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

[Ulven]

A clear penalty kick that was not announced or perhaps the VAR system was cancelled in these qualifiers. Despite the absence of Haaland, I believe that the Norwegian team is capable of coming back and scoring one or more goals.

No problems today for Scotland against Cyprus. Switzerland is already on a comfortable 0-3 lead at Belarus, so that can no longer go wrong. At Spain's match against Norway, Haaland will still want to show himself for his home country, in which he has not really been very successful. Surely there are a few Norwegian players who should be able to serve Haaland. Spain is normally too good but someone like Haaland can single-handedly decide a game for Norway. And Norway should mainly focus on the other games in the group as they are the favorites there. Being 2nd in this group is also a great result for Norway.

Haven't you kept up with the news regarding the Spain Vs Norway match? Erling Haaland was not played in their important match because he was injured, mate. So, please stop talking about Haaland in this match, because it's all going to be bullshit. Currently, Norway is only relying on their 3 important players. They are Alexander Sorloth, Elyounoussi and also Martin Odegaard. Let's see what they can do against Spain which has many stars there.

Yes, Haaland is not on the player list maybe this is why spain is so favorite statistics show that span controls the game and have scored one goal
While Norway did not make much effort especially without Haaland they are like losing a goal machine there is no other choice Norway will play defense
I predict that Spain will score more goals maybe 2 more goals in the second half and Norway may be without a goal.

The game is currently on with Spain leading wit a 1 goal, Norway currently no goal.
The match is about 44 minutes gone, and from the odds, I believe the majority is expecting Spain to win the match, Norway do have an attractive odd which is currently 33 at the time of typing this post, I decided to put a bet on it just incase by chance, the table turns in their favor, not expecting Norway to win, but like I said, just incase, and the money is small, I don't mind losing it.

With Haaland missing the best Norway could do is to keep a clean sheet for as long as possible, but I only saw maybe a 5% chance for Norway to even score without him. It could happen with the help of a little bit of luck, but this game is over in my opinion. If Spain takes the lead here, what can you do if you aren't dangerous enough in the box of Spain? Haaland also adds this element of surprise as he can score from almost any position. But Spain has a team again that is well formed and knows how to let the ball run within their own lines.

Agree. Croatia is consistently successful in the World Cups (they are less lucky in the European Championships as they meet the future winners of the tournament in the early stages) and are a strong team in general, so even if Wales is not bad, the quotes are fair.

Yep, competition at EURO is tougher than at WC as you have to beat some very serious team to even get out of the group stage, let alone win the whole tournament. Goode example of that was 2012 Euro when we were in the group with Spain and Italy that were later in the final. Worst of all, we played very good against both of those teams.

With Euro expanding to 24 teams these things will change now though, at least the part about getting out of the group stage.  

edit: well deserved lead

Third in the group was Croatia   (and by the way they scored only one point less than Italy).
In 2016, Croatia lost in 1/8 to the future champion - Portugal.
In 2020, Croatia lost to Spain (in extra time), which in turn lost to champions Italy in a penalty shootout.
In fact Croatia is an incredibly strong team with very good results. It is a pity that they could not take some kind of title, but this generation of players will be remembered by everyone for a long time to come.

Quite natural 1-0 after the first half and Croatia dominates in all respects.

I think this upcoming Euro is their last time around to try and get a trophy as their players are already of old age and most probably this will be their last tournament that they will play together before leaving the field to new talented players as Croatia has many of them ready to take over.

Wales is not a team to underestimate though despite me choosing Croatia and Romania as my bet of tonight as both teams are winning,I only regret not putting more money on them as I knew they would be almost sure bets.

In general, both France and Belgium easily beat the Netherlands and Sweden, as if they played not with the top teams, but with Malta or Luxembourg.

this is true
expected much more from Netherlands, although Gakpo was not there, and that looked as it would be an easier win for France
Belgium had Lukaku last night, and he smashed Sweden with three goals, didn't expect that as well

but all in all, Sweden and Netherlands looked more like Malta, than France/Belgium as top teams

I think it is more about how good France become, they found a golden generation and almost in every position they have star level of players, the roster they have could be one of the most expensive ever assembled in history, of course this is mainly due to inflation since Brazil also had some pretty great teams back in the day, but this is one of those times when there is a huge generation that should win a lot during their time and then they will retire one after the other.

