the match and Diogo Jota equally written his name on the scoreboard and Bruno being the one has supplied 4 assists out of the 7 goals. I was not expecting Portugal to be beating Luxembourg with such a goal margin. I'm really impressed with Cancico Inacio's performance in this game being such a young player.

This performance by Portugal shows they can do without Ronaldo and honestly I'm happy for the first time about it, because I doubt there would have been this much goals as all attention would have been on him, passes that should have converted to goals might be missed. They have shown serious dominance and if I were Luxembourg, I'd just stop playing if possible. Portugal have never scored up to nine goals in any international game and this is the first kind of victory of it's kind. With fifteen points already in the bag, their slot for the qualification has already been solidified and today's win was just the icing on the cake.
 Roberto Martinez will be proud of his boys as they have displayed unrivaled control and domination and I'm believing this will not just end here for them.

Portugal destroyed their opponent Luxembourg.Not satisfied with the 4 goals scored in the first half, Portugal scored 5 goals in 6 shots in the second half and managed to score 9 goals in total.We can say that it rained on their opponent as a rain of goals.Thus, Portugal, who made 6/6 in the group, has definitely guaranteed their exit from the group. In the other matches in the group, there were again matches where the hosts were defeated.Iceland managed to defeat Bosnia-Herzegovina with a last minute goal.Bosnia-Herzegovina dominated the match in general, but they failed to find a goal and this cost them a little bit.
Slovakia, on the other hand, won without difficulty against an easy opponent and with this win they moved into 2nd place.

Portugal is not all about Ronaldo, there are a lot of great players in their squad and their attacking power is better than ever. They have a great new generation, players like Ramos, Inacio and Felix are becoming casuals in the team along with Jota, Horta and Silva. This generation has possibility to achieve great things.
About Luxembourg game of course that's not a good opponent and it's not a test for Portugal but still they didn't lose any concentration and scored nine goals. Portugal already guaranteed to qualify after six games without any point loss. I believe they have a fairly good chance in the championship with this squad.

Exactly Luxembourg is not a footballing nation that would be considered a match against Portugal and thereby suggesting that the Portuguese can do without Ronaldo. Ronaldo has a very good scoring record against then and will be biting his tongue on why wasn’t involved in this match. If it was against a competitive nation then we can all say that they would definitely do without Ronaldo but as it stands now nothing because the listed players do not have enough experience to lead the attack in the absence of Ronaldo. So let’s not just be over the hills because of this match, this was what happen against Morocco in the last World Cup where the Fans wanted Ramos to start ahead of Ronaldo because he played well in the previous match before then.

Portugal has many star players and Cristiano Ronaldo is only one of their star players. His impact on the team has been decreasing recent years because of his ageing and his worse performances in general. This gives other players in Portugal more chances to prove their ability in the team.

In World Cup 2022, we saw Goncalo Ramos made a hattrick for the team in a match he was used as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. With Bernado Silva, Rafael Leao, Ramos, Felix, Portugal actually have many attacking players who can score goals for them when Cristiano Ronaldo is absent or even after his retirement. His future in the team even was in doubt after World Cup 2022 but after all he came back strongly and still played good for the team. I hope that he will have a happy ending with Portugal in Euro 2024 as it's unrealistic to hope he will retire his national career after World Cup 2026.

LOL.. until this point, Luxembourg was doing pretty OK. They managed to defeat Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland, and managed draw against Slovakia. But Portugal showed no mercy and absolutely destroyed them (still they should be proud of the fact that they have 10 points from 6 matches). And it was nice to see some of the younger Portuguese players performing well in this match. I am talking about Gonçalo Inácio, Gonçalo Ramos, João Félix and Diogo Jota. Qualification is not a worry now for Portugal. They are far ahead of the other teams.

For Portugal, this win marks their largest-ever margin of victory. Luxembourg has consistently been an opponent that Portugal dominates, and this is part of the reason why Ronaldo has scored many international goals against them. Although this time Ronaldo was absent, it's likely that if he were on the field, he would have scored at least four goals. However, Portugal's performance in this game wasn't much different their recent match against their opponent.

[rendravolt]

I already suspected that something like this would definitely happen and the big win with 9 goals made Portugal unbeaten in group H so far. The previous meeting last March, Luxembourg also lost badly to Portugal with 6 goals without reply and even though this happened again, I did not expect that there would be 9 goals scored. Luxembourg is very far from the level compared to Portugal and it's no wonder they couldn't score just 1 goal during the group phase against Portugal.

Without Ronaldo, it seems that Portugal will still be fine and Goncalo Ramos, as Ronaldo's replacement in this match, scored a brace. Other players such as Goncalo Inacio and Diogo Jota did not want to be outdone by also scoring 2 goals. Well, this is a very good result for Portugal and the next match will take place again later in October.

Goncalo Ramos is better than Joao Felix, the medias are overrating Felix and it make his market value is higher than Ramos.

I strongly believe Goncalo Inacio will join European club because they have a good ball control and good passing skill, he has show a good contribution in both Sporting and Portugal.

