And we're stopping club footbal for this stuff again? I barely can find games that would be attractive to watch. Maybe Sweden - Switzerland or Romania - Austria looks like only pairs with similar level teams playing.
Today there is friendly game between Gibraltar and New Caledonia. Such clash sounds better than any game in Champions league or EPL!

I'm just going to watch my country's games against Bulgaria and Georgia during this break. I still can't get over the embarrassing score we got against Spain.    I hope we collect 6 points in these 2 upcoming games...

Same here man. Qualifiers is just a really boring stage for me. It doesn't end for so many months because of playing home and away.

I'm just looking forward to the main competition in 2026. That'd be fun but I'm not enjoying international breaks for now... Can't wait for club football to restart!

There are allot of matches that are interesting to watch in this international break. all continent will be playing there is  European qualifiers, South America, Asia and even African qualifiers for the world cup. There are games worth watching because country football is very great to watch.

Today there is friendly game between Gibraltar and New Caledonia. Such clash sounds better than any game in Champions league or EPL!

Epic game indeed between 2 territories of less than 0.5 million people together with Gibraltar x8 the number of people in New Caledonia so you could imagine how many top players they have and how intense the match will be especially if it is a friendly one (with all respect to them)
The UEFA games will start in less than 18 hours.
AFC World Cup qualifiers started today as the members above said. Best 3rd and 4th team from each group will face each other for qualification. Saudi Arabia won its game against Indonesia and Qatar got a draw vs Oman.

Damn, I managed to pick only game of evening without goals to watch. Czech Republic 0:0 Croatia was really boring.
Austria 10:0 San Marino. It was already 6:0 at halftime. Highest ever Austria win and Arnautovic with 4 goals becomes Austria all time top scorer.

Faroe Islands win against Montenegro isn't surprise. But that they won 4:0 is very surprising. They're really good at home.
Belarus 0:6 Denmark is another humiliating score.

Goal records continue to be broken in World Cup qualifying matches.
Norway scored 11 goals against Moldova on September 9th. On September 7th, Spain scored 6 goals against Türkiye but also conceded an equal number.
Today, Austria scored 10 goals against San Marino and won the match 10-0.
Currently, the record (in this qualifier) ​​is held by Norway.
I'm starting to wonder which team will score the most goals during the qualifiers.

You really picked a good match. It was one of the most evenly matched matches tonight, so it's no surprise it ended goalless. Austria scored 10 goals against San Marino. Watching a team playing alone wouldn't be fun either. It varies from person to person, but I wouldn't enjoy it. Norway 11 goals, Austria 10 goals. These teams have no mercy. Will there be any team that can score more goals?

I'm curious about this qualifier, too. There will be teams pushing hard to break records, let's see if there's a team that can pull it off.

Only few people are showing interest in the world cup qualifiers cause of how it organisation is made off and on. Another reason I'm guessing can be dew to the involvement of many weak national teams in the qualifiers and it is boring to watch how the stronger national teams trash them with lot of goals.

This Austria in today's match qualifiers hitting San Marino with a 10-0 score line. How can a match of this kind not be boring to watch.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting match between Argentina vs Venezuela. We know Argentina is a strong team, Argentina has performed well in World Cup qualifiers. But in the last match, Argentina lost against Ecuador. On the other hand, Venezuela has lost by a big margin in the last few matches.

However, Argentina has won 4 matches and drawn 1 match in the last 5 head-to-head matches between these two teams. So Argentina will be ahead based on performance, I think Argentina will win this match. So I want to bet on Argentina in this match, what do you think?

Turkey will be away against Bulgaria tomorrow in a European World Cup qualifier. I hope Turkey wins this match. However, the most recent match against Spain ended in a major upset. We lost 6-0 in Turkey, a humiliating loss. Most disappointingly, we lost in front of our own fans. We are currently fighting to qualify for the tournament from the second-best quota. To do so, we need to beat Georgia and Bulgaria in both matches. Furthermore, earning at least one point away against Spain will be crucial for our reputation.

Will it be that much interest taking into account the unequal match of the two national teams and their h2h which has recorded an excellent domination by Argentina. And for that lost to Ecuador that Argentina was met with am not without confidence that they will win this match against Venezuela. Solidifying their top spot in the group will also mean winning Venezuela and I'm predicting that the match will produce much goals above 4 with Venezuela not contributing a single goal.

There's no interesting games in this international break. So i decide to take easy game to bet on. The direct bet is not interesting enough as it gives me almost nothing in return, so i decide to bet on handicap belgium -1.75.
I know belgium not in a good position at this moment as they missed Lukaku due to injury, but it seems they can have de bruyne on the pitch. So i'm not really worrying their capability to win this game with huge scores.

I'm being so optimistic, though i know they got draw against Macedonian in the last game. however, i believe they learn from their mistake. I feel good even if they missed Lukaku, but still have Batshuayi who is still able in replacing him. KDB and Doku are also fit for that game too. It raises my optimism to believe they will win with huge score.

