Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven to doubters that despite his age number, he still knows how to show up in important games and put up a great performance. In a night he made history to become men's football most capped player he justified the Portugal's new national team Coach decision in bringing him back to the squad by scoring a brace by which he took his international goals tally to 120 goals.

World Football and her fans are surely gonna miss this great artistry of a footballer when he finally decides to leave the stage. What a super human who's defiling age numbers to deliver football masterpiece

I have told this manytimes. The decision by Fernando Santos to replace Cristiano Ronaldo was not based on merit alone. There was a lot of ego issues between these two. And Santos got fired after his decision didn't worked well. Ronaldo once again shows that he is loyal to his country of birth and in order to represent Portugal in Euro qualifiers, he flied out of Saudi Arabia and joined the Portuguese squad in Lisbon. I don't think that anyone can question his commitment now, as he was ready to play this very insignificant match against Liechtenstein for his home country.

[Strongkored]

Regarding Portugal, well what else did you expect against Liechtenstein? That's not even worth mentioning that Portugal with their squad beat Liechtenstein. Anything else would have been a massive disappointment of course.

Portugal is quite fortunate because it is in a relatively easy group, so when they can win from countries that are in the same group as them, it should be like that, it's not surprising, it can even be said that it's not an achievement, it will even make them look bad if they get a result. draw, so next week they will face Luxembourg it will also be a sure win unless something unexpected happens.

England won the match between Italy and England.  England won the match with goals scored in the first half. One goal came from a penalty. In the second half, England couldn't do anything. I can say they didn't even have a shot. Italy played on their own and scored a goal, but they couldn't beat them. It is a pity for them that Italy scored 1 goal in the second half despite having a great superiority with 70 percent of the ball possession.

I though Italy will win this match, because when they failed to play in the Qatar World Cup it will be an evaluation material and make Italy improve on the things that are lacking from them, but it turns out that it was England who coped well in the first half with two goals, the second half Italy's attempt was quite successful but despite facing 10 players in the last 10 minutes Italy failed to equalize to earn 1 point. The next match against Malta should be an easy win for Italy and I don't think that they would face any difficulties in this match.

[rendravolt]

The Italy - England game was really nice by the way. I enjoyed watching this game and England made it to the victory by 2-1 finally at the end.

But the game was actually balanced about ball possession. Italy actually had so many more passes completed than England in this game. But this was still no hindrance for England to win here. Rice and Kane helped their team get 2-0 ahead already in the first half. After getting hopeful by dropping the score gap to one Italy had a chance. England even got a red card in the 80th minute but still they managed to secure the win. Italy could have been better than this.

I was really upset that I couldn't watch this big game because I fell asleep early. I think Italy will be able to win at home, but it seems that England is still strong enough for Italy in European competition. Even though the two countries played fairly evenly, England was superior in shots on target. Even after one of the English players received a red card, Italy was unable to do anything to equalize the match score. Gareth Southgate's squad are certainly very happy with this result and put England in position 1 of the temporary Group C standings.

[Strongkored]

Besides Kane and Declan Rice who scores goals and bringing England to earn first 3 points for europe qualification matches i have been notice one player who performing well and that is Bellingham and i have seen he can able to control England game with very well and no wonder if he became an hot commodity for Dortmund because since world cup he has showed good performance with England

His appearance which is quite brilliant in this qualification will increasingly the clubs who are interested in him continue to pursue him in order to get his service, maybe the price will be even higher, with his ability he will make a big contribution to his club, and this might be considered as one of the golden era for England because some of their young players are shining enough and can bring them to perform even better and make them one of the favorites to win the European Cup.

France vs Netherlands goes head-to-head tonight and this is the match that I think will be the most interesting to watch, as the rest of the matches will either be easier to predict the outcome of, or will even be one-sided matches which are not interesting to watch. France will be the favorites to win and Mbappe will be the main player for France to score and this will be his first debut as the French national captain. The most likely thing to do for the Netherlands in this match is to take one point especially France has not lost in the last five matches as the home team.

