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

[Polkeins]

Hansi Flick was sacked by DFB and Germany will have a new coach soon. About 9 months before Euro 2024 at their home, Germany are in a chaos and affer winning World Cup 2014, 9 years later, they are at bottom again. Germany still have many good players but their mentality is no longer rocky like their brand in the past.

News. Rudi Voller will be a temporary coach of Germany but he will not be their coach in Euro 2024. Do you think of any good candidate for this position? If it is months ago, Tuchel can be a good choice but he is already a coach of PSG and will not be available for Germany.

Flick probably did not expect that he would be fired, but he was not forgiven for the 1-4 defeat by Japan. In Bayern Munich, he was an excellent coach, perhaps second only to Heynckes, but it didn't go well in the national team, the last matches are a nightmare, the percentage of wins with the national team is less than 50. In general, apparently the patience of the federation has burst and they decided to dismiss now so that the replacement has time to prepare the team. 9 months is a good time. They say that the main candidate so far is Julian Nagelsmann, if it does not work out to agree, then probably Tuchel will be next.

Luxembourg is showing extraordinary performance in group stage this qualifying period. They still have chance to go Euro 2024 (its pretty low tho). Besides Türkiye many other expensive national teams had terrible results this match week. I think it's mainly because leagues are started rather new and players are not very concentrated yet. I am only bit worried with Italy cause they are important team, if they can't go to finals its too bad.

Yeah Luxembourg's opportunity is still open, their only competitor is Slovakia both have collected 10 points from 5 matches but Slovakia conceded fewer goals so they are in 2nd place and Luxembourg will have to play Portugal in the next match clearly this is not an easy match they could lose points again while Slovakia is a little easier because it is against Liechtenstein a team that has never won and is without points this is an advantage for Slovakia to rise further.

Yeah that group feels really competitive besides Portugal (is already too strong). I wish Luxembourg can go further in this race competing with Slovakia and Bosnia honestly. Actually they both are not that very strong teams in my opinion. Portugal is probably relaxed a lot. In other groups there are many nightmare like matches between bigger countries but Portugal's group is filled with mediocre teams. Luxembourg can't get point there against Portugal sadly.

Luxembourg got 3 wins in the group. I think they are better than expected. It is obvious that they played much better matches than expected, especially considering that they also beat Iceland. They have the same points as Slovakia. While Portugal is the sole leader, I wish Luxembourg would come second in the group.

Group H seems also equal and competitive even more than group J. There is no leader in Group H, because Kazakhstan and Finland have 12 points each and Denmark and Slovenia have 10 points each, but Kazakhstan has 1 more game, so it is not clear who will come out of the first place. Finland and Denmark are still playing in a draw, which further confuses the situation, because all will still have a chance to fight for the exit from the group.

Hansi Flick dismissal from Germany National team doesn't come as a surprise to me. He was already walking a tight rope prior to that game against Japan. The outcome of the Japan game was disappointing. Japan were just out to embarrass Germany and they did it in style. I don't know but I think he was trying the same approach he did with Bayern but it didn't pay off well for him.

Also, why the hell is Arsenal and Germany National team sticking with Kai Havertz in the starting line up? He needs some time on the bench to re-evaluate himself.

Even if Italy lose to Ukraine and remain in third place, they will still have a chance to qualify through the underdog qualifier. On the one hand, Italy will be the clear favorite there, but remembering how North Macedonia knocked them out of such a tournament, the nerves of Italian fans will be strained to the limit.
I wonder how Spalletti is feeling?  It is clear that there is a lot of randomness in national team games, but so far this randomness is working against him.

Italy continues to have another bad match and they only can hope with improvement in rest matches of this group, they can take over the second position from Ukraine. It is their target as finding a chance with underdog qualifier is more risky.

Spaletti only became Italy coach recently and he did not have enough time to work with those players. He needs more time but quality of Italy players is a big problem and it can not be changed by Spaletti. They must work to build up a strong team and use a team strength to cover up their lack of star players. It is their best choice to move forwards not only for Euro 2024 but in future too.