Is there anyone who also take a bet in this game? interesting to discuss

Argentina is the favourite to win the match because they are a strong team, and their performance and quality players will show you why. Argentina is still one of the favourites to win the World Cup next year because they have what it takes to beat many teams and win the World Cup, even without Messi, they look good and always find a way to beat their opponents; in this match, I expect Argentina to score more than two goals.

Turkey will be away against Bulgaria tomorrow in a European World Cup qualifier. I hope Turkey wins this match. However, the most recent match against Spain ended in a major upset. We lost 6-0 in Turkey, a humiliating loss. Most disappointingly, we lost in front of our own fans. We are currently fighting to qualify for the tournament from the second-best quota. To do so, we need to beat Georgia and Bulgaria in both matches. Furthermore, earning at least one point away against Spain will be crucial for our reputation.

Turkey has been a very good team since last season, and with the help of young players like Arda guler and other talented players, Turkey is able to perform well. They were defeated by Spain in their last match, which was not surprising because Spain is better than Turkey. After losing their last match against Spain, Turkey will do everything possible to defeat Bulgaria.

I am expecting Turkey to win Bulgaria tomorrow,  because they are a better team and they will also want to qualify for the world cup. It's a disappointment that they lost to Spain w8th such high margin, I was really surprised on the scoreline, but nit surprised they lost to Spain.
They have still got the chance to qualify for the world cup, like I said I expect them to win Bulgaria tomorrow and I also think they will win against Georgia, but that's going to be a harder game than the match they are play tomorrow against Bulgaria.

To this day, I still can't understand why FIFA doesn't put on these international games as soon as the big leagues in Europe finish and then leave 45 days for the players to have vacations. This way, we would watch the big league games without these interruptions that always bring bad results for the clubs because the players arrive injured and tired. But FIFA only thinks about money. They know that during the breaks in the big league games, they will have a lot of viewership, so they will keep the same calendar.

Bulgaria is not a total bad team they should expect a very big fight with Turkey because they will be coming with anger to get revenge in the game following their last poor performance against Spain, Turkey may be the better side against Bulgaria but if they have not recovered from the defeat and improved don't be surprised if they do not get a good result in the game against Bulgaria because the Bulgarian side will want to take advantage of their poor defense which was their major reasons of conceding 8 goals against Spain to attack them to see if they will make the same defensive errors they made in the match. If Turkey end up winning against Bulgaria their performance will determine the results to be expecting when they play against Bulgaria.

You are right, some clubs are suffering right now because of injury of their best players and this injury were gotten from the international games played this thing you said is something that FIFA should look into so that clubs won't be suffering Because of injury there best players got from international games, however it is not that easy for FIFA because of world cup and other international competition, and again remember that Europe is not the only continent that has different league other continent also have different league in different countries so it is very difficult for FIFA and I understand them very well however they should try to make some adjustment in order to make things very easy for the players and also the club.
And again I understand your point very well the interruption is too much and it makes one not to fully enjoy this difficult League competition however it is something I think is beyond FIFA but they can still make some adjustment.

In fact, it would be easier to get rid of these idiotic (in the new format) qualifying games altogether and hold the World Cup with 200 teams. Nothing would change for the World Cup itself – there would just be more groups, and they would be just as absurd as they are now. But the club game schedule will be normalized without the breaks and injuries that players get while on national teams. It's very uncomfortable to follow football at the moment, as every month, in the midst of interesting games, there is a break for national team matches.

It should be an easy win for Turkey, I don’t see Bulgaria causing them any problem. The last time Bulgaria won a football match was in 2024. The only thing turkey needs to do in this game is try to score as much as possible so they can cancel the bundle of goals they conceded against Spain, aside that it should be an easy win.

The match against Georgia is definitely going to be a difficult one, Georgia are a very tricky side but with Kvaratskhelia out injured they should be less dangerous especially when attacking. I won’t be surprised if I see turkey winning both matches in the international break.

Gaining a point against Spain is definitely not going to happen, sorry mate. We saw that they did at turkey then imagine hosting you at spain. Well it football and anything is bound to happen but it going to be difficult.

Goal records continue to be broken in World Cup qualifying matches.
Norway scored 11 goals against Moldova on September 9th. On September 7th, Spain scored 6 goals against Türkiye but also conceded an equal number.
Today, Austria scored 10 goals against San Marino and won the match 10-0.
Currently, the record (in this qualifier) ​​is held by Norway.
I'm starting to wonder which team will score the most goals during the qualifiers.

In UEFA, there is teams called Tiers D I think in Nations League, maybe some of Tiers C too, that should play together first in another side competition before qualifying to the main qualifiers.
The level of these teams is chaotic, worse than nations who you never heard about in Oceania or Caribbean. Maybe they should collect the best men and women out there and let them form a respectable team better than seeing such humiliation live on TV. I am pretty sure top teams are instructed to not abuse them and score many goals since it sent a bad image for the competition. Seeing 10 goals in one game might pass but imagine all their games end with such score..