We are lucky that it's early days of it, they are young now, we should be seeing at least 2 more world cups with this squad and they will be doing great in euro in between those periods as well.

[Ratash]

Spain team took the lead against Norway in the first half and they were very dominant but in this second half Norway team is putting quite a good performance and they are as dangerous as spain i think both teams can score if Norway manage to get the draw it will be a perfect oppening for these qualifications.

I actually think I heard that about the time of the last Euros, and certainly during the last World Cup

About 3 seasons ago also people started wondering if the age of older people dominating their sports was here -- this isn't even in football alone but in tennis and some American sports (Tom Brady retiring 4 or 5 times?).

I wonder in football how many young people got overlooked into their mid 20s because older players never seemed to lose their spots.

Turkey beat Armenia 2-1. Turkey scored all 3 goals in the match. The first goal was an own goal by Ozan Kabak. It is sad for him that he scored his own goal with a simple mistake. Although this slightly demoralized the team, the team managed to recover. At minute 34, Orkun Kökçü scored to make it 1-1. It was again turkey who started the second half fast. The changes worked and kerem made it 2-1. Turkey got an important 3 points.

[flipme]

Türkiye and Armenia will play in Group D, I'm looking forward to this match. It will be an interesting match due to the political situation between the two countries. We will see how much pressure the atmosphere of the match in Erivan will create on the players.
Enes Ünal is in great form in Spain. He can score today, too. There are no big players in Armenia. Under normal circumstances, Türkiye should win very easily, but I looked at the possible starting 11, it didn't seem like very good choices to me.
Türkiye's main rivals in this group are Croatia and Wales. Therefore, they must pass the Armenia matches without any loss and get 6 points.

The political tension between the two countries was also reflected in the match. Armenian fans were not very hospitable in this match. However, this is just a sport. I hope we will host them in Türkiye in the best way possible.

Also, I really liked the performances of Orkun and Enes in the match. Orkun is doing wonders in the Dutch  Eredivisie league. I have no doubt that he will play better for the Turkish national team as well. Enes also made an excellent assist. I think these two football players became the heroes of the night with their wonderful performances.

By the way, Armenia and Türkiye have met three times throughout history. Türkiye won all of these three matches. I think it's an important statistic, and it's about to turn into a psychological advantage

[swogerino]

What the f*ck did Croatia just do.After a spectacular second night for betting where all games came as expected Croatia got and drew at their home field in front of their fans against Wales.This is not a great start to their Euro 2024 campaign and I am not caring much about me losing my bet as I had placed little money in a parlay them with Romania to win but in general,when I just checked now and I saw that my balance did not grow I check my settled bet and saw the 1-1 draw,that is the biggest surprise of tonight results and normally these results will happen as otherwise how will the bookies make money.

[Oneandpure]

Lukaku's performance was really great. I agree with this. He made a hat-trick in the end even though his second and last goals were very comfortable to score for him. This should effect him very positively for his upcoming matches with Belgium and Inter both. But I still can't believe in him fully yet as he hasn't been in a good form for a long time. That long-running injury affected him in a really bad way.

I don't know why Ibrahimovic returned to the national team again by the way. He entered the match quite late though but still I wonder why. I think he should have stayed as retired from national football. Because he can't be very helpful for Sweden like in the past in my opinion.

Lukaku back to the top performance with national team after first hattrick in this years with Belgium against Sweden last match, has inconsistency performance with Inter Milan not problem for Lukaku after having confidence and success become man of the match for Belgium on first match UEFA Euro Championship Qualifying against Sweden.

I agree with you about Zlatan Ibrahimovic return back to national team, he has less contribution with AC Milan in this season due injured and last several matches he hasn't not more minutes playing. Better retired from national team and give chance for young player and he don't have great performance right now exactly after getting injured.

Very unexpected, if for anything, I expected Croatia to increase their advantage like Spain did in the final minutes of the game, they did the opposite and conceded.

Talking about Spain, it was a good game and an even better game for Joselu, who came in as a substitute for Alvaro Morata in the 81st minute on his first opportunity to represent his country and he did so beautifully scoring two great goals some minutes later to ensure that Spain sealed the victory. It is the sort of debut every player wishes for.