National team coaches never have enough time to work with the players - all games are played on the day offs away from the main games - club games. Even the World Cup is now held on day offs in the middle of the main tournament  
I do not agree that Italy has a bad team - no worse than most other teams, and in any case, this team should be able to beat North Macedonia with a reliable score, and not score one goal and hope that this will be enough.

Flick did not do well in the last games with germany, some were lost. I would like to see a player from Germany who was last world champion. For example, Bastian Schweinsteiger or Lukas Podolski, they are not coaches with experience, but it would be something new and I think they need that now. For the next week sports director Rudi Völler and youth director Hannes Wolf should made this job until the new one is there.

[3meek]

Yesterday I thought Italy had a good chance to get a rematch with North Macedonia, but they blew that attempt... Last time Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup because of Macedonia... Yesterday they failed to beat them again, but were lucky to draw... Honestly it was the most unexpected match for me...

Denmark's national team finally confuses all the cards in Group H. Now Denmark has 13 points after the victory over Finland, Finland has 12 points after the defeat and Slovenia's game today, they also have 10 points, but if they win, it will be 13. In general, the most confusing and competitive group I think.

In the German national team after the departure of Joachim Lew only got worse, although at the time it seemed that the change of coach will benefit, but it happened otherwise and Flick failed to prepare for the Euros, and the recent losses to Poland and Japan put an end to his career in the national team.

Seriously the Denmark team almost played out a draw in this fixture. I felt some how disappointed when I saw the first half ended in a draw.
After the kick off of the second half the Denmark team started pressing till they finally got a goal, is so fun because they hardly play out more than a goal if the opponent refuses to score, I wonder the kind of force they'd use when is time to show how good they are.

Yesterday I thought Italy had a good chance to get a rematch with North Macedonia, but they blew that attempt... Last time Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup because of Macedonia... Yesterday they failed to beat them again, but were lucky to draw... Honestly it was the most unexpected match for me...

Luciano Spalletti had a less than smooth debut with Italy. Italy's strength has been too easy for its opponents to spot in recent years. Usually, when opponents face Gli Azzurri, they are a little afraid.
Their best game started to fade after winning EURO 2020 even though the Italian squad was filled with players who played in the big European leagues.

I still don't know what caused their decline in performance. Is it because of Mancini's effect as coach before Spalletti? I am someone who doesn't like Mancini's coaching style.
It also doesn't seem true because in Mancini's last match before being replaced by Spalletti, Italy beat the Netherlands.

It seems like North Macedonia is a difficult opponent for Italy, because the fact is in some matches or their meetings also in the head to head record, that Italy cannot always beat North Macedonia. So yes, I think it might not be a strange result if Italy can't beat North Macedonia, maybe it's like a curse or something else. But apart from that, at this moment Italy is also still not in a good position in the standings and of course, Italy still has to make greater efforts to be in the top two in the standings.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Hansi Flick managed Germany national team for 25 games and got sacked. Honestly I think this was the right thing to do also. Because Germany haven't had a good level of team spirit for a long time. Otherwise they don't have a bad squad in fact. Their squad is full of not only experienced but also young and skilled players.

This squad have the potential to achieve much bigger successes. But instead they have been performing really poorly for a while. That loss against Japan was also unbelievable.

The only thing Germany need is a good management now. I hope they pick the right manager for themselves this time. As Euro 2024 is going to be played in Germany it is very important for them to take advantage of this.

In general, the most confusing and competitive group I think.

Yeah Groups E and H are the most competitive each team competes with each other with difference 1-3 points and only 2 teams qualified, in group H Denmark is a strong candidate while in group E Czech are favorites. In a few minutes Albania will fight against Poland both teams need 3 points and the winner will take over the standings, I can see Lewandowski in the line up but that doesn't mean Poland is the favorite because the handicap is -0.25 for Poland there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw and my betting option is that both teams score seems interesting.