Bosnia and Herzegovina beat Iceland 3-0 and made a good start to the group. When we look at the match, Iceland had more possession of the ball but they had problems in finding goals. Bosnia and Herzegovina had 12 shots in the first half. They played a good game in the first half and this actually won them the match. It was important for their morale that they scored 2 goals in the first half. Even if Iceland increased the pressure in the second half, it was Bosnia and Herzegovina who scored again.

No big surprises yesterday. Iceland is one of the teams that is renowned for making upsets, but they ran out of steam yesterday. After the two goals from Rade Krunić during first half, there wasn't much resistance from the Icelanders. In Group J, Portugal and Bosnia and Herzegovina have the maximum chances of qualifying to the next stage and initial victories will cement their position. Cristiano Ronaldo also scored yesterday, although it came from a penalty kick. Group H matches gave expected outcome, with Slovenia being able to defeat Kazakhstan and Danmark destroying Finland.

The most important match was between England and Italy and I was expecting Italy to win. But once again I was proved wrong w.r.t England and they won the match with relative ease. Italy couldn't do much despite the home advantage (the match was held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples).

Portugal and Bosnia are the main favorites to pass the group. For Portugal this will probobly be the easiest group ever for them to pass. I honestly expected more from Iceland and Slovakia. Slovakia cannot beat Luxembourg so i dont think they have any chances to pass the group if you cannot beat such weak teams.

Judging by the way Luxembourg played, I would not call it a weak team, on the contrary, the Slovaks were lucky that they played in a draw, because Luxembourg had chances to score. If Luxembourg will play the same with the other teams, they can beat Bosnia and Iceland, so the fight for the 2nd place will be tough in this group.

Iceland, however, has been playing very poorly lately, it seems they have already passed their peak.

Iceland, however, has been playing very poorly lately, it seems they have already passed their peak.

Iceland is a country of just 300,000 people. You can't expect them to beat top sides everytime they play. They had their moments in the past, but as you have mentioned, it looks like now they are well past their peak. Now I guess there is a lot of expectation from them as well, as a result of all the upsets that they performed in the past. I would still say that they are playing not that poorly now. Compare their performance with other nations with similar population size such as Andorra and Luxembourg. Iceland is still performing at a better level compared to these countries.

Luxembourg's population is more than 600 thousand people, we can say twice as many as Iceland's, so the potential in Luxembourg is very big!
But the population of Andorra is 80 thousand people, almost 3 times less than Iceland, so Andorra is probably closer to Liechtenstein and they have less chance to play well at the international level.

In general the example of Iceland is a good example that in the 21st century the gap between top teams and other national teams is narrowing, yes there are 3-4 leaders, like France, Brazil, Argentina, England, who are much better than the rest, but now Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Luxembourg for example are almost equal to Iceland, so the competition is growing and for ordinary fans it's very good.

It was important for their morale that they scored 2 goals in the first half. Even if Iceland increased the pressure in the second half, it was Bosnia and Herzegovina who scored again.

Even without a key player (Edin Dzeko), they can win this match and beat Iceland absolutely. Even though basically Bosnia & Herzegovina didn't have dominance in this match, they attacked more, this can be seen from the number of attempted shots they made and also shots on goal. With this result, they closed their match in second place in Group J standings, below Portugal with a 4 goals because they managed to beat Liechtenstein with 4 goals without conceding.

[JooBra]

For me the most interesting group will be group G where we have almost all teams at same level. Serbia isa bit ahead in terms of quality but they always had internal problems between the players. I think which team plays good away will have best chance to advance.

It would be historically catastrophic if Portugal doesn't win against Luxembourg! But even for the game against Liechtenstein the bookmakers expected 6-7 goals. I think a 4-0 isn't even a good result for Portugal.

Italy against England was as expected in my opinion. England played a very solid World Cup whereas Italy couldn't even qualify. England's team is strong and no players were missing as far as I know or at least not many. For me England is one of the favorite teams for the upcoming Euro. I don't really see any reason why they shouldn't be considered a favorite.

At 38 years of age, he is still capable of showing extraordinary qualities. what always amazes me with Cristiano Ronaldo is that he always manages to execute a final kick into a goal. and this year I have witnessed 2 extraordinary free kicks that have been scored by cristiano Ronaldo's kick, namely at Al-Nassr and recently in the Portugal vs Liechtenstein match. I am happy that Cristiano Ronaldo has shown his loyalty to Portugal.