Do you doubt that Modric will play until the age of 50?   I don't think this guy is going to stop.

As for the change of generations and the results, it is impossible to guess how this will actually correlate. For example, I remember the golden generation of Portugal (the time of Figo), but it did not win anything in the end (although they were close in the final with Greece), but the later generation became European champions + the first winners of the Nations League. Maybe something similar will happen to Croatia, although I will even rejoice at their success at Euro 2024.

Meanwhile, the game unexpectedly ended 1-1 and a certain intrigue appears in this group.

It wasnt a draw on the end, it was a 3:0. The 2:0 and 3:0 came shortly before the end, but that doesnt matter. Gavi and Morata were not as strong as many had hoped. In the end, 32 year old Jose Luis Sanmartin Mato did it. With 13 shots on goal Fromm Spain, 3 goals is okay. Captain Martin Ödegaard Fromm Norway didnt make it today without Haaland and that was to be expected. The next match on Tuesday against Scotland will be interesting, they also won.

Like you and every other person predicted, game is over and Spain came out victory with 3 goals to 0, the latter in Favour of Norway..
I was an interesting match though, I wanted to do a fast one there, but Norway team was just too weak to challenge Spain who played like real professionals.

Anyways, the money lost wasn't and isn't a problem at all, like I said earlier, it was a very small amount, very insignificant to worry about, what's most important is that I had fun watching the game.

Spain eventually won 3-0, as they controlled the game's possessions, shots, shots on target, and pass accuracy. Norway had no chance of beating Spain this night; Spain played much better football than Norway. Joselu scored the final two goals in the 84th and 85th minutes. It was a great performance by Spain and a fantastic win for the team.

I was not surprised that France beat the Netherlands but I expected them to score when they were playing so well and had more possession. The Netherlands have also become a national team in form lately and they want to continue that. But it's a pity for them that they didn't score against France even though they had more possession and were in more positions. France already finished the match in the first half. After 3-0 it was a bit difficult to turn the game around and they couldn't do it.

France is one of the main contenders for victory on EURO 24, so almost everyone was confident in their victory. The Netherlands is also a good team, and although they played just as well and created dangerous chances, they failed to score. This is the merit of the defense of France, by the way, the Netherlands most often do not score in matches with France, and with the rest of the rivals it is difficult to find a match in which the Netherlands could not score at least one goal.

France is starting to look a bit like a US basketball team. They seem to be unrivaled, especially in athletics. Mbappe is already amazing but it's great to see Griezmann so happy and fit. Griezmann is a very different player, his contribution to defense and clean interventions are like a number 8, on the other hand, his finishing is very skillful, like a number 9, his game view is like a number 10... an interesting very different player. He has a very serious technical capacity. He's a cunning man, he has an intuition to really smell the goal, and a technique to make the final shot great. But his serves, his playmaking skills make it clear that he is not a striker. He also adds hard work to them.

[boltz]

2-0 for Romania vs Andorra and a great start for my national team who maybe , this time they will qualify once more to Euro and maybe who knows , get a victory. I know this victory looked easy but I've watched the entire game and even when Andorra played in 10 , Romania didn't have an exact vision of how to actually attack and produce important chances to score and therefore , I know we will struggle once more to find a way to qualify... but for now 3 points are great.

Spain is a strong team because Spain performed very well in the World Cup. Norway is a normal team to Spain in the European Championship.  Because Spain has famous players such as Gavi, Dani, Joselo, Spain only scored three goals. Norway lost due to a stroke of luck as Spain conceded 1 goal just 13 minutes into the game and 2 more just before the end of the game. Norway's luck was very bad because even though they were a normal team, they attacked very fiercely, Spain's shot, despite being very experienced, did not receive the ball, so Norway lost.  However, most of the match was spent on Spanish players.

Actually, it was not a difficult match for Spain considering the rank of both teams in the national teams FIFA ranking, but I expected better performance from Norway. The participation of Haaland could have given them a great boost. Unfortunately, he had an injury before this international break period and won't be able to participate in the next match either. On the other hand, it's a great result for the new Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, who has just started his career, although the real test would be the next Euro in 2024. Anyway, all the matches that were played today resulted in the same results that were expected by the odds, except the match between Croatia and Wales that ended in a draw, while Croatia was the favored team.