However it's really funny how Slovakia scored 3 goals in the first 6 minutes against Liechtenstein and then there's no goal anymore.

Joao Felix has a better career than Goncalo Ramos at the same time but after a big transfer to Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix career started to stuck and even became worse with time. He is still young enough to revive his career and after trying in Chelsea, he is trying again in Barcelona. I see Barcelona tactic is good for Joao Felix to show his best than Chelsea and Premier League that are not fitted with a player like Joao Felix.

Goncalo Ramos just moved to PSG that is a biggest club in his career so far. This season is challenging but important for Ramos and if he can prove himself in PSG, his career will step up to a higher level after this season. It will be a good continuation of his surprising success in World Cup 2022.

Luxembourg beat Bosnia and Iceland, so it’s difficult to call them a weak team, but it’s clear that Portugal is too strong a team for them, in two matches they conceded 15 goals from Portugal , this is kind of crazy. And despite this, they still have a chance of qualifying from the group, their main competitor will be Slovakia, with whom they have already played draw first leg, although I have little faith that Luxembourg will be able to do this.

Luxembourg is a weak team. You can't compare them with top teams such as Portugal, England and France. But it is true that their performance has improved by quite a lot, during the last few years. And now coming to Iceland and Bosnia, these are two teams that are on the decline. A few years back, Iceland surprised everyone when they qualified for the Euro Cup. But during the last 3-4 years, they have been on the decline. And for Bosnia, they have been performing like crap as Edin Džeko is getting old (he is 37 years now).

Luxembourg managed to beat Bosnia and Iceland because these two teams were below Portugal and could be said to be not much different from Luxembourg, whereas when they lost to Portugal it was because they faced a team that had quite a difference in strength, only conceding 15 goals in two matches against Portugal quite damaging for Luxembourg but it is still possible for them to qualify because they are behind the Slovakia with a difference of only 3 points.
Roberto Martínez played all of Portugal's young players very well and won with a big score, proving that Portugal has good enough young players to compete in the European Cup later.

Sweden and Austria will play today in the fifth round of qualification.

Austria is performing confidently in this qualification. So far, the national team has never lost - they have three wins and one draw. Austria shares first place in the group with Belgium.
Sweden has the third place in the group with six points, the team is four points behind the leaders.

If they managed to beat Iceland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, they could have scored in this game, but they didn't.Portugal played almost alone and destroyed the opponent.I think it's a miracle that Luxembourg got so many points from this group. Their opponents are not easy and in a way they got good points as you said.We can see this match as a proof to give more time to the young players.They are all talented and maybe at the beginning of the road.They seem to be ready now and they can finish in a good place this year.

Sweden has the third place in the group with six points, the team is four points behind the leaders.

This will probably be a crucial match for Sweden. If they can win, they will be only one point behind Austria. But the last time Sweden won a home match against Austria was ten years ago. I don't know if they can do it again today. Austria are probably the real favourites in this game.

Those guys are equal at this moment.

- Felix made 2 goals from 4 matches
- Ramos made 2 goals from 3 matches

It's only a slightly different between both but consider ramos's is younger than felix and that his stat is quite impressive. I dunno why those guys (felix and ramos) are not able playing the same in their football clubs.

I strongly believe Goncalo Inacio will join European club because they have a good ball control and good passing skill, he has show a good contribution in both Sporting and Portugal.

Inacio was good. Is not it sporting CP was european club since it's also based on portugal which was a part of EU?

Inaciao shows good performance against luxembourg by participating in scoring two goals against it. Underrated defender on his age.

Italy - Ukraine should be interesting game, it can be decisive game for both teams in fight for 2nd place. Italy looks like favorite, but they're not looking confident in this qualification, while Ukraine again England showed that they're capable to compete with top teams.

But during the last 3-4 years, they have been on the decline. And for Bosnia, they have been performing like crap as Edin Džeko is getting old (he is 37 years now).

Lol, nobody isn't talking that they're top level team, but they're not from lowest tier teams like Andorra or San Marino. Many Luxembourg players is plaing for good teams, so, it was difficult to see such brutal Portugal win coming.

Italy had bad start in this group but it is not strange with them. Even in big tournaments like World Cup and Euro, they usually begin very bad but if they go to knock out phase, they become a more dangerous team with their tactical art Catenaccio.

Italy still have chance to beat Ukraine and take a second position in this group that is enough for them. They don't have to mind too much about England that very likely already take a first position with very good first matches of this group. Italy had a draw against North Macedonia that is a disappointed debut for Spaletti but to assess him better, we need a big match like the one against Ukraine.

Italy must win against Ukraine if they don't want to miss two big tournaments within a few years, World Cup 2022 is a nightmare and they definitely don't want to have another one with Euro 2024.

Belgium are still trying as much as they can to be in their best and with what I saw in their last game I think they can make some amends with tonight's game against Estonia.
The visitors Estonia has just a point and I expect Belgium to hit the away team hard and get all 3 points without much stress just to sit at the top of that group but if they (Belgium) fail tonight and Austria manage to beat Sweden then they're going to be at second place and I don't think they want that, so the Belgium team should come all out after all the game is in their favor.