Luxembourg is showing extraordinary performance in group stage this qualifying period. They still have chance to go Euro 2024 (its pretty low tho). Besides Türkiye many other expensive national teams had terrible results this match week. I think it's mainly because leagues are started rather new and players are not very concentrated yet. I am only bit worried with Italy cause they are important team, if they can't go to finals its too bad.

Yeah Luxembourg's opportunity is still open, their only competitor is Slovakia both have collected 10 points from 5 matches but Slovakia conceded fewer goals so they are in 2nd place and Luxembourg will have to play Portugal in the next match clearly this is not an easy match they could lose points again while Slovakia is a little easier because it is against Liechtenstein a team that has never won and is without points this is an advantage for Slovakia to rise further.

Portugal have won all five of their group games, averaging three goals per game and conceding none. This performance could have been predicted before the group matches started, but probably no one could have predicted Luxembourg's performance so far. After drawing with Slovakia and then losing to Portugal in their first game, the visitors have managed to beat their other three opponents in quick succession. From being considered one of the weakest links in the group, they have suddenly become a contender for second place. Still, they have a weak squad compared to their opponents in this match. I don't think they can repeat the same success against Portugal.

5 Wins with clean sheets Portugal also has a high goal productivity because looking at its current ratio Portugal is 3 goals a game and indeed they are unrivaled now in group J.
They are already comfortable and will qualify for the next phase but for Slovakia and Luxembourg they still have a chance if you look at the current points but Slovakia will still be a little difficult in the remaining matches.
They still have to face Portugal as well as of course Luxembourg in a dead heat so if Solvakia fail in this then a 3rd place finish is a certainty.

On the other hand we now have the Netherlands and Ireland match. The penalties in this early round are a bit tricky as the Netherlands now need to win the match to keep Greece at bay.

[Ryu_Ar1]

It would be funny if a club played a game and didn't want to win.
England tried a few chances but in the end Ukraine also played very well in this match which made England unable to develop their attacks despite several attempts and substitutions but they failed to maximise with their dominance.
However, they are still comfortable in their current position and it is quite interesting to see the competition for the second place I guess because for the first place, England is definitely there but for the second place, Italy and Ukraine still have a chance to prove themselves.

I don't expect England to even play out a draw in this encounter because they're the favorite and the 3 Lions have all they needed to come out victorious with all 3pt, imagine them struggling to win against the Ukraine national team. It was as if both teams are of the same strength, well I'm judging base on the kind of world class players the 3Lions have and they couldn't dominate.
When I see the England team score just a goal or two in a game that they ought to score more than 3 goals it just reminds me of the France team, and is annoying to gambling investors as the case maybe.
I just believe they (England) have a plan in their next match and not to end in a draw.

But this was inevitable because seeing that the final result could not be changed and they only managed to get 1 point in this match.
Even though England is actually safe, this is a little annoying for me with the results achieved because with that my bet lost.
On the other hand, Italy also seems to be still having difficulties in this qualifying phase. Hopefully they don't miss out on the Euro opportunity after previously failing in the World Cup. Because if this fails then I think their quality will decline the most drastically compared to other national teams.

[coinlocket$]

The situation of Italy is not great but.

Even if they end in 3rd position they will have one more opportunity of playoff thanks to their position achieved with the Nation's League.

[3meek]

I really like the Ireland vs Netherlands match... The Irish are playing very well so far, though both teams were lucky to score goals from penalties... Judging by the odds, bookmakers favour the Netherlands, but according to the statistics of shots I think that both teams have a chance to win...

If you look at this group Portugal is the strongest and cannot be compared to the other countries in the group. We have seen the big difference from the matches and this was why Portugal won all their matches on a clean sheet.

Luxemburg is the country that surprises me because I don't expect them to have such wonderful performance in them. It is only them that am sure of that will qualify with Portugal from that group,the other two countries are very weak in football currently.