A strong pairing, two top teams. So I expect an interesting game from both teams. France's veterans Hugo Llaurice, Karim Benzema and Rafael Waran have all left the team. But Deschamps' squad remains strong without them.

Both teams are in good form and have strong players in their squads. But my preference is for the Frenchmen. Deschamps' team will play at home. I think France will win in a hard fought game, probably with a minimum score.

I am not impressed with the Netherlands performance at the World Cup, so I also predict that France will win today. Although I agree that the Netherlands is a strong team. The key factor will be that France play at home. By the way, the last meeting was won by the Netherlands. Therefore today will be a revenge game.

I don't like France team because they always beat my country (Croatia) but I agree that they are favorites in this game. As a runner up in the World Cup I would say that they are pretty big favorite and the bookies think that also. Odds are 1.7 on France winning and 4.5 on Netherlands. It's interesting how many big games we have right in the first round of the qualifications.

120 goals is with friendlies, in official matches he has 100 goals, which, however, also a record and a phenomenal result.

It is too early to think about his "soccer pension", at least he should play Euros and maybe even the next World Cup. Ibrahimovic at 41 years old is still scoring, and Ronaldo probably even in better shape than Ibrahimovic, so a couple of years more Ronaldo sure will play, the main thing that in the championship of Saudi Arabia not to get lost.
Although knowing his character I am sure he will play to his potential everywhere and show great results even there.

It would be historically catastrophic if Portugal doesn't win against Luxembourg! But even for the game against Liechtenstein the bookmakers expected 6-7 goals. I think a 4-0 isn't even a good result for Portugal.

Italy against England was as expected in my opinion. England played a very solid World Cup whereas Italy couldn't even qualify. England's team is strong and no players were missing as far as I know or at least not many. For me England is one of the favorite teams for the upcoming Euro. I don't really see any reason why they shouldn't be considered a favorite.

It was an easy win for Portugal because Liechtenstein showed no sign of wining the game. For a team that made it to the world cup in 1998, it was a very poor performance. It is clear that the national team have not improved. The sixth smallest nation in the world with a population of about 39,039 can attract players from other countries that could join their national team because it is clear that they lack talented players. It's great to see the mighty Ronaldo scoring two goals including a classic free kick.

The Italian team's attack was a total mess they only managed to get one shot on target. Even after Shaw got a red card in the 80th minutes they failed to maximize this deficit in the English team. Roberto Mancini needs to do a lot of work on the Italians because they need to put up good performances when they meet big teams. It was a big win for Gareth Southgate after a commendable performance in the world cup.

Eagerly anticipating the France vs Netherlands encounter this evening, aren't you? As am I! It's bound to be a riveting contest.
Recent form suggests that both teams are in fine fettle, boasting impressive lineups. The French have the advantage of playing on home soil, but the Dutch shouldn't be underestimated. Moreover, France remains unbeaten in their last five home outings.

This evening's contest will hinge on desire and seizing opportunities. All eyes will be on Mbappe, captaining Les Bleus for the first time. However, one must not overlook the potential contributions from both sets of players – each has a point to prove tonight!

[blue Snow]

I have enough confidence to bet on France tonight because France so far only lost 1 match from 19 qualification matches, and the attacker performance also makes me confident to bet a score of 3-1, or maybe 2-1 because of Ronal Koeman era, Netherland use 4 defenders which I think hard for create more than 1 different goal, I don't know what your thought, maybe the same as me?

[Jossque]

Portugal had a comfortable win against their opponent. The team played a dominant football from the beginning to the end of the match and scored 4 goals. Portugal started the match fast and scored in the first minutes to take a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Portugal was naturally the fast starter and they managed to increase the difference to 3 by scoring 2 more goals in 6 minutes. 10 minutes later they scored the 4th goal. Ronaldo managed to score 2 goals. Portugal had 35 shots during the match and managed to find 11 hits and scored 4 goals. Their opponents had 1 hit in 2 shots.
